Hee, all signs point to Melanie having a boyfriend! Well, at least she's used - among her zillion hashtags - the tags #boyfriend and #couple.







Here's the culprit's instagram, a 18 yo Korean-American, I guess? Also using the #couples tag for this pic with Mel, so... maybe!

So, unless trolling, seems pretty likely.

And rest of the Instagramspam.

Tia hosting a new show on KBS World. Some cute dorky moments, naturally.

[Stryfe]

Remember this girl? The trainee who appeared as an actress in Chocolat's Black Tinkerbell MV?

That whole Lori Thomas debuting thing got people initially speculating she'd debut... as a new member of Chocolat, haha.

Well, now... she actually IS joining Chocolat.






She appeared on Arirang radio's "Music Access" with Tia and confirmed it. So, Chocolat got even halfier.





Just awkward smiles from Lori... must be nervous.





That's better. She is a rather attractive individual, but that's about the extent of my knowledge. Her Twitter, Instagram and Ask.fm.

[Stryfe]

Another pic from the Arirang radio site. This time with a nice smile.






Another shot with the girls from Tia's instagram... speaking of which...










Might as well catch up.






Couple more eps of "Three Colors of Korea" if you wanna see Tia dorking it up.

[Stryfe]

Eps 4 and 5 of Three Colors of Dork Korea. Dorky gifs follow:

Tia modeling... in wedding photographs. Bit early, but so are most things with her, I suppose.

[Stryfe]

More dork. So many good moments... penguins, bong hits, crazy eyes. Good times.









More pics of Tia & Lori at Arirang Radio studios... Tia sure loves that expression.

[Stryfe]

Episode 8 of Dorky Host Show feat. Korean segments. This week there's T-ara in the kpop feature, though.





So of course Tia gets her Numbanya on! Good times (and more gifs later).

[Gag Halfrunt]

The super stalker fans at the forum that shall not be named have discovered that Jaeyoon is now a jazz singer and supposedly has a new "Gangnam" nose.

In other Chocolat news, Melanie and her "#boyfriend" are apparently no longer a "#couple".

And Tia, Lori and NUEST's Aron have been spouting stupid twaddle on Arirang radio about how it's better to have guy friends because girls are backstabbing b*tches but boys have got the "bro code".

[Stryfe]

Nothing new in Chocolat land, really... but at least someone's keeping busy.






Tia's been on this show called Section TV getting tiny bits of airtime and being her gorgeous dorky self.






And Juliane's been appearing on Dream Team on occasion, killing everyone in swimming and gladiator combat.

[vlinorman]

Have they disbanded?

[Stryfe]

Not officially, or unofficially. They're just... not doing anything. That's how most kpop groups die, I guess. Slowly fading into obscurity.

But who knows, maybe one day...

[DeathRealm]

I thought they were doing good and had a huge fan base. Didn't know it was that bad or are they disbanding for other reasons?

[Stryfe]

"Nod if you love Jesus"



 

I thought they were doing good and had a huge fan base. Didn't know it was that bad or are they disbanding for other reasons?

Like I said, there's never been any talk about disbanding. In fact the last time there were any announcements regarding Chocolat was when Lori joined the group. Well, at least that's what Tia and Lori claimed in the Arirang radio show appearances.

Since then, I have no idea... there was never any promo stuff with Lori, nothing TRULY official. Everything else is just rumours and random comments some fans interpret as gospel.

Also I have no idea how big their fan base is. I've never imagined it being that large, though... their Korean sales and chart positions are quite modest.

[Stryfe]

Tia's styling on this week's Section TV was just too damn adorable.






Just fleeting moments. The gfycat url is one of my faves... 

[Gag Halfrunt]

The folks at the forum that must not be named are distressed because Tia's Instagram bio no longer mentions Chocolat.

In other Chocolat news, Tia had her 18th birthday.

[Blazun]

I don't think I'd be surprised if they really did disband. None of their songs made a huge impact, they were okay, just that.

[Gag Halfrunt]

In case anyone's still interested, Tia is going to Penn State University, and someone on that other forum said that Juliane is reportedly working at a smoothie shop.
