OMEGA X’s Taedong

Throughout the past couple of months, FOR X (OMEGA X’s fandom) have become increasingly concerned for the members. In August, OMEGA X were seemingly banned from using their social media. After that, the group carried out their tour of North America, 2022 OMEGA X WORLD TOUR [CONNECT: Don’t give up], which was also fraught with issues.

After the tour wrapped with OMEGA X’s final show in Los Angeles, FOR X reported witnessing the members being verbally and physically abused by Spire Entertainment‘s CEO, Kang Seong Hee.

Guys, I was waiting outside for the Uber Eats that I ordered and I saw the company CEO hitting the members. I really didn’t know what to do since my hands were shaking so much. They were being hit right in front of me but I couldn’t do anything.

CEO Kang Seong Hee: What have you guys done for me? Did you take care of me when I was having a hard time?

CEO Kang Seong Hee: Stop?

Member: [inaudible]… it was right…

CEO Kang Seong Hee: Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?

Member: [A member] is going to faint.

CEO Kang Seong Hee: I’ve already fainted before!

*sound of someone falling down*

Member: Oh!

CEO Kang Seong Hee: Get up! Now!

Member: What are you doing?!

*sound of a thud*

*sound of someone crying*

Spire Entertainment addressed the issue in a statement, claiming that “voices were raised” during a tour discussion between the management and the members.

Following the month-long tour, which began in Guadalajara, Mexico, on September 16 and ended in LA, USA, on October 22, we had a celebratory team-wide dinner. The conversation, which has circulated online via social media, was recorded at that dinner.

At the time, having completed all legs of the tour, the OMEGA X members and Spire Entertainment team were discussing the hard work that went into the concerts, as well as the future that is to come. During this discussion, we also talked about certain moments that caused disappointments in one another. And in doing so, the conversation got heated, and voices were raised.

Additionally, SBS News reported an exclusive statement from CEO Kang Seong Hee herself in which she addressed the abuse but defended her actions.

It’s a one-sided allegation started by an anti-fan who is hostile toward the management.

I was exhausted because I’ve been up for several nights in a row. I even had a bloody nose because I was so tired. But the members didn’t think to make me feel better. They didn’t care about me. So I felt upset and acted out of disappointment.

Usually, I’m extremely polite toward the members. I even use honorifics when I talk to them.

Since then, Spire Entertainment warranted more backlash after a video was released by SBS that showed Kang Seong Hee verbally abusing and then physically assaulting leader Jaehan, who appeared to be having a panic attack. The attacks toward the members continued even at their hotel, and additional witnesses reported more instances of mistreatment. Recently, it was reported the members even had to pay their way home to Korea from L.A. after their company canceled their plane tickets.

Since FOR X exposed Spire Entertainment’s abusive CEO, more people, including witnesses and those who have even worked with the company, have spoken out.

Even OMEGA X member Taedong’s sister is speaking out regarding the situation. Previously, she shared SBS News’ interview with CEO Kang. She captioned it, “All I can do is laugh.”

Now, she posted another post via Instagram Stories. She revealed that she had read comments on articles regarding Spire Entertainment’s abuse of OMEGA X. She was shocked at how hateful and mean netizens were, as some even referred to it as “noise marketing.”

I was reading the comments in the article, and I’m at a loss for words. LOL. It is so mean. How is this noise marketing? And how is this justifiable because they aren’t popular? I kept trying to ignore it, but it’s making me so mad I couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Noise marketing refers to any marketing efforts or information that distracts from a brand’s overall message. ‘Noisy’ can refer to too many marketing emails, too many advertisements on social media or too many TV ads that people view as inundating and slightly annoying.

Taedong’s sisters have always been very supportive of Taedong’s K-Pop idol career. They go out and attend events and share posts related to OMEGA X via social media.

Honestly, no one is a bigger Taedong stan than his sisters.

It’s good to know that Taedong at least has such a loving, supportive family by his side!
