CORTIS has secured the top three spots on Spotify for songs by boy groups debuting in the last five years. Their hit song, "REDRED," is now approaching 300 million streams, confirming the group's growing popularity on the global stage.
According to Spotify data as of Saturday, November 7, 2026, “REDRED,” the title track from CORTIS’ second EP, has surpassed 274 million streams. This figure is the highest among songs from boy groups that debuted during that time.
According to Big Hit Music, the song continues to record over 800,000 daily streams, putting it on track to surpass 300 million streams before the end of the year.
According to the Korean Times, two other songs from the group, “GO!” and “FaSHioN,” from their debut album, ranked second and third with approximately 266 million and 247 million streams , respectively.
According to the agency, “REDRED” reached 100 million streams in just 57 days and 200 million streams in 128 days, twice as fast as the other two songs.
The song has also topped Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Korea chart 121 times, setting a record for a song by a K-pop group, according to Big Hit Music.
On Apple Music's Top 100: Korea chart, the song spent 96 days at number one, the longest run among songs released this year, while also maintaining its position in the top three of Melon's monthly chart for five consecutive months.
The group also topped KBS2's "Music Bank" again in the first week of October 2026, bringing their total music show wins with the song to 12.
The five members contributed together to the music, choreography, and video production of the song, solidifying their identity as a creative team directing their own work.
Their second EP also featured the term “YOUNGCREATORCREW,” which was later shortened and spread widely as slang associated with a trend-conscious younger generation, sparking what their agency called “Young Creator Crew syndrome.”
CORTIS is scheduled to perform at several year-end music events, including the 18th Melon Music Awards on November 15, 2026 at Gocheok Sky Dome, Seoul, and the 2026 MAMA AWARDS on November 20 and 21 at Kyocera Dome Osaka, Japan.
The group is also scheduled to perform at the 2026 FNS Music Festival hosted by Fuji TV on December 2, as well as the 2026 Asia Artist Awards at Kaohsiung National Stadium on December 6, 2026.
