[The Fact | Reporter Choi Hyun-jung] Group CORTIS's debut album has achieved explosive success upon its release.

Big Hit Music announced on the 9th, "CORTIS's debut album 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES,' released at 6 PM on the 8th, ranked 2nd on the Hanteo Chart daily album chart, selling 247,295 copies."

"COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" sold 247,295 copies on its release day alone, the highest first-day sales for a rookie debuting this year. This achievement is especially significant given the large number of comebacks by major artists.

Cortis's popularity is also evident on international charts. As of 10 a.m. on the 9th, "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" had charted on iTunes Top Albums in 18 countries and regions, including Japan, the United States, and Canada. Furthermore, it ranked first in Singapore and ranked in the top 10 in nine countries and regions, including Thailand and Taiwan, kicking off its global success.

The debut album's intro track, "GO!", is also gaining popularity. As of 11 p.m. on the 8th, it ranked 71st on Bugs' Real-Time Top 100. It's highly unusual for a rookie boy group to enter domestic music charts with a track from their album.

The official music video for the follow-up song "FaSHioN," released on the HYBE Labels YouTube channel at 6 PM on the 8th, surpassed 1 million views within 12 hours.

Building on this momentum, Cortis will present a conceptual performance film for "FaSHioN" on the 9th at 6 PM.
