The group CORTIS, which is accelerating its global expansion, has been named to the U.S. Billboard's list of the 'Most Influential Artists Under 21.' According to the Billboard '21 Under 21' list released on July 31, CORTIS was the only K-pop boy group to earn the honor this year. The ranking is selected annually by comprehensively evaluating quantitative data such as album sales, streaming figures, and social media metrics, as well as industry impact. This selection is yet another result that proves the explosive global popularity CORTIS has demonstrated. Following their debut album 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES' released last year, which ranked 15th on the Billboard 200 chart, the group reached third place on the same chart with their second mini-album 'GREENGREEN' in May of this year, proving their remarkable growth. In particular, the title track from their second mini-album, 'REDRED,' has been ranked on Billboard's main charts, 'Global 200' and 'Global (Excl. U.S.),' for 13 consecutive weeks, continuing its long-running success. In addition, it has firmly held the number one spot on Spotify's 'Weekly Top Songs South Korea' chart for 14 consecutive weeks. Meanwhile, CORTIS's momentum continues. On July 31, they released the digital single 'MOTION (feat. Juicy J),' featuring the famous American hip-hop artist Juicy J. Then, on August 1, they will take the stage for a solo performance at the major music festival 'Lollapalooza Chicago' held in Chicago, USA. The performance will be broadcast live through the global fandom platform Weverse, connecting vividly with fans around the world. [Photo Credit: BIGHIT MUSIC (HYBE)]
