Pre-debut

Kaachi was formed in January 2020 through FrontRow Records. The original lineup consisted of members Nicole, Dani, Chunseo, and KG, all of whom were former members of UJJN, a British K-pop dance cover group. However, KG quietly departed from the group due to personal reasons sometime in January and was replaced by Miso. On 29 February 2020, Kaachi performed their debut song Your Turn prior to its release at Super Kpop Weekends in London. Miso left the group in March 2020 and was replaced by Coco.

2020-present: "Your Turn", "Photo Magic" and lineup changes

On 11 April 2020, FrontRow Records announced that Kaachi's debut song would be named "Your Turn". The single was officially released on 15 April 2020 and the music video was officially released on 29 April 2020. The song has been described as a fusion of Europop, K-Pop and hip-hop. The song was criticized by K-Pop fans over their alleged lack of training, three of the group's four members lacking Korean heritage, and for taking shortcuts in the Korean idol training process.[5] However, many also praised the group for its ground-breaking concept of K-Pop being open to people from around the globe and because the group took a new spin on the genre. On 29 April 2020, Kaachi's producer, Monica Lee, uploaded a video on YouTube to clarify the truth about Kaachi, including rumours that the group were formed by Simon Cowell and that they had made fun of other idols.[6] On 26 May 2020, Kaachi were featured in their own mini-documentary, The UK’s First K-Pop Girl Group, which was posted by Channel 4 onto the networks’ social media pages. The episode focused on the hours before and during the filming of the music video shoot of their debut single. The mini-documentary drew criticism to the girls due to them not finishing the choreography to the song until the night before the music video was filmed. Rumours had also circulated about the group plagiarising other K-Pop groups, which also drew more negative attention towards the group.[7][8]

On 24 September 2020, it was announced that Kaachi would be making their first comeback with the pre-release single "Photo Magic" in late October, which would be included on the group’s first mini-album that had been slated for a 2021 release. The group performed in Joy Ruckus Club's Asian-American virtual music festival on 17 October 2020.[9] On 4 November, their second single "Photo Magic" was released along with a music video.[10][11] The song was described as a fusion of British grime, hip-hop rhythms, and energetic K-Pop by the song’s producers. On 1 January 2021, Kaachi performed the song at the London's New Year's Day Parade.[12] Kaachi released the Spanish versions of their previous two releases, "Your Turn" and "Photo Magic", on 30 June.

On 23 July, FrontRow Records confirmed that Dani's contract had expired and that she would leave the group. On 19 August, the group released their third single "The One Thing", and their first as a trio since Dani's departure from the group.[13] Kaachi appeared at the Joy Ruckus Club's New Beginnings with K-Pop Superfest festival on 27 August, where they premiered the song "Extra Special", which would later be released officially on 2 September. On 25 October 2021, the group released their fifth single, "Get Up" along with a music video. The song is a remake of the song from Baby Vox with the same name. This song was also performed the song at the Joy Ruckus Club's New Beginnings with K-pop Superfest earlier in the year.

On 3 September 2022, Coco left the group, announcing her departure through her Instagram account and stating the reason to be due to internal conflicts with the company which caused difficulties for the parties to work together.
