As of May 21, CORTIS’s monthly listeners on Spotify reached an impressive 11.99 million. This phenomenal achievement places them 4th among all-time K-pop boy groups in terms of peak monthly listeners, following iconic acts like BTS. Their monthly listener count had previously surpassed the record of 8.37 million from their 1st mini-album era, reaching approximately 8.40 million on April 29, and has continued its remarkable upward trend since.

CORTIS’s 2nd mini-album, ‘GREENGREEN,’ also made its mark on international charts, charting at 30th on the UK Official Charts’ ‘Official Hip Hop & R&B Albums’ for May 22-28, a position it held for two consecutive weeks. In the US, the album hit No. 3 on Billboard’s ‘Billboard 200’ and claimed the No. 1 spot on ‘Top Album Sales’ on May 23. Furthermore, on Billboard Japan’s tally for May 11-17, ‘GREENGREEN’ reached 85th on the ‘Japan Hot 100’ and 60th on ‘Hot Albums.’

Fans can look forward to CORTIS’s upcoming performances: ‘ACAI’ will be showcased on MBC’s ‘Show! Music Core’ on the 23rd, followed by both ‘ACAI’ and ‘YOUNGCREATORCREW’ on SBS’s ‘Inkigayo’ on the 24th. The ‘YOUNGCREATORCREW’ stage will be a highly anticipated first for domestic music broadcasts.
