Accordingly, the new episode of "M Countdown" is a special version, not live recording but replaying previous stages. However, the program still announced the voting results and awarded cups to the weekly winning artists.
The two candidates competing for the championship this week are ILLIT with the song "It's Me" and CORTIS with "REDRED". In the end, CORTIS surpassed his opponent to win the overall victory.
This is the second music cup in the group's career since their debut, marking a remarkable step forward for CORTIS on this year's Kpop race.
Previously, "REDRED" attracted attention thanks to its vibrant melody, youthful performance style and energetic choreography. The song also created an effect on social networking platforms, especially TikTok with many dance challenge cover videos.
CORTIS is known to the audience as a group that pursues a youthful, dynamic image and has a orientation to participate in the music creation process. The members once attracted attention when participating in the production, writing lyrics and brainstorming ideas for the group's products.
Recently, the group has continuously recorded positive signs in terms of recognition. Before the victory at "M Countdown", the MV "REDRED" also reached millions of views on YouTube after a short time of release.
Many viewers assess that this victory shows the increasing appeal of CORTIS in the fiercely competitive Korean music market.
M Countdown is one of the famous music shows in Korea, where many Kpop artists promote new products and compete for weekly rankings based on sales, digital music listens, votes and media influence.
