FAQ / Q&A
Q: What is the CORTIS Ball GREENGREEN_playextended edition? A: It's the plush-album edition of GREENGREEN_playextended — the extended version of CORTIS's 2nd EP, releasing August 24, 2026 under Big Hit Music (HYBE, distributed by YG PLUS). Each copy pairs the album (on mini CD-R) with an 80mm plush CORTIS Ball character in your choice of four versions — Baby Pink, Baby Blue, Baby Yellow, or Baby White — plus a plush egg shell (145×85mm), a tiny birthday hat, a windowed display box set, a sticker sheet, postcard, and a complete 6-photocard set. The _playextended edition adds the new tracks "PACK IT UP" and "MONEYMONEYMONEY" to the GREENGREEN program. It is fully chart-eligible.
Q: What is a CORTIS Ball? Is it a plush keyring? A: The CORTIS Ball is CORTIS's plush ball character line — this generation is an 80×80×80mm fluffy ball creature with a birthday hat, hatching from a plush egg shell. Fans often search the Balls as "plush keyrings" (the original GREENGREEN Balls — TNT, Redred, and Acai versions — traveled on bags everywhere); the exact attachment hardware on the Baby Balls will be confirmed from final product at stock intake, and this page will be updated with it. Either way: it's a real plush, not a printed stand-in.
Q: What is the difference between GREENGREEN and GREENGREEN_playextended? A: GREENGREEN is CORTIS's 2nd EP (May 4, 2026; title track "REDRED"; 2.31 million first-week copies, their first million-seller). GREENGREEN_playextended (August 24, 2026) is its official extension: the same EP program plus two new tracks, "PACK IT UP" and "MONEYMONEYMONEY," which were written during the GREENGREEN sessions and premiered live at the tour's BIRTHDAY PARTY show — hence this edition's entire hatching-birthday concept. The Baby Ball versions (this page) are _playextended editions; the TNT/Redred/Acai Balls belong to the original release.
Q: What are the inclusions in the CORTIS Ball edition? A: Twelve items: outbox (100×140×100mm), windowed inner box (98×138×58mm), the CORTIS Ball plush (80×80×80mm), plush egg shell (145×85mm), birthday hat (40×24mm), hangtag (40×52.5mm), sticker sheet (80×80mm), mini CD-R (80×80mm) with sleeve (85×85mm), postcard (80×80mm), photocard sleeve (60×90mm), and a complete set of 6 photocards (55×85mm).
Q: Are the photocards random? A: No — every copy includes the complete 6-photocard set (55×85mm), with designs matching your chosen version. Nothing in this product is random: you pick your Ball version at checkout, and every inclusion is fixed. A K-pop purchase with zero gambling; the Baby Balls come in peace.
Q: What is the difference between the four Ball versions? A: The plush. Baby Pink, Baby Blue, Baby Yellow (the chick), and Baby White are four different Ball characters — each with its own inner-box art, sleeve colors, and version photocard designs. The album, egg shell format, and item structure are identical. You choose your version; OT4 collectors know what the display shelf demands.
Q: Does the CORTIS Ball edition count toward Hanteo and Billboard? A: Yes — 100%. It contains the full album on mini CD-R, making it a genuine album release (not standalone merch): purchases apply to US Billboard, Apple, HANTEO, CIRCLE (GAON), and Music Bank charts, exactly like every other GREENGREEN_playextended edition.
Q: What is a mini CD and will it play in my car? A: The disc is an 8cm mini CD-R (80×80mm) — smaller than a standard CD. It will NOT work in slot-loading drives: car stereos, Mac SuperDrives, and game consoles will jam and can be damaged. Use a tray-loading CD player or computer drive only. The album counts toward charts regardless of playback, and purchases can't be refunded over player compatibility.
Q: When does GREENGREEN_playextended release, and when do pre-orders open? A: The album releases Monday, August 24, 2026 (12AM KST) per Big Hit Music's official notice. Distributor pre-order opening for the CORTIS Ball editions is being confirmed — email support@kpop.exchange with "CORTIS BALL NOTIFY" to be alerted the moment orders open here.
Q: How do I clean the CORTIS Ball plush? A: Surface-clean only: spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap if needed, then air dry fully. No machine washing, no dryer, no soaking — plush fur and the hat's trim won't survive it. For display, keep out of direct sunlight to protect the pastel colors.
Q: Who are CORTIS? A: CORTIS (코르티스) is a five-member self-producing boy group under Big Hit Music (HYBE): Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, and Keonho. They debuted August 18, 2025 with COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES, and their 2nd EP GREENGREEN (2026) became their first million-seller — 2,313,291 first-week copies, a Circle Chart No. 1, and a Billboard 200 No. 3 debut with 13 weeks on the chart. The members write, compose, choreograph, and creative-direct their own work. Their fandom is COER.
Q: Can I cancel my pre-order? A: No. Albums cannot be cancelled or refunded once processed. All sales are final — including for mini CD player-compatibility reasons. Minor plush manufacturing variation is not a defect.
Q: How long does shipping take? A: 3–7 business days from Denver, Colorado once your order is processed (pre-orders ship after the August 24, 2026 release). Tracking included, no customs fees for US buyers.
