ECHO released their pre-debut single on January 08, 2024 at 6pm KST under KQ Entertainment surprising national fans of their previous group AETHER. Though it was expected that the four members under KQ Entertainment would redebut as a new group, KQ Entertainment did not promote their initial release and did the bare minimum for their official debut album "ECHO:FRESH" released on January 15, 2024 with the lead single "Armageddon". Despite this, the group managed to get over 500,000 pre-orders and wrapped at around 870,000 additional sold copies within the first 24 hours becoming a million seller right from their redebut. The music video for "Supernova" became their fastest music video in 2024 to reach 100 million views, doing so within 10 days. "Armageddon" continued the success, hitting the 100 million views milestone around 1 month after its initial release. Both singles were beloved by the public and the groups new fans, peaking at #1 and #2 at multiple charts. While both tracks also entered the western music market, only "supernova" was able to make a lasting impact, staying in the top 5 of the Hot 100 Billboards Chart for over 10 weeks.
In May 2024, KQ Entertainment announced the groups first comeback with their first extended play "SPICY" to happen in June of the same year. After getting over 600,000 pre-ordered copies, the album with the same named title track released on June 17, 2024. The Album received mainly positive critics, sparking high interest in the group nationally and internationally. "SPICY" continued to live on to the success of the groups previous releases, becoming their third music viceo to have over 100 million copies within the first month of release. Additionally, the album sold over 1,5 million copies, making them a triple million seller with just 2 releases.
