Kaachi (presented as KAACHI; ) was a British girl group created by FrontRow Records. They made their debut on 15 April 2020 with the digital track "Your Turn." Initially consisting of four members, Dani exited the group on 23 July 2021, followed by Coco's departure on 3 September 2022.

The ensemble officially dissolved on 28 February 2023 after Nicole and Chunseo, the remaining members, left the group.

On August 11, 2023, Coco, Nicole, and Chunseo reunited under the name ATTI, releasing their pre-debut single "Blue." Their formal debut occurred on October 6, 2023, with the EP Peaches, led by the single "Regeneration."

Formation and Pre-debut

FrontRow Records established Kaachi in January 2020. The original members—Nicole, Dani, Chunseo, and KG—previously performed together in UJJN, a British K-pop dance cover ensemble. KG departed due to personal reasons in January and was succeeded by Miso. Before their official debut, Kaachi showcased "Your Turn" at London's Super Kpop Weekends event on 29 February 2020. Miso left in March 2020 and was replaced by Coco.

2020–2023: Releases, Member Changes, and Disbandment

In February 2020, FrontRow Records revealed Kaachi’s debut single "Your Turn," which was released on 15 April 2020; its accompanying music video premiered on 29 April. The song combined elements of Europop, K-Pop, and hip-hop but received criticism from some K-Pop enthusiasts due to the members’ limited training backgrounds and the fact that three of four members lacked Korean heritage. Despite this backlash, Kaachi was recognized for introducing a globalized interpretation of K-Pop. Producer Monica Lee addressed circulating rumors about the group's formation and behavior through a YouTube video. On 26 May 2020, Channel 4 aired a mini-documentary focusing on Kaachi’s challenges during their debut video production, which sparked further debate regarding their preparedness. Additionally, allegations of plagiarism negatively impacted their public image.

Kaachi announced a comeback on 24 September 2020 with the pre-release single "Photo Magic," intended as part of their first mini-album scheduled for release in 2021. In October, they performed at Joy Ruckus Club’s Asian-American virtual music festival. The single and its video launched on 4 November; critics described it as blending British grime with hip-hop beats and dynamic K-Pop energy. On New Year’s Day 2021, they performed "Photo Magic" during London’s annual parade. Spanish-language versions of both "Your Turn" and "Photo Magic" were released on 30 June.

Dani’s contract concluded on 23 July 2021; FrontRow Records confirmed her exit while she also announced her departure via social media platforms. The trio released their third single, "The One Thing," on 19 August. Kaachi appeared at Joy Ruckus Club’s New Beginnings with K-Pop Superfest on 27 August where they debuted "Extra Special," which officially became available on 2 September. Their fifth single, a cover of Baby Vox’s "Get Up," was issued alongside a music video on 25 October; this song had been performed earlier at the same festival. The group also delivered a live rendition of "Get Up" at London’s New Year’s Day Parade in 2022.

In July 2022, Kaachi took part in TLP Summer Con held in Tenerife. On 2 September that year, Coco departed to focus on a solo career; this was confirmed through announcements from both the group and Coco herself via social media. In November, Kaachi participated in STAR IZ BORN—a virtual reality K-Pop festival hosted within the Metaverse.

On January 1, 2023, the remaining duo performed "The One Thing" during London’s New Year’s Day Parade. The group officially disbanded on February 28, following Nicole and Chunseo’s exit from both the band and their label.

Post-disbandment, Nicole, Chunseo (also known as Ruth), and Coco have continued working together independently under the name ATTI.
