The group CORTIS has become a "global hit" with its debut album.

Cortis' debut album "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" (Martin, James, Joo Hoon, Sung Hyun, Geonho) has surpassed 300 million cumulative streams on Spotify, a global audio and sound source streaming platform, as of the 8th. It is an achievement made four months after its release, and it is very rare to exceed 300 million cumulative plays in such a short period of time.

"COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" surpassed 100 million streams on October 12 last year, about a month after its release, followed by 200 million on November 27 and 300 million on January 8 this year. It is special that streaming figures have not decreased since the end of official activities and have continued to be maintained. Thanks to the steady interest and word of mouth from music fans around the world, it is greatly loved, maintaining an average of more than 2.2 million plays per day even during the inactive period.

The rise in Cortis' popularity is also palpable in China. The debut album intro song "GO!" won the "K-Pop Single of the Year" on the 2025 annual peak chart of QQ Music, the largest music streaming platform in the country. The category selects only one song by comprehensively considering factors such as peak chart rankings, listeners' preferences, and SNS reactions.

Meanwhile, the cumulative sales of Cortis' debut album "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" exceeded 1.38 million copies in 2025 based on the circle chart. They were noted as the "minimum annual" team and the only rookies among artists who recorded a "million seller" with a single album last year.
