• 'REDRED' Achieves Most #1s Ever for a K-Pop Group on Korean Spotify — 70th Time at the Top

The group CORTIS (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Geon-ho) recorded their 70th #1 on Spotify's "Daily Top Songs: Korea" chart for the week of the 12th with their mini-album title track "REDRED." This marks the most #1s ever achieved by a single K-pop group song on the daily Korean Spotify chart. A new record was set by CORTIS after three years and four months.

"REDRED" first reached #1 on the April 27 chart and hit its 50th #1 on the the 20th chart, achieving the most #1s ever for a boy group. It continued to hold the top spot, spending 11 consecutive weeks at #1 on "Weeekly Top Songs: Korea" from July 3 to the 9th based on the weekly aggregation period — the longest run by any K-pop group song on that chart. CORTIS's monthly Spotify listeners stand at 12.67 million, placing them in the top three among Korean boy groups.

CORTIS's popularity is also reflected in the spread of "Young Creator Crew," abbreviated as "YCC," a term derived from their official team moniker. "YCC" is a trendy expression referring to young, individualistic generations. The group's sound and lyrics, co-created by all five members, were featured in "REDRED" and the mini-album track "YOUNGCREATORCREW," both of which went viral as challenges on global short-form video platforms.

CORTIS will also embark on their first solo tour, "2026 CORTIS TOUR <PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN>." Starting with two shows at Incheon Inspire Arena on the 18th and 19, the tour is scheduled to include a total of 14 performances across Seoul, Toronto (Canada), New York (USA), and Kanagawa (Japan) from August to September. All tickets for the Incheon and North American dates sold out during the pre-sale phase.

Additionally, CORTIS will perform a solo stage at the major U.S. music festival "Lollapalooza Chicago" from July 31 to August 1 (local time). This year, CORTIS is the only K-pop boy group to secure a solo slot at this festival.
