CORTIS (코르티스) won its 12th music-show trophy for “REDRED” on the Music Bank K-Chart announced October 2, 2026. The song scored 5,315 points during the September 21-27 tracking period, more than five months after its release and four months after CORTIS stopped broadcast promotions.

CORTIS Wins Again With a Five-Month-Old Song
Music Bank did not air a new episode on October 2. KBS still posted the week’s winner through the show’s official website, and “REDRED” took the top spot. This marked CORTIS’s 12th music-show win for the track since its release.
The group debuted under BigHit Music on August 18, 2025, with the digital single “What You Want.” “REDRED” arrived as the group’s next major single release in 2026, and the October 2 win shows the song still drawing an active audience long after its initial promotion window closed.
The Exact Music Bank Score
“REDRED” earned 5,315 points during the tracking period of September 21 through September 27. KBS did not publish a detailed breakdown of the point gap against other charting songs for that week, but the total was enough to place CORTIS at No. 1.
Why the REDRED Win Is More Than a Weekly Result
CORTIS ended broadcast promotions for “REDRED” roughly four months before this win. This win arrived in the song’s sixth month, without new stage performances driving the score.
The song’s run on Melon backs up that longevity. “REDRED” placed No. 3 in May, No. 2 in June, and No. 3 in July, August, and September. That is five consecutive months inside Melon’s monthly top three, a stretch that has kept the song visible on domestic charts well past its release date.
REDRED’s Latest Billboard Positions
Billboard’s charts dated October 3 placed “REDRED” at No. 198 on the Global 200 and No. 100 on Global Excl. U.S. Both marks represent the song’s 22nd consecutive week on the respective charts, giving North American chart watchers a clear read on its staying power outside Korea.
Pairing a 22-week Billboard run with five straight months in Melon’s top three points to listening habits that outlasted the comeback cycle, rather than a short spike tied to a single release week.
What International Fans Can Watch Next
CORTIS performs at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix on October 9. The show takes place on the main stage at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. CORTIS is listed as the only K-pop act on the event bill, giving Southeast Asian fans a chance to see the group at a major international sports event rather than a standard concert or music-show stage.
Where REDRED Fits in the GREENGREEN Era
“REDRED” dropped at 6 p.m. KST on April 20, 2026, as the lead single from CORTIS’s second EP, “GREENGREEN.” The song has carried that EP’s promotion cycle well past its initial release, from Korean music shows to Billboard’s global charts and now to a Formula 1 stage in Singapore. The official music video and the song itself remain available on Spotify and other major streaming platforms.
