Boy group CORTIS (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Geon-ho) unveils their new song 'TNT'.

On the 4th at 6 p.m., CORTIS uploaded the music video for 'TNT', a track from their 2nd mini album 'GREENGREEN', to the HYBE Labels YouTube channel. At the same time, the album's digital singles were also released.

All five members participated in the planning and direction of the 'TNT' music video and are credited as co-directors.

'TNT' is a song that condenses CORTIS's intense passion. The combination of a catchy melody and rough sound is appealing. The lyrics depict moments when the members unleash their potential in the studio and practice room. "In the corner of the room, five immature boys every night / In front of the studio computer, DNA awakens," and "All night, improvisation / Dancing, possessed" reveal their sincerity toward music.

The music video creates a sense of urgency by showing the members being chased by a large crowd. The theme of this video originated from the members' own ideas. Before planning the main music video, CORTIS created an animatic (storyboard video) by utilizing footage they filmed themselves, as well as publicly available sources from existing films and videos. Many of the intended angles, compositions, and settings were incorporated into the main music video.

The five members run and run again. After walking through an alley and encountering residents, they suddenly sprint at full speed to escape a suddenly swelling crowd. To express the overwhelming pressure of the surging crowd, over 500 extras were mobilized. The tense feeling of being about to be caught adds excitement, keeping viewers on edge throughout. Laughing points placed throughout the scenes add to the entertainment. A popcorn machine bursts open in sync with the lyrics "Mark the spot and boom! (What you mean?)" and a storefront named 'Dongmyo Outlet', reflecting the members' vintage taste, appears.

The raw feel that permeates the 2nd mini album is also conveyed intuitively. The rough texture, dynamic shaking, and urgency captured with KAMCO are directly transmitted through the screen. Behind the unrealistic scene of suddenly hundreds of people sprinting, extremely Korean and realistic backgrounds such as multi-family housing complexes, neighborhood shops, and school playgrounds unfold, adding a sense of dissonance.
