Park Cho-a (born March 6, 1990), better known by the mononym Choa, is a South Korean idol singer and actress. She is best known as a member of the girl group AOA, which debuted in 2012 under FNC Entertainment. She has been an MC in the variety show We Got Married since March 2015.
Choa was born on March 6, 1990, in Incheon, South Korea. She wanted to major in music at university but her conservative father wanted her to get a normal job, so she enrolled in Aviation Business Administration in Inha Technical College. Her first step in becoming an idol was when she met Juniel and was told by her about FNC's auditions for their girl group, AOA. At first, her parents opposed her dream of becoming a singer but later gave her the permission after they realised that she might inherit musical talent from her mother who majored in piano. She has also played guitar for 3 years.
On July 30, 2012, Choa made her debut as a member of AOA on Mnet's M! Countdown with the song "Elvis" from their debut single album, Angels' Story.
On June 12, 2013, it was announced that Choa would play the female lead, Gabriella, in the musical High School Musical. Her agency, FNC Entertainment, revealed photos of Choa practising the duet song, "Start of Something New". Choa said that she wanted to portray Gabriella as sincerely as she could. The musical ran from July 2 to September 1 at Seoul's Blue Square Samsung Card Hall.
On March 16, 2014, Choa released a solo OST for TV Chosun's TV series Bride of the Century.
Choa appeared as a new cast member on MBC's variety show "My Little Television". She later left the show on May 19, 2015.
