On June 30, Spire Entertainment’s new K-pop group Omega X made their official debut with their first EP, VAMOS. The band has 11 members, Hangyeom, Jaehan, Hwichan, Sebin, Taedong, Xen, Jehyun, Kevin, Junghoon, Hyuk, and Yechan. Each member previously debuted with K-pop groups that are disbanded or currently inactive.

The name Omega X combines Omega (Ω), the last letter of the Greek alphabet, with the letter X. Together, the two letters represent change, growth, and possibilities in the face of the unknown. Over email, Showbiz Cheat Sheet interviewed the members of Omega X about VAMOS and their goals as a group.
