Park Cho Ah, known simply as Choa, is a South Korean singer, dancer and former member of AOA (에이오에이). She graduated from Geomdan High School and later obtained an associate's degree in Aviation Management from Inha Technical College.
In April 2012, FNC Entertainment (FNC엔터테인먼트) revealed plans to debut a new group that will have a rotating concept between a girl group and a rock/indie band, with 7 members being part of both and one member being only part of the band.
She made her debut in July 2012 as the group's main vocalist and rhythm guitarist with their first single album, "Angel's Story" to very little success. The group continued to struggle early on, and FNC decided to create the sub-unit AOA BLACK (AOA 블랙), debuting in July 2013 with the single album "Moya". AOA did not find success until mid-2014 when the single "Heart Attack" became one of the most downloaded songs of 2015 and was also one of the longest-charting singles on Melon's Top 100 Chart. Afterwards, the group kept releasing successful materials.
However, in January 2017, she went on hiatus due to health reasons and never returned to the lineup. In June 2017, she decided to leave the group as she suffered from insomnia and depression.
She is currently represented by Great M Entertainment (그레이트엠 엔터테인먼트) and continues with her career as a solo artist.
