Want To Break Contract, Doha BAE173 Sues Own Agency

Doha BAE173 (PocketDol Studio)

JAKARTA - Doha BAE173 filed a lawsuit against his agency, PocketDol Studio to terminate an exclusive contract as a member of the group. He claims there are many irregularities related to payments, the company's situation, and even sudden cessation of activities.

Doha accused the agency of not being able to provide transparency regarding its income as a member of the group. Then he did not accept it after the agency stated that he was expelled from the group on September 15 unilaterally.

When the agency released the statement, PocketDol Studio said Doha was taking a break from her activities for health reasons without Doha's determination.

The first trial related to Doha's lawsuit against the agency is scheduled for November 17 with an explanation session from both parties.

Thursday, November 6, Doha wrote a letter to her fans via Instagram using her real name, Na Gyu Min.

"I apologize to those who waited for a long time. Because this is my first group, and because this is my first album, I prepared it sincerely and effort and I hope to meet you on stage," wrote Doha.

"However, I faced an unfair situation that was too big to be detained. Unbeknownst to me, the company decided it was impossible for me to continue my activities. I was expelled without a choice. It's hard to say I have no regrets for the decision," he continued.

He apologized to fans who had to hear this news, especially to BAE173 members and hoped this situation would not disturb other members.

Previously, Nam Dohyon, another BAE173 member, also filed an exclusive contract lawsuit against PocketDol Studio. Dohyon won the lawsuit in June 2023.

Doha filed a lawsuit a few weeks after BAE173 released its first album, NEW CHAPTER: DESEAR on 23 October.
