ChoA: Former AOA member turned to become a YouTuber, his current income is shocking

ChoA is known as a former member of one of the prominent music groups of Korean showbiz - AOA. Recently, she surprised by revealing her current income from being a content creator.

Park Cho-a, also known by his stage name ChoA, born on March 6, 1990 in Incheon (South Korea) is a South Korean idol singer and musical actor. She used to be the leader of the AOA group managed by FNC Entertainment.

Before becoming an idol, ChoA had a desire to study music at university but her father did not agree, so she studied Aviation Business Administration at Inha Technical College.

The first step in becoming an idol for ChoA was when he met Juniel and told her about FNC's audition for their new girl group, AOA. At first, her family objected to her dream of becoming a singer but later they agreed when they realized that she inherited her musical talent from her mother, who majored in piano. And ChoA has also been playing guitar for 3 years.

On July 30, 2012, ChoA officially debuted as an AOA member. On June 12, 2013, the female idol announced that she would play the female lead, Gabriella in the musical "High School Musical". At the same time, FNC also revealed a picture of her practicing the duet song "Start of Something New".

ChoA said that she wanted to portray Gabriella as sincerely as possible. The musical lasts from July 2 to September 1 at Blue Square, Samsung Card Hall, Seoul. On March 16, 2014, idol 9x released a solo OST for TV Chosun, the TV series Bride of the Century.

After that, ChoA appeared as a new actor on MBC's show "My Little Television" and left the show in 2015. She also became a model for the 2015 NBA sports brand S/S, the first images released were colorful and sporty.

On March 25, 2015, ChoA became one of the permanent MCs for MBC We Got Married. On June 6 of the same year, she became a new model for 'Alba Heaven' with Yoo Byung-jae. On July 22, the female idol collaborated with Primary and Iron for the new song "Don't be shy".

The full song and music video featuring ChoA were released on July 24. On June 23, 2017, AOA's management company suddenly announced that ChoA would leave the group. After that, the female idol almost withdrew from the entertainment market. In August 2020, she signed with Great M Entertainment - a company founded by Kim Young Sun, who was previously a founding member and CEO of FNC Entertainment.

On February 15, 2021, ChoA - a former member of AOA - appeared at a press conference to introduce tvN's entertainment program On and Off. The event also features Uhm Jung Hwa, Sung Si Kyung and Nuksal. This is the first time in four years that the singer has participated in a TV show.

As mentioned since leaving AOA, ChoA has been quite quiet and only occasionally posts singing videos on his personal page. During this event, the idol wore light makeup, wore a white lace dress and smiled brightly in front of the media.

Fans commented that ChoA's face was different from when she was a member of the AOA group. "She seems to be gaining weight"; "I almost didn't realize ChoA, she looked so weird"; "This is ChoA, she has been absent for more than three years. She doesn't look very similar to when she was promoting with AOA, it seems to be due to her weight"... audience commented.

At the press conference, ChoA said she was curious about how her colleagues enjoyed their free time and no activities. Therefore, the female singer decided to participate in the show, although she had no intention of returning to showbiz before.

In August 2024, ChoA - the main vocalist of the once-popular girl group AOA - appeared on Running Man's eldest brother's private show, Ji Suk Jin, to share many things about himself. Also at this show, the former idol talked about the difficulties she faced after leaving AOA.

Although she wanted to start something of her own, ChoA couldn't do it because her spirit was exhausted at that time. The singer confessed that the negative comments made her so mentally hurt that she couldn't get out of bed for 3 years.

After that, ChoA gradually regained her balance to continue her work as a content creator on YouTube. Currently, her YouTube page has attracted 420 thousand followers: "Just 1 month after opening the channel, I have about 300 thousand followers. This really gives me more motivation to continue."

Notably, the former idol also revealed the income of a YouTuber: "I think I make more money than when I was active with AOA". Ji Suk Jin was surprised because AOA is a group with quite a lot of hits, but ChoA explained, "I didn't get paid much when I was in AOA partly because I left in the middle. By the time I left the group, AOA was gradually making profits for the company...".

Netizens were surprised by ChoA's sharing because when she was still active, AOA was still one of the prominent music groups of Korean showbiz. A series of hits associated with AOA's name all feature ChoA's voice such as Miniskirt, Like A Cat, Heart Attack, Good Luck, Excuse Me...
