K-pop takes center stage at global mega-events

The group 'CORTIS' is set to heat up Asia’s biggest motorsports festival. The group will perform at the '2026 F1 Singapore Grand Prix' on the 9th (local time) at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore, sharing its music with fans from around the world.

According to its agency, 'BIGHIT MUSIC,' on the 8th, CORTIS said, "This is our first visit to Singapore, and we’re thrilled to perform our music and showcase our performance at a massive festival that draws visitors from around the world." The group added, "We’ll pour out every bit of explosive energy to match the signature heat of F1."

The 'F1 Singapore Grand Prix' is regarded as Asia’s premier entertainment event, combining a dynamic nighttime street race in the heart of the city with large-scale performances by world-class artists. CORTIS is the only 'K-pop group' on this year’s invited artist lineup, adding to the significance of its appearance. The group plans to deliver a commanding solo performance lasting about 50 minutes at the 'Padang Stage,' the event’s largest outdoor venue.

The event will also feature an array of internationally renowned musicians, including Singaporean superstar JJ Lin and legendary pop icon Janet Jackson, who will share the bill with CORTIS. The appearance offers another measure of CORTIS’ growing stature in the global music market.

Earlier, CORTIS performed during the halftime show at the 'NBA All-Star Celebrity Game,' organized by the National Basketball Association, in February, drawing attention from sports fans around the world. After taking the basketball court, the group is now reaching the F1 circuit, widely considered one of the world’s three major sports, as it continues its global push across the boundaries of sports and entertainment.
