CORTIS will hold the first day of their tour at the Inspire Arena in Incheon on that day. This marks the first time Cortice, who debuted last August, has embarked on a tour. They will hold their second performance at the same venue on the 19th. They will then visit Toronto, Canada; New York, USA; and Kanagawa, Japan, among other locations. The tour will run through September, with a total of 14 shows across 9 cities in 4 countries. The tour title, “Put Your Phone Down,” reflects the group’s determination to “have fun with the audience right here, right now.” Through their agency, Big Hit Music, they stated, “We are grateful to be holding solo concerts less than a year after our debut. We will do our best to ensure the audience has an unforgettable experience.” Cortice has been enjoying a long run on the U.S. Billboard 200 main album chart with their second mini-album, “GREENGREEN,” released last May. The album ranked 82nd on the latest chart (dated July 18), maintaining its position in the rankings for nine consecutive weeks. Cumulative sales of “GREENGREEN” are approaching 3 million copies. According to the latest Circle Chart album chart (July 5–11), it recorded approximately 2,998,000 copies sold. The album’s title track, “REDRED,” took the No. 1 spot on Spotify’s “Weekly Top Songs Korea” chart (July 10–16), released today, marking its 12th consecutive week at the top.
