Idol group CORTIS is showing a powerful upward trend on major domestic and international charts.

CORTIS (Martin James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Geon-ho) released their second mini-album 'GREENGREEN' on May 4, and prior to that, unveiled the title track 'REDRED' on April 20. 'REDRED' has been on a hot streak on various charts, garnering even greater attention after the album's release. The song climbed to fourth place on Melon's 'Top 100' at 11 p.m. on the 5th, marking the group's highest achievement on this chart to date. It is remarkable that after entering the chart at 98th place at 10 p.m. on April 26, they managed to climb all the way to the top five. The song has also been consistently rising on daily charts. On the 4th, Melon's daily chart ranked the song 17th, a rise of nine spots from the previous day, while Bugs recorded a ten-spot jump to third place.

'REDRED' has also entered Billboard's latest charts (dated May 9), the U.S. music specialty publication. It reached 63rd on the 'Global 200' and 31st on 'Global (Excluding U.S.)'. These two charts aggregate streaming and digital sales data from over 200 countries and regions. On 'World Digital Song Sales', which is based on download numbers, the song entered at 10th place.

CORTIS continues to post top results on Spotify daily. On the 4th, they ranked 91st on the 'Daily Top Artists Global' chart, their first-ever chart entry and the highest ranking among K-pop boy groups debuting within the last five years. On the same day, 'REDRED' jumped an impressive 45 spots from the previous day to secure 36th place on the 'Daily Top Songs Global' chart. With 2.55 million daily streams, it surpassed the previous record set since the song's release on April 20. It is also notable that the song entered the 'Daily Top Songs U.S.' chart at 134th place. On the 'Daily Top Songs Korea' chart, the song has held the top spot for seven consecutive days, and all six tracks from the second mini-album have entered the rankings.

On the 5th, all tracks from the album also entered Apple Music's 'Today's Top 100: South Korea' chart. In particular, 'REDRED' has maintained the number one spot for 10 consecutive days, while on the global chart, it held 27th place, a rise of 23 spots from the previous day. The mini-album tracks were also evenly positioned on QQ Music, China's largest music streaming platform, on its the 5th 'Rising Chart' (daily). The track 'TNT', whose music video was released on the day of the album launch, reached second place, while 'Blue Lips', 'Wassup', and 'ACAI' occupied positions 4 through 6 respectively. 'REDRED' and 'YOUNGCREATORCREW' recorded 11th and 12th places, respectively.

CORTIS's second mini-album 'GREENGREEN' is a work that erases what the group stands against and reveals what they aspire to. According to Hanteo Chart, the album sales aggregation site, the album sold a total of 1,196,961 copies on its release day alone (the 4th). While it took about three months for their first mini-album to surpass cumulative sales of one million copies, the new album achieved this milestone in just one day, proving their explosive growth trend.
