The group CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, Keonho) comes out today.
CORTIS unveils today at 6 p.m. KST the sound and music video of “Redred”, the title song of its 2nd mini-album. By first presenting the title song of its new album “GREENGREEN“, which will be officially released on May 4, the group begins its comeback activities in full force.
“Redred” is a song that compares the direction pursued by the team to “GREEN” and what it avoids to “RED”. The subject of the song, born from the members’ ideas, and the lyrics full of personality are attractive points. The sound is also fresh. Raw electronic sounds, a repetitive and catchy rhythm, as well as an addictive melody capture the ear. A vivid and raw texture, which cannot be defined by a specific genre, stands out.
After its first album, CORTIS once again clearly manifests its aspect of “Young creator crew” by co-creating all contents such as music, video, and choreography. All members have entered their names in the credits of “Redred”. They worked on their 2nd mini-album by organizing a writing camp in Los Angeles, United States. In addition to writing and composition, they contributed their opinions one by one for the production of the music video, performance, and album photos, thus adding sincerity. This is why “Redred” is a song that is akin to the starting point of a journey exploring the tastes and direction of CORTIS.
After being described as “Best rookies” following their debut last August, eyes are turned toward their comeback. The 1st mini-album “COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES” recorded the highest sales for a debut album in K-pop history, with cumulative sales of 2,069,663 copies according to the Circle chart as of April 4. The trend of pre-orders for the new album also aims for the title of “Double million seller”. According to distributors YG PLUS and UNIVERSAL RECORDS, the volume of pre-orders for the 2nd mini-album reached 2,024,836 copies as of April 16.
Furthermore, CORTIS will organize the “REDRED Release Party” on April 20 at 8 p.m. at YES24 LIVE HALL in Seoul to unveil the performance of its new song for the first time. The release party will be held once again on May 4, the day of the album release. Apart from this, they will conduct intense activities, including appearances in musical shows.
