They sold 2.31M copies in their recent first week sales 

People are forcing their hate on them but

The receipt for of over 1 million copies sold exclusively through "group purchases" by members' Chinese fans has surfaced

(Receipts fully available)

It's rare these days to find Chinese group purchases where individual members are listed so clearly and all receipts are available.

Many fans who use Chinese platforms even have already felt the impact of CORTIS on Douyin and Xiaohongshu quite strongly.

The members' individual fancam views all surpassed 80K 

And they even have a burst of Korean comments, so they have good reactions domestically too

And last year at MAMA, everyone was shocked at how loud their singalong was

original post: here

1. They're getting hate because their agency is HYBE, but they're really making an impact with their popularity... They're the ones who started the sagging trend among idols not long ago, and their YCC and REDRED challenges all trended

2. They're so popular among the academies students, I'm saying this as a part-timer working at an academy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're also popular among my friends 

3. It's because the OCC (old creator crew) are triggered

4. Honestly they're rising, and it's funny to see everyone pissed off ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I hope they succeed even more in the future

5. How do people believe a single thing coming out from HYBE...? People really seem to have collective intelligence issue to believe that the receipts are real just because they've been uploaded. It would be something else if the company wasn't caught doing mass purchases, but they're known to do this over there

6. Look at this know-how wow 

7. Huh? Just look at the comments here and you can tell it's the exact same tactic they used to make BTS famous with the sajaegi?

8. Huh? Look at them unleashing the popular for pretending to be popular tactic!

9. First of all, I like them. It's the first time I'm liking a group after 10 years of being in the idol industry 

10. They remind me of BTS, once the ARMY domestically all got gathered together, they started expanding overseas

11. So a I the only one who's never heard of these people?

12. It's because TheQoo is filled with OCC 

13. I can understand that they're rising idols, but why are they shoved down our throats like that?

14. CORTIS-ah, please save HYBE's stocks 

15. I'm a 01'er, am I considered old...? Seriously I'm impressed people even call them "popular"
