Their unique choreography combined with evocative and engaging songs has helped them build a strong fanbase. Thus, they are positioning themselves as more than just an idol group, but as true musical artists.
Notably, the increase in monthly listeners on Spotify serves as a crucial indication of K-pop's global presence. This suggests that fans are warmly embracing this new artist's music. In the case of CORTIS, it's clear that their musical style resonates positively with a diverse audience worldwide.
Additionally, CORTIS's invitation to headline the NBA Crossover Concert will provide an opportunity to further expand their global influence. This is a strong sign that they can grow even more in overseas markets, building on their success in the K-pop industry.
