Chocolat denies plastic surgery rumors: "We are 100% natural beauties"

There's a hot new girl group in town, and they just released their debut digital single "Syndrome" on August 17th. Chocolat-- a five-member girl group, three of which have American fathers and Korean mothers -- made headlines for being bi-racial members, but that's not all there is to these girls. When they sat down for an interview with StarIn, they stated, "If we thought we were going to be "just another girl group", we wouldn't have even started this whole thing". They continued, "All five of us are very unique individuals and we possess different talents. The five of us together make a powerful group." Jae Yoon (20) is the main vocalist, Min Soa (22) can sing a range of different musical styles including Korean Trot, Tia (15) can dance freestyle to any genre of music, Juliane (18) has great vocal tone, and Melanie (15) has a great sense of humor and brings in a lot of energy into the group. As talented as they are, Chocolat is afraid that people will have preconceived notions about them because they are a bi-racial group. Since the girls are also pretty, they are a bit worried people will stereotype them as a group who focuses on looks, rather than talent. Melanie, Tia, and Juliane are of mixed race and they're not sure how they will handle the attention they'll receive based on the fact that they look different from most Korean girl groups. "We are thankful for the extra attention, however, we want people to know that we too are Korean and we don't want to be treated any differently." Jae Yoon and Min Soa also stated, "None of us have ever gone under the knife. We are 100% natural beauties. People think otherwise because we are mixed, but we really haven't gotten any plastic surgery. Our agency's president told us no, anyway." Chocolat states that although there is a lot of pressure, they are enjoying it. "Expectations are high for us so we were worried we wouldn't be able to live up to them. But we are working hard so that we do not disappoint. " They concluded, "We don't want to stop at Korea; we want our names to be known all over the world. That's our main goal. ...In the beginning, we worried we wouldn't be able to pull this off, or we wouldn't be successful. But the important thing is that we won't give up until we're known worldwide. We want to show you everything we've prepared so far. Watch out for Chocolat!" Source: SPN via Nate
