In a significant development, IPQ has announced that the accusations of tampering leveled by the spire against Omega X and IPQ have been rejected. Spire had stated that IPQ conspired with the group to stop their contracts, but the court pronounced in favor of IPQ, ordering to turn to pay compensation for the emotional unease caused by frivolous statements.
“Some time has passed since there was an update on Omega X’s abuse case, but their IPQ company has recently provided a positive update,” said Asian Junkie. The outlet observed that the resolution of the tampering dispute could allow Omega X to resume activities freely, without obstacles from current legal battles.
The case attracted significant attention in the K-pop sector, highlighting issues of abuse and power dynamics. Omega X, who made its debut in 2021, was involved in conflict with the spire since November 2022, when the group presented an injunction to suspend their exclusive contracts. The recognition by the Court of aggression, abuse and intimidation by the spire opened the way to the termination of the Omega X contract in April 2024.
The efforts of IPQ to protect the group were praised, with the agency that actively pursues a legal action against the spire and others that spread defamatory statements. The dismissal of the tampering accusations marks a victory for Omega X, potentially allowing the group to focus on their music and performances going on.
The process for Kang Seong Hee is scheduled for July 2025, as reported by the X posts. The result could be a precedent to face the bad conduct in the K-pop sector.
