This latest win comes at the perfect time — right after CORTIS topped the [May Rising Star Brand Reputation Rankings](https://technosports.co.in/may-rising-star-brand-reputation-rankings/) with a 409% surge, landed on the [Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2026 list](https://technosports.co.in/idol-forbes-30-under-30/), and dominated the [Billboard World Albums chart](https://technosports.co.in/cortis-billboard-world-albums/) alongside NMIXX, [Stray Kids](https://technosports.co.in/stray-kids-easy-100-million-views/), TXT, ENHYPEN and NewJeans. Even amid news like [(G)I-DLE’s Shuhua recovery](https://technosports.co.in/gidle-shuhua-sydney-concert-illness/), the genre keeps winning.
