Their agency, Big Hit Music, announced on the 2nd that Cortis took the “T-Mobile” stage—one of the main stages at “Lollapalooza Chicago”—held in Chicago, U.S., on the 1st (local time), and performed a total of 11 songs over approximately 40 minutes.
Kortis kicked off the show with “GO!” and “What You Want,” followed by a string of hit songs including “REDRED,” “ACAI,” and “YOUNGCREATORCREW,” drawing cheers from the crowd of about 50,000 people. During the “TNT” remix performance, the members went down into the audience area to interact directly with fans.
In particular, American hip-hop star Jussie J made a surprise guest appearance at the concert, drawing attention with a collaborative performance of his recently released song “MOTION.”
The concert was live-streamed worldwide via the global fan platform Weverse and OTT services such as Disney+ and Hulu. According to Weverse Live, approximately 167,000 viewers from 185 countries watched the performance in real time.
Through his agency, Cortis shared his thoughts, saying, “I was happy to experience firsthand the passionate atmosphere I had imagined while working on my second mini-album, ‘Green Green,’ on the stage I’ve always dreamed of.”
Following her performance at Lollapalooza, Cortis is set to embark on her first tour, “PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN,” which will visit six cities across North America, starting in Toronto, Canada, on the 4th.
