원치 않는 신체 접촉도 있었다고 밝혔습니다.
"불려간 술자리에서 신체접촉이 있었다"
"공항에서 술을 마신 채 팔짱을 끼고 끌어안았다"는 증언도 나왔습니다.#오메가엑스 #OMEGA_X pic.twitter.com/NwYhDs8bVV
The members revealed that there was unwanted physical contact.
"She called me to drink and there was some unwanted physical contact"
"She linked her arms and hugged me at the airport as if she was drunk"
--
CEO Kang: If I go to hell, I'll drag your parents to go with me.
Member A: "There are times where I question myself, 'Why did I have to work like this?'. I didn't have the time to practice or have a me-time because I was often called to drink"
If the members complain, CEO Kang would threaten them. She would posts pictures of sleeping pills or alcohol, even messages that sound like a suicide letter, in the group chat that consists of the members and staff.
Lawyer: I think the act of causing fear could legally be considered a criminal threat. On the other hand, if the members feel uncomfortable when she touches their thighs, it could be considered sexual assault.

YTN Star obtained the messages in the group chat that consist of Omega X's members and Spire Ent.'s representatives. Below is the situation in the group chat when the 'LA Controversy' was spread on the internet:
CEO Kang: Don't be so loud, just send me off quietly
Reps Hwang: CEO Kang went to kill herself. I have given up on everything too.
CEO Kang threatened the members that she would kill herself. On the same day, CEO Kang also texted "I took sleeping pills" along with a picture of her will, etc to Omega X's members. Representative Hwang played along with CEO Kang's threat, giving pressure to Omega X's members

Omega X, "We are having a hard time, it feels like dying" ... Another suspicions of mistreatment
On the same day, Kang CEO pulled a member who was having a panic attack until he fell to the ground. At the time, there were some fans who filmed the whole situation and spread it on the internet. Strangely, Kang CEO shifted the blame to the members. Not only she abruptly canceled the members' return flight tickets, but she also knocked on the members' hotel room non-stop until dawn and caused a fuss until the local police had to be dispatched to stop her.
Co-CEO Hwang speaks up, "I acknowledge that what CEO Kang did was wrong. It is can not be accepted." Omega X's members were called 'ill-mannered' and threatened that there will be a blood bath once they arrive in South Korea. Omega X's members reveal, "CEO Kang did not only act like that on tour." A member says, "CEO Kang often calls us late at night and talks for 1 to 2 hours. She also keeps us sending texts and if we don't reply to her texts, she would get angry. This is when the anxiety disorder symptoms get worse"
Not only this, but Omega X's company also made the members lie about not having COVID-19 during the tour and forced them to perform. Both CEO Kang and Co-CEO Kang knew that 4 of the members' COVID-19 self-diagnostic tests came back positive, but the members were asked to hide that and were told to "Arm yourself mentally" and forced to perform the next day. The two members did the rehearsal but unfortunately were not able to go on stage due to high fever.
It is reported that 4 of Omega X's members are currently getting treatment for anxiety disorder, insomnia, etc
The company's representative told SBS Reporter, "The company has officially apologized. CEO Kang is being responsible for what she has caused and now has resigned from the company.' The reps didn't mention anything about other allegations.
Spire Entertainment is also reported to have sent statements of accounts to the members and claimed that each of them owes the company up to 300-400M KRW in unpaid fees.
-The members owe the company up to 300 to 400M KRW in unpaid fees? What does that mean? They're in debt?
-It shocks me to know that this kind of company still exists...
-Is she crazy??? She sounds like a f*cking psycho. This is violence.
-I'm getting goosebumps all over my body
-How could they hide the fact that the members tested positive of COVID-19??
-She sounds like a lunatic person... It's terrifying
-Is she mentally ill...? Even if she sues the members, I don't think she'll win anyway
-This is very horrible and saddening...
-What is she doing to the boys who are desperate to make their dreams come true...
-I'm sure she's mentally ill at this point... I feel really bad for the members...

