Boy group CORTIS is turning heads with lifestyle-inspired, out-of-the-box physical albums.
On May 31, via global superfan platform Weverse, CORTIS announced the Lip Balm ver. of their 2nd mini album 'GREENGREEN' tied to the track 'Blue Lips'.
Inspired by the new song 'Blue Lips', this merch-style album comes in an actual lip balm format. The package includes a lip balm, a mini CD, photo cards, and stickers, all tucked into a special clear case engraved with the team logo.
The Dice ver. also dropped, shaped like a die. Matching the album’s name, the green 20-sided die features the title track 'REDRED' and quirky phrases lifted from the members’ way of speaking on each face. Roll it, and instead of numbers you get lyric snippets like "Not my problem" and "So gullible, so gullible."
The CORTIS Ball ver., a plush-style release, is slated for July 16 in three colors—red, black, and purple. Each color represents 'REDRED', 'TNT', and 'ACAI', with a reimagined team-logo design and an ultra-soft feel. Fans can customize it to their taste using accessory materials like thread and fabric.
Meanwhile, 'GREENGREEN' sold 2,518,122 copies on the Hanteo Chart in May, ranking No. 1 for the month, and reached No. 3 on the 'Billboard 200' (chart dated May 23).
