Boy group CORTIS showcased live performance skills that were far beyond those of a rookie.

CORTIS (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Geon-ho) appeared on MBC FM4U's "Noon Hope Song with Kim Shin-young" on the 5th to introduce their mini 2nd album "GREENGREEN," which was released the previous day.

The members, embarking on their first radio outing since the comeback, explained about the album: "What we guard against and avoid is 'RED,' while what we have done and wish to continue doing is expressed as 'GREEN.' We included songs that reflect our daily lives and worked while imagining the stage." When DJ Kim Shin-young mentioned that the album achieved a million-seller status on its release day, they replied, "We just heard about it for the first time. It is an honor, and we are grateful," unable to hide their happiness.

CORTIS stated, "We were very confident in the song," and also explained why they released the title track "REDRED" ahead of the album. They further shared behind-the-scenes details of their work process: "We created the beat first, and then the idea for 'RED' came out. We revised the melody about 300 times." Additionally, the team used the song's message, which draws a parallel to what they guard against, to share a wide range of everyday stories.

They also spoke about the congratulatory lunch performance for the athletes of the "25th Milan Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics" held at Cheong Wa Dae in March. At the time, it became a hot topic when gold medalists Choi Ga-on and Kim Gil-ri revealed that they are fans of CORTIS. The members recalled, "The athletes told us they listen to our music and train hard, and we were grateful. Everyone enjoyed it very much."

CORTIS performed "REDRED" live on "Noon Hope Song with Kim Shin-young." The members enjoyed the song while freely moving to the rhythm in front of a stand microphone, and their flawless vocals drew a flood of praise from listeners.

CORTIS released their mini 2nd album "GREENGREEN" on the 4th and is actively promoting. They are scheduled to appear on KBS Cool FM's "Lee Eun-ji's Gayo Plaza" on the 6th and SBS Power FM's "Wendy's Young Street" on the 7th. They will also appear on web variety shows such as "Limousine Service" on the KBS Kpop YouTube channel and "Workdol" on the Studio Rollala "Workman" channel. Their performances can be seen on KBS 2TV's "Music Bank" on the 8th, MBC's "Show! Music Core" on the 9th, and SBS's "Inkigayo" on the 10th.

According to Hanteo Chart, a music sales aggregation site, "GREENGREEN" sold a total of 1,196,961 copies on its release day, securing a spot among million-sellers. This achievement nearly tripled the initial sales (one week after release) of their previous mini 1st album, which stood at 436,367 copies, in just one day.
