Idol group CORTIS is embarking on its full-scale North American tour with unstoppable momentum.

CORTIS (Martin James Ju-hoon Sung-hyun Geon-ho) will kick off '2026 CORTIS TOUR <PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN> IN NORTH AMERICA' on the 4th (local time) in Toronto, Canada. This marks a major expansion of the group's first tour, which opened last month in Incheon, to North America. Following their Toronto performance, they are scheduled to visit New York, Atlanta, Irving, Los Angeles, and San Francisco through the 16th, shaking up the entire continent with "raw energy."

This tour has sold out all 14 performances across nine cities in North America, as well as in South Korea and Japan, proving CORTIS's overwhelming ticket power. Additionally, following their recent performance at the major U.S. music festival 'Lollapalooza Chicago' on August 1st, where they led approximately 50,000 fans in a massive sing-along, anticipation for their solo shows continues to grow. True to the tour's title meaning "Put down your smartphones and play together," the event is expected to deliver an immersive experience that blurs the line between stage and audience.

Coinciding with the start of their North American tour, CORTIS is continuing a record-breaking run on local charts. According to Billboard's latest chart (dated August 8), CORTIS's second mini-album 'GREENGREEN' ranked at No. 114 on the Billboard 200, maintaining its position for 12 consecutive weeks since first entering the chart at No. 3 on May 23. As a result, CORTIS is consistently breaking its own record for the longest-charting K-pop boy group to debut within the past five years. On the sub-charts 'World Albums' and 'Top Album Sales,' the album secured positions at No. 2 and No. 8, respectively.

The streaming power of the title track 'REDRED' is also formidable. The song has remained on Billboard's Song charts 'Global 200' at No. 109 and 'Global (Excluding U.S.)' at No. 63 for 14 consecutive weeks. Aggregating these achievements, the latest 'Artist 100' chart placed them at No. 60. The track also appeared on Spotify's 'Daily Top Songs Global' chart dated July 30 for a continuous 100 days. On the 'Daily Top Songs Korea' chart, it achieved its 90th No. 1 position as of August 2.

Meanwhile, to celebrate their first anniversary since debut, CORTIS will hold '2026 CORTIS TOUR <PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN> BIRTHDAY PARTY' on the 22nd–23 at the Hwajeong Gymnasium of Seoul Korea University. They will then conclude the tour with performances from the 4th to 6 at the Pia Arena MM in Kanagawa, Japan. The group is also scheduled to appear at 'ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2026' in Chiba, Japan, on September 20, and the upcoming 'Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix' on October 9.
