Chocolat (Korean: 쇼콜라; RR: Syokolla), commonly stylized as ChoColat, was a South Korean girl group created by Paramount Music in 2011. The group's name stems from the idea that each member is reminiscent of a different type of chocolate. The name of the group was initially going to be "Chocolate", but there was already a group with that name, so Paramount Music decided to use the French word chocolat instead.^[1] The group consists of a total of five former members: Jaeyoon, Min Soa, Juliane, Tia and Melanie. The group became inactive in 2013. After four-year of hiatus with a little group activity, Melanie confirmed in an interview that the group members' contracts had concluded in February 2017 and the group had disbanded.^[2]
