Park Choa (born March 6, 1990; Korean: 박초아), better known by her stage name Choa (초아), is a South Korean idol singer and musical actress. She is best known as a member of the South Korean girl group AOA under FNC Entertainment. She is currently a cast member in the variety show We Got Married.

Biography

Choa was born on March 6, 1990, in Incheon, South Korea.[1] She wanted to major in music at university but her conservative father was hoping for her to get a normal job, so she enrolled in Aviation Business Administration in Inha Technical College. One day she met Juniel and she told Choa about FNC's auditions for their girl group, AOA. Her parents opposed her dream to become a singer but then gave her the permission since she was most likely to inherit musical talent from her mother who majored in piano. She has played guitar for 3 years.

Choa revealed that she failed SM auditions 15 times and she also failed the ones from JYP.[2]
