QuoteThe members made their new Instagram account regardless of the memorandum they signed that stated they would have to take “civil and criminal responsibility if uploading to social media without the agency’s consent.”
QuoteNow we know that this was OMEGA X’s attempt to reach FOR X after Spire Entertainment broke all access to their social media accounts. Kyunghyang reported that “Spire Entertainment, having all the members’ personal information, changed the password of each member’s personal account on the fan cafe without any notice.”
QuoteSince Spire Entertainment operates the official fan cafe, the company restricted the communication. It was done so via an ID that members usually use too.
Yet, this act by Spire Entertainment could result in imprisonment for the guilty party as personal information was stolen.
Attorney Jang Hyuk Soon of the law firm Eunyul said, “If you break into a communication network without permission or steal other people’s information, you may be sentenced to imprisonment for up to five years or a fine according to Article 71 of the Information and Communications Act.”
Spire Ent responded.

“We did not intentionally cut off communication between [the members] and their fans; it was a measure we took to prevent the leak of their personal information during the process of changing the staff member in charge of fan marketing. At present, each member has been issued a new password, and they are now able to access the fancafe.”
