Is it possible for a K-Pop group to come from another country, let alone another continent?
KAACHI (가치 pronounced catchy) says yes.
Touted as the world’s first K-Pop group from London, KAACHI have just released their worldwide debut single ‘Your Turn’, becoming the first Euro K-Pop girl group to ever debut. ‘Your Turn’ MV has already reached 3M views on Youtube!
The 4 member girl group, made up of 3 different nationalities- Korean, Spanish and British, is here to show that K-Pop is a universal genre not limited to the small South Korean shores. So they’re not i-Pop or Euro-Pop, they really want to be known as a K-Pop Group!
Their Leader-nim and Lead Vocals is Nicole who comes from Spain. A 99’er born August 25th, she is also known for her dancing having trained in many dance styles. Nicole was in a dance company that competed in HHI (Hip Hop International) where they got 3rd place.
Coco is a Korean who moved to the UK in 2016. This 94’er is the group’s Lead Dancer and she even taught K-Pop workshops in London.
Their main rapper is Dani. Among the four members, this British Potterhead is the most fluent in speaking Korean, after Coco of course. Dani danced for the Queen of England in 2012! She also studies Graphic Design at her uni.
Chunseo (Real name: Ruth) is the group’s maknae. This half-Filipino Spaniard moved to London in 2014. She met Nicole in school where they shared their common love for K-Pop.
The group was discovered and put together after being scouted at the UK KPOP Dance Competition held in London, England in October last year and has received training at 1 Million Dance Studio, Korea’s most famous dance studio. They are also set to appear in their very own UK TV Series on Channel 4, airing this May, following their journey from ordinary girls with big dreams and aspirations to their journey of becoming K-pop stars.
What makes KAACHI different? Their music fuses Euro-pop, K-Pop, and Hip-hop making their sound distinct yet appeal to an international market. You think they can make it?
