OMEGA X's legal representative states they have evidence of sexual harassment

AKP STAFF

Starting with the verbal and physical abuse by the CEO, more information about the abuse against OMEGA X has come out over the past few days. Recently, OMEGA X's legal representative claimed that the group has also been sexually harassed, and they have evidence to prove it. The legal representative explained, "This is a case in which individuals used the dreams of young people to abuse them."

In a phone call with media outlet CBS No Cut News on November 14, OMEGA X's legal representative,  attorney Noh Jeong Eon explained, "This is a case in which young people were taken hostage and abused using their dreams. They had to face assault, intimidation, and sexual harassment." The attorney added, "The members have suffered gaslighting and are worried and scared because they have been abused."

In regards to the claims that the members were sexually assaulted, the lawyer explained, "We have video as evidence of the sexual harassment." He added, "In the past, 'sexual harassment' was mostly crimes committed against women by men who have physical superiority. This case is an issue that shows how a person with a superior position in power, regardless of gender, violates human dignity." Lawyer Noh also explained that the agency had neglected its duty to protect the artists under the standard contract. He explained, "In the standard contract of an artist's exclusive contract, there is a basic clause that states that the artist's human rights must not be violated, and the agency has an obligation to protect the artists. However, this has been directly violated."

OMEGA X was at the center of the latest controversy when a video exposing the female CEO abusing the members was released online. The eleven-member group had gone to North America to continue their global tour following their South America tour. Starting with their October concerts in New York on the 3rd, Atlanta on the 6th, Orlando on the 7th, Louisville on the 9th, Chicago on the 10th, Denver on the 12th, Lawrence on the 14th, Dallas on the 15th, San Antonio on the 16th, Phoenix on the 18th, and Los Angeles on the 22nd. The group went around 11 cities for 20 days.

However, a video of the former CEO verbally and physically assaulting the members was released online, causing a stir in the entertainment industry. The footage revealed the former female CEO screaming at the members and even physically pulling one of them to the ground. 

Not only that, there were reports that the members who became sick with COVID-19 were forced to perform on stage. Additionally, there were reports that the members were called to drinking parties where there was physical contact and touching. 

That is why OMEGA X members have decided that they can no longer continue with the agency and are preparing to take legal action. The members opened a new social media account and shared a personal message to fans sharing that they will continue to chase their dreams.

It's getting worse and worse... I wasn't a fan but i feel the need to protect those kids at all costs. I hope they all stick together with unbreakable bonds. That's their main strenght and may they fight against the abuse they suffered.

I'm getting really mad tbh, I hope Omega X leaves the company and never looks back. This is terrible.
