CORTIS Soars: K-Pop Rookie Dominates Global Charts

As of October 29, 2025, the K-pop group CORTIS has emerged as one of the most promising rookie acts of the year. The group's debut album 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES' has maintained a steady seven-week streak on the World Albums chart, ranking 3rd as of November 1.

CORTIS, composed of members Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, and Geonho, has seen an explosive growth in their audience since their debut. In just one month, their social media following has leapt from 3 million to 5 million, a staggering 60% increase. This rapid trajectory showcases the group's widespread appeal, particularly among younger audiences, and their ability to captivate fans through their modern visual storytelling and innovative performances.

Back in Korea, CORTIS' introductory track 'GO!' has continued to prove its resilience, entering national charts for three consecutive weeks and peaking at No. 96 in late October. This feat is particularly noteworthy, as CORTIS is the only 2025 rookie boy group to achieve such mainstream recognition in their home market.

With their sharp choreography, emotional narratives, and polished production, CORTIS is poised to make a strong impression on the Japanese stage in early November, further solidifying their status as K-pop's next global breakout act.
