- - Reaching 10 million followers on major SNS, the rank of 'short-form powerhouse'- The first, shortest, and highest record among K-pop boy groups that debuted within the last five years- BTS Jungkook and Olympic gold medalist Choi Ga-on participate in the challenge.

CORTIS has achieved 10 million followers on TikTok in an explosive global rise.
The number of followers on the official account of TikTok, the global short-form video platform of Cortis (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, and Geon-ho), exceeded 10 million around 9:30 p.m. on March 17. It has been about seven months since the account was opened in August last year. It is the only record among K-pop boy groups that debuted within the last five years. Cortis' entire post has 600 million likes. They are continuing to increase their influence on social media after occupying 10 million Instagram followers on February 21.
Cortis stimulated the interest of Global Generation Z with witty shortforms, choreography challenges, and behind-the-scenes videos of activities. Among them, the video of the members dancing to the trot-style arrangement of the debut album song "FaSHioN" has been viewed more than 52 million times on TikTok alone. Global artists such as BTS Jungkook and Black Pink Jennie also made headlines by taking videos themselves.
Stars from various fields also participated in the challenge. Gold medalists Choi Ga-on (Snowboard Halfpipe) and Kim Ki-li (Short Track) of the "2026 Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics," which closed in February, selected Cortis as the "favorite K-pop group" and participated in the dance challenge. In addition, singer Epik High, voice actor Arden Cho of the animation "K-pop Demon Hunters," and Hollywood actor Simu Liu joined Cortis in the choreography challenge video for his new song "YOUNGCREATORCREW."
Live stages and word of mouth at home and abroad also contributed to raising public awareness. Shortly after performing as the main artist at the 42nd My Butterfly Tokyo Girls Collection 2026 SPRING/SUMMER held in Japan on March 14, Cortis' new followers on SNS increased rapidly. In February, he was invited to the NBA crossover concert series in the U.S. as the first headliner for a K-pop singer and performed. In addition, love calls continued in North America, such as singing "Mement Me," an insert song from the new Hollywood production company Sony Pictures animation film "GOAT."
Meanwhile, Cortis will release its second mini album 'GREEN GREEN' on May 4. Prior to this, the title song of the new album will be released on April 20.
