According to the management company, CORTIS' official Instagram account reached 10 million followers. This achievement was only achieved 6 months after the group posted their first post in August last year, helping CORTIS become the K-pop group to reach this milestone fastest, and also the first group to debut in the past 5 years to surpass the 10 million followers mark.
Not only on Instagram, CORTIS also maintains an impressive number of followers on many other major platforms. The group currently has about 9.5 million followers on TikTok, more than 3.1 million YouTube subscribers and more than 3 million members in the global fan community on Weverse. These figures show the high level of international audience interest in the group even though the operating time is not long.
CORTIS's rapid growth is said to stem from high recognition after releasing their debut album "Color Outside the Lines" in September last year. Although the official promotional period has ended, the group's performances at many award ceremonies in and outside of Korea still create a spreading effect on social networks, contributing to maintaining interaction and attracting more new fans.
Recently, CORTIS's followers growth rate continued to increase sharply thanks to the attraction from the North American market. The group became the first Korean artist to play the role of main artist in the "NBA Crossover Concert Series" concert series, and also performed in the middle of the hour at the "2026 Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game" match. These stages help the group reach a large international audience, creating a new wave of interest on online platforms.
CORTIS's influence has also expanded to many fields outside of music. The group is considered a typical face of Gen Z culture with trendy fashion and image styles. Thanks to that, CORTIS has cooperated with many major brands and organizations such as Apple, NBA, MLB, Red Bull and Acuvue, and has also participated in other entertainment projects, including games and movies.
With the current development momentum, experts believe that CORTIS has the potential to continue to expand its global influence, especially if the group maintains an effective digital content strategy and international activities in the coming time.
