On March 20, OMEGA X’s label, IPQ, released a shocking statement in which they refuted previous allegations claiming that member Hwichan had sexually assaulted their former CEO.

In fact, in their statement, IPQ accused former Spire Entertainment CEO Kang Seong Hee of requesting inappropriate physical contact with the members.

Once they were alone, former CEO Kang Seong Hee once again requested Hwichan touch her inappropriately, and because he was alone, he felt he had to oblige out of fear of being verbally and physically assaulted. Spire Entertainment claimed this was sexual assault, but even in the footage, Hwichan is not seen doing anything forcefully, and the former CEO does not show any resistance. Through this, you can see that the former CEO had previously made the same request and that she didn’t resist because she was the one who ordered him to touch her. After being forced to touch her, Hwichan slept while drunk, and Kang Seong Hee took a picture of him sleeping and sent it to their managers. When the manager offered to pick him up, Kang Seong Hee refused and stated that she would take him. These behaviors aren’t common for victims of assault.

The label would then recount horrifying details that the footage shown by Spire Entertainment failed to capture.

But even after Hwichan fell asleep, Kang Seong Hee continued to yell at him to wake up and made inappropriate requests. Hwichan then, out of fear of repercussions and at the thought of being intimate with his CEO, who is the same age as his parents, ran away to the first floor. Hwichan then fell down the stairs and couldn’t get up. Kang Seong Hee then went to Hwichan, who was struggling on the floor, stepped on his head, and danced in front of him. Hwichan, out of fear, hid in the first-floor bathroom, but Kang Seong Hee continued to chase after him and yelled, causing even more physical and mental stress.

Netizens reacted to the harrowing account and criticized the group’s former CEO for her disturbing behavior.

• This is f@cking crazy… Isn’t this straight out of a horror movie?
• I knew this would happen when I first saw the pictures.
• I mean, where are their guardians? Please… I think this incident would be so difficult for men who have only trained to be idols to handle by themselves.

• Crazy.
• Yuck, seriously.
• I feel so bad for them.
