CORTIS will hold the “PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN BIRTHDAY PARTY” at Korea University’s Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul on the 22nd and 23rd.
The “PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN BIRTHDAY PARTY” is part of CORTICE’s first tour, “PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN,” and tickets sold out during the membership pre-sale phase. The venue holds special significance for CORTICE, as it is where they first met fans during the “RELEASE PARTY” held last September to celebrate the release of their debut album.
Cortice will also host an online live stream via the fan platform Weverse for fans around the world who cannot attend in person.
Through their agency, Big Hit Music, the members shared, “Since this is our first-anniversary birthday party, we want to make it a fun time for our ‘COER’ (fandom name).” They added, “We’ll give it our all on stage with 300% passion. We hope everyone will let loose and have a blast so we won’t have any regrets. We’ll do our best to create a performance that leaves you thinking, ‘Ah, I wish I could go back to that moment,’ once it’s all over.”
Cortice’s first tour will consist of 14 shows across 9 cities worldwide. Previously, Cortice completed their concert schedules in Incheon and North America.
