TXT's 'Angel Bite' Credits Go to CORTIS, and MOA Is Asking BIGHIT MUSIC Why

The title track of TOMORROW X TOGETHER's ninth mini album, "Angel Bite," carries production and writing credits from three members of CORTIS. According to the tracklist fans are reading, no TXT member is credited on the song, and that one line has driven the week's argument.

BIGHIT MUSIC revealed the tracklist on Oct. 23. @formartin_th posted on X that Martin took two credits on Track 02, "Angel Bite," including one of the producer slots. @cortisitalia posted the fuller split: Martin and Juhoon as producers, lyricists and composers, and Seonghyeon as lyricist and composer.

The summary that traveled furthest came from @leslieMen on X on Oct. 24: produced by CORTIS's Martin and Juhoon, written with Seonghyeon, "TXT member credits: 0." The same post noted that TXT members did earn writing credits on two of the album's B-sides, and that fans were asking why junior labelmates took the lead on the title track.

The question under the credits

Xiwang K-pop tea said in a video uploaded Oct. 25 that the dispute has less to do with CORTIS receiving credits than with whether BIGHIT MUSIC is giving TXT enough room to shape its own music as the group approaches its seventh year.

The channel also reported fans raising Beomgyu's efforts to widen his songwriting and production work, and Yeonjun's reported lack of a formal choreography credit for "Beautiful Strangers," released in 2025. Complaints about the group's brief description on BIGHIT MUSIC's official website came up again alongside those.

CORTIS fans answered in the same threads, per the channel: the members have contributed to other TXT songs before, and a younger group likely has little control over how writing and production opportunities are handed out.

One theory, labeled as one

@Hyuntherealz replied on X on Oct. 25 with a belief rather than a report: that "Angel Bite" was a song CORTIS made at a song camp that did not fit their vision, and that TXT's team revamped it for TXT.

Another CORTIS fan account, @coertis_, posted on Oct. 23, in Indonesian, that Juhoon had recently had a deep talk with Martin about struggling with lyrics for a song, then wrote that the account later heard Juhoon had become a producer on "Angel Bite." It reads as how the news landed in that fandom, not as a credit.

Not everyone is in the argument. @mybtxtis posted on X on Oct. 24, in Indonesian, asking MOA and CORTIS fans to stop fighting and keep supporting each other through the comeback and through "Angel Bite." That post drew 59,134 views and 3,966 likes.
