CORTIS's "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" has become the most sold K-pop album.

The debut album "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" by Cortis (Martin, James, Joo Hoon, Sung Hyun, and Geonho) topped the monthly album chart in December 2025 released by Circle Chart on the 8th. It is back to the top in four months since it was released on September 8 last year. It is a very unusual achievement considering that all of the top five albums released on the same day were released in December.

Circle Chart analyzed, "The favorable reviews from leading global media, the attention poured in the year-end settlement season, and the bold declaration contained in the title song 'What You Want' resulted in a reverse drive." In fact, Cortis led an all-round rise in album sales, music playback trends, and SNS followers in the wake of broadcasts and awards performances at the end of last year. Their stage videos became so popular that they ranked at the top of the view count on each YouTube channel.

In addition, "What You Want" became popular as the "first song of the new year" that contains the year's wishes, and the entire debut album was again attracting attention on social media. It was re-examined with ambitious lyrics such as "money, fashion, honor, love and what?" and "Oh Take what you want."

Meanwhile, Cortis will attend the 40th Golden Disc Awards, which will be held at the Taipei Dome on the 10th.
