Group CORTIS has surpassed cumulative sales of 4 million copies with a single album. This makes 'ARIRANG' by BTS and CORTIS's mini album 2, 'GREENGREEN', the only two 'quadruple million sellers' achieved this year. This adds even more significance to the achievement.

According to the latest weekly album chart released by Circle Chart on the 17th (collection period: September 6–12), CORTIS (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Geon-ho)'s 'GREENGREEN' recorded cumulative sales of approximately 4.1 million copies. The album sold 2.313291 million copies in its first week (sales within one week after release) as of Hanter Chart in May. This represents a fivefold increase compared to the previous album's first-week sales of 436,467 copies. Circle Chart announced that 'GREENGREEN' broke through 3 million copies in July, just 11 weeks after its release, and added another 1 million copies within two months.

The title track 'REDRED' and the included track 'YOUNGCREATORCREW', among others, captivated listeners with their fresh sound and lyrics. Analysts suggest that interest in these songs naturally translated into album sales.

The evaluation is that merchandise such as LPs, lip balms, dice, and CORTIS balls released in succession have enhanced the collectible value of physical albums. The extended version 'GREENGREEN_playextended', which featured new songs 'PACK IT UP' and 'MONEYMONEYMONEY' in August, also contributed significantly.

Meanwhile, 'GREENGREEN' entered the Billboard 200, the main album chart of U.S. music specialist media Billboard, at No. 3 on the May 23 edition. This added significance as it marked the fastest entry into the top 3 by a K-pop group since debut, excluding project teams. On the September 19 edition of the 'Billboard 200', the album settled at No. 188, maintaining its position for 18 consecutive weeks.

The debut album 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES', released last September, recorded cumulative sales of approximately 2.3 million copies as of the weekly album chart by Circle Chart on the 17th. Over 1 million copies were sold this year alone. CORTIS is setting a record-breaking total of 6.4 million copies with just two albums within a little over a year since their debut.
