OMEGA X members reportedly flew back to South Korea using the members' own money after its agency, SPIRE Entertainment, canceled their flight.

Multiple news outlets reported that OMEGA X members were supposed to return to South Korea on Sunday after their tour in the US. However, the company canceled the flight amid abuse allegations involving its CEO and "stranded" them in the country.

SPIRE Entertainment dismissed the claims and said it discussed the cancellation three days prior, but that does not seem to be the case.

OMEGA X Members Pay For Own Flight

SBS News exclusively reported on Tuesday that the members of OMEGA X and their manager booked a flight to Korea from Los Angeles. This move came after their canceled scheduled flight on Sunday.

While it seemed to be good news, fans were left infuriated by the fact that the K-pop idols paid for their plane tickets without financial support from their agency. Their parents in South Korea also helped them buy the tickets.

The same report revealed that the agency's CEO, who has been accused of abusing the members, was escorted by hotel guards for causing a commotion in front of OMEGA X's room. Police reportedly responded to the scene twice.

Following the incident, SPIRE Entertainment shared a press release assuring everyone that the issue between the CEO and the members was already resolved.

"The members and the agency have currently resolved all their misunderstandings, and they ended the conversation by saying that they wanted to move forward while being considerate of each other," the company continued.

Amid the controversy, the proof that will prove the abuse claims goes viral online.

The clip, which was initially shared on Twitter, captured the CEO hitting the K-pop idols. Another video obtained by SBS also recorded the CEO screaming at Jaehan despite showing signs of anxiousness and panic.

Another video shows the CEO pulling Jaehan to the floor while holding onto his collar. The K-pop idol can be seen crying while he tries to get back on his feet.

OMEGA X members are yet to comment on the issue, but fans already took their dismay on Theqoo and slammed the CEO.
