Ex-idol group member Lee Hyun Ah revealed the reason behind her former group's disbandment.

On KBSN audition program 'Global Super Idol', the former member of Chocolate gave another try at the entertainment industry by auditioning for the show.

Lee Hyun Ah revealed, "Because of an incident that should have never occurred in the entertainment industry, and because it was something that a woman could feel a sense of shame about, I had to give up my dreams."

She continued, "But singing on stage is the only source of escape for me, [it's] where I felt like I could breathe, so I gathered my courage and decided to try again."

Lee Hyun Ah and the other members of Chocolate debuted under H Line Entertainment in 2010, but with rumors arising of sexual favors involving the CEO and trainees under the agency, the group had no choice but to disband and leave the company as they were swept up in a controversy they were not a part of.

In addition, Chocolate should not be confused with the still-active girl group Chocolat.
