Who CORTIS Are
CORTIS — Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, and Keonho — debuted under Big Hit Music and Republic Records in August 2025, becoming the third act signed to Big Hit after BTS and TXT. The group name is drawn from six letters across the phrase “Color Outside the Lines.” Members are actively involved in songwriting, choreography and visual direction as well.
Their debut EP COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES entered the Billboard 200 at number 15 in September 2025 — the second-highest charting debut by any K-pop act at that point — and recorded the highest first-week sales among 2025 rookie groups, according to Billboard. The group was also named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Asia 2026 list.

Their second EP GREENGREEN, released May 2026, debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, twelve places higher than their first entry. Its title track “REDRED” crossed 100 million Spotify streams in 57 days and just this week, reached 3 million in sales. The Put Your Phone Down world tour is sold out across its Incheon and North American legs, per the official press release. CORTIS became the first K-pop group to headline the NBA Crossover Concert Series’ Opening Night at NBA All-Star 2026, performed as the only K-pop boy group on the Lollapalooza 2026 lineup, and were confirmed as a performer at the Singapore Grand Prix in October.
The cinema event marks CORTIS’ first live broadcast to a global theatrical audience, arriving less than one year after their debut single launch. Trafalgar Releasing’s CEO Marc Allenby said the company was “breaking new ground” by simultaneously broadcasting to a live club audience alongside the standard cinema release, per the official press release.
