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.

IVE, TWS & CORTIS Certification Breakdown (July 2026)

Artist	Release	Certification	Milestone
IVE	“Accendio”	Platinum	250,000+ units
TWS	“Last Festival”	Gold	100,000+ units
CORTIS	“GreenGreen”	Gold	100,000+ units

Reaching these numbers in Japan is no easy feat. IVE’s consistent hits and strong promotions clearly paid off, while TWS and CORTIS are showing impressive early momentum as rising 5th-generation groups.

These certifications not only celebrate their hard work but also open doors for bigger promotions, festivals, and potential arena tours in Japan. It’s a proud moment for all three teams and their dedicated fans.
