Echo (sometimes stylized as 'ECHO') is the most popular K-pop group in the company 'ACE .ent.' / 'Area Concept Entertainment'. The group is made up of 8 members that all have some previous connection to K-pop. The idea of Echo had been around since around 2018. The whole idea of Echo was to create a more American influenced K-pop group that had more lyrically invested music. ACE wanted to create a unique group with a unique concept to match. They also wanted to add familiar faces and get people talking about the group even if it meant doing some questionable/controversial/different things.

The first member to be added to Echo was Jo Serim/Onda from the group EVERGLOW. Onda is still in EVERGLOW but it hasn't affected her negatively. Onda has always been given the smallest roles in EVERGLOW, not getting the same amount of screen time and little to no lines. The second member added to the Echo lineup was Seo Soo-jin who was previously a member of (G)-IDLE. She left (G)-IDLE on the 4th of March (the same year EVERGLOW made their last comeback) due to allegations of former bullying. The third member to be added to the lineup is Denise Kim who was previously in the group Secret Number. She left Secret Number on the 1st of February 2022 due to the end of her agreement with Vine Entertainment. Kim Jiho was the fourth member to be added. Jiho was previously on the group OH MY GIRL, she left on the 9th of May in 2022 due to her contract ending. The fifth member to be added to the lineup is Ella from Pixy. Both Ella and Satbyeol left Pixy on the 27th of August 2022, both due to health concerns. Ella's health has gotten a lot better since and she chose to join Echo when she was given the chance. Satbyeol was also given the chance to join Echo but she declined the offer. The sixth member to be added to Echo was Chuu who was previously in the group LOONA. She was removed from the group on the 25th of November in 2022 due to 'violent language' and 'misuse of power'. The seventh member to be added to the lineup was Mina Myoung who is a choreographer who makes related videos on YouTube. The last member to be added to the lineup was Moon Jinsil/Jinsil who has previously been a backup dancer for many different K-pop groups including BlackPink.

All the members have vocal roles as well as their selected roles. Onda has the roles of lead dancer and main visual. Soo-jin has the role of rapper. Denise has the role of main vocalist. Jiho takes the role of lead visual. Ella is the leader and center. Chuu is the lead vocalist. Mina is the choreographer for a lot of the dancers for the title tracks and is the maknae of the group. Jinsil is the main dancer and gets the longest time for dance breaks.

Echo officially began their music career with their debut mini album 'Echoed out' which was released on the 15th of May (2023). Eight teasers (one for each member) was uploaded on ACE's official channels (in late March/Early April) with the demo version of 'Butterfly Effect' as the backtrack. They sported a mix of cyber-core, Y2K with a hint of a mythical and galaxy inspired aesthetic. The mini album consisted of 6 songs. The first song (the title track) being 'Echoed'. The promotional single was the fifth track 'Launch'.
