The announcement was made through the global fandom platform Weverse, where the group confirmed that the upcoming EP will feature six tracks and mark a new creative phase following their breakout debut in 2025.
One of the songs from the EP, “YOUNGCREATORCREW,” was previously teased during a surprise live performance at the NBA Crossover Concert Series in February. The performance offered fans a first preview of the track ahead of its official release.
Billboard Success and Rapid Rise
GREENGREEN follows CORTIS’s debut project, COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES, which dropped in September 2025 and made an impressive entrance on the Billboard 200 at No. 15.
The milestone marked one of the most notable rookie debuts of the year and positioned CORTIS as one of the fastest-rising new acts in the global K-pop scene.
Known for their hands-on creative involvement, the group participates in shaping their music, choreography, and visual storytelling—an approach that has helped them build a distinct artistic identity early in their career.
Making History With the NBA
Earlier this year, CORTIS expanded their global presence through a major collaboration with the National Basketball Association. The group was named “Friends of the NBA” and headlined the Opening Night of the NBA All-Star 2026 Crossover Concert Series.
The performance marked the first time a K-pop act has headlined the event, further highlighting the group’s international reach. CORTIS also took the stage the following day during the NBA All-Star Game halftime show, delivering a high-energy performance to millions of global viewers.
