[Sportschosun reporter Jeong Bit] Group CORTIS has added another music video with 10 million views through a track from its second mini album.
As of 1:20 p.m. on the 26th, the music video for CORTIS' second mini album track "TNT" had surpassed 10 million views on YouTube. It reached the milestone 52 days after its release on the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel on May 4. As a result, three of the four music videos released from the mini album have now topped 10 million views.
Earlier, the music videos for the title track "REDRED" and the album track "ACAI" also surpassed 10 million views on YouTube. In particular, "REDRED" hit the mark just 12 days after release, showing growth more than twice as fast as the debut album tracks "GO!" and "Fashion," which reached the same milestone in 27 days and 29 days, respectively. As of 1 p.m. on the 26th, the "REDRED" music video had recorded about 42.8 million views.
The "TNT" music video is a work in which the five members, as a "young creator crew," infused their own imagination and sincerity. It visualizes their intense, explosive energy as they race through crowds to escape an imminent blast. Major ideas from the animatic, a storyboard video the members produced themselves before filming, were also reflected in the final music video. Based on this active participation, CORTIS was credited as a co-director on the video.
The success of the second mini album "GREENGREEN" is also continuing. On the 18th, 45 days after its release, the album surpassed 200 million cumulative streams on Spotify.
It also ranked No. 61 on the Billboard main album chart, the Billboard 200, for the week of June 27, marking six consecutive weeks on the chart. That is the longest chart run among boy groups that debuted within the past five years.
CORTIS will continue its global activities in the second half of the year. On October 9 local time, the group will hold a solo performance on the main stage of the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix 2026 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore. Before that, it will launch its first solo tour, "2026 CORTIS TOUR <PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN>", from July to September in South Korea, North America and Japan. The group will also take the stage at the U.S. music festival Lollapalooza Chicago from July 31 to August 1.
