Broadcasting live from LA’s YouTube Theater, this event marks the cinema debut of CORTIS just under one year since their August 18, 2025 debut single launch. Hailed by Rolling Stone as the “coolest K-pop debut of the year” and by The Hollywood Reporter as proof that “K-pop’s future looks bright,” the group stands out as a self-producing “young creator crew”, with members MARTIN, JAMES, JUHOON, SEONGHYEON, and KEONHO all actively involved in the songwriting process, as well as choreography and visual direction.
Their debut EP, COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES, made massive waves by entering the Billboard 200 at No. 15 and ranking first in first-week sales among 2025 rookie groups. This commercial explosion earned the quintet a featured spot on Forbes’ 30-Under-30 Asia 2026 list, alongside critical validation at the 2025 Mnet Asian Music Awards and the 40th Golden Disc Awards.
The cinema broadcast arrives at the peak of their momentum, driven by their hit single “REDRED” from their 2nd EP GREENGREEN, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, up 12 spots from their previous release, crossing 100 million Spotify streams in a record 57 days, and a completely sold-out tour leg across both Incheon and North America.
Marc Allenby, Chief Executive Officer of Trafalgar Releasing, said, “We’re proud to continue our partnership with HYBE to bring this exciting new group to cinemas worldwide. CORTIS’ rise over the past year has been remarkable, and their first world tour arriving on the big screen reflects just how far they’ve come in such a short time. We’re also breaking new ground by simultaneously broadcasting the event to a live club audience at The Vermont Hollywood.”
In a unique extension of the global theatrical broadcast, the 2026 CORTIS TOUR <PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN> IN LA: LIVE VIEWING comes to The Vermont Hollywood (1020 North Vermont Ave., L.A., CA 90029) for an unforgettable event on August 13. Fans can see the group’s first-ever solo world tour take over massive screens with concert-grade sound in a true club environment, live from the show at the YouTube Theater. Attendees will experience the beat, the lights, and the energy as they celebrate the music up close and lose themselves in the moment with COER, feeling like they’re part of the show. Standard and VIP Ticket Packages are available, with both tiers including a printed poster gift, and the VIP tier adding fast-track access, access to the Mezzanine, and a soft drink.
