SM Entertainment has officially updated Taeil’s contract status with NCT.

On October 16, SM Entertainment uploaded an official statement announcing that the agency had officially terminated Taeil’s exclusive contract with NCT.

The termination of the contract became effective as early as October 15th.

The agency shared that Taeil is currently under investigation for a criminal case. He further added that the former NCT member’s situation matches the company’s reasons for dismissal and it was also difficult to trust Taeil as an artist.

Under the circumstances, both parties ultimately terminated Taeil’s contract. The company concluded its statement by expressing its sincere apologies to fans and everyone affected by Taeil’s actions.

Earlier on August 28, SM announced Taeil’s departure. The outlet shared that the disgraced idol has been “subpoenaed in a criminal case related to a sex crime.” His departure was finalized after an in-depth conversation with the agency.
