Unfortunately, they instantly made a huge buzz online as K-pop fans hurled hate towards the girls. Netizens are saying that they wouldn't pass as a K-pop group. Firstly, only one member is Korean while the rest can't even speak the language. Also, online users stated that K-pop artists go through a rigorous process and long years of training to prove their skills and before they debut. However, according to netizens, KAACHI shows the opposite.

"B***H...the K in K-pop stands for Korean, NOT kaucasian - #KAACHI_DISBAND," one tweet said.
"Oh yes, girl named herself Chunseo when she's not even Korean. Just sing in English and leave K-pop for Koreans. PLEASE," another netizen said.
The girl group's debut single "Your Turn" is currently viewed by over 2.6 million YouTube subscribers. Some are claiming that out of curiosity and hate, the said girl group is claiming instant fame compared to other underrated K-pop girl groups that exist.
"Kaachi is getting that many views for a debut in four days, more than what Elris, Bvndit, Nature, Purpiebleck, Hinapia, who actually trained years and years, normally get. They are gonna get Loona, fromis_9, CLC level of views if y'all continue giving them clout," said one tweet.
