Male group CORTIS has just announced plans to return with their second mini album named Greengreen, marking a comeback after about 8 months since releasing their debut mini album Color Outside The Lines. The information was confirmed by the management company Big Hit Music on March 6 (Korean time).
According to the announcement, CORTIS will release the title track on April 20, before officially launching the mini album The 2nd ep [Greengreen] on May 4. This is considered a preparation step to create emotional momentum for fans before the full album goes on shelves.
The announcement of the comeback schedule is not just a music announcement, but also shows the group's ambition to continue to expand their mark in the fiercely competitive K-pop market. After their debut with Color Outside The Lines, CORTIS quickly attracted attention thanks to their youthful music style and dynamic image.
One of the notable songs in the new mini album is Youngcreatorcrew. The song was first performed by CORTIS at the NBA Crossover Concert Series event last month and received positive feedback from the audience. This performance is seen as an early "greeting" to the group's new operating period.
This comeback also takes place in the context that CORTIS is recording many notable milestones on social networks. The group has just reached the milestone of 10 million followers on Instagram in a record time, showing the increasing spread of the newcomers of Big Hit Music.
For a young band, the 8-month gap between two mini albums is just enough time to consolidate the musical identity and expand the audience. Greengreen is therefore expected not only to continue the youthful energy of previous products, but also to reveal a new step of maturity in CORTIS's style.
