    Released: April 20, 2026

GreenGreen (stylized in all caps) is the second extended play by South Korean boy band Cortis. The EP was released by BigHit Music on May 4, 2026, and supported by the lead single "RedRed". It charted at number one on the Circle Album Chart, number two on the Oricon Albums Chart, and number three on the Billboard 200.

Background and release

[edit]

On March 6, 2026, Cortis announced their second EP, GreenGreen, to be released on May 4, with the title track scheduled to release on April 20.[1] The title track was later revealed to be "RedRed" and was released on April 20, with the track using the colors green and red showing what the group likes and dislikes.[2]

In an interview with Dazed, the group said that they did not want the album to be "categorized in a certain genre or sound" and they experimented with "different sounds and textures".[3]

Album cover

[edit]

The album cover features the members wearing clothes they frequently wear. It was filmed at Gilmajung Bridge where the members frequently walked by when they were trainees.[4]

Music and lyrics

[edit]

The EP blends '90s alternative rock with hip hop and EDM.[5] "TNT" has a trap beat and "RedRed" features 2000s electroclash.[6] "Acai", inspired from the acai bowls the members ate every day, shows the determination of the members to be "great without toppings". "YoungCreatorCrew" is based on a freestyle rap by the members on their debut day where the phrase becomes "a chant, a joke and a self-description". "Wassup" depicts the group's travel with a mid-tempo arrangement. "Blue Lips", featuring a "warm" keyboard line and low-register vocals, is about pain that the journey to achieve a dream inevitably causes.[7][8]
