Not one to usual share twitter threads of drama but this isn’t just drama, this is public mental and physical abuse. This is abuse of power and this is not right.

I don’t care if you don’t know them, don’t stan or even don’t like them. Either way this is wrong and something needs to be done. 

Please share this, please keep an eye on the situation and please please support Omega X in whatever direction this may go

FUCK SPIRE

For X and non-Omega X fans, please reblog and sign this petition requesting that the Korea Creative Content Agency and Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency launch an immediate investigation into the alleged physical, verbal, and emotional abuse experienced by the members of Omega X. 

Here is a twitter thread detailing what we know so far.

OMEGA X's CEO allegedly sexually harassed the group, made them attend drinking parties and forced members who were sick with COVID to perform in concerts.

Rolling Stone India breaks it down in this thorough timeline of events. I would say the abuse is worse than that Korean Airlines chaebol's bat-shit crazy Nut Rage incident. OMEGA X has gotten legal representation and would like to extract themselves from their binding contract. I hope they also seek mental health care treatment for the abuse they suffered. This all reminds me of a quote that former Royal Pirates bassist (and current solo artist) James Lee gave me for a VARIETY article: “It had been so conditioned in me (by management) to work through pain and never give up. The glory of becoming a K-pop idol is so enticing. But the penalty can be hell.”

[Trigger Warning: abuse]

A tweet from @/hwi_418 was posted today (10/23 5:48AM EST/2:48AM PST) with an audio clip that allegedly is of a Spire Entertainment staff member verbally and physically abusing one or more members of OMEGA X.

Tweet Here.

A rough translation of the audio can be found below (cr. @/j6hyun Tweet Here.)

HOWEVER, it is not confirmed that the staff yelling at them is the CEO. It is thought that the member being yelled at is Hangyeom, and he is saying Jaehan is about to faint/collapse.

Additionally, a thread was posted by @/jsmgryu on 10/4 (2:27AM EST) about an incident that allegedly occurred in the Chilean airport (and their hotel) as OMEGA X was making their way to New York for the first stop of the USA leg of their tour.

"when she was having breakfast, she saw two boys (members of omega x) that were being yelled at by a woman (who she believes it's the manager or smth like that)."

"after that she saw them again in the airport, while waiting for the flight, and the same woman was yelling at them in front of everyone. my mom and her friends couldn't believe it and she told the woman to stop yelling at them. then the woman left and nothing else happened, but she told me the members bowed at her as a thank you."

View the entire thread here.

With these two public incidents, along with the issues with Code1 Entertainment and MC Entertainment, and the issue of the social media ban back in August (more on that here), FOR X are incredibly concerned about the well-being and safety of the OMEGA X members.

Currently we await a statement from the company about today's allegations. I ask that you all spread the word about this so more people know, and so Spire won't get away with the mistreatment of these boys. We must hold them accountable and demand that they make the safety of their artists the number one priority.

Thank you.

What makes all this Omega X stuff worse is that from everyone I’ve heard who has met them/worked with them is that they are incredibly sweet and kind. If their CEO does this in public? What does she do behind the scenes? 

I’m so upset for them, this is not okay

That was so hard to watch and hear....

But im so damn proud of omega x for standing up like that and telling their experiences. Because that is so brave and they're really giving a voice to people who don't have one. And just... the strength that those boys have...

I really hope that this sparks a change, because we all know how badly that industry needs it. And we need to rally behind them to keep this momentum for justice for them and every other idol and trainee put in extremely volatile situations that they have zero control of..
