Big Hit Music reported that Curtis currently boasts 12.67 million monthly listeners on Spotify, placing them among the top three South Korean boy bands in terms of listener numbers. The group consists of five members: Martin, James, Juhun, Seonghyeon, and Konho, who are also involved in writing and composing their music.

Curtis is set to embark on their world tour, commencing with their first solo concerts on July 18th and 19th at the Inspire Arena in Incheon. The tour will include stops in Seoul, Toronto, New York, and Kanagawa, Japan. Tickets for the Incheon and all North American dates have already sold out in advance.
