- CORTIS has rapidly hit 100 million Spotify streams with GO! and FaSHioN, making them one of the fastest-rising K-pop boy groups.
- Their debut EP, Color Outside the Lines, translated streaming popularity into great global chart performance.
- CORTIS further aims to broaden its global reach through NBA-related ventures and US entertainment channels.
CORTIS, the K-pop rookie quintet signed to BigHit Music, has reached another streaming milestone. As of Jan 18, the group's song FaSHioN, a B-side from their Sep 2025 debut EP Color Outside the Lines, had achieved 100 million cumulative Spotify streams. This becomes their second song to do so after GO! which joined the 100M stream-club in around 116 days. On the other hand, FaSHioN achieved it in about 132 days, making CORTIS one of the fastest K-pop boy groups to do so.
CORTIS' persistent listening stats reflect a larger commercial rise for the five-member act, which includes Martin, James, Juhun, Seonghyeon, and Geonho. Their EP debuted at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in Sep 2025, making it one of the top U.S. debuts for a K-pop rookie group and the best among non-project acts that year.
CORTIS Extends Momentum From Streaming to Global Markets
CORTIS’ Color Outside the Lines' streaming momentum extended beyond individual tracks to achieve continuous worldwide appeal. The EP topped 300M Spotify streams in four months, a rare feat for a freshly formed group. This traction led to physical-market popularity, especially in Japan, as the group became the only rookie K-pop artist to feature on the country’s Billboard year-end album sales chart.
CORTIS will additionally release Mention Me on Feb 13, 2026, as part of the soundtrack for the animated film GOAT, a Sony Pictures Animation project co-produced by NBA star Stephen Curry. The presence of CORTIS among global artists demonstrates a rising cross-industry interest.
The group will also perform at the NBA All-Star Week and has secured nominations at U.S. award shows like iHeartRadio, highlighting an outreach impact that blends conventional K-pop promotion with sporting and entertainment platforms. Recently, CORTIS has also joined the Friends of NBA program.
