Group CORTIS will celebrate their first anniversary with fans with a Seoul performance.
CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, Geonho) will hold the 2026 CORTIS TOUR 'PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN' birthday party at Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul from today (22) to the 23rd.
The five members said through their agency BigHit Music, "since it's our 1st anniversary birthday party, we want to give COER (the fandom name) a fun time," and added, "we will give our all on stage with 300% passion. We hope everyone runs and plays so there are no regrets."
They added, "we will try to create a performance that makes you think, 'ah, I want to go back to that moment,' after everything is over," expressing their determination ahead of their first anniversary performance.
This concert proved its strong early interest by selling out all seats during the membership presale stage. In particular, Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium, where the concert will be held, has special meaning for CORTIS and their fans because it was the place where they first met fans during last September's debut album release party.
The fact that they are holding a solo concert a year after meeting fans for the first time at the debut location makes it especially meaningful. For fans around the world who cannot attend in person, an online live stream will also be provided through the global superfan platform Weverse.
CORTIS has built its presence on the global stage after successfully completing tours in Incheon and North America. PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN is underway across nine cities with 14 performances, and each show continues to generate buzz by creating strong emotional connections and singalongs with audiences.
The dedicated app that enhances tour immersion, PYPD, is also attracting attention. After checking in at the venue, it senses movement and quantifies it, showing by city how enthusiastically audiences enjoyed the performance.
They have also maintained steady popularity on music charts. CORTIS's mini album 2 title track REDRED ranked No. 1 for 17 consecutive weeks on Spotify's Weekly Top Songs Korea (tracking period: Aug. 14–20).
In particular, among K-pop group songs that have appeared on that chart, they continue to renew the longest-running No. 1 record week after week. On the Weekly Top Songs Global chart, they reached No. 194, marking 17 consecutive weeks on the chart.
