CORTIS Announces Comeback with “Greengreen”
CORTIS, the rising boy group under BIGHIT MUSIC, is poised to make an exciting return on May 4 with their highly anticipated second mini-album titled “Greengreen.” This comeback follows the pre-release of the lead single, set for April 20 at 6 p.m. KST.
On March 6, the group officially shared details about the release through their fan platform, Weverse, encouraging fans to mark their calendars for this significant event. The digital launch of the title track will take place two weeks earlier, allowing fans to experience a taste of what’s to come.
First Release Since Debut Album
This marks CORTIS’s first new music in approximately eight months following the release of their debut mini-album “Color Outside The Lines.” Known interchangeably in announcements as “Greengreen” or “GREENGREEN, ” the upcoming EP signifies a critical milestone in the group’s career, as noted by Allkpop.
Building Anticipation with Strategic Releases
The title track from “Greengreen” will be pre-released as a digital single, designed to generate excitement ahead of the official album drop. This pre-release strategy is aimed at “igniting”the anticipation among fans, as highlighted by industry insiders.
Additionally, the EP is expected to feature a track named “YOUNGCREATORCREW, ” which was first showcased during CORTIS’s performance at the “NBA Crossover Concert Series” and within the “Hancom Taja Sanseongbi” game. Clips of this song, along with its choreography, have already inspired thousands of TikTok videos, reflecting the enthusiastic engagement from fans, as reported by Chosun.
A Promising Debut and Future Prospects
Formed by members Martin, James, Joo-hoon, Seong-hyun, and Geon-ho, CORTIS has already made waves with their debut mini-album, “Color Outside The Lines, ” which reached an impressive No.15 on the Billboard 200—representing the highest ranking for a debut album by a non-project K-pop group. The album’s sales have surpassed 2 million copies, according to the Circle chart, highlighting the rapid growth of this rookie group.
Hits like “GO!”, “What You Want”, and “FaSHioN” have catapulted CORTIS to over 400 million cumulative streams on Spotify within just five months post-release. With “Greengreen, ” analysts predict an even greater global influence for the group as they look towards 2026, according to the Korea Herald.
