Kpop Group OMEGA X Abuse Case Escalates to Sexual Harassment Allegations by Former CEO Kang Seong Hee

The abuse controversy Kpop group OMEGA X endured from their former CEO Kang Seong Hee had escalated not only to verbal and physical abuse. Instead, as if the former CEO wanted to have full-course abuse allegations, evidence revealed that Kpop group OMEGA X had to experience sexual harassment as well.

On November 14, CBS and SBS reported that OMEGA X legal representative Noh Jong Eon claimed that sexual harassment allegations were on the table of former CEO Kang Seong Hee abuse.

“It is a case where young people’s dreams were taken hostage. The people in power used their superiority to abuse, intimidate, and sexually assault them.”

What is the Official Definition of Sexual Harassment?

An official definition from the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission revealed that sexual harassment includes behaviors that the victim considers unwelcome, although they may have consented in the first place. The circumstances may differ for each case, but the crucial point lies in whether the victim truly welcomes the behavior.

It doesn’t necessarily take severe advances to consider someone sexually harassing a person. For example, verbal actions such as catcalling, whistling, sexual comments, or non-verbal actions like hugging, neck massage, and touching the person’s body can also be considered sexual harassment.

What Happened Behind the Sexual Harassment Allegations?

According to SBS News report, OMEGA X members had experienced sexual harassment by former CEO Kang Seong Hee multiple times. Additionally, former SPIRE Entertainment CEO Kang Seong had allegedly touched OMEGA X members against their will during a mandated drinking party and at the airport.

One of OMEGA X members recounted his experience that former CEO Kang Seong Hee touched him when the company asked him to join a meeting. He also stated that Kang Seong Hee had hugged him when she was drunk at the airport.

“They called me to a meeting in which they were drinking, and physical contact happened. Then, she wrapped her arm in mine at the airport and hugged me after drinking alcohol.”
