SBS Entertainment News exclusively reported on Monday that the Spire Entertainment CEO's issue made the company cancel the flight. But the news outlet clarified that the staff members who accompanied them during its world tour had already returned to South Korea.
For what it's worth, a fan shared on Twitter that she saw the CEO hitting the OMEGA X members after their concert in Los Angeles.
"I was just waiting outside for my Uber Eats order, and I witnessed the CEO hitting the members. My hands were shaking so hard and I didn't know what to do. They were hit right in front of me, but I couldn't do anything," the fan said.
