Cortis Drops New Song at NBA Crossover Concert Series

‘Young Creator Crew’ stage scheduled to be released soon

[서울=뉴시스]Reporter Jaehoon Lee = Hive Music Group’s new boy group ‘CORTIS’ surprisingly released a new song at a festival hosted by The National Basketball Association. According to Big Hit Music, his agency, on the 14th (local time), Cortiz performed a new song as a headliner at the ‘NBA Crossover concert series’ held at the Los Angeles (LA) Convention Center the previous day. The stage is a musical performance held during the ‘2026 NBA All-Star Weekend’ and is part of the ‘NBA Crossover’, an entertainment event that combines sports, culture, music, and fashion. Cortis is the first Korean singer to appear on that stage. All tickets for this performance were sold out early, reflecting the high expectations of local fans. The concert hall was crowded with Cortis MD and fans holding slogans since early morning the previous day. ‘Core’ (COER, fandom name) from all over the United States gathered together, and the crowd extended to the outside of the building. The five members performed songs from their debut album, such as ‘What You Want’, ‘FaSHioN’, and ‘JoyRide’, as well as the team’s first OST ‘Mention Me’, which was released on the same day. Big Hit Music introduced, “The audience, who filled the hall, sang the song in unison and imitated the cheering method. As the remixed version of ‘GO!’ arranged by Martin rang out, everyone danced the point choreography together, creating a spectacle.” The highlight was the encore stage. Cortis surprisingly released his new song ‘Young Creator Crew (Young Creator Crew)’. At the end of the performance, he said, “We are about to make a comeback soon. We are happy to be able to perform our new song here for the first time. We are planning to prepare a unique event to show the ‘Young Creator Crew’ stage in March for the core audience. Please continue to watch with interest.” ‘Young Creator Crew’, which was released on this day, is a song included in the new album that will be released soon. Cortis introduces himself as ‘Young Creator Crew’, a keyword that best describes the team, but sings about the contradictory feelings of not wanting to be defined by one word. The members participated in the song work. Meanwhile, Cortis will be the first K-pop artist to perform a halftime show at the ‘2026 Ruffles® NBA All-Star Celebrity Game’ held at the Kia Forum in California, USA on the 14th.
