The group CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, Keonho) organized the “GREENGREEN Release Party” to celebrate the release of its 2nd mini-album and presented performances of all the new songs.
CORTIS took to a 360-degree stage during the “GREENGREEN Release Party” held on May 4 at 8 p.m. at S-Factory D in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, performing 6 tracks for approximately 80 minutes in communion with the audience. The show was broadcast live via Weverse and the official HYBE LABELS YouTube channel, and fans from a total of 200 countries and regions participated in real-time.
The show began with “Tnt”. Intense sounds and dynamic choreographies followed one after another, and sing-alongs rang out for the title track “Redred” as well as “Acai” and “Youngcreatorcrew”. The members encouraged participation by shouting, “Please jump with us” and “Put down your phones and raise your hands.” They then conveyed their resolutions regarding their emotions and dreams since their debut through performances of “Wassup” and “Blue lips”.
he members also revealed behind-the-scenes secrets. Regarding “Tnt”, they stated: “Since it is a very dynamic choreography, our whole bodies hurt when we first tried it. Every time we practiced this dance, it was so hot that we had to take off our tops.” Concerning “Acai”, they explained:
“We were eating açaí bowls every day while working on music at a song camp in the United States. It’s a song born from using our daily life as a subject. It seems humorous, but there is a deeper meaning. We put in the ambition to become people with principles, like the base of an açaí bowl which is delicious even without toppings.”
In response to encore requests, they performed “Redred” and “Tnt” three times each. CORTIS shared: “This is an album we created while thinking about the stage, and we were waiting for this moment. Doing the show for real was even better than we thought. We hope you enjoy the freedom of your whole body in this precise moment. With the energy received today, we will ardently continue our remaining activities.”
Furthermore, CORTIS will release a conceptual performance film on May 5 at 9 p.m. allowing a detailed look at the choreography for “Tnt”. They will also appear successively on radio and music shows. They announced their participation on the 5th in MBC FM4U’s “Kim Shin-young’s Hope Song at Noon”, on the 6th in KBS Cool FM’s “Lee Eun-ji’s Music Plaza”, and on the 7th in SBS Power FM’s “Wendy’s Young Street”. They will present their performances on the 8th on KBS 2TV’s “Music Bank”, on the 9th on MBC’s “Show! Music Core”, and on the 10th on SBS’s “Inkigayo”. On May 14, they will take the stage at the Hongik University festival.
