The popularity of boy group CORTIS continues to soar without end.

CORTIS's (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Geon-ho) mini album No. 2 title track 'REDRED' claimed the No. 1 spot on Apple Music's "Today's Top 100: South Korea" for the 73rd time on the 7th.

Since first reaching the top on April 26, it has held the position for 73 consecutive days. Among Korean songs released this year, it has remained at No. 1 for the longest duration, reigning as the biggest hit. Furthermore, it is currently the third-longest record among all songs that have reached the summit of this chart. It is remarkable that a group less than a year into their debut has achieved one of the top three historical performances, following in the footsteps of established senior artists.

As of last month's 16th, 'REDRED' reached 100 million streams on Spotify, the global audio and music streaming platform. This milestone was achieved just 57 days after its release—the fastest among K-pop boy group songs debuted within the past five years. Additionally, the track has remained on Billboard for 10 consecutive weeks. In the latest chart released on the 7th (dated July 11), it climbed two and three positions respectively to reach No. 63 on "Global 200" and No. 32 on "Global (excluding U.S.)". On the detailed "Hot Dance/Pop Songs" chart, it maintained the same position as Jeonju at No. 11.

The impact of the mini album 'GREENGREEN', which includes the track, is also intense. It secured the No. 97 spot on Billboard's main album chart, "Billboard 200," marking its eighth consecutive week in the rankings. This already surpassed the previous record of five weeks achieved with their debut mini album. Moreover, it continues to set new records weekly for the longest-charting single album by a K-pop boy group debuting within the past five years. Particularly significant is that the music, visuals, and choreography were all co-created by the five members, captivating audiences.

CORTIS will begin their '2026 CORTIS TOUR <PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN>' on the 17th and 18th at Incheon Inspire Arena.
