On November 16, the eleven members of OMEGA X―JAECHAN, JUNGHOON, SEBIN, JAEHYUN, KEVIN, HWICHAN, TAEDONG, HYUK, XEN, HANGYEOM, and YECHAN―held a press conference in regard to the recent controversy surrounding their agency Spire Entertainment's mistreatment against the members.
He explained, "For the sake of our fans who trusted, supported, and waited for us, we had to endure. As the eldest member and the leader of OMEGA X, seeing my fellow members struggling and getting exhausted, I was afraid and worried that our dreams would collapse. I wanted to protect OMEGA X."
He said, "For everyone else out there receiving unfair treatments and for those who also have dreams, we decided to speak up."
In regard to the CEO Kang's abusive behavior, the members said, "She sexually harassed us, habitually, and this includes touching our thighs, holding our hands, and touching our faces, and more."
They added, "She also said things like 'If you want to keep doing OMEGA X, you better keep crawling (at my feet)', 'I'm going to kill you', and even threatened us that she will commit suicide."
Meanwhile, the members recently filed trademarks for their group name 'OMEGA X' as well as their fan club name 'FOR X', in order to keep on their group activities going outside the agency.
