POCKETDOL STUDIO announces its position regarding BAE173 Doha's exclusive contract lawsuit, saying the member's attitude was dishonest

POCKETDOL STUDIO announced on the 7th that they will be leaving their position regarding the exclusive contract dispute involving Doha (real name Na Gyumin), a member of the boy group BAE173.
Doha recently left POCKETDOL due to settlement issues, the company's worsening financial situation, the unilateral suspension of activities, and a breakdown in trust.
filed a lawsuit against STUDIO to reaffirm the invalidity of the Exclusive Contract and filed a provisional disposition to suspend its validity.
The day before, Doha posted on her SNS account, "It was very unreasonable for me to accept this. The planned activities were decided unilaterally by the company, not by my will.
In response to this, POCKETDOL STUDIO issued a statement saying, "The suspension of activities is not a unilateral measure, but an insincere attitude.
The decision was made based on a series of factors, including sudden actions at the scene."
STUDIO has provided objective evidence, such as emails and messengers, to support this.
POCKETDOL STUDIO said, "We plan to clarify the exact facts through legal proceedings in the future," and added, "Fans
Regarding BAE173's activities, they said, "The current overseas tour and team activities are proceeding as planned.
The members are focusing on the performance in order to keep their promise to their fans." POCKETDOL STUDIO's statement is as follows:
First of all, we apologize for bringing such bad news to all the fans who support BAE173.
POCKETDOL STUDIO has confirmed the contents of the article related to "BAE173" member Doha (real name Na Gyumin) that was reported by the media on November 6, 2025.
The attorney hereby presents the facts as follows: Doha recently filed a lawsuit against the management office to confirm the non-existence of the exclusive contract and to apply for a provisional injunction to suspend the exclusive contract.
Regarding the claims regarding the provision of accounting statements, POCKETDOL STUDIO has been sending accounting statements to "BAE173" members by email on a quarterly basis. Doha has also been sending detailed statements.
We have received the statement, and in April 2025, a parent requested that we change their email address. However, due to a lack of personnel, such as the departure of a person in charge, the statement was not sent immediately.
We then went through the settlement inspection process and finally delivered the settlement statement in October. We would like to make it clear that this was not an official oversight, but rather a delay due to an administrative error.
The suspension of activities was not a unilateral measure, but was based on a cumulative series of reasons, including dishonest behavior and sudden actions on-site.
During the audition program "Starlight Boys," the production team made several requests to the management office for improvements and solutions regarding their dishonest attitudes.
However, considering Doha's difficulties, they considered dropping out midway, but in the end, he expressed his desire to continue appearing. However, the situation continued to be difficult to improve.
At a fan event, he left without prior consultation, and in the process, he made abusive remarks at the venue, creating an unpleasant situation in the presence of fans.
The company also recognized the seriousness of the situation on the ground and requested the management office to make improvements. In addition, during the artist's active period, the managers and staff of the management office will be working not only on weekdays but also on weekends.
They also work from early morning until late at night, supporting the site and working day and night for all schedules, including the Music Program and fan autographing sessions. Despite this, the management office has not yet approved the additional costs for this.
However, in the process, they may make unrealistic and unreasonable demands, such as "the days when the manager is not working must be deducted from the settlement items."
The manager is a full-time employee and does not understand the work structure, so it is virtually impossible to accept. Furthermore, up until now, the staff and related parties have been very sensitive to Doha's words, actions and attitudes.
We have received many complaints that they have suffered as a result of this. We plan to secure all objective evidence, such as text messages and messengers, to support this and submit it to court.
This is a measure to clarify the facts regarding one-sided claims. We are disappointed that Doha posted related content on her social media accounts on the 6th.
We plan to clarify the exact facts through legal proceedings in the future. The current overseas tour and team activities are proceeding as scheduled without any changes, and the other members are responding to the fans' concerns.
We are focusing on our performances to keep our promise to you all. We would like to once again deeply apologize for causing concern to our fans.
