Group CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyun, Geonho) conveyed the energy of “rawness” through their new music video.
CORTIS released the music video for the title track ‘REDRED’ from their 2nd mini album ‘GREENGREEN’ on the HYBE Labels YouTube channel at 6 p.m. on the 20th.
The five members in the music video exude cheerful energy against the backdrop of an old shop that evokes Korea’s unique sensibility. The video captures their everyday moments as they roam around a samgyeopsal restaurant with a long history, an arcade, and a thrift shop. Geonho, wearing a floral apron, works part-time at a charcoal-grilled meat restaurant, while the other members happily grill and eat meat at a place where their friend works.
During the day, they intensely enjoy games like basketball and air hockey and pick out vintage clothes for each other. Natural acting that feels like a snapshot of daily life, angles from the samgyeopsal perspective, and editing that deliberately speeds up or slows down certain cuts come together to create a unique video.
CORTIS once again received credit as co-directors for the music video. The structure and atmosphere of a self-produced music video shot by the members before the main filming served as the foundation for the official version. They previously co-directed the music videos for their debut album title track ‘What You Want’ and the track ‘GO!’, and this time they reunited with the same team for the 2nd mini album. The members actively exchanged opinions with the production team on set and incorporated their own ideas into the video. At the end of the music video, a cookie video featuring an instrumental dance scene offering a glimpse of the filming atmosphere was included.
‘REDRED’ is themed around what CORTIS pursues and what they guard against. They turn on red warning lights for behaviors such as being fickle, being overly sensitive to others’ opinions, and pretending to be cool. Instead, they turn on a green light when they declare they will not worry about others’ gazes and will leap over the fences placed before them. All members participated in writing lyrics and composing music, creating distinctive lyrics and a catchy melody.
CORTIS will hold the ‘REDRED Release Party’ at Seoul Yes24 Live Hall at 8 p.m. on this day and make the first public performance of ‘REDRED’. They are also scheduled to appear on music shows to showcase the song’s charm.
Meanwhile, the 2nd mini album ‘GREENGREEN’ is set for official release on May 4. Their second album, which rose to prominence immediately after their debut in August last year, is drawing great expectations. As of 5 p.m. on the 20th, the pre-save count on the global audio and music streaming platform Spotify surpassed 755,000, proving the high interest of listeners worldwide. Reflecting this, the album ranked 3rd on the ‘Countdown Chart Global’ dated April 15.
