CORTIS TO RELEASE SECOND EP GREENGREEN ON MAY 4, WITH LEAD SINGLE DROPPING APRIL 20

CORTIS (코르티스) (MARTIN, JAMES, JUHOON, SEONGHYEON, and KEONHO) will unveil a lead single on April 20, offering fans an early glimpse into their new music and the evolving sound of their upcoming project.

The boundary-pushing originals announced their comeback today via the global fandom platform Weverse. The lead single will precede the group’s six-track 2nd EP GREENGREEN, set to arrive on May 4 and marking the next creative chapter following their breakout debut last August. One of the EP’s tracks, “YOUNGCREATORCREW,” was previously teased with a surprise live performance during the NBA Crossover Concert Series in February, giving fans a first listen ahead of its official release.

GREENGREEN follows CORTIS’s 1st EP COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES, released in September 2025, which debuted at No. 15 on the Billboard 200, marking one of the year’s standout rookie debuts. Known for their hands-on creative approach across music, choreography, and visual production, the quintet quickly drew attention for their distinctive artistic voice.

Earlier this year, CORTIS was named “Friends of the NBA” and headlined the Opening Night of the NBA Crossover Concert Series during NBA All-Star 2026, becoming the first K-pop act to lead the event. They also performed the following day at the NBA All-Star Game halftime show, bringing their signature high-energy performance to one of basketball’s biggest global stages.

CORTIS’s 2nd EP GREENGREEN will be available worldwide across all major streaming platforms on May 4 at 6 PM KST.

About CORTIS

Their 1st EP COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES, released worldwide on September 8, 2025, landed at No. 15 on the Billboard 200, highlighting their rapid rise as one of the most talked-about new acts of the year. Earlier this year, CORTIS headlined the Opening Night of the NBA Crossover Concert Series during NBA All-Star 2026, becoming the first K-pop act to lead the event. The name CORTIS is an unconventional mix of six letters drawn from the phrase “COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES,” reflecting their determination to think beyond the boundaries defined by the world. True to this ethos, the group has established itself as boundary-pushing originals creating on their own terms.
