CORTIS, the idol group consisting of Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, and Geon-ho, has seen its mini 2nd album title track 'REDRED' join the ranks of songs with over 100 million streams.

'REDRED' surpassed 100 million cumulative plays on Spotify as of the 16th. This achievement came just 57 days after the song's release on April 20. It is the fastest any boy group that debuted within the last five years has reached 100 million streams.

CORTIS now holds its third song to surpass 100 million streams, less than a year after debut. Previously, the mini 1st album tracks 'GO!' and 'FaSHioN' both crossed the 100th million cumulative play mark in January. Notably, 'REDRED' cut the time to reach 100 million streams in half compared to 'GO!', which took 116 days, setting a new internal record.

'REDRED' topped the daily and weekly charts on major music platforms including Melon, Bugs, and Spotify Korea. It is the only boy group to have come back this year to claim the number one spot on the Melon weekly chart (collection period: May 18–31). Additionally, it is the first boy group to debut within the last five years to enter both the Spotify Global Daily and Weekly charts, maintaining a presence on the charts for about two months. It recorded its own highest rankings at 36th on 'Daily Top Songs Global' (as of May 4) and 61st on 'Weekly Top Songs Global' (collection period: May 1–7).

Notably, this song has been sung loudly in unison at various venues, including university festivals and street cheering events at Gwanghwamun Plaza for the '2026 FIFA North, Central America and Caribbean World Cup.' Its repetitive and catchy rhythm, along with a sound of new texture, has captured the public's attention. The five members interpreted 'RED' as what they guard against and 'GREEN' as what they aspire to, leading a challenge trend with the intuitive 'Palrang-gwi Dance' (Fluttering Ear Dance) that expresses the lyrics. The term 'Young Creator Crew,' used to describe them, has recently evolved into the slang 'Young-keu-keu' and is now used to represent a hip and individualistic generation. The U.S. business magazine Forbes has selected CORTIS as one of the '30 Under 30 Asia'—the 30th most influential people under 30 in Asia for 2026.

The intense interest in the group is translating into ticket power. All nine performances of their first solo tour, '2026 CORTIS TOUR <PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN>', held in Incheon and North America, sold out early during the membership presale stage. They are scheduled to perform 14 times across nine cities from July to September.
