OMEGA X Personally Thank Fans For Their Help During Spire Entertainment Abuse Scandal
Content Warning
OMEGA X are thanking FOR X (their fans) for their part in helping them stand against Spire Entertainment amidst the company’s abuse scandal.
On Wednesday, November 16, OMEGA X held a press conference with their legal representatives regarding the abuse they have endured under Spire Entertainment. Previously, a fan exposed OMEGA X’s CEO, Kang Seong Hee, physically and verbally abusing the members following their concert in Los Angeles. Spire Entertainment then released an official statement regarding the situation, and ultimately Kang resigned as CEO. Still, FOR X demanded the chairman to resign, knowing he is her husband.
Guys, I was waiting outside for the Uber Eats that I ordered, and I saw the company CEO hitting the members. I really didn’t know what to do since my hands were shaking so much. They were being hit right in front of me, but I couldn’t do anything.

CEO Kang Seong Hee: What have you guys done for me? Did you take care of me when I was having a hard time?
CEO Kang Seong Hee: Stop?
Member: [inaudible]… it was right…
CEO Kang Seong Hee: Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?
Member: [A member] is going to faint.
CEO Kang Seong Hee: I’ve already fainted before!
*sound of someone falling down*
Member: Oh!
CEO Kang Seong Hee: Get up! Now!
Member: What are you doing?!
*sound of a thud*
*sound of someone crying*
Recently, the members opened a new Instagram account regardless of their social media ban to communicate the situation to FOR X. In their personal updates, they expressed their gratitude to the fans and promised to meet again under better circumstances.
How is our FOR Xs doing? I’m sorry that I’m not able to share news daily like before. I miss those times so much. It may take some time, but we will protect OMEGA X and FOR X with the same heart and will. We won’t back down as we have built up the courage.
No matter what happens, we will do our best to stand on stage again in a good environment and image. We want to meet our fans who believe and support us until the end with a smile. FOR X we love you.
