고진아 Reporter

The group Cortis has surpassed 3 million album sales for their mini second album 'Green Green' just 11 weeks after release, achieving the remarkable record of becoming the second "triple million seller" in South Korea in 2026, following BTS.

According to their agency Big Hit Music on the 23rd, Cortis's mini second album 'Green Green' has recorded cumulative sales of 3.099 million copies as of today, once again proving the explosive power of K-pop fandom. This achievement was reached just 11 weeks after the album's release on May 4th, making it the second album released in South Korea in 2026 to achieve triple million seller status, following BTS's regular 5th album 'Arirang'. On Circle Chart's latest weekly album chart (tallied July 12-18), 'Green Green' has also maintained a consistent top ranking, contributing to this cumulative sales achievement.

Along with album sales, the title track 'Red Red' has also achieved simultaneous success by dominating major domestic music charts. 'Red Red' has maintained top positions on major domestic music charts such as Melon, establishing itself as a long-running hit song beloved over an extended period. Displaying overwhelming results in both albums and music charts, Cortis has solidified its position as a top K-pop group in every sense.

Activities on the global stage beyond South Korea have also been announced. Cortis plans to hold the 'Put Your Phone Down' tour across six North American cities including Toronto, Canada and San Francisco, USA from August 4th to 16th. This tour is expected to be an important opportunity to directly communicate with fans worldwide and further expand their global fandom.

Cortis's achievement of this 'triple million seller' status has breathed new vitality into the K-pop market and once again reinforced their unique standing. It remains to be seen whether Cortis, which has established a solid position in the domestic music market, will expand their global fandom through the upcoming North American tour and write a new chapter in K-pop history.
