KORDIA (Martin, James, Juhoon, Sunghyun, Keonho) has successfully wrapped up its first tour. Taking the stage with a single determination to share the air of the venue in the same breath as the audience, the group formed a deep bond with fans around the world and firmly cemented its potential as a next-generation performance artist.

KORDIA concluded the journey of its first tour, 'PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN,' with performances held from the 4th to the 6th at Pia Arena MM in Kanagawa, Japan. The tour, which began last July, started in Seoul and Incheon and spanned nine cities including Toronto, Canada; New York, USA; and Kanagawa, Japan, selling out every show.

In particular, the three Kanagawa shows, the group's first solo concerts in Japan, filled the venue to capacity, and the surprise performance of the unreleased track 'NANI (Demo ver.),' which features Japanese lyrics, gave local audiences a special moment. The online streaming held on the 5th and 6th drew global fans from 54 countries and regions including South Korea, the United States, Japan, China, Australia, the UK, and Germany, sharing the heat of the stage beyond the boundary of online and offline.

■ An Immersive Concert That Broke Down the Wall Between Audience and Stage

The tour's guiding concept of 'immersing in this very moment' focused on breaking down the wall between the audience and the stage. Going beyond simply performing on stage, the group fostered an immersive culture of breathing in the same space as those who came to the venue.

The surprise track reveals during the tour also served as catalysts for the stage's energy. 'Motion (feat. Juicy J),' first unveiled at the major music festival 'Lollapalooza Chicago' just before the North American tour, was officially added to the tour setlist, and at the 'BIRTHDAY PARTY' event held in Seoul to mark the first anniversary of their debut, 'MONEYMONEYMONEY' and 'PACK IT UP' were performed for the first time, enriching the composition of the shows.

■ Stage Command That Drew Praise from Billboard and Local Media

This audience-centered command translated into positive reviews from global music media. Billboard of the United States noted, regarding the stage at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York on the 6th of last month, that despite being rookies, the group professionally pulled off its first US solo concert, proving the potential of its future trajectory. Local media outlet Sweety High also spotlighted the YouTube Theater stage in Los Angeles on the 13th of last month, praising the group for radiating free energy like a large house party, breaking away from conventional concert formats, and showing stage capabilities comparable to veterans in only their first year since debut.

■ 'GREENGREEN' and 'REDRED' Prove Longevity on Billboard

The energy accumulated on stage was also reflected directly in long-term album and streaming chart performance. The second mini album 'GREENGREEN' rebounded 75 spots to land at No. 39 on Billboard's main album chart, the 'Billboard 200,' last month during the North American tour, and also ranked No. 112 on the chart dated September 5, maintaining a steady streak of 16 consecutive weeks on the chart. The title track 'REDRED' also ranked No. 130 on Billboard's 'Global 200' for its 18th week, demonstrating long-running consumption by global listeners.

■ From Rock in Japan to F1 Singapore, Global Momentum Continues

Having wrapped up their first tour, the members thanked the fans who helped them fulfill their dream of performing in harmony together, conveying the message that everyone who enjoys their music is part of the team. KORDIA, which stated that it draws the driving force of its activities from direct communication with its fandom core, will put the tour behind it and continue its global stage endeavors.

The group will perform at the major music festival 'Rock in Japan Festival 2026' in Chiba, Japan, on the 20th, and on October 9th, it will take the stage at the world-class sporting event 'Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix' in Singapore, once again showcasing the true value of its live performance style.

Meanwhile, KORDIA is currently holding the 19th spot in the Best Group category of the Netizens Awards for September. While the group remains in the lower ranks for now, attention is focused on whether the gathering of global fan support will lift its ranking.
