CORTIS is preparing for their first comeback since debut, with BIGHIT MUSIC confirming an April 2026 return.

The company made the announcement on February 10, stating "CORTIS is currently in the midst of preparing with the goal of an April comeback." This marks a significant milestone for the group, as it will be their first comeback following their official debut in August 2025.

The timing puts CORTIS on an eight-month gap between their debut and first comeback, which is fairly typical for rookie groups as they establish their sound and build their fanbase. Many fourth-generation groups have followed similar patterns, using their debut period to gauge fan response and refine their musical direction before returning with new material.

While BIGHIT MUSIC hasn't revealed specific details about the comeback concept, album format, or exact release date within April, the confirmation gives fans something concrete to anticipate. The company's track record with rookie groups suggests CORTIS will likely receive substantial promotional support for this crucial first comeback.

Comebacks are particularly important for newer groups as they help maintain momentum from their debut and demonstrate their growth as artists. For CORTIS, this April return will be a chance to show how they've developed since their August debut and potentially attract new listeners who may have missed their initial release.

Fans have been eagerly waiting for news about CORTIS's next move, and this official confirmation from BIGHIT MUSIC provides the timeline they've been hoping for. With April still a couple months away, there's likely more details about the comeback concept, tracklist, and promotional schedule to come.

The announcement positions CORTIS among the spring comeback lineup, which typically sees increased competition as many groups aim for the favorable promotional period following the new year.
