NCT’s Taeil Is No Longer Followed by Members, Staff, and Even Childhood Friend: Are the Allegations True?

NCT member Taeil has been shockingly accused of involvement in a criminal case involving a sex crime. SM Entertainment, his agency, quickly addressed the matter with an official statement, taking a firm stance by announcing his departure from the group.

SM Entertainment’s response to a core group member being implicated in such serious allegations was firm. The company quickly acknowledged the criminal charges, apologized, and took the drastic step of having Taeil leave the group.

According to SM, Taeil is currently cooperating with the police investigation into the sex crime allegations. SM also announced that it will provide further updates based on the progress of the investigation.

Following the announcement of Taeil’s involvement in a sex crime and his subsequent departure from the group, a significant number of people began unfollowing him on social media. Taeil, who had nearly 6 million followers on his personal SNS, saw a significant drop in followers after SM’s official statement. Among those who unfollowed him were several of his fellow artists, a sign of their implicit disapproval.

Additionally, other NCT members, SM staff, and even someone known to be Taeil’s childhood friend of 17 years have been seen unfollowing the male idol, suggesting that there is some “inside information” surrounding the ongoing allegations.

Below are some comments from Korean netizens:

• Now there is a sexual harasser in NCT. It’s such a nuisance
• What the hell did he do that even the people close to him are drifting away?
• Wow, nothing has been confirmed so far, but since they cut ties with him so quickly, it almost seems confirmed.
• I feel sorry for the members
• I guess the members knew this in advance.

On the other hand, it was also discovered that an anonymous account accuses Taeil of using spy cameras, blackmailing and even threatening to kill them for 6 years.
