Actors of OMEGA X
Under their new company IPQ Inc, OMEGA X has been given a new life and a chance to expand their skills.
Originally a film production and distribution company, IPQ Inc has become involved in music upon signing with OMEGA X. The company picked up the group following OMEGA X’s contract termination with their previous company on the basis of mistreatment.
OMEGA X consists of 11 idols who have all previously debuted in now disbanded and inactive groups including SPECTRUM, Limitless, SNUPER, Seven O’Clock, GIDONGDAE, 1TEAM, ENOi, and 1THE9. The members of OMEGA X have participated on survival shows such as Produce 101, MIXNINE, BOYS24, and Under 19.
Jaehan and Yechan
Jaehan and Yechan, the leader and maknae of OMEGA X respectively, starred in popular BL drama A Shoulder to Cry On adapted from the webtoon Comfort The Boy. This was produced by IPQ Inc prior to their association with OMEGA X; however, the drama has played a large part in OMEGA X’s recent success. Not only did this make a name for Jaehan and Yechan as actors, but both of the members playing main characters attracted many new fans to OMEGA X as a whole. This was the pair's first time acting, and despite this they have received a lot of praise for their performances. Three of the songs from the show's soundtrack are composed and performed by OMEGA X members including the intro song which is sung solely by eldest member Jaehan.
On July 12, it was announced that Aria Group was partnering with IPQ Inc to manage Yechan’s acting and music career internationally. Yechan has expressed that despite being new to acting, he has become less nervous thanks to his time on A Shoulder to Cry On and is eager to star in more dramas.
