The group CORTIS has proven the immense power of their global fandom by landing a spot in the upper ranks of the weekly idol ranking site 'FANNSTAR'.

According to FANNSTAR’s official announcement on the 9th, CORTIS proudly ranked 17th in the preliminary voting for the highly competitive 'Best Music - Summer' category. The top spots in this category are currently held by powerhouse artists dominating the global music industry, including BTS (1st), PLAVE (2nd), and Stray Kids (3rd).

It is highly unusual for a rookie group like CORTIS to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with such prominent senior artists. Since the FANNSTAR Best Music awards are determined 100% by fan votes alone, this achievement clearly reflects the passionate, unyielding support and love CORTIS receives from their global fanbase.

CORTIS recently set a massive record with "REDRED," the title track of their 2nd mini-album, which held the #1 spot on the Apple Music chart in South Korea for 73 consecutive days—making it the longest-running chart-topper among all Korean songs released this year. True to their reputation as a 'young creator crew' who personally produce their own music, choreography, and visual content, the group is showing formidable growth by capturing both artistic merit and mainstream appeal.

The preliminary voting, which will determine who advances to the main round, will run until July 20th. With the strong backing of their global fans, the music industry is keenly watching to see how much higher CORTIS can climb in the rankings.
