Abstract: The two-character level-1 WZW models corresponding to Lie algebras in the Cvitanovi'c-Deligne series $A_1,A_2,G_2,D_4,F_4,E_6,E_7$ have been argued to form coset pairs with respect to the meromorphic $E_{8,1}$ CFT. Evidence for this has taken the form of holomorphic bilinear relations between the characters. We propose that suitable 4-point functions of primaries in these models also obey bilinear relations that combine them into current correlators for $E_{8,1}$, and provide strong evidence that these relations hold in each case. Different cases work out due to special identities involving tensor invariants of the algebra or hypergeometric functions. In particular these results verify previous calculations of correlators for exceptional WZW models, which have rather subtle features. We also find evidence that the intermediate vertex operator algebras A${}_{0.5}$ and E${}_{7.5}$, as well as the three-character A${}_{4,1}$ theory, also appear to satisfy the novel coset relation.
