Omega X is an 11 member boy group under Spire Entertainment. An interesting aspect of the group is that every member had previously debuted in another group. Omega X is a second chance for the members.
Right now Omega X is on a world tour and recently made a stop in LA, California. This is where many of the abuse allegations are coming from.
Recently a netizen posted an audio file of the members allegedly being abused by their CEO Kang Seong Hee.
CEO: What have you guys done for me? Did you take care of me when I was having a hard time?
CEO: Stop?
Member: [inaudible]… it was right
CEO: Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?
Member: [A member] is going to faint.
CEO: I’ve already fainted before!
*sound of someone falling down*
Member: Oh!
CEO: Get up! Now!
Member: What are you doing?!
*sound of a thud*
*sound of someone crying*
Since then other netizens have posted about other instances they have seen members being abused by their CEO.
Accusations include:
- CEO yelling at members in an airport
- CEO yelling and physically assualting members in a hotel to the point that the owner threatened to call the police
- A member being forced to sit in a hotel lobby with the CEO as a 'time out'
- A video of a member being physically assualted by the CEO
- Members not being allowed to pick up food orders/managers not picking it up for them (based on this they could be not allowed to leave their hotel rooms)
- CEO pushing a member while walking in the airport, instead of protecting them from the crowd
These articles document pretty much every instance of abuse:

Spire Entertainment, as well as the CEO, have release some pretty baffling and frustrating statements that are obviously lies.
Company Statement
Hello, this is OMEGA X’s management Spire Entertainment.
First, we would like to sincerely apologize for causing you concern with the recent news. As of October 22 (local time), OMEGA X completed their first world tour, ‘CONNECT : Don’t give up,’ in Los Angeles. Following the month-long tour, which began in Guadalajara, Mexico, on September 16 and ended in LA, USA, on October 22, we had a celebratory team-wide dinner. The conversation, which has circulated online via social media, was recorded at that dinner.
At the time, having completed all legs of the tour, the OMEGA X members and Spire Entertainment team were discussing the hard work that went into the concerts, as well as the future that is to come. During this discussion, we also talked about certain moments that caused disappointments in one another. And in doing so, the conversation got heated, and voices were raised.
Please note that we kept communicating after dinner. And Spire Entertainment and the members have since resolved all hard feelings. We have concluded to continue moving forward together, all the while being more considerate toward one another.
This past month on tour, getting to meet the fans from all around the world who love and support the members, has been an inarguably meaningful time for both OMEGA X and the managing team at Spire Entertainment. And while we have tried everything in our powers to keep our promises with the fans, we apologize for having caused such concern in the end.
Spire Entertainment would like to thank the fans again for wholeheartedly supporting OMEGA X. As the name ‘OMEGA X’ suggests, the group will continue to share and create valuable moments from the beginning to the end; And we, as the management, promise to protect both OMEGA X and the fans through these moments.
Again, we extend our sincerest apologies for the situation.
CEO Statement/Phone Call with SBS
We realized that the seats we originally booked could lead to the members sitting mixed with fans. So we talked about potentially canceling the tickets from three days ago. It is not true that we left the members behind on purpose.
It’s a one-sided allegation started by an anti-fan who is hostile toward the management.
I was exhausted because I’ve been up for several nights in a row. I even had a bloody nose because I was so tired. But the members didn’t think to make me feel better. They didn’t care about me. So I felt upset and acted out of disappointment.
Usually, I’m extremely polite toward the members. I even use honorifics when I talk to them.
Of course with every scandal like this there will be some people who make things up for clout, but I think it's pretty obvious something really wrong is happening.
I'm hoping that the Omega X members are safe and away from anyone in the company who is hurting them.
