10 CORTIS Martin Favorite Foods Every COER Must Know
When I saw CORTIS Martin favorite foods, I thought this guy is really something else! Mint choco? Hawaiian pizza? I can’t believe he actually loves foods that people feel so strongly about, haha. Martin, the leader and main vocalist of CORTIS, is half Canadian and half Korean, so it makes sense that he enjoys both Western and Korean food. In this post, I’ve rounded up 10 foods that Martin loves. If you’re a COER with a sweet tooth, you don’t wanna miss this.
Who Is CORTIS Martin? A Quick Introduction
Have you heard of Martin for the first time? Among all the CORTIS Martin facts, the most impressive thing about him is just how multi-talented he is. Martin is the leader of CORTIS, a 5-member boy group under Big Hit Music that debuted in August 2025. Born in 2008 to a Canadian father and a Korean mother, he is mixed. But since he grew up in Korea, Korean is actually the language he feels most comfortable in!
Even before his debut, he was already credited as a co-writer and co-composer on hit songs like TXT’s ‘Deja Vu’ and ILLIT’s ‘Magnetic’, a true artist with serious skills. And the fact that he sang the Korean national anthem at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics opening ceremony? Every COER already knows that, right? 😄
Top 10 CORTIS Martin Favorite Food
Alright, let’s get into CORTIS Martin food preferences!
1. Acai Bowl
Among all CORTIS Martin favorite food picks, the one Martin is most obsessed with right now is the acai bowl! He especially loves the combination of peanut butter + banana + granola toppings. The crunchy granola with the sweet and creamy banana and peanut butter combo is something I personally love too. What about you, COER?

Acai berry smoothie pack + peanut butter + banana slices + granola. These four ingredients are all you need! I personally like to add strawberries and drizzle some honey on top. It makes it even sweeter and more refreshing. COER, try making it yourself and share a photo! Don’t forget to tag @Blondekimchi_ !!
2. Hawaiian Pizza
The debate that has divided the entire world, pineapple on pizza 😂 One of the things I was most surprised to find out from CORTIS Martin facts is that Martin actually loves Hawaiian pizza. Pineapple on pizza is something people feel incredibly strongly about all around the world, but Martin is a huge fan! The sweet and salty combo of pineapple might just be coming from his Korean DNA. We Koreans love sweet and salty combinations like bulgogi and tteokbokki. COER, are you a sweet and salty kind of person?
3. Mint Chocolate
Here is another food that shows off his unique taste. Mint chocolate is one that simply cannot be left off the CORTIS Martin favorite food list. So many people absolutely hate mint chocolate, calling it “toothpaste flavor,” but Martin has made it clear that he genuinely loves it. In Korea, people who love mint chocolate are called “mincho-pa.” He is definitely mincho-pa. Either way, doesn’t his mint chocolate obsession alone tell you so much about his one-of-a-kind taste? haha
Mint Choco or Nah?
Which mint chocolate dessert does Martin love the most though? Mint choco ice cream? Mint choco latte? Hoping that one day COER will ask him directly🍫🌿
4. Korean BBQ
You already know K BBQ that people love all over the world. CORTIS Martin loves it too. He has been spotted taking photos with samgyeopsal, and apparently when he ate chadolbaegi he got so into it he almost got angry at how good it was, haha.

5. Kkobuk Chip Chocolate
His favorite snack you can find on the CORTIS Martin food list is none other than Kkobuk Chip chocolate flavor(Orion Turtle chips). It has layers and layers of crispy texture with a rich and sweet chocolate taste. Kkobuk Chip is personally my favorite Korean snack too. These days the flavors have gotten so wide, they even have a matcha chocolate flavor now. COER, if you ever visit Korea, trust me and trust Martin on this one, you have to try Kkobuk Chip!
6. Matcha
Surprisingly, there is something on the CORTIS Martin food list that is not sweet but bitter. Although, maybe he was thinking of Korean matcha latte when he said this. I was actually shocked when I tried matcha latte in Europe, it had zero sweetness, just pure bitterness. But every matcha latte in Korea is very sweet. Martin loves matcha desserts too, matcha ice cream, matcha cake… come to think of it, those are not bitter at all either. It all comes back to sweet in the end, haha.
7. Ansungtamyun
CORTIS Martin facts of Korean ramyun!Out of so many ramen brands out there, Martin specifically said he loves Ansungtamyun! I personally think he is probably not a big fan of spicy food — because Ansungtamyun is really not spicy at all, it is literally the ramen that Korean babies love. It is also one of the original Korean ramen brands.
🇰🇷 Korean Tip
rack an egg in and boil it together. Thinly slice some green onion on top at the end. Super delicious!
8. French Fries
The rare non-sweet item on the CORTIS Martin food list, french fries! Now I am suddenly curious. Does he like dipping them in ketchup? Or is he a mayo dipper? COER, if you know the answer, drop it in the comments! 😆
9. Chocolate Milk
One thing is now very clear from CORTIS Martin facts, he absolutely loves anything sweet. Martin has said that drinking chocolate milk after practice is a must for him. In Korea, people who love sweet things like this are called “aegi ipmat”, which basically means having a kid’s taste. Are you an aegi ipmat too?
10. Bungeoppang (Taiyaki)
Bungeoppang is a Korean winter snack, a fish-shaped bread filled with either red bean paste or sweet cream. And people are always divided into two sides: red bean or cream! Martin has firmly declared himself a red bean person. The soft and creamy filling is delicious too, but for Martin, the sweet and nutty flavor of red bean just hits differently. I have noticed that a lot of my European friends are not big fans of red bean. What about you?
