SBS releases video of OMEGA X's CEO allegedly verbally and physically abusing member Jaehan

SBS has released video relating to the abuse allegations made against the CEO of boy group OMEGA X.

As previously reported, some members of the group OMEGA X were reportedly assaulted and abused by their agency's CEO (identified by SBS as 'Kang') after finishing a concert in Los Angeles, the last city of their world tour, on October 22.

After finishing a post-performance dinner, Kang said to the OMEGA X members, "Why do you think XXs like you deserve to be loved by people? XXs who don't know what it means to be loved are loved. I know how XXing calculated you are."

Kang yelled at member Jaehan, who was sitting down with symptoms of panic, saying, "Get up. If you get sick like this every day, stop being an idol. [...] CEO Kang said, "I know how many times I fell. It hurts to death. I made it all night even if it hurts to death." They continued to force Jaehan to stand up. "I know how many times I stumbled. I was so sick I could've died. Even though I was so sick I could've died, I worked all night." It is reported that CEO Kang's abusive language continued even after arriving at the hotel.

When Taedong tried to move Jaehan, Kang shouted, "You all did this to me. When I was having such a hard time, did you take care of me?" Taedong defended by saying, "He's on the verge of collapsing." As he protested, Kang said, "I've already collapsed." They then pulled Jaehan's collar and knocked him down on the ground. He is then seen weeping as he rises back to his feet.

SBS contacted Kang for a telephoned statement, where they denied the allegations of abuse, saying, "I never yelled at the members nor did I assault them. [...] Both Jaehan and I collapsed. I was really sad, so I asked, 'Did you guys protect me? Did you protect me when I was having such a hard time?'" This is a new statement on top of Spire Entertainment's company-wide statement regarding the allegations.

Meanwhile, OMEGA X recently finished their tour through the Americas. However, the company canceled their return flight, and they are currently staying in the United States.
