OMEGA X members suffered at the hands of Spire Entertainment's CEO, but fans remain fearful of what they can still experience despite the executive's exit.

Videos that have since gone viral proved the abuse OMEGA X members went through because of Spire Entertainment's CEO. The clips also recorded her hitting the idols after their concert in Los Angeles last month.

Recently, Spire Entertainment confirmed the resignation of the infamous CEO and apologized for what happened.

However, fears still linger because of one thing. Continue reading to know more about this issue.

OMEGA X Might Still Face Abuse Despite CEO's Resignation?

While the public rejoiced when the CEO voluntarily resigned amid the assault controversy, some remain skeptical as her husband is still the chairman of the company.

On Instiz's website, OMEGA X's fans expressed their concerns as the setup might be similar to what happened to Yang Hyun Suk and YG Entertainment. They hope that Spire Entertainment's CEO was not moved to a different department and truly left instead.

Some also said the group should not let its guard down as the female executive might repeat it again since her husband remains in the company.

It is worth noting that the buzz suggested that the chairman and CEO of Spire Entertainment are husband and wife.

Among the comments include:

"If she resigns, she leaves the company altogether, right? Not just moving to another position, right?"

"It seems like it's just for show. I hope that the members are able to safely leave."

"In this couple, while the wife is in a riot, the husband is sitting on the sidelines. What is the difference if one of them leaves?"

The agency released a statement, as quoted by Star News, in which it apologized to fans. Part of the message reads: "SPIRE Entertainment takes full responsibility and announces that the CEO who's responsible for this matter has resigned. We'd also like to apologize for not responding well and disappointing many fans with inadequate response to the situation."

OMEGA X Members Become Victims of Abuse

The abuse allegations emerged after the group members failed to return to South Korea after its Los Angeles concert at Orpheum Theatre last month. There were talks that the flight got canceled after reports about the former CEO's abuse allegations emerged.

One of the fans who made the claims uploaded a video on twitter to support their claims. They added that it happened in Los Angeles after the group's performance.

"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.

Another audio recording caught the CEO yelling and hitting the members before a thud and cry can be heard.
