OMEGA X have officially terminated their contracts with SPIRE Entertainment.Today (May 8), the 11-member group took to their official Instagram account to announce that they and SPIRE Entertainment have mutually agreed to terminate the boyband’s exclusive contracts.The decision comes after a months-long dispute over OMEGA X’s contracts, following allegations that SPIRE Entertainment’s ex-CEO Kang Seong-hee had verbally abused and manhandled members of the boyband.“OMEGA X and SPIRE Entertainment reached an amicable and mutual agreement to terminate our exclusive contract after careful and lengthy discussions,” the boyband said in its statement, as translated by Soompi.OMEGA X added: “As a result, [we] decided to end all disputes with our former agency SPIRE Entertainment, and we agreed to work for the development of K-pop in our respective positions.”A post shared by 오메가엑스 (@omega_x__for_x)The official termination of OMEGA X’s contracts comes nearly four months after the boyband had won their lawsuit against SPIRE Entertainment to suspend their contracts with the agency.OMEGA X’s legal counsel had previously stated plans to press charges against SPIRE Entertainment’s former CEO Kang for allegedly “threatening, assaulting and exploiting the members”.Allegations that Kang had abused OMEGA X first surfaced in October 2022, when SBS News published a number of video clips said to depict Kang verbally abusing and manhandling members of the group.Shortly after these clips went viral, the band launched a new, independent Instagram account, where they claimed they were subject to “unwarranted treatment” from SPIRE.Kang nor SPIRE Entertainment have yet to comment on OMEGA X’s announcement that they have terminated their contracts
How EE, O2, and Vodafone mobile customers could save £200 by leaving their contract
18.04.2023 - 12:41 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Customers of some major mobile companies could save more than £200 a year by switching when their contract ends.
Consumer group Which? analysed how much out-of-contract customers of EE, Three, O2, and Vodafone could save by switching to their own choice of different data deals. They revealed that out-of-contract customers with the 'big four' pay an average of £22.37 a month compared to the average £19.01 monthly bill across all providers.
However, Which? recently discovered that 52 per cent of customers said they only use up to 5GB a month, which means customers could save a small fortune by switching to a more appropriate data deal. The consumer group found that the average out-of-contract EE customer in its survey pays £23.80 a month for their phone plan.

But, if EE customers switched to Smarty's 4GB deal for £5 a month, they could save around £225.60 a year (£18.80 a month). Meanwhile, Vodafone customers who pay an average of £22.20 could save £206.40 for the same switch.
Rocio Concha, director of policy and advocacy at Which? said: “Our findings show that some out-of-contract Big Four customers could save over £200 a year just by switching mobile providers. Anyone in that position should be thinking about making a switch or at least haggling for a much better deal from their current provider.
“However, millions will be trapped in costly contracts by exorbitant exit fees - and feeling the pain of eye-watering price increases of up to 17%. Which? believes it's absolutely critical that Ofcom's review of inflation linked mid-contract hikes results in changes that ensure customers are never trapped in this situation
