OMEGA X make first public appearance after lawsuit at Hanteo Music Awards

The 2022 Hanteo Music Awards were extra special, as fans witnessed OMEGA X walk the red carpet of the event. It was the group’s first public appearance since winning the lawsuit against its former company, SPIRE Entertainment, last month.

The lawsuit arose after a fan recorded a video of the OMEGA X members being hit by their CEO, on October 23, 2022. More people began posting their witness accounts of the group being harassed.

While the agency denied the same, the K-pop idols and some of their family members confirmed the same. They then held a press conference in November announcing legal action to terminate their contracts.

Meanwhile, the first day of the awards ceremony was hosted by S.E.S.’s Eugene, CIX’s Hyunsuk, and EPEX’s Baekseung. Eugene also hosted Day 2 alongside comedian Shin Dong-yeop.
