Spire Entertainment made shocking claims against OMEGA X members.
On March 19, Spire Entertainment’s CEO, Hwang Sung Woo, and his legal representatives held a press conference. The CEO prefaced the press conference by informing media members that they would be releasing proof exonerating his wife and former CEO of sexual assault allegations.
Despite being a victim, the previous CEO, Kang, did not want to make the young OMEGA X member a felon and, therefore, hesitated to release the video. However, due to the worsening false allegations, she has decided to release the CCTV footage of her being molested.

While revealing the video, Hwang Sun Woo explained the circumstances that led up to the assault taking place.
I was out drinking with the members who were drafted into the military. At the time, Kang was working late in the office because of the group’s U.S. and Japan tours. When Kang realized we were drunk, she cleaned up after us. Hwichan then asked to speak with Kang separately. He told her he was heartbroken to have to go to the military when he prepared for his debut since Middle School. He asked Kang to help him push back his military service. Kang was consoling him and told him she would try to find a way.

Hwang Sung Woo then played the video. In the disturbing footage, Hwichan could be seen forcing himself onto Kang and pulling up her shirt.
He also is seen putting his hands under her shirt. When Kang tried to stop Hwichan, Hwang Sung Woo claimed that Hwichan used force to continue his assault.
Hwichan didn’t stop and used his strength to continue his molestation of Kang. Kang, who feared for her safety, calmly de-escalated the situation so as not to provoke him.

Hwang Sung Woo continued stating that they had internal discussions to kick the member out and call the police, but that they had instead decided to stop his promotions after the idol’s tour. The CEO also revealed that the footage was shown to other members as well.
Hwang Sung Woo then claimed it was then that the members, realizing they wouldn’t be able to continue under the label for much longer, colluded to find a way out of their contract.
Due to this incident, the 11 members realized that their future promotions were in jeopardy and started to make reasons (to leave the label). Not long after, they held a press conference claiming that they were physically and sexually abused.

Meanwhile, OMEGA X has been contacted for comment but has stated they would release a statement soon.
