OMEGA X Hwichan Cleared of Allegations by Prosecution in 2026 Legal Victory
OMEGA X's Hwichan has been officially cleared of sexual assault allegations made by his former CEO as of January 2026. Read the analysis on the prosecution's decision and the CCTV evidence controversy.
Justice has finally been served for OMEGA X member Hwichan. Prosecutors have officially cleared him of baseless sexual assault allegations made by the former CEO of Spire Entertainment. The decision of non-indictment, rooted in a total lack of evidence, marks a significant turning point in the group's ongoing struggle for freedom and reputation.
OMEGA X Hwichan Cleared of Allegations: The Truth Behind Edited Evidence
The case traces back to March 19, 2024, when Kang Seong Hee, the former CEO, filed a criminal complaint against Hwichan. While the former agency claimed to have CCTV footage as proof, they only released partial, edited clips to the public and investigative authorities. Despite repeated requests from IPQ and Hwichan for the original, unedited footage, it was never produced.
On December 11, 2025, the prosecution rendered its final decision. The lack of objective or credible evidence meant the case couldn't proceed. For over one year and ten months, Hwichan endured severe social stigma and mental distress. IPQ emphasized that the harm extended beyond the artist to all members and their families.
Continued Legal Harassment and the Path Forward
Even with the non-indictment, the former CEO has signaled intentions to file objections, a move seen by many as continued punitive harassment. It's a stark irony, considering Kang Seong Hee is the one facing charges for indecent assault against 6 members of OMEGA X. The court had already acknowledged the abuse suffered by the group under their previous management.
