CORTIS 'REDRED' hits Melon monthly chart No. 2 — first boy group in top 2 in over 2 years

REDRED landed at No. 2 on Melon's June monthly chart. No boy group song had sat in the top 2 since March 2024—a gap of two years and three months.

CORTIS (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Gun-ho) released the track on April 20 as the title cut from their mini 2nd album GREENGREEN. It entered Melon's May monthly chart at No. 3, then climbed one spot in June. Only five boy groups in the past 10 years have reached No. 2 or higher on Melon's monthly chart. CORTIS is now one of them.

The daily chart run backs this up. REDRED hit No. 1 on Melon's daily chart for the first time on May 19, then stayed inside the top 3 every day through June 30—43 consecutive days. On YouTube Music Korea, the track held No. 1 on the weekly popular songs chart for two straight weeks (June 19–25 aggregation period).

Billboard figures as of the July 4 chart: No. 65 on Global 200, No. 35 on Global (excl. US), with nine consecutive weeks on both charts simultaneously. GREENGREEN sits at No. 94 on the Billboard 200, seven weeks and counting.

Their first solo tour, 2026 CORTIS TOUR , kicks off July 18–19 at Incheon Inspire Arena. Fourteen performances total. The run moves through Seoul, Toronto, New York, and Kanagawa in August–September. CORTIS also plays Lollapalooza Chicago on July 31–August 1 as the only K-pop boy group on this year's lineup.
