hello.
We created this small communication space in order to express our gratitude to all of our fans who love us and support us, as well as to convey the current situation directly from our own mouths as the parties involved in this incident. . .
Under pressure from SPIRE Entertainment, our members [OMEGA X]— You previously signed an agreement that “if you upload a post on social media without consulting the company, you must bear both civil and criminal liability.” Therefore, we wanted to resume communication with fans as soon as possible, but we ask for your understanding that we had to be careful until we understood the position of Spire Entertainment.
Starting group activities together, there were times when it was fun and times when it was hard. Also, when our suffering became public knowledge recently, we feared that all we had accomplished would evaporate into smoke. But we have now decided to put our fears aside and summon our courage together.
Our group was the second opportunity for 11 members to come together after refusing to rise from difficult times of despair and give up on their dreams.
The only people who gave us the strength to never give up on our dreams and continue to take on new challenges were the fans who waited for us, believed in us, and supported us. Thanks to all the fans, I was able to endure these two years. There were days when I was treated so unfairly by my agency that it made me want to cry, but as I remembered the cheers of the fans and read the messages of support, I had the strength to endure it. did. Many times when we tried to fall asleep.
As always, I will continue to pursue my dreams until the end. We will stand in front of our fans again with good music and performances. The 11 members who share the same goals and the fans who share the same dream are the most precious things to us in the world, and we never want to lose them again.
We apologize for causing concern to many people and for making you wait. Thank you for reading to the end our sincere feelings that we shared with courage.
Thank you very much.
