The group CORTIS captivated the Singaporean night with a performance as thrilling as a Formula One race.

CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhun, Seonghyeon, Geonho) performed on the main stage of the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore on the 9th (local time) for the "Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix 2026." The F1 Singapore Grand Prix is Asia's largest motorsport and entertainment event, combining an urban night race with large-scale entertainment. As the only K-pop artist among this year's lineup, CORTIS took the stage at the "PADANG STAGE," solidifying their status as a global trendsetter.

An estimated 60,000 people gathered in the audience, according to organizers. Reflecting CORTIS's unparalleled popularity, the area around the venue was bustling with "COERs" (the fandom name) holding official light sticks and merchandise from early morning. Despite the hot weather, fans filled all standing seats, cheering loudly by chanting the team name and members' names.

The five members unleashed explosive energy by performing a total of 15 songs non-stop over 50 minutes. Starting with "TNT," the setlist continued with "FaSHioN" and "REDRED," followed by "GO!" and "MOTION (feat. Juicy J)," instantly heating up the atmosphere. The audience responded with loud group singing and cheering chants, jumping and dancing along. During the "YOUNGCREATORCREW" segment, the members went down from the stage to interact more closely with the fans. Visiting Singapore for the first time since their debut, they said, "Thank you so much for having so many COERs with us. It is truly a beautiful city," and chanted "Thank you lah" in local-style English.

Their vintage styling incorporating an F1 theme also drew attention. Going beyond simply recreating racing outfits, the look conveyed respect for motorsport culture. They wore logo T-shirts of Ailton Senna (Ayrton Senna), a driver representing 20th-century F1, to incorporate the meaning of homage, and sensibly reformed checkered-pattern T-shirts, a symbol of racing, to add CORTIS's unique style.

The members visited the paddock (an area exclusive to drivers and officials) of the F1 Singapore Grand Prix on the 9th at the invitation of Red Bull, with whom they have continued a global partnership. In particular, during a tour of the "Oracle Red Bull Racing" team's garage, they met and exchanged greetings with famous Red Bull-affiliated F1 driver Max Verstappen. Their verification photos posted on the official social media accounts of F1 and Red Bull Racing sparked buzz, surpassing 1 million "likes" approximately two hours after being published.

Meanwhile, "CORTIS POP-UP in SINGAPORE" is being held at Plaza Singapura in downtown Singapore from the 2nd to the 25th. A large installation of "CORTIS Ball," a bouncy doll made using the team's official logo, captures attention. Additionally, fans are continuing to visit as they can purchase the mini second album "GREENGREEN" and various official merchandise.
