It was revealed that OMEGA X had been assaulted by the CEO of their agency several times.
In a video posted online, after a post-concert dinner, CEO Kang of boy group OMEGA X’s agency, said to OMEGA X members, “Why do you think XXs like you deserve to be loved by people? XXs who don’t know what it means to be getting loved.”
CEO Kang yelled at member Jaehan (27), who was sitting down with symptoms of panic, saying, “Get up. If you get sick like this every day, stop being an idol.” The member next to him said, “CEO, stop it.” But CEO Kang continued to force Jaehan to stand up, saying, “I know how many times I fell down. It hurts to death. I stayed up all night, even if I was sick to death.”
It is reported that CEO Kang’s abusive language continued even after they arrived at the hotel.
When Taedong (24) tried to move Jaehan in front of the elevator, Kang shouted, “You did this to me. Did you take care of me when I was having such a hard time?” Taedong said, “(Jaehan) collapsed..” As he protested, Kang said, “I’m already down.” She then pulled Jaehan’s collar and knocked him down to the floor.
In the process, fans also saw Jaehan sobbing until he got up from the floor and got into the elevator.
In a phone call with SBS entertainment news reporters, CEO Kang denied the allegations of abuse against OMEGA X members, saying, “I never yelled at the members nor did I assault them.” She went on to explain, saying, “I sat down in front of the hotel elevator and Jaehan also sat down. I was really upset, so I said, ‘Have you ever protected me?Did you protect me when I was having a hard time?’”
OMEGA X is an 11-member K-pop group, composed of members who debuted in idol groups such as Spectrum, Snuper, Limitless, Seven O’Clock, ENOI, 1TEAM, and Under 19, but they didn’t achieve success so they re-debuted in the music industry.
OMEGA X recently finished their tour in 12 cities across North America over a total of 20 days through South America. The agency unilaterally canceled their return flight to Korea, so the group is currently staying in the US.
