A former director of the agency accused of sexually assaulting members of the boy group "OMEGA X" has been referred to the prosecution.
The Seoul Hyehwa Police Station announced on the 22nd that it had forwarded former Spire Entertainment director Kang, who was accused of sexual assault, to the prosecution without detention on the 7th. Kang is accused of sexually assaulting some members of OMEGA X.
Earlier, in August 2023, seven of the 11 members filed a complaint against Kang. The complaint reportedly included details of unwanted physical contact, such as putting his arms around members or hugging them while they were waiting at an airport in South America for a tour in September 2022.
Kang, on the other hand, claimed that he was sexually assaulted by an OMEGA X member and filed a complaint against member Heechan for sexual assault in March of last year. The Seongdong Police Station, which investigated the case, forwarded Heechan to the prosecution in August of the same year.
OMEGA X is an 11-member group that debuted in June 2021 with the album "VAMOS." All members have prior experience in grants and have appeared on audition programs before their debut.
