CORTIS GREENGREEN Pre-Orders Reached 2.39 Million Before May 4 Release

CORTIS GREENGREEN pre-orders reached 2,397,188 copies as of April 30, ahead of the second EP’s official release on May 4, 2026 at 6 p.m. KST. The figure, cited by distributors YG Plus and Universal Records, put the release near 2.4 million stock pre-orders before the album arrived through official channels.¹

The pre-order campaign began on March 27, 2026 at 11 a.m. KST through online and offline retailers, following BIGHIT MUSIC’s official notice for CORTIS’ second EP. The same notice set separate regional windows, including a Korean pre-order period through May 3 and a US/EU retailer pre-order period from March 26 to May 7 EDT.²

CORTIS GREENGREEN Pre-Order Timeline

BIGHIT MUSIC first confirmed the EP release schedule through Weverse, announcing that CORTIS would release its second EP, GREENGREEN, on May 4, 2026 at 6 p.m. KST. The same release notice also set the lead single release for April 20, 2026 at 6 p.m. KST and said detailed pre-order information would be issued separately.³

The separate pre-order notice provided the sales structure. GREENGREEN was made available for reservation from March 27 at 11 a.m. KST through online and offline retailers, with versions listed as BRIDGE, STREET, STUDIO, Weverse Albums, Dice and Vinyl.² The Korean pre-order period ended on May 3, one day before the EP’s official release, while the US/EU retailer pre-order window was listed from March 26 to May 7 EDT.²

By May 2, StarNews reported that GREENGREEN’s stock pre-orders had reached 2,397,188 copies as of April 30. The report said reservations had passed about 1.22 million copies seven days after opening and about 2.02 million copies after 18 days, with additional demand following the April 20 release of the lead single REDRED.⁴

The April 20 media showcase at YES24 Live Hall in Seoul had already indicated strong early demand. Korea Economic Daily reported that the EP had surpassed 2.02 million pre-orders by that point, while CORTIS’ debut album had exceeded 2.06 million cumulative sales.⁵

Release-Day Figures And Album Details

Asia Economy reported on May 4 that GREENGREEN would be released at 6 p.m. with six tracks led by REDRED. The report also said five of the six tracks have music videos, and that the video for TNT would be posted on HYBE LABELS at the album’s release time.¹

StarNews also reported on May 4 that the EP includes six songs and noted member participation in music, video and choreography. The same report repeated the 2,397,188 stock pre-order figure as of April 30.⁶

The album description released through press material characterized the project as one that “pursues raw naturalness without being tied to a particular concept or genre,” in BIGHIT MUSIC’s wording.¹ The quote aligns with the release coverage’s emphasis on the album’s stated creative direction, while the available source material does not provide a full official track-by-track explanation beyond the reported six-song format and REDRED as the lead track.

The pre-order figure is a stock pre-order count, a distribution-side measure reflecting album stock orders before release. The sources identify YG Plus and Universal Records in connection with the 2,397,188-copy total as of April 30.¹ The available reports do not state final first-day sales or total consumer purchases for GREENGREEN.
