The most CORTIS (CORTIS)-like image was revealed.
The group CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, Geonho) released individual photos focusing solely on themselves as the third album photos ahead of their comeback. Following the previous two versions, these visuals carry a strong raw atmosphere and a new textured look.
On the 8th at 9 p.m., CORTIS released the mini album 2 "GREENGREEN" album photo "STUDIO" (studio) version on the team's official social media. Following "BRIDGE" (bridge) and "STREET" (street), which captured pre-debut daily life and memories of album work, this time they chose HYBE Yongsan headquarters, where they spent the most time since debut, as the shooting location. The photos were taken in a studio inside the headquarters.
Although the location changed, this album photo also captured CORTIS as they are. Natural styling inspired by the members' usual casual clothes draws attention. Rather than a glamorous K-pop artist on stage, it reflects youth that is sometimes playful and sometimes consumed by anguish. In front of a clean white background, the five members' unique charms are expressed most honestly and plainly.
The subjects are only CORTIS and the lighting is focused on them. In particular, the extreme contrast of light and shadow and the deliberately unfocused, rough shooting techniques meet CORTIS's individuality and unleash intense energy. The different poses in the group photo also amplify the five members' unadorned charms. Various personalities are captured in one frame: a model-like pose with one elbow raised boldly, staring blankly into space, or a coy expression.
Every time a new version of the album photos is released, CORTIS leaves a review-style comment for one member at the coordinates of the main shooting locations on the map service Google Maps. On the 8th, Juhun wrote in the HYBE Yongsan headquarters review, "The white Horizon studio where we took the photos is a place we often go to when something needs to be shot inside the company. We also filmed the debut album choreography practice video here. It was the first time we danced choreography somewhere other than the practice room." He added, "For this album photo, we shot naturally to preserve the studio's minimal feeling, and the members all seem satisfied."
CORTIS will release mini album 2 "GREENGREEN" and make a comeback on the 4th of next month. Ahead of that, they will release the title track "REDRED" audio and music video on the 20th and begin activities.
