CORTIS has reached a significant career milestone with their upcoming second mini-album, 'GREENGREEN'. According to data released by distributors YG Plus and Universal Records on April 4, 2026 KST, pre-orders for the new release reached 1,227,986 copies as of April 2. This impressive figure was achieved just one week after the pre-order period began on March 27 and is nearly triple the first-week sales of their debut album, 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES', which recorded 436,367 copies on the Hanteo Chart. Big Hit Music anticipates that with a month left until the official release on May 4, the total pre-order volume will continue to see a steady increase.
The global anticipation for the group's return after an 8-month hiatus is further reflected in their digital performance. As of March 31, 2026 KST, the "Pre-save" count for 'GREENGREEN' on Spotify exceeded 565,000. To maintain this momentum, CORTIS will pre-release the title track, 'REDRED', along with its music video and a conceptual performance film on April 20 at 6 PM KST. The upcoming album is described as a deeply personal project, reflecting the individual tastes and artistic directions of the five members, signaling a new level of musical maturity for the group.
Following the album's release, CORTIS is set to make a major international impact this summer. The group is scheduled to perform at the renowned US music festival 'Lollapalooza Chicago' in August 2026, marking their status as the only K-pop boy group in this year’s lineup. This upcoming performance, combined with their explosive domestic and international growth, highlights the group’s rapidly rising influence as a leading figure in the global music scene.
