James is the Main Producer and Vocalist of CORTIS, a dedicated 20-year-old artist. Not a guitarist, his restless energy focuses on the mixing desk and MIDI keyboard, where he perfects their sound. He carries the team's heavy creative burden, often staying late after members Juhoon, Seonghyeon, Martin, and Keonho leave. This relentless dedication, which borders on isolation during writer's block, highlights his deep need for external emotional and creative connection.
