CORTIS's 'REDRED' has held the No. 1 spot on Apple Music's daily chart in Korea for 90 consecutive days, marking the second-longest reign since the chart began compilation.

The title track of CORTIS (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Geon-ho)'s mini 2nd album 'REDRED' achieved its 90th No. 1 on Apple Music's 'Today's Top 100: South Korea' on the 24th. This is an extraordinary achievement, having secured the top position since first claiming it on April 26 and holding it for 90 days.

BTS's mega-hit song 'Dynamite,' released in 2020, holds the record with 112 weeks at No. 1, while CORTIS follows closely, continuously breaking its own records day after day. A song by a boy group that debuted less than a year ago has dominated music charts—a key indicator of public popularity—for an extended period, earning recognition as a hit track.

'REDRED' also reached No. 80 on Spotify's 'Daily Top Songs: South Korea,' the global audio and music streaming platform, on the 22nd. Additionally, it has held the top spot for 12 consecutive weeks on 'Weeekly Top Songs: South Korea' (compilation period: July 10–16). It also remained on the 'Weeekly Top Songs: Global' chart for 12 weeks, the longest record among K-pop boy groups debuting within the past five years. On YouTube Music Korea's 'Weekly Popular Songs' (compilation period: July 10–16), it has secured the No. 1 position for five consecutive weeks.

Through this promotion, CORTIS sparked the 'Young-CKK Syndrome,' establishing itself as a global trendsetter. 'Young-CKK' is an abbreviation for 'Young Creator Crew,' referring to creators who jointly produce music, videos, and choreography. As the group's recognition soared vertically through raw, energetic music and performances, the term spread as a popular expression among young, individualistic generations.

The group will perform at the major U.S. music festival 'Lollapalooza Chicago' on July 31–August 1 (local time), becoming the only K-pop boy group to appear this year. They are also currently conducting their first tour, '2026 CORTIS TOUR "PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN".' Starting with Toronto, Canada, on August 4, they plan to visit six cities across North America, including New York and San Francisco in the U.S. On the 22nd–23, they will hold a one-year anniversary performance at Hwajeong Gymnasium, Seoul Korea University.