Omega X, the group who was assaulted by their CEO, recently released their statement letter.
Hello.
We made this post to thank all the fans who have always loved and supported us and also to speak up about the current situation.
Due to pressure from Spire Entertainment, we have already signed a contract and agreed that 'If we post on SNS without any discussion with the company, we should take both civil and criminal legal responsibility'. We ask for your understanding, because even though we want to communicate with fans as soon as possible, we still have to be cautious until we figure out our position in Spire Entertainment.
Although there were happy times since we started our activities as a group, we also went through some hard times. As our suffering was recently shared for the whole world to see, we are concerned that everything we have accomplished so far will disappear like foams. Right now, we have decided to put our fear behind us and gather up some courage.
This group was a second chance for the eleven of us, who have gone through difficult times and did not give up on making our dreams come true.
The reason why we did not give up and were able to take on a new challenge is the fans who are waiting and supporting us. Thanks to our fans, we were able to endure these past 2 years. There were days that we got poor treatment from our company to the point that it made us want to cry, but then we would remember the chants and supportive messages from our fans. That was the only thing that gave us the strength to endure.
We plan to follow our dreams until the end, just like now. We will be back on stage with good music and performance. The most precious things in this world to us are the eleven of us who have the same goals and fans who we share the same dreams with and we never want to lose them again.
We would like to apologize for the delay in providing this update, causing people to worry and wait. Thank you for reading the sincerity that we have gathered up the courage to write.
Thank you.
OX.

I'm worried because they have signed contract and agreed that they have to take both civil and legal responsibility to everything that they post without any discussions with the company.
Isn't this crazy?
Looks like they can't use their official account, judging by how they created a new account to post this...
-It's really terrifying to think that this still happens in 2022...
-Did they leave their company?
-I will be rooting for you. I hope they can be back on stage with good feelings. I wish them all the happiness in this world.
-I feel really bad for them. I hope this case will be solved as soon as possible.
-Does that mean they're still going to continue working for that company?
-Does that mean they're moving out from that company?? Are they going to continue promoting as Omega X??
-I'm not a fan, but I keep thinking of them and worried for them... I hope they can solve this case as soon as possible.
-This is really upsetting...
-Judging by how it took them awhile to update their fans, it looks like they already consulted with their lawyers. I'm rooting for them.
-I'm not a fan, but this letter really breaks my heart...
-That means they were silenced because of the contract...
-I'm not a fan, but that picture brings tears to my eyes... Hang in there, guys...

The pictures that Omega X's violent CEO posted on the internet
Fact. And evidence. You can lie, but I have the truth with me. #Lies.
XX: I just checked now because I had no signal earlier. CEO-nim, I know I was wrong and I admit it's my fault. I am currently reflecting and regretting my mistake. I'll make sure nothing like this happens again in the future.
CEO: No, you can't die. Lying is an incurable illness. Your lies really sound like the truth. That's the type of people I hate the most.
XX: CEO-nim, I deeply apologize. I know nothing can make up or excuse for my mistakes, but I am really sorry. I will make sure nothing like this happens again in the future.
CEO: No. You're not a person.
XX: I will continue to reflect on my mistakes
XX: I know, CEO-nim. Hang in there. Anyway, it must've been hard for you.
CEO: I'm glad it happened, though. This incident makes it clear who's at fault and who's not.
XX: Sure. There are a lot of things you have thoughtfully planned, though.
CEO: This is the process to make that come true. I think this is something that I should go through at least once.
XX: Sure. It must've been hard for you, CEO-nim. I hope you hang in there.

