CORTIS Unveils New Songs for the First Time

Boy group CORTIS unveiled new songs for the first time during a solo concert held to celebrate their first anniversary.

CORTIS, composed of Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, and Keonho, hosted the “2026 CORTIS TOUR <PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN> BIRTHDAY PARTY” at the Hwajeong Gymnasium of Korea University in Seoul on the 22nd and 23rd. This event marked the Seoul leg of their first tour, which will span a total of 9 cities, and served as a celebration for their first anniversary. The concert was streamed live to 71 countries and regions via Weverse, their global fan platform.

The group opened the show with the title track from their first mini-album, “What You Want,” reenacting the treadmill choreography they performed at their debut. They then took turns performing major songs released over the past year, including “REDRED,” “YOUNGCREATORCREW,” “GO!,” and “JoyRide.”

Notably, they debuted for the first time two new songs included in the extended version of their second mini-album, “GREENGREEN_playextended,” released on the 24th. These tracks were “PACK IT UP,” inspired by a freestyle session while packing for their overseas tour, and the hip-hop song “MONEYMONEYMONEY,” which candidly explores young people’s materialistic values and their experience attending Paris Fashion Week. Both songs received enthusiastic responses from the audience.

After the concert, CORTIS said, “We were incredibly happy to return to the place where we held our first release party to celebrate our birthdays together with you all. It was fun and grateful to feel connected to you. Let’s keep going together for our second and third anniversaries as well.” They also added, “We were deeply moved to see the songs we created together in the studio echoing through such a large venue, with so many people singing along.”
