Well, then again, we don’t call them idols for no reason. These days, there are a lot of K-pop idols who try out something new, such as becoming an actor or actress, after becoming a singer. For example, Cha Eunwoo from ASTRO, Sejeong, an ex-Gugudan and I.O.I member, D.O from EXO, Park Hyungsik, and Im Siwan who was once a member of a group called ZE:A, and a lot of other idols have debuted on the small screen after debuting as an idol. But, this one idol that we’re going to talk about in this article is the reverse. He didn’t debut as an idol first. Instead, he made appearances in some dramas or CFs before he showed up on TV as a member of a K-pop boy group. Who’s this guy, actually? Yep, he’s BAE173‘s Doha!

Doha was born and raised in Daegu, South Korea, on March 7, 2004. Doha was born as the firstborn in the family; he has a younger brother who is three years younger than him. As a kid, Doha gained experience as a transfer student. He transferred to another school while in elementary school and in middle school. When he was a child, Doha was cast in an audition to star in a drama. His very first drama was in 2009 where he starred in a drama called Soul which aired on MBC. At that time, he was only 5 years old, or 6 years old in Korean age. Many more drama opportunities came to him, and Doha started to learn to act better.

Until 2015, Doha had starred in a lot of dramas and even movies. He also starred in some commercials. One day, an agency asked him to join their company to be a trainee. This wasn’t the first time for Doha to be cast on the street. But, this time, he accepted the opportunity. The child actor was now grown up and would take the risk to be an idol.
