[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] The group CORTIS is embarking on its first solo tour less than a year after its debut. As the tour kicks off, the group also shared a special message with the audience: “Put down your cell phones and let’s enjoy this moment together.”

According to their agency, Big Hit Music, on the 17th, CORTIS will kick off their “2026 CORTIS TOUR <PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN>” at the Inspire Arena in Incheon on the 18th and 19th. This concert marks the starting point of their first world tour, which will span a total of 14 shows across nine cities, including Seoul, North America, and Japan. The Incheon concert sold out completely, demonstrating the rapid rise of this rookie group, which has been active for less than a year.
During the concert, they will perform their representative songs released to date, including the title track “REDRED” from their second mini-album and “YOUNGCREATORCREW.” The group plans to deliver a stage that connects with the audience through intense performances and an immersive live experience.
The tour title, “PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN,” goes beyond simply urging fans to put their phones away; it embodies the group’s hope that everyone will fully enjoy the concert experience together.
Martin said, “‘PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN’ means ‘living in the moment’ to us,” adding, “We hope you’ll focus on the stage itself rather than your smartphones. Watching this concert will give you a clear sense of the kind of performances Cortis will create in the future.”
James also remarked, “While it’s nice to capture the moment with photos and videos, the experience of physically feeling the atmosphere of the venue stays with you much longer,” adding, “We’ll do our best to ensure the audience has an unforgettable time.”
Since this is their first solo tour, the members have put more effort into preparation than ever before. They explained that they meticulously prepared not only their performances but also their stamina and improvisation skills to create a stage where they can interact and have fun with the fans filling the venue.
Starting with this tour, Cortice will take the stage at major global events in the second half of the year, including “Lollapalooza Chicago” and the “Formula One (F1) Singapore Grand Prix.” The members expressed their excitement about their global activities, stating, “Our goal is always to present better music and more spectacular performances.”
Finally, Seong-hyun and Joo-hoon told fans, “The show will be as fun as you expect,” and urged them, “Come and let loose to your heart’s content.”
