TXT fans protest BIGHIT MUSIC over CORTIS songwriting credits

Fans of the K-pop group TXT are expressing significant dissatisfaction following the announcement of credits for their upcoming ninth mini-album, ‘PERFECT STORM’. The controversy centers on the title track, ‘Angel Bite’, which features songwriting and production credits for Martin, Juhoon, and Seonghyeon—members of the group CORTIS.

Critics within the fandom have noted that while CORTIS members are credited on the album's lead single, the members of TXT themselves appear to have limited songwriting and production contributions, with their credits restricted to B-side tracks. This has led to accusations against BIGHIT MUSIC for allegedly minimizing the creative input of TXT, a group currently in its seventh year.

Social media backlash has highlighted perceived patterns of insufficient recognition for TXT members, citing previous instances such as Yeonjun not receiving official credit for choreography on the 2025 release ‘Beautiful Strangers’. Conversely, some supporters of CORTIS have defended the inclusion, noting that the group's members have participated in TXT's music in the past.
