Omega X, revealed as a victim of sexual assault… Legal battle ends, beginning of reputation restoration.

The boy group Omega X has resolved their legal dispute with their former agency and restored their honor. As a result, various suspicions that had hindered their future were revealed to be unfounded, while, conversely, the sexual assault allegations raised by the members against the former agency executIVEs have been formally handed over to the prosecution. With this outcome, Omega X has shed the label of ‘unlucky idol’ and announced a new beginning as independent and proactIVE artists. In 2023, the former agency, Sphere Entertainment, claimed that Omega X had engaged in ‘tampering’ by contacting their current agency, IPQ, but the Seoul Central District Court dismissed this, stating, “There is no evidence to support such claims.” Furthermore, the Fair Trade Commission concluded that there was no evidence to support the allegations of ‘coercIVE trading practices’ against IPQ, revealing that the legal attacks targeting Omega X were largely unfounded. This case caused even greater shockwaves due to the results of the sexual assault investigation, leading the Seoul Hyehwa Police Station to refer A, the spouse of the former agency’s director and representatIVE of Omega X, to the prosecution on charges of using occupational power to commit sexual assault. This incident deeply shook K-POP fans both domestically and internationally, and as it practically proved that the agency executIVEs had committed sexual violence against the idols under their management, it is evaluated as a symbolic case that exposed a dark aspect of power structures within the entertainment industry. IPQ stated, “Omega X did not remain silent even in pain and ultimately proved the truth based on the support of their fans.” Moving forward, Omega X is preparing for a full-fledged comeback under a new agency, with fans sending messages of support saying, “Now is the time for them to truly shine on stage.”
