Cortis captivates F1 Singapore for 50 minutes — only K-pop act to enthrall 60,000 fans

First Singapore visit cements group’s singular presence at global motorsports festival

BigHit Music group ‘Cortis’ cemented its global standing by headlining the ‘Formula One (F1) Singapore Grand Prix 2026’, a world-class motorsports festival. The group took the stage at the ‘Padang Stage’, an outdoor venue inside Singapore’s Marina Bay Street Circuit, on the 9th, local time, drawing about 60,000 fans and electrifying the crowd.

Invited as the only K-pop group in this year’s lineup, ‘Cortis’ delivered 50 minutes of nonstop performances. The group performed a 15-song set live, including signature tracks ‘REDRED’ (REDRED), ‘GO!’ (GO!) and ‘FaSHioN’ (FaSHioN), demonstrating commanding control of the stage. Visiting Singapore for the first time since their debut, the members said, “It is an honor to be here with so many ‘Core’ fans. Singapore is truly a beautiful city,” sharing their emotional reflections.

The group’s global partnership activities also drew attention alongside its musical achievements. Officially invited by ‘Red Bull’, ‘Cortis’ visited the ‘Paddock’, an area reserved for F1 drivers and officials. There, the members met and exchanged greetings with Red Bull Racing world champion ‘Max Verstappen’, demonstrating the synergy created by bringing sports and entertainment together.

The local excitement is also extending into an offline experience. ‘Cortis’ is operating an exclusive pop-up store at ‘Plaza Singapura’ in downtown Singapore through the 25th. The pop-up continues the concert’s momentum while offering a range of interactive content, drawing global fans to the venue.
