North West has spoken about the time she met K-pop group CORTIS, but she claims their bodyguard stopped her from taking a picture with them.
On Wednesday (October 14), the N0rth4evr artist held a TikTok live session with her mother, Kim Kardashian, when a fan asked her whether she listens to the five-member South Korean group.
"You guys wanna know something crazy? “When they were just coming up, I think I saw them at The Grove," North replied, referencing the Los Angeles shopping centre.
"Me and my friend tried to ask for a picture to their security and they were like, 'No,'" she continued. "I’m pretty sure it was them."
The Big Hit Music act released their second EP, GreenGreen, in May, just two months before embarking on the Put Your Phone Down Tour. The Los Angeles stop of the tour, held at the YouTube Theater, was recorded for a concert broadcast which appeared in select theaters for two nights in August.
North, whom Kardashian shares with her ex-husband, Kanye West, saw major in-person fandom at ComplexCon 2026 earlier this month at her booth. During Playboi Carti's concert at Crypto Arena that weekend, Ye popped out for a performance of "Can’t Tell Me Nothing," "Carnival" and "Off the Grid."
