Moon Chae Won just sent the K-Pop world into a frenzy, and honestly, no one saw this coming. The beloved South Korean actress publicly named CORTIS as her favourite K-Pop group during a fan Q&A this week, and the confession has sparked a massive wave of reactions from fans across the globe.
What Exactly Did Moon Chae Won Say?
During a fan Q&A session posted to her personal YouTube channel around May 21 to 22, 2026, Moon Chae Won answered questions sent in by her followers. When one fan asked about her favourite K-Pop song or group, she responded with a noticeably shy smile and said, “CORTIS. They are my favorite.”
She did not stop there. Moon Chae Won then showed the filming staff a reel she had been obsessing over lately, specifically featuring CORTIS’s track “REDRED”. She even brought up a related reel where CORTIS members mimicked the original, calling it hilarious. Then, turning directly to the camera, she quietly but firmly said, “Guys, I’m a legit fan.”
Who Exactly Is CORTIS?
If you are just discovering the group through this moment, here is a quick bit of context. CORTIS is a five-member boy group under Big Hit Music, the same label home to global superstars BTS and TXT. The group debuted in 2025 and has been building serious momentum ever since, both in South Korea and internationally.

This Is Not the First Time She Has Shown Her CORTIS Love
Interestingly, Moon Chae Won had already made her CORTIS fandom very clear earlier in 2026. Back in January, while promoting her comedy film ‘Heartman: Rock and Love’, she made a bold promise to her audience. She declared that if the film surpassed its break-even point at the box office, she would go out into the streets of Myeongdong dancing to CORTIS music.
That kind of public commitment is not something a casual listener makes. Fans were quick to point this out, and the clip resurfaced almost immediately after her latest confession went viral.
However, it did not end there. A fan account on X also noted that even after Moon Chae Won left a separate project called The Newsroom, she brought up CORTIS once again as a “campaign promise”, showing just how consistent and genuine her support for the group has truly been over time.
How Fans Are Reacting
The reaction online has been enthusiastic, to say the least. Fan discussions have been flooding platforms like Weverse, X (formerly Twitter), and Korean search portals, with supporters of both Moon Chae Won and CORTIS celebrating the crossover loudly. The moment has been trending across Korean online communities, with fans of both sides, known as Coers (CORTIS fans) and Moon Chae Won followers, coming together in excitement.
One translated post on X read, “I want Moon Chae-won to meet CORTIS,” followed by praise for how sincere and consistent her support for the group has been. That post alone pulled in over 20,500 views, reflecting just how much traction this moment has gained globally.
It is also worth noting that CORTIS recently landed in the top 3 on the Billboard 200 with their album ‘GREENGREEN’, clocking approximately 81,500 in pure sales. So the timing of Moon Chae Won’s confession has given the group yet another visibility boost at a genuinely significant point in their career.
The Lee Jun Ki Question That Had Everyone in Stitches
Alongside the CORTIS confession, Moon Chae Won was also hit with a rather unexpected question during the same Q&A. A fan asked, “Why did you break up with Lee Jun Ki?”
Moon Chae Won burst out laughing before clarifying that the question was clearly coming from a fan of the Korean drama ‘Flower of Evil’, in which she and Lee Jun Ki starred together as a couple. She set the record straight immediately, saying, “I never broke up with Jun Ki oppa. Because we were never together!”
The moment added a wonderfully light and funny tone to the video and quickly became another highlight that fans clipped and shared across platforms.
What Else Is Going On With Moon Chae Won?
Beyond the viral fan Q&A, Moon Chae Won recently made a personal announcement that has also been making headlines. She confirmed her upcoming marriage to a non-celebrity fiancé, scheduled for June 2026, sharing the news through a heartfelt letter. The wedding is expected to remain private. This news has added another layer of excitement around her public profile right now, making her one of the most talked-about figures in Korean entertainment at the moment.
Moon Chae Won’s CORTIS confession may have caught a few people off guard, but for anyone who has been following her closely, it tracks perfectly.
