– Jaehan’s former bandmate from SPECTURM, Dongkyu, called out SPIRE on his instagram “You’re probably the ‘Anti.’ I won’t curse you out here since I’ve already done it a lot vocally. How dare you to my dongsaeng (younger brother). How dare someone like you.”
– Another former bandmate of Sebin from SNUPER, Taewoong posted the hashtag #ProtectOmegaX on his Instagram story.

– He also said in the press conference that Kang has suffered abuse and trauma at the hands of the members and is in extreme mental distress due to it. He replied that there were ‘false’ accusations on Kang so they had to release the footage to bring out the ‘truth’.
– OMEGA X immediately came forward denying the accusations and later IPQ Entertainment revealed harrowing details of the entire incident that night with text and video proof.

Accusations Refuted by IPQ & OMEGA X members

– IPQ released text exchanges of July 11, where members were discussing at 2 am that the CEO wanted to wake up all the members to drink, with one member saying he’ll go on behalf of the group so they could all go to sleep.
– That night SPIRE claimed that Hwichan wanted to discuss his military enlistment with her separately but his draft notice was sent on August 1 so he hadn’t received his draft notice before the event and the claim turned out to be a lie.
– The members were called in to drink on the night of July 10 which went on July 11, was not because of listening to the group’s hardships as claimed by Kang, but were called to console her who was upset that the members weren’t grateful for her efforts.
– The members were forced to drink on multiple occasions and were often gaslighted and intimidated in fear that they would face difficulties promoting with the group if they refused.
– A text exchange that happened on March 14, 2022, also showed Kang texting “[Member name] is out, too, because you didn’t say you love me!” with an aggressive emoji (an angry duckman slamming his phone on a glass screen’. The member was forced to reply ‘I love you, CEO Kang’.

Truth Behind ‘Sexual Assualt’ Footage

– On the night of July 11, she insisted the members drink while they had gone to sleep so she then grabbed Hwichan on the pretext that she had something to discuss with him. She claimed it was him that initiated the meeting while OMEGA X’s previous manager said it was at the behest of Kang. The text exchanges between the group members also showed them discussing Hwichan’s meeting with Kang.
– Once Hwichan and Kang were alone, she requested him to touch her and he obliged out of fear of being abused. The footage claimed to be a ‘sexual assualt’ by Kang shows that the member is not aggressive or forceful and the former CEO is not showing any signs of resistance.
– After being coerced into touching her, Hwichan slept while being drunk and she snapped a photo of him and sent it to the managers, texting ‘This is driving me crazy. Let me try to wake him up and bring him with me.’ The manager offered to pick him up but she refused saying ‘That’s OK. I’ll take care of him, haha.’
– She continuned to yell at him to wake up, making inappropriate requests while he slept. He then ran away to the first floor in fear of being intimate with her, stumbling and fallng down the stairs. He couldn’t get up while she caught up to him and stepped on his head and danced in front of him.
– He, terrified, ran and hid in the first floor bathroom while she continued to chase him. The mental and physical distress continued until 5:45 am until Kevin and manager went to the label to pick him up because he hadn’t returned.
– They saw her taking a selfie in the lobby (which is uploaded on her FB) while he had locked himself in the bathroom.
– The members revealed that sexual, physical and verbal abuse was an everyday thing and also revealed more disturbing texts of Kang verbally abusing the group members.
– The public fully supported OMEGA X and lashed out at her accusation of being ‘sexually assulted’ by Hwichan.
– IPQ Entertainment released a statement asking to release the full footage of the happenings to show the incident in its entirety.
