CORTIS: Big Hit Music's first new boy group in 6 years logs 5 straight months in Melon top 3
CORTIS's debut single 'REDRED' has held Melon's monthly top 3 for five consecutive months; their first solo tour sold out 14 shows across 9 cities.
'REDRED' stays in Melon's top 3 for five months straight
CORTIS released REDRED in April. The debut single has placed in the top 3 on Melon's monthly chart for five consecutive months—a chart run from a group that only debuted this year.
CORTIS is the first boy group introduced by Big Hit Music in six years. The name stands for "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES," the idea of coloring beyond defined boundaries.
14 sold-out shows, 9 cities, one debut tour
The group's first solo tour, PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN, ran 14 performances across 9 cities in Asia and North America. Every date sold out.
At ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2026, the group drew attention beyond K-pop press. VOGUE JAPAN covered the Japan performance and highlighted the energy the members brought as they moved freely across the stage.
One fan comment on the festival performance video captured it: "It looks like they're dancing freely and casually, but when they put in power, they do it sharply, so the overall picture looks really good."
Five months on Melon's monthly chart and a sold-out debut tour. The tour name PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN was apparently not just a title.
