CORTIS (CORTIS, Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Geon-ho)'s "REDRED" continues to secure a spot in the top 3 of Melon's monthly chart for four consecutive months.

The title track from CORTIS' second mini album, "REDRED," landed at No. 3 on Melon's August comprehensive monthly chart released on the 1st. Starting at No. 3 in May, followed by No. 2 in June and No. 3 in July, the song has maintained a top-3 position for four months straight. The Melon monthly chart ranks songs based on total streaming and download usage over each month. It excludes duplicate user counts, making it a key indicator of public popularity.

"REDRED" achieved the highest ranking among K-pop boy groups for both last year and this year so far, reaching No. 2 on the chart. Additionally, it is the longest-running boy group song to remain in the top 3 since BTS's "Dynamite" in 2020. Even expanding the timeframe to the past decade, only BTS and CORTIS have kept a single track within the top 3 for four consecutive months.

Released on April 20, the song has received widespread acclaim for its unique sound texture, distinctive lyrics, and memorable performances. CORTIS has earned recognition as "Young Creator Crew," a group that collaboratively creates music, choreography, and visuals. The abbreviation "YCC" (Young Creator Crew) has become a popular term representing young, adventurous generations. The track is also topping Spotify's "Weeekly Top Song Korea" for 18 consecutive weeks (collection period: August 21–27).

Meanwhile, CORTIS will hold their "2026 CORTIS TOUR 'PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN' IN JAPAN" at Kanagawa Phia Arena MM in Japan from the 4th to 6. Recently, marking their first anniversary since debut, the group has continued active promotions by releasing an expanded version of their second mini album titled "GREENGREEN_playextended," which includes two new tracks: "PACK IT UP" and "MONEYMONEYMONEY."
