K-pop男团Cortis在其全球巡演中推行"放下手机"的演唱会礼仪倡议，但这一举措在粉丝中引发了混议 [1]。该乐队要求粉丝停止用手机录影，专注现场演出互动 [1]。巡演于7月18日在韩国仁川启动 [1]，乐队名称Cortis源自短语"colour outside the lines"，意为不循规蹈矩的自由精神 [1]。乐队成员James是年纪最大的成员，仅20岁 [1]。
这一呼吁在K-pop文化中引发了特殊的反响。粉丝录制视频（fancams）在K-pop社群中是重要的社交货币，使得这项倡议遭到部分观众反对 [1]。为了参加演唱会，粉丝Park Ji-yeon专门租赁了高端智能手机用于录制高质量视频，并表示参加两天演唱会的总花费超过100万韩元（约700美元/520英镑） [1]。面对粉丝的不满，Cortis在第一天演唱会后调整了立场，改为理解粉丝录影需求，强调共同享受演唱会体验 [1]。
类似的演唱会手机管制政策并非Cortis独创。流行歌手Phoebe Bridgers和Alicia Keys也要求演唱会观众使用锁定手机袋 [1]。BTS成员Jungkook曾在演唱会上对观众说："Stop looking at your phone screen. Just look at me" [1]。
K-pop group Cortis launched its global tour on July 18 in Incheon, South Korea, with a call for concert-goers to refrain from filming on their mobile devices and instead focus on the live performance [1]. The band's message to "put your phone down" sparked considerable debate among fans, as video recordings—known as fancams—represent a significant form of cultural currency within K-pop communities [1].
The initial push-back from attendees prompted Cortis to recalibrate its approach after the first day of performances [1]. Rather than maintaining a strict stance against phone use, the band shifted its messaging to acknowledge fans' desire to record while emphasizing the importance of collectively enjoying the concert experience [1]. Some fans had invested substantially in capturing content; one attendee, Park Ji-yeon, rented a high-end smartphone specifically to record high-quality video and spent over one million Korean won—approximately $700 or £520—attending two days of shows [1].
The band's evolving position reflects a broader conversation about concert etiquette in the music industry [1]. Other artists have taken similar steps to discourage phone use; performers including Phoebe Bridgers and Alicia Keys have required audiences to use phone-locking pouches, while BTS member Jungkook once told concert attendees during a performance, "Stop looking at your phone screen. Just look at me" [1]. Cortis, whose name derives from the phrase "colour outside the lines" and reflects a spirit of non-conformity, comprises members including James, the group's oldest member at age 20 [1].