애들 회사 대표님이 애들 때리는 거 봤어
진짜로 손이 너무 떨려서 어떻게 해야 될지 모르겠어 애들이 눈앞에서 맞고 있는데 아무것도 못해 pic.twitter.com/vJEqNPzx5n
My world is falling apart because it's really clear how poorly she treats the idols throughout the whole US tour. How could someone push another person just like that? Is she a human?
The group's name is Omega X. Fans said they accidentally met them.
CEO: Did you (inaudible)?? Have you ever taken care of me when I'm having a hard time?
CEO: Do you want me to stop?
Member: (Inaudible)
CEO: What? Who do you think you are?
Member: XX was about to faint
CEO: I have fainted!!
(According to the person who recorded this clip, the CEO pushed a member so hard that he 'flew')
CEO: Stand up
I don't know if it's the fans or the idols, but somebody was heard crying
P.S: All of the members in this group either have debuted before or participated in a survival show
(1TEAM, participants of Produce 101 S2, Seven O'clock, Snooper, Spectrum, Limitless, ENOis, participants of Under Nineteen)
-This is the same group that was seen getting yelled at by their CEO in the airport not too long ago, right?
-The way the fan holds her breath as she cries totally breaks my heartㅠㅠ
-Oh Gosh... I couldn't bring myself to play the clip after reading the texts...
-Crazy b*tch, why should the members take care of her?? Is she sick in the head?
-That's really terrifying. Idols are human too.
-I'm not a fan of Omega X, but that clip brings tears to my eyes. Are we really living in 2022?
-Whoa... You trust someone like that to run a company?
-I can't believe companies like that still exist these days. I hope they'd let go of the members from their companyㅠㅠ Do you really want to do that to someone who has bet on their lives and worked so hard to reach this point?
-Just imagine how worse she could be when there are no people around...
-Please just let go of the boys if that's how you're going to treat themㅠㅠ They're not your emotional dump truck...
-Does she really think that idols are their CEO's slaves? This is assault and it's a serious crime.
-This sends chills all over my body... Why is she acting like that?? These idols are not your slaves.
-That is really serious...ㅠㅠ I don't think this is her first or second time doing that to the idols.
Omega X couldn't fly back to South Korea ... "Their flight tickets were abruptly canceled"
Omega X, who is currently becoming the talk of the town after receiving assault and verbal abuse by their CEO, is reported to have failed to make their return back to South Korea after finishing their U.S tour.
Omega X's members were planned to fly back to South Korea from Los Angeles on the 23rd. However, their flight tickets were abruptly canceled shortly after clips of the CEO assaulting and verbally abusing one of the members spread widely on the internet.
All 11 members of Omega X were unable to board, but the staff members were reported to have boarded on flight and returned back to South Korea as planned. This raised concerns for the safety of the members.
Regarding this matter, the CEO talked to an SBS reporter in a phone call, "We have discussed their flight cancellations since 3 days ago. It was canceled because their seats on the flight could be mixed with fans. It is not true that they were detained in the US".
The CEO also clarified allegations about assault and verbal abuse, "It is a one-sided claim spread by anti-fans. I haven't slept for days, it's really difficult for me to the point that my nose even bled. I was just upset that the members didn't comfort and take care of me. I usually treat them politely, I talk to them in a formal manner on daily basis"
When asked about the people who witnessed the CEO assaulting and verbally abusing the member, Spire Ent.'s reps claimed, "Omega X's members and the company were evaluating the tour after it ended. There was some point where they talked about how they truly felt about each other. It got emotional and voices were raised. Every misunderstanding have been cleared"
Omega X performed in LA as their US tour ended. They went on a South American tour, starting in New York on the 4th, and performed in 11 different cities. Omega X is an 11-members group that debuted in June 2021 under Spire Entertainment. They released a full album 'Story Written in Music' this June.

-I'm really worried about the members after reading this article
-I mean... Why do you expect the members to comfort and take care of you in the first place? Isn't that a personal matter that she has to take care of on her own?
-Since when do artists have to comfort and take care of their CEO?ㅋㅋㅋㅋWhat kind of bullshit is that?
-You are the one who should be taking care of the members, not the other way around.
-She should be seeking comfort from her husband, not from male idolsㅋㅋㅋ
-I hope they send the sick member to the hospital...
-Just because you're the CEO, doesn't mean they have to treat you like their parents.
-I don't know these guys, I have never seen their faces, but I'm really worried about them right now.
-The recording has been spread widely on the internet and look at her now, she still lies and claims that she didn't do anything wrong.
-The recording is all over the internet right nowㅋㅋㅋ I think the CEO is sick in the head. Why should they take care of their CEO?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Look at how shameless she sounded in the interview.
-The members are still young, though. I wonder how old the CEO is.
-This crazy b*tch should be going to therapist instead of beating up people.
-The members' parents must be really heartbroken to hear this...ㅠㅠㅠ
-How are they going to fly back to South Korea if all the staffs have already returned home?ㅠㅠ
-Hul... This gets me goosebumps all over my body. I feel bad for the idols.
