The group CORTIS (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Geon-ho) has surpassed a total of 700 million cumulative streams on Spotify.

As of May 27, CORTIS's 13 tracks, including their mini 2nd album released on May 4, their debut album, and the song 'Mention ME' featured in the Sony Pictures Animation film 'GOAT', have accumulated over 700 million streams. CORTIS achieved 700 million cumulative streams in just 10 months since debut, the fastest pace among all K-pop boy groups in history.

Interest in CORTIS's music surged following the release of the mini 2nd album title track 'REDRED' on the 20th. The group reached 500 million streams on April 21 and 600 million on May 11. It then took 16 days to add another 100 million streams. The new album 'GREENGREEN' surpassed 100 million streams just 15 days after its release on May 19, a significant reduction compared to the 34th days it took for their previous mini 1st album to reach the same milestone.

The success of the album's B-sides also contributed to the overall achievement. The streaming counts for 'TNT', 'ACAI', and 'YOUNGCREATORCREW' more than doubled in the past two weeks. CORTIS has showcased performances of these tracks on music shows and university festivals. 'YOUNGCREATORCREW' popularized the term 'Young Creator Crew' (Young Crek), which has now become a symbol of youth and individuality.

CORTIS has appeared on the Spotify Weekly Charts for five consecutive weeks. 'REDRED' ranked 108th on the latest 'Weekly Top Songs Global' chart. It marks the first time a K-pop boy group debuting within the past five years has entered this chart. On the chart released on the 9th, it reached a personal best of 61st place. On the Korean 'Weekly Top Songs' chart, it has maintained the number one spot for four weeks. On the 'Daily Top Songs Global' chart, it remained in the rankings for 36 consecutive days as of the 28th, with its highest position being 36th on the 4th.

The mini 2nd album 'GREENGREEN' continues to achieve success on the UK Official Charts and the US Billboard Charts. It entered the UK Official Charts 'Official Hip Hop & R&B Albums' chart at 16th place for three consecutive weeks. On the US Billboard Main Album Chart 'Billboard 200', it ranked 30th for two consecutive weeks. It held the top spot on both the 'World Albums' and 'Top Album Sales' charts for two weeks. On the Billboard Japan 'Hot Albums' chart, it reached 26th place, and on 'Top Album Sales', it reached 4th place, rising 34 and 7 positions respectively compared to Jeonju.

At 0:00 on May 31, the music video for the mini 2nd album track 'Blue Lips' will be released via the HYBE Labels YouTube channel. This is the fourth music video among the five released for the new album.
