Spire Entertainment has announced that the female CEO connected to the OMEGA X assault controversy has voluntarily resigned.

Their statement, which was released on November 7 KST, reads as follows:

"Hello, this is Spire Entertainment.

First and foremost, we bow our heads and sincerely apologize to the members as well as their parents and fans who care about OMEGA X and must have been hurt by this incident.

In addition to this unfortunate incident, we sincerely apologize for disappointing you due to the agency's inadequate response so far.

Spire Entertainment is fully accepting all responsibility for this situation.

The CEO who caused an unfortunate incident during the tour has voluntarily resigned.

And to prevent this from happening in the future, Spire Entertainment will do its best to solve the bitter problems you have pointed out.

In addition, we will do our best to prevent recurrence so that OMEGA X members do not experience such an unfortunate incident again, and we will continue to communicate with the members as we do our best so that they can focus on their artist activities in a better environment.

Thank you."

As previously reported, OMEGA X drew attention at the end of last month when witness accounts and related audio/video footage of some members being assaulted and verbally abused by the agency CEO during their tour in the United States were released online. After the controversy, the members were then left in the United States without any support from the company, eventually returning to Korea through tickets purchased with their own money.

Meanwhile, the statement comes roughly one day after the OMEGA X members opened their own Instagram account apart from Spire Entertainment, publishing their first public response to the incident and assuring fans they intend on staying together and working toward their dream.
