BAE173 member Doha has filed a lawsuit against his agency, seeking confirmation of the non-existence of his exclusive contract and an injunction to suspend its effect.
On the 6th, Doha stated, "There was an overwhelming amount of unfairness that I couldn't handle. Due to the company's unilateral decisions, I am unable to continue with the scheduled activities against my will."
He continued, "After much deliberation, I had to make a decision I couldn't avoid. I am sincerely sorry for causing confusion and concern to those who have been waiting."
Doha expressed his feelings towards his fellow members, saying, "I hope this situation doesn't burden my fellow members. I deeply support this activity leading to a successful outcome."
In conclusion, Doha added, "I feel heavy-hearted to greet you in such a regrettable manner. I sincerely apologize for not being able to conclude things perfectly and to everyone who has been waiting."
Recently, Doha filed a lawsuit against his agency, PocketDol Studio, regarding his exclusive contract. The reasons cited for the lawsuit include the company's financial deterioration, settlement issues, and a breakdown in trust. The agency announced in September that Doha would be halting activities due to health reasons.
Full Statement from Doha
Hello, this is Na Gyumin.
I am truly sorry to address those who have been waiting for a long time in this manner.
This was the first group I joined, and the first full album held great significance for me. I prepared sincerely and diligently, hoping to greet you again on stage.
However, there was an overwhelming amount of unfairness that I couldn't handle. Due to the company's unilateral decisions, I am unable to continue with the scheduled activities against my will. After much deliberation, I had to make a decision I couldn't avoid. It's difficult to say I'm not regretful about that choice.
I am sincerely sorry for causing confusion and concern to those who have been waiting. I hope my situation doesn't burden my fellow members. I deeply support this activity leading to a successful outcome.
I feel heavy-hearted to greet you in such a regrettable manner. I sincerely apologize for not being able to conclude things perfectly and to everyone who has been waiting.
I am sorry and grateful for always asking you to wait.
