Boy group CORTIS has reached a career high.

According to Hanteo Chart, a music sales tracking site, CORTIS (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Geon-ho)'s 2nd mini album 'GREENGREEN' sold a total of 1,196,961 copies on its first day of release on the 4th. Achieving a million-seller status on the day of release, the album topped the daily album chart on the 4th. Additionally, as of 8 a.m. on the 5th, the album entered the iTunes 'Top Albums' charts in 23 countries/regions, including the United States, Japan, Germany, Turkey, and Vietnam.

Compared to the debut album, which took about three months to surpass cumulative sales of 1 million copies, the steep growth trajectory is evident. The first-day sales of the new album are approximately five times that of the 1st mini album (247,295 copies). In particular, it nearly tripled the initial sales (album sales within one week after release) of the previous work, which stood at 436,367 copies, in just one day. According to distributors YG Plus and Universal Records, as of April 30, the pre-order volume for the 2nd mini album was 2,397,188 copies. It is anticipated that the group will achieve a second consecutive 'double million-seller' status, following the 1st mini album.

The title track 'REDRED', released earlier on April 20, has established a solid position on the digital music charts. On the 5th at midnight, the song climbed to 8th place on Melon's 'Top 100', marking the group's highest-ever ranking on this chart. On the daily chart, it jumped 16 spots in one day to reach 26th place (as of the 3rd). The song maintained the number one position on Spotify's 'Daily Top Songs - Korea' and Apple Music Korea's 'Today's Top 100' as of the 3rd. CORTIS has already set a record as the first K-pop boy group to debut within the past five years to enter both Spotify's global weekly and daily charts with this song. On the 'Daily Top Songs - Global' chart as of the 3rd, the song secured a spot in the top rankings for 12 consecutive days, rising 19 positions from the previous day to 81st place.

'GREENGREEN' is an album that erases the boundaries the group has set and embodies their aspirations. Pursuing raw naturalness through new sounds that have undergone repeated themes of sincerity and experimentation, all members of the group are credited on the album, just as they were on the previous work, and jointly created the videos and choreography.

On the 4th, they held a 'GREENGREEN Release Party' at Esfactory D in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, and performed all six tracks from the new album. Fans from 200 countries/regions joined in real-time via the global superfan platform Weverse. On the 5th, they will appear on MBC FM4U's 'Noon Hope Song with Kim Shin-young' at 1 p.m. Later that evening at 9 p.m., they will release a conceptual performance film focused on the choreography of the track 'TNT'.
