The internet was full of rumors circulating that around 200 male K-pop idols were allegedly involved in the “New Nth Room”. In response, fans were divided in their opinions regarding these unconfirmed rumors.
Previously, on August 28, SM Entertainment released an official statement announcing Taeil’s removal from NCT due to an alleged sexual offense. Many expressed their anger towards the idol, resulting in a series of online posts, threads, and reactions.
However, amidst the chaos, a mixture of facts and feelings emerged among netizens. Some netizens claimed that Taeil is just one of the alleged 200 male idols involved in the “New Nth Room”, creating an uproar among fans.
Taeil was also accused of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old boy who is now permanently disabled as a result of the assault, and was also accused of being in an nth room (a Telegram chat room where child pornography, etc. is shared) I feel sick to my stomach.

But sentiments have caused some facts to become entangled, as the claims have been confused with a new deepfake sex crime in South Korea.
The “New Nth Room” is made up of various Telegram chat rooms where Korean men and students share videos of exploitation and humiliation of women, family members, and female students.
On Telegram, Korean men and boys are taking sexual photos/videos of their little sisters, friends and mothers, some of which show explicit sexual abuse. There were over 200,000 subscribers on ONE channel alone.

The suggestion that Taeil was involved in the current “New Nth Room” has been mistakenly linked to details surrounding the original 2020 “Nth Room” case.
The “Nth Room” case was a horrific incident involving group chats that included Korean men, professors, athletes, and public figures who took part in the exploitation of underage girls and women. On social media, here’s how netizens reacted to the exchange:
sorry but isn’t this statement full of errors?
It’s not a fact that there are 200 kpop idols involved in the Nth room case
There are 200,000 members of the TG group and people say that with that given number, it is not impossible that there are idols or actors involved photo.twitter.com/mQ2DT4r9UA

Kpop stans spreading misinformation about nth room about 200 idols, what’s your source? Some of you don’t even care about the real issue, you just want to gossip and tweet “what if”? You see SK mentioned, and your first thought is idols, which is not normal.

I hate kpop tiktok so much because who the hell made up the rumor about the recent nth room case with 200 kpop idols and the list coming out tomorrow?????????? Literally every 3rd scroll and someone is talking about it

they appreciated my response about not spreading misinformation but the tweet is still up. there are not 200 idols and the authors of the umpteenth room have been arrested. these are new chat rooms that are doing despicable things. there is no list, i assume this entry is from a 2019 “list” https://t.co/NwyqOZr8ih

News about over 200 celebrities involved in nth room dates back to 2019. Including professors, politicians, actors, athletes and idols. So stop spreading false lists without any source to use as a trap moment to cancel the idols you hate. Instead help sk women to report YT channels photo.twitter.com/6eqVMm7opu

The Nth room incident actually happened 5 years ago and there was no such list. Even now there is no list of 200 or 20 idols… don’t believe the unauthenticated news from TikTok. They do it just to get likes and views +++ photo.twitter.com/iNrugq2yVs

This is disgusting, they are spreading false information about nth room list about having 200 kpop idols, these kpop fans need to think before posting this shit, the fact that they choose to post the “it wouldn’t do it right” shit rather than spreading awareness of feminism in Korea photo.twitter.com/Vy7P1oJET7

Can everyone CALM DOWN? I don’t know where the information about 200 celebrities and some of them are idols who are in the chat rooms came from, but this is OLD news and has nothing to do with the current Telegram chats.
STOP spreading misinformation until an official statement comes out— Lulu | 🇵🇸 (@muixsuzuya) August 29, 2024
the nth room list of 200 k-pop idols were the women involved and who have been victims of AI and deepfakes displayed in chat rooms and even if there was a list of the men involved they would never release it remember this has been an ongoing thing for years now
