Boy group Cortis (CORTIS) brought a raw, gritty sense of the scene to life alongside hundreds of fans.

Cortis (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Geon-ho) posted the conceptual performance film for the mini 2nd album track 'TNT' on the HYBE Labels YouTube channel at 9 p.m. on the 5th.

In the main music video released the day before, the five members ran and ran, chased by hundreds of people. In this video, they perform the choreography for 'TNT' inside a tunnel they reached while fleeing. The conceptual performance film begins at the final point of the music video, delivering a continuous sense of immersion.

Not a single ray of light enters the space used as the stage. The dark black-and-white visuals and the endless tunnel maximize the tension built up in the music video. Cortis's group dance bursts with dynamic energy through the rough-textured visuals. The members advance toward the camera, overwhelming the frame. The camera's shaking, which conveys the trembling of their hands, and the angles that boldly rotate up and down or by 180 degrees blend with the raw feel of the song.

The climax of the video is the moment they mix with the crowd. Just when it seemed only the members were in the tunnel, a massive number of people suddenly appear and go wild together to the song. Under the rapidly flashing lights, everyone jumps and plays together, enjoying themselves in a state of trance.

The memorable key moves are also highlights to enjoy. Gestures that directly express the lyrics "nod your head" and "Pumpin up" add intuitive charm. Amidst high-difficulty moves using the whole body, the well-timed arrangement of easy-to-follow dance steps throughout shines. The members also participated in creating the choreography for this song, earning credit as co-choreographers. It remains to be seen if they will spark another short-form challenge frenzy following the mini 2nd album title track 'REDRED' and debut album tracks 'GO!' and 'FaSHioN'.

'TNT' is a song that expresses the group's scorching passion and confidence in their music. The title was taken from the name of an explosive chemical substance. The catchy melody unfolding over intense guitar riffs and heavy bass is impressive. Lyrics such as "Five immature boys in the corner of the room, every night / In front of the studio computer, awakened DNA" reveal their passion for music and the stage. The members added authenticity by participating not only in choreography and the music video but also in the music production.

Cortis is emerging as a powerhouse in performance. On the 4th, they held a 'GREENGREEN Release Party' at Seoul Esfactory, D, delivering live performances of all six tracks from their mini 2nd album. They were broadcast live together via the global superfan platform Weverse in 200 countries and regions. The five members will appear on KBS 2TV 'Music Bank' on the 8th, MBC 'Show! Music Core' on the 9th, and SBS 'Inkigayo' on the 10th. They will also take the stage at Dankook University's Jukjeon Campus on the 13th and Hongik University's Seoul Campus on the 14th.
