One year since its debut, boy band CORTIS has achieved remarkable success and become a prominent force in contemporary K-pop. Referred to affectionately as the Young Creator Crew for their involvement in every aspect of their music, the five-member group — comprising Martin, James, Joohoon, Seonghyun, and Keonho — has experienced an extraordinary ascent.
Their second EP, GREENGREEN, held the No. 3 position on the Billboard 200 chart for an impressive 13 consecutive weeks, setting the record for the longest run among boy groups debuting in the past five years. Collectively, the band's 14-track discography has garnered over 1.1 billion streams on Spotify. Following a sold-out North American tour that concluded in San Francisco, CORTIS gathered with their agency, BigHit Music, to reflect on a landmark year prior to their BIRTHDAY PARTY anniversary concerts at Seoul's Hwajeong Gymnasium on Saturday and Sunday.
