I doubt she's Korean, as the name doesn't seem similar to any Korean 
names I've heard.  Of course, I heard a rumor that Korean pop star 
BoA (she's quite a good singer and is supposed to be fluent in 
English) was going to be cast as Cho Chang, which may be where the 
Korean  theory started, but that doesn't mean that JKR intended Cho 
to be Korean.

I suspect that Cho was meant to be Chinese.

Now Macha:
I was terribly surprised to read that Cho was Korean as her (surname) sounded more distinctly Chinese...I read that information in a JKR interview- she didn't seem to be indicating that this information had anything to do with casting but more of a statement of Cho's ethnicity.
