CORTIS continues to make waves on the global stage, maintaining its spot on the Billboard charts for nine consecutive weeks. According to Billboard’s latest update on November 11, the group’s debut album Color Outside the Lines ranked sixth on the World Albums chart.

Since entering at 15th place on September 20, the five-member group—Martin, James, Juhun, Seonghyeon, and Geonho—has demonstrated remarkable staying power. Their sustained success highlights CORTIS’s ability to create music that resonates across cultures, strengthened by the fact that all members directly contributed to songwriting, performance, and visual production. As a self-driven creative team, CORTIS is redefining K-pop’s new generation with its hands-on approach to artistry.

Their debut album has now surpassed 960,000 copies sold, according to the Circle Chart’s October data—the highest figure for any rookie group this year. Building on that momentum, CORTIS is set to perform at major year-end ceremonies, including the 2025 MAMA Awards at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium on November 28–29 and the 10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025 at Taiwan’s National Stadium in Kaohsiung on December 6, further cementing their global presence.
