Hidden Gems #472: Black Tinkerbell by Chocolat

In this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is Black Tinkerbell by ChoColat

This song has a little cult following among old Kpop GG songs. Tbh it's one of the best Kpop songs of all time in my opinion. The vocals are super pretty. The concept is also super unique. "Can't leave you" gets stuck in my head all the time. And the choreo in the water, just 10s all across the board. Also most of the members are biracial which is kinda interesting.

Sadly this was Chocolat's last comeback. Of course as they were starting to gain a little attention. All of the members left the company except the popular member Tia. They stupidly kept her for a long time and announced her departure from the group as if Chocolat was still alive. They've open up about the abuse they endured. Melanie is in the US now and got married and is a mom. Tia made her solo debut many years ago and hasn't released music since. Min Soa works in fashion now.

Oh.

My.

God.

Ok so I always try to say something nice about every entry but this is beyond that. They are some of the prettiest girls I've ever seen. Not even just for nugu kpop groups but like ever ever. Just look at 0:07. Why must this industry torture us by showing us perfection and then ripping it away. They keep saying they can't leave me . The water dancing is done so tastefully for a lesser-known group.

It sounds so good too. You can feel the emotion in their voices without the song being overly dramatic. It's simple but passionate and they executed it perfectly. This is one of my all-time favorites of the series and I might just be bold enough to call it #2 overall after Island.

I also love One More Day now even though I had a weird issue with it before. I don't even notice it now. Kind of like TT with the radio tuning sound. But I love that now too.

But seriously just look

yeah that's is Melanie. I think she's half white, half Korean. She and Tia look pretty similar imo. At least in this video
