The group Cortis is achieving the most remarkable results among rookies who debuted this year with their debut album. Cortis attracted great attention even before their debut with the label "younger brother group of BTS and TXT," and they took their first step into the music industry on August 18. They are proving their potential and presence simultaneously by demonstrating their skills and results that meet expectations.

Cortis's debut album, Color Outside the Lines, ranked first in first-week album sales among rookies who debuted this year. This album showed strong power by ranking fourth in the highest first-week sales for K-pop group debut albums in history. Their digital music achievements are also noteworthy. On Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform, three songs—"What You Want," "Go!," and "Passion"—took the top spot consecutively on the Daily Viral Songs Global chart. In particular, "Go!" held the number one position on Korea's Apple Music "Today's Top 100" for four consecutive days. Cortis is also the only boy group that debuted this year to appear on Melon's daily chart.

They also achieved remarkable results on U.S. charts. Cortis's debut album ranked 15th on the Billboard 200, the main album chart in the U.S. "Go!" entered the Global 200 chart, and both "Go!" and "Passion" entered the Global (excluding U.S.) chart, proving their digital music power. According to the latest charts released by Billboard on October 11, Cortis's debut album Color Outside the Lines ranked 2nd on the World Albums chart, 24th on the Top Current Albums chart, and 27th on the Top Album Sales chart, signaling long-lasting popularity.

Cortis is a "young creator crew" that directly creates music, choreography, and videos, consisting of five members all in their teens. They showcase their creative abilities in various fields such as songwriting, composing, performance, and videography based on their own stories. Their distinctive feature is that all five members work in a "joint creation" manner without being limited to specific positions. By participating in the entire album production process, Cortis revealed their unique musical colors and raised expectations for their growth potential with outstanding completeness.

Before their debut, Cortis attracted attention with the title of being the younger brothers of BTS and TXT, but after debuting, they proved their skills by captivating global fans with music, choreography, and videos they created themselves. Since BTS and TXT are loved worldwide, the label could have been a burden, but they have rather used it as motivation to firmly establish the name "Cortis" among K-pop listeners, not just as "someone's younger brother."

Having secured first-week sales records, domestic and international chart achievements, and global responses, Cortis is highly likely to continue this momentum and expand their reputation beyond being the "younger brothers of BTS and TXT." Cortis's trajectory is expected to play an important role in writing a new chapter in K-pop history. They plan to continue their musical achievements and expand their global fanbase going forward.
