Initially, the group was a dance cover team, known for their risque, provocative performance styles, which would lead them to go viral in 2015, with fancams of Goeun attracting millions of views.
A choreography video with the full studio version of "Hello" would be posted however, neither song was ever released.
On July 20, 2016, Laysha made their first comeback as four members with the single "Chocolate Cream", gaining more recognition in the K-Pop community as well as gaining millions of views on their official MV, which has been called one of the sexiest K-Pop music videos.
