Cortis Premieres Raw ‘RedRed’ Ahead of May EP as Preorders Top 2 Million

The rookie group stakes its identity on member-led production with an unpolished sound.

Overview

  • Cortis, which unveiled the lead single “RedRed” at a Seoul showcase on Monday, set May 4 for the full release of its second EP “GreenGreen.”
  • BigHit Music said physical preorders for the EP have passed two million copies, signaling strong demand before release.
  • All five members received songwriting and composition credits across the six tracks, positioning the act as a self-directed creative team.
  • The new material pursues “intentional rawness” that rejects fixed genre rules, with a minimally styled video filmed in everyday Seoul spots like old streets and local eateries.
  • The rollout follows a record 2025 debut that cleared two million sales and a growing U.S. profile from the NBA Crossover concert, with a Lollapalooza Chicago set planned for this summer.
