Still, KAACH continued to pursue their dreams as a K-Pop group and released “Photo Magic” in November 2020…
They even started to turn haters into lovers. For example, YouTuber Johnny, who previously criticized them, actually became friends with the members.
Yet, less than a year later, it was announced Dani would be leaving the group. She decided not to renew her contract and leave KAACHI on July 23, 2021.
In August 2021, KAACHI promoted for the first time as a three-member group with the new song “One Thing.” There was not an official MV for it, though.
Shortly after, KAACHI released their fourth single, “Extra Special,” on September 2.
KAACHI then released their fifth digital single, “GET UP,” on October 25, 2021. It is a remake of Baby V.O.X‘s 1999 song of the same name.
KAACHI hadn’t been as active when KAACHI announced that Coco would be leaving the group on September 2, 2022. It was due to difficulties she faced with the company, and the statement claimed she would continue as a solo artist.
So, now KAACHI only consists of two members, Nicole and Chunseo. KAACHI has also not updated social media since last year.
So, fans are concerned for the future of KAACHI.
