K-pop’s rising stars continue to make waves in Japan. IVE, TWS, and CORTIS have all received major certifications from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), highlighting their growing popularity in the market.
IVE earned Platinum status for their track “Accendio,” while TWS and CORTIS each secured Gold certifications for their latest releases. These achievements are especially impressive considering the competitive Japanese music industry and the relatively short time these groups have been active.
According to the IVE Wikipedia page, the six-member girl group has quickly become one of the leading 4th-generation acts with strong international appeal, and this certification further solidifies their presence in Japan.
