HYBE announced the first artist lineup for the '2026 Weverse Con Festival' on the 11th through the global superfan platform Weverse. The first lineup features a total of 10 artists and groups: ILLIT, AHOF, &TEAM, WENDY, LEECHANGSUB, CORTIS, QWER, TOUCHED, P1Harmony, and PLAVE. PLAVE stands out as the first virtual artist to achieve million-seller status, representing a significant milestone in the virtual artist market. CORTIS, who debuted in the latter half of last year as a notable rookie group, released their debut full-length album 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES' in September and achieved remarkable success by charting at No. 15 on the U.S. Billboard 200 main album chart on their first appearance. Within six months of the album's release, they surpassed cumulative sales of 2 million copies according to Circle Chart. CORTIS will continue their momentum by signaling a new title track in April and releasing their second mini album in May. This diverse lineup spans multiple genres and generations, from global K-pop artists to rock bands, solo artists, and virtual artists, creating an exciting event for music fans worldwide.
