Okay, so who actually is Nicole ‘Coco’ Cha on Members Only: Palm Beach?
She's got something to say about Gale Brophy
If you’re watching Members Only: Palm Beach and suddenly wondering who Coco is and why she looks like she fully owns the room, you’re definitely not alone.
Nicole ‘Coco’ Cha isn’t given a big dramatic intro or a long backstory moment, but honestly, that’s kind of her whole thing.
She drifts in and out of scenes like someone who doesn’t need to explain herself at all. And in Palm Beach society, that usually means you’re there for a reason.
She comes across as polished, well-connected, and completely at ease in exclusive spaces. She’s not chasing camera time or pushing herself to the front, but once you clock her, it’s impossible to ignore that she’s literally everywhere!
Coco is besties with the Palm Beach ladies

First things first: Coco isn’t one of the five headline cast members Netflix centers the show around.
But she is firmly in their inner circle. She’s very much a ‘friend-of’ who feels natural, not forced. You know the type who’s not auditioning for drama, just genuinely woven into the group.
On the show and IRL, Coco is closely connected to several of the Palm Beach women, especially Taja Abitbol.
Their friendship doesn’t read as transactional or camera-driven, it’s giving real social ties, real invitations, real history. And that matters on a show like this, where authenticity, even among couture gowns and champagne flutes, is kind of the whole point.
In Palm Beach culture, friendship equals access. Coco being around consistently signals that she’s trusted, welcomed, and socially established, no newbie energy here!
She’s at all the events

If Members Only: Palm Beach teaches us anything, it’s that life here revolves around events. Charity luncheons. Private club parties. Birthdays that somehow look like Vogue editorials. And Coco? She’s always there, of course.
She shows up at premieres, society celebrations, and cast-adjacent gatherings like it’s her full-time job, but effortlessly. No try-hard vibes, no overdressed-for-attention energy. She blends in because she belongs there, which honestly makes her stand out more.
This is very classic Palm Beach socialite behaviour… you don’t explain your presence, you just arrive. Coco embodies that unspoken hierarchy where the guest list says more than a résumé ever could.
Okay, here’s where it gets juicy, but grounded. Coco’s public profile describes her as a luxury expert, pianist, socialite, and philanthropist, with ties to Palm Beach and Seoul. It’s giving cultured, global, and very intentional personal branding.
Is she breaking down her day-to-day on the Netflix show? No. But that mystery kind of works in her favour. Coco represents the side of Palm Beach life where people don’t over-explain their wealth, taste, or connections. You’re either in the room or you’re not.
And honestly? That understated confidence fits the show’s vibe perfectly!
She knows Gale personally
One thing Coco has been very clear about off-screen? She actually knows Gale Brophy in real life, and she’s not here for the internet dogpiling.
After a moment from the show started circulating online, Coco shared that she knows Gale personally and described her as genuinely sweet, calling her the MVP of the season and asking people not to make fun of her.
Instead of stirring the pot, she steps in like that one friend who reminds everyone there’s a real person behind the edit.
She doesn’t deny that reality TV moments can look messy, but she adds context, empathy, and a little perspective. In a show built on sharp social dynamics and even sharper commentary, Coco quietly choosing kindness feels intentional.
And let’s be real, defending someone when the internet is dragging them is a move that says a lot about where Coco stands socially.
She’s not chasing viral moments, she’s protecting her people. Which, in Palm Beach terms, might be the most powerful position of all.
