Lia Kim is a dancer, choreographer, and trainer hailing from South Korea.

She has also worked as a dance trainer for the biggest influencers in the South Korean entertainment industry such as JYP, YG, and SM Entertainment, as well as CJ E&M and LOEN Entertainment, earning credit to many of K-Pop's most iconic choreographies.

Lia first appeared on the dance scene as a freestyle popper and took the global popping and locking community by storm, winning numerous battles and competitions. Her style, however, transcends many boundaries. From immaculate isolations and tutting to sensual and fluid stilettos, she pushes herself endlessly to go above and beyond across all disciplines of dance. She won second place in the popping category at the "Euro Battle" held in Portugal, and she was the popping winner at the "World Dance Competition" and "POP LOCK LAIDIES." Lia has also performed at various international events. She was the opening act of the "Jarret Show" at the 2017 New York Fashion Week.

As an international choreographer, Lia has choreographed dance routines for many pop artists and bands such as TWICE, BoA, EXID, Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, Sunmi, 2NE1, miss A, Jay Park, f(x), Son Dambi, Jang Woo Hyuk, GOT7, 2PM, After School, Playback, Melody Day, WANNA.B, and Dreamcatcher. Lia has judged dance competitions and reality shows such as "Astro Battleground" and "World of Dance." She served as a judge for 2016 "World of Dance" in South Korea, and participated in "Urban Dance Camp" 2016 and "Fair Play Dance Camp" 2016 as as a main instructor. Lia was also the lead choreographer for one of singer Lee Hyori's concerts.

Coincidentally, Gachi is the same phonetically as the word 같이 or "together." The brand dedicates itself in reminding society the importance of value and worthiness in everyday life. In 2016, Korean streetwear brand KORELIMITED collaborated with GΔCHI. The collaboration was named "KORE X GΔCHI" and was the first of its kind.
