Group Cortis (CORTIS) released the 'ACAI' music video, which captures their honest tastes and sensibilities, captivating fans worldwide.

'ACAI' is a track from Cortis (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Geon-ho)'s second mini-album, released on May 4. The song is inspired by acai bowls, the group's favorite food that the five members ate every day while working on their new album.

"Gulp gulp, pull pull," "I like you a lot, uh uh Acai" — the seemingly playful lyrics conceal the ambition to become an artist with solid foundations, just like an acai bowl that tastes delicious even without fancy toppings. All members participated in writing and composing the song, with Martin and Sung-hyun credited as producers.

The music video, released on May 11 at 9 p.m. on the HYBE Labels YouTube channel, was produced based on an animatic (storyboard video) created by Cortis. The video is filled with creative settings and vivid facial expressions. They made a surprise appearance of donkeys, which frequently appear in the lyrics just as often as acai. This idea originated from the catchy lyrics: "Like a donkey, donkey / Around the world, east, west, south, north / As you go around, suddenly it rings / An alarm in your belly."

In addition, animatic elements created by the members were reflected throughout the music video. Scenes of the members crossing a desert with donkeys, a hospital in chaos, a farm and stable, a golf course, a giant snail, and a rooster are wittily blended. Different times and spaces are connected using acai berries as a focal point. The members' natural expressions provide the narrative. Their humorous acting lends plausibility to unrealistic situations, enhancing the video's immersion.

On May 12 at 9 p.m., a conceptual performance film focusing on the choreography of 'ACAI' will be released.

Meanwhile, the title track 'REDRED' continues to rise, reaching fourth place on Melon's daily chart on the 10th, up two spots from the previous day. On Melon and Bugs' latest weekly charts (collection period: May 4–10), the song secured ninth place, up 55 spots from Jeonju, and third place, up 13 spots, respectively. On Spotify's "Daily Top Songs Global" chart on the 10th, it maintained its position at 71st for 19 consecutive days.

On "Weeekly Top Songs Global" (collection period: the 1st–7), it ranked 61st for two consecutive weeks. The second mini-album 'GREENGREEN' recorded first-week sales of 2,313,291 copies based on Hanteo Chart standards. This sales volume, more than five times higher than their previous work, demonstrated Cortis's remarkable growth.
