Formed by Paramount Music in 2011, Chocolat (also known as ChoColat) was a captivating South Korean girl group. The group's name was inspired by the unique concept of comparing each member to a different type of chocolate. Originally intended to be called "Chocolate", Paramount Music opted for the French word "chocolat" due to another group already using the same name. Comprised of diverse mixed-race members, Chocolat made a splash in the K-pop scene during their active years. Unfortunately, the group officially disbanded in 2017 after their contracts concluded, as announced by member Melanie in an interview.
