K-op boy group CORTIS has surpassed 274 million Spotify streams with their track REDRED as of Nov. 7, according to vietnam.vn.

The song serves as the lead track for the group’s second EP, titled GREENGREEN. BigHit Music reports that the track pulls in over 800,000 daily streams and is on track to cross 300 million plays before the end of the year.

Among boy groups debuting over the past five years, CORTIS holds the top three spots on Spotify for cumulative streams. The group’s previous tracks, GO! and FaSHioN, follow closely with approximately 266 million and 247 million streams respectively, as noted by The Korea Times.

REDRED reached 100 million streams in 57 days and hit 200 million in 128 days. BigHit Music states that these milestones occurred more than twice as fast as the group’s earlier releases.

The track topped Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Korea chart 121 times, setting a record for a K-pop group track. On Apple Music, the song stayed at number 100 on the Korea chart for 96 days and maintained a position in the top three of Melon’s monthly chart for five consecutive months.

Physical sales for the second EP, GREENGREEN, exceeded 4.1 million copies in September based on Circle Chart data. The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and remained on the chart for 18 consecutive weeks until mid-September.

CORTIS consists of members Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, and Keonho, who debuted under BigHit Music in August 2025. The members participate directly in songwriting, music production, choreography, and visual content creation.

The group’s second EP also features the track YOUNGCREATORCREW, which inspired agency references to a Young Creator Crew syndrome among trend-conscious fans. CORTIS secured 12 music show wins for REDRED, including a top spot on KBS2’s Music Bank during the first week of October.

The group is scheduled to perform at the 18th Melon Music Awards in Seoul on Nov. 15 and the 2026 MAMA AWARDS in Osaka on Nov. 20 and 21. Additional appearances include Fuji TV’s 2026 FNS Music Festival on Dec. 2 and the 2026 Asia Artist Awards in Kaohsiung on Dec. 6.
