CORTIS will embark on its first tour, titled “Put Your Phone Down", and perform in nine regions around the world, including the United States, Canada and Japan.

Before the North American leg of the tour, Cortis will perform at the Lollapalooza Chicago music festival on Aug. 1 as the only K-pop boy band to do so this year.
Fans took to the comment section expressing their views, and one user wrote, 'I'll be waiting for you in Thailand in 2027.' Please come visit my country and enjoy Pad Thai, Tom Yum Goong, and Mango Sticky Rice. We can’t wait to see you here!"
Another X user wrote, “It's not about presence; it's about exclusivity... like 'I'm here but you're not.'”
“Korean, American, Japanese and Canadian fans better put the fucking phone down, 'cause ain't no way they made the tour name like that just for y'all to violate,” wrote the third user.

CORTIS is an unconventional mix of six letters drawn from the phrase 'COLOUR OUTSIDE THE LINES'. The group consists of five members, Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, and Keonho, among others. This is the newest pop band introduced to the audience after a gap of six years since TXT and twelve years since BTS made their debut.
It is a group of self-driven creatives who are raw and authentic to everything they create, from music and choreography to video content. All five members, who are teens, draw from personal stories to showcase their creativity across songwriting, composition, performance, and videography.
