Cortis turned up the heat in Los Angeles after headlining the sold out “NBA Crossover Concert Series” and surprising fans with a brand new song.
On February 13 (Korean time), Cortis performed at the Los Angeles Convention Center as part of the 2026 NBA All Star Weekend.
The concert was included in the larger NBA Crossover event, which brings together sports, culture, music, and fashion.
Notably, Cortis became the first Korean artist to perform on this stage. The show was fully sold out ahead of time, reflecting strong interest from local fans.
Fans from across the United States gathered early in the morning, holding official merchandise and slogans.
Their fandom, COER, filled both the venue and the surrounding area, showing strong support for the group.
During the concert, Cortis performed tracks from their debut album including “What You Want,” “FaSHioN,” and “JoyRide,” along with their first OST “Mention Me,” which was released the same day. The audience sang along and followed the fan chants throughout the show. When the remix version of “GO!” arranged by Martin played, the crowd performed the signature choreography together, creating a powerful scene.
The biggest moment came during the encore, when Cortis surprised the audience by unveiling their new song “YOUNGCREATORCREW” for the first time. Wrapping up the stage, the group shared, “We are preparing for a comeback soon. We are happy to share our new song here for the first time. For our COER, we are planning a special stage for ‘YOUNGCREATORCREW’ in March. Please continue to support and watch us.”
The new track will be included in their upcoming album. According to the group, “young creator crew” is a keyword that best describes Cortis, but the song also reflects their feelings about not wanting to be limited by just one label. The members took part in writing the track to deliver their message in their own voice.
Cortis is set to continue their historic run on February 14, when they perform the halftime show at the “2026 Ruffles NBA All Star Celebrity Game” at the Kia Forum in California. They will be the first K pop artist to hold a halftime show at the event. The game will air live across the United States on ESPN and will also be available in Korea through Coupang Play.
