Idol group CORTIS is set to take the stage at Formula 1 (F1), following their appearances at the National Basketball Association (NBA) and Red Bull events.

CORTIS (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Seong-hyeon, Geon-ho) will perform for approximately 50 minutes at the "Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix 2026" held on the 9th (all times local) at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore. Last year, cumulative attendance across all F1 Grands Prix worldwide reached approximately 6.7 million. Among them, the "F1 Singapore Grand Prix" is regarded as Asia's largest motorsport and entertainment event, combining an urban night race with large-scale performances.

On the 8th, CORTIS shared their high expectations through their agency, Big Hit Music, stating, "This is our first visit to Singapore, and we are thrilled to showcase CORTIS's music and performance at a major festival where viewers from around the world gather." They added, "We will unleash explosive energy befitting the intense heat of F1 without holding back."

CORTIS will perform on the "Padang Stage," an outdoor stage with a capacity for over 60,000 spectators. The lineup features global pop stars including Singaporean singer JJ Lin, Janet Jackson, Lana Del Rey, and Zara Larsson. CORTIS is the only K-pop group among this year's performers.

CORTIS appeared at the halftime show of the NBA "All-Star Celebrity Game" in February and performed as a headliner at the "Crossover Concert Series." Additionally, in June, they staged a performance for the dance battle "Red Bull Dance Your Style Korea," based on their global partnership with the energy drink brand Red Bull.

These moves are underpinned by CORTIS's unique team identity and performance competitiveness. The youthful, distinctive sensibility and dynamism of the group, which positions itself as a "young creator crew," naturally blend with the energy of sports events. Coupled with their solid live capabilities that fill large arenas and the support of their fanbase, COER, they have become an irreplaceable box-office draw.

CORTIS is firmly established as a mainstream act, dominating domestic and international charts this year. Their second mini-album, "GREENGREEN," released in May last month, has surpassed 4.3 million cumulative sales (as of Circle Chart data through September 26). The title track, "REDRED," has secured the No. 1 spot on major domestic music platforms including YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and Melon. It also holds the No. 122 position on Billboard's latest "Global (Excl. US)" chart (dated October 10), marking its 23rd consecutive week on the list.
