According to Hanteo Chart, the album sold 436,367 copies within a week of its release. This is the highest initial sales record among groups that debuted this year. Additionally, it ranks as the 4th highest first-week sales for a K-pop group debut album in history.

In particular, "What You Want" held the top spot on Spotify's "Daily Viral Songs Global" chart for a week straight. "GO!" maintained 1st place for three consecutive days, gaining popularity. CORTIS is gaining attention as the group launched by BigHit Music about six years after BTS and TXT.
The growth of CORTIS is regarded as an example showing the potential of rookie groups in the K-pop market. From the early stages of their debut, they have recorded strong album sales and music chart performances, raising expectations for their future activities. Attention is focused on the impact CORTIS's future path will have on the K-pop industry.
