BAE173’s Nam Dohyon Wins Lawsuit To Suspend Contract With PocketDol Studio

Jun 22, 2023

BAE173’s Nam Dohyon has won the lawsuit to suspend his contract with PocketDol Studio.

Previously in April, it was reported that Nam Dohyon filed an application for provisional injunction asking for the suspension of his exclusive contract against his agency PocketDol Studio. Nam Dohyon filed for an injunction due to differences in opinion with the agency regarding the fulfillment of exclusive contract obligations.

On June 23, Nam Dohyon shared his official statement regarding his contract:

"Hello. This is singer Nam Dohyon.

I felt apologetic and sorry that I could not convey news despite many fans being curious and worried due to my hiatus. After long consideration, I requested to suspend my exclusive contract with my agency in March. And now, I would like to inform you that the court has decided to uphold all of my application. Through the court’s decision, I will be able to newly partake in activities.

Through this opportunity, I want to express my gratitude to everyone who supported my activities from my debut in 2019 until now. Above all, I am sincerely grateful to fans who gave me so much undeserved love. I am really thankful to the members that I worked together with until now, and I will always cheer them on.

Although I have yet to decide any detailed plans for my new musical activities, I promise to return as the improved musician Nam Dohyon. Please show lots of anticipation and support going forward.

From Nam Dohyon."

Nam Dohyon, who first debuted as a member of the “Produce X 101” project group X1 in 2019, went on to make his debut as a member of BAE173 in 2020. In October of last year, he was announced to go on hiatus from BAE173 activities due to health concerns. In the recent JTBC idol competition show “Peak Time,” BAE173 participated as Team 13:00 without Nam Dohyon.

Wishing the best for Nam Dohyon going forward!
