CORTIS, aespa, TWS, BABYMONSTER, LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, And More Earn Circle Million And Platinum Certifications
Circle Chart has announced its latest batch of official certifications!
In 2018, the Korea Music Content Industry Association implemented a new certification system for album sales, song downloads, and online streaming. Starting with music released on or after January 1, 2018, Circle Chart now certifies albums platinum once they reach 250,000 sales, while albums that have sold a million copies or more receive a “million” certification.
This month, CORTIS earned two separate certifications for their latest EP “GREENGREEN.” The group received an official double million certification for selling over 2 million copies of the regular version of the album, while the Weverse version was certified double platinum for over 500,000 copies sold.
Meanwhile, aespa’s latest album “LEMONADE” and TWS’s 2025 mini album “play hard” were both certified triple platinum for selling over 750,000 copies each.
BABYMONSTER also received two certifications for their latest mini album “CHOOM.” The regular version of the EP was certified double platinum for over 500,000 copies sold, while the Nemo version was certified platinum for over 250,000 copies sold.
LE SSERAFIM’s “PUREFLOW” pt.1, ILLIT’s “I’LL LIKE YOU,” and AND2BLE’s “Sequence 01: Curiosity” were all certified double platinum for selling over 500,000 copies each.
Finally, ITZY’s “Motto,” ZEROBASEONE’s “Ascend-,” NMIXX’s “Heavy Serenade,” NCT’s Taeyong’s “WYLD,” XLOV’s “I,God,” CRAVITY’s “ReDeFINE,” and the Weverse version of NewJeans’ “Supernatural” were all certified platinum for selling over 250,000 copies each.

CRAVITY’s Woobin To Have Limited Participation In Upcoming Album Promotions Due To Musical Commitments
CRAVITY’s Woobin will be sitting out parts of the group’s upcoming album promotions due to prior commitments to his currently ongoing musical.
On April 23, CRAVITY’s agency STARSHIP Entertainment announced that Woobin will not be able to participate in some content related to the group’s upcoming album due to his role as Romeo in the musical “Romeo & Juliette.” Additionally, he will also be unable to take part in certain promotional activities due to overlapping schedules.
Read the agency’s full statement below:
Hello, this is STARSHIP Entertainment.
We would like to sincerely thank all the fans who continuously send their unwavering love and support to CRAVITY. We would like to provide information regarding member Woobin’s participation in activities for CRAVITY’s 8th EP ‘ReDeFINE,’ scheduled for release on April 29.
Woobin is currently continuing his performances as ‘Romeo’ in the musical ‘Romeo & Juliette.’ Due to preparations and the performance schedule for the musical, we held thorough discussions with the production team, and in consideration of maintaining the quality of the stage, Woobin was unable to participate in some of the content related to this album.
Additionally, due to previously confirmed musical schedules, we ask for your understanding that he may not be able to participate in certain album promotion activities. Details regarding his participation will be announced at a later date depending on the schedule.
We will continue to fully support Woobin so that he can show his best in both CRAVITY’s album activities and his musical performances.
We kindly ask for your warm support and encouragement for all nine members of CRAVITY.
