On October 25, SBS News confirmed the members of OMEGA X secured their return flight to Korea with their personal funds after the LA incident.
Recently, one of the biggest buzzes in the entertainment industry was the news that a boy group was verbally and physically abused by their CEO. On October 24, SBS released a video related to the allegations that OMEGA X's CEO was hitting the members during their world tour. Just a day before, an OMEGA X fan took to social media to share their shocking eye witness of the agency's CEO abusing the members.
These videos of OMEGA X members being abused by the CEO quickly spread widely online and caused much controversy. Despite the controversy, the female CEO didn't show any signs of remorse or regret for her actions in an interview with SBS.
After the LA incident, OMEGA X was revealed to have boarded a returning flight to Korea after purchasing the tickets using their own money.
On October 25, the boys arrived safely in South Korea and were spotted at the Incheon International airport. Many reporters gathered at the airport to take photos of the boys and reported that the members seemed to look fatigued.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that the female CEO had canceled OMEGA X's scheduled flights back to Korea on October 23. As a result, the eleven members of OMEGA X, as well as their manager, were forced to secure return flights to Korea by calling their families for help and ultimately boarded their flights on October 24.
The female CEO still denies all accusations of abuse, assault, and neglect.

I'm so sorry to the members, their staff and their fans, but I don't see how they can continue like this. Their CEO openly abuses them in public, flat out denies it and then is so callous as to cancel their plane tickets home out of spite. They tried to spin it by saying they had always planned to cancel the tickets due to the potential of there being fans on their flight, but then why on earth didn't they have new ones booked. That was a calculated move, especially since all of them (including even the manager there to guide and protect them) had to call family to buy their own tickets. I feel for them because I know this group is comprised of several former members of past K-pop groups; this is their last shot, but I don't see how they can keep going if their own CEO will actively hurt them in such ways. Something's going to give, especially if certain members are having panic attacks due to their treatment by the company in public.
