Following a notice of an announcement the day before, the first official promos of KKD were posted on June 13, 2021.

On June 27, 2021, they held their debut live performance at IDOL PALETTE vol.3 alongside their To Hermitage sister groups HIBANA and NEKIRU.

2022
KKD released their first original EP Only Once on March 18, 2022.

KKD held their first one-man live "Renge Sekai" on June 19. On the same day, it was announced that Mei would be going on hiatus to focus on her studies until her scheduled return in March of 2023.

Mei held her then-final performance with KKD at a special send-off live on July 16.

After Mei's departure, VIVI continued to perform as a solo idol, often in a collaboration unit with Soha. On October 25, it was announced that due to personal and academic circumstances, VIVI would also be going on hiatus following her scheduled live on November 20, with plans to return with Mei as KKD when Mei returned as planned in March of 2023. However, VIVI was unable to attend that planned final live in November due to personal circumstances.

2023
On January 17, 2023, the To Hermitage official twitter account announced that due to multiple instances of contract violations, VIVI's activities would be suspended permanently, effective immediately.

Following this, on January 31st it was announced that Mei was also suspended due to controversial actions and KKD were effectively disbanded.

A final statement on the matter followed on February 4, with Mei apologizing for her "careless words and actions" and for disappointing their fans that had been waiting for them.
