Netizens “Stunned” as SM Confirms Taeil Leaving NCT Due to Involvement in a Criminal Case
On the afternoon of August 28, SM Entertainment released an official statement confirming Taeil’s involvement in a criminal case related to sexual offenses. Below is the full statement:
“Hello, we are SM Entertainment.
We have confirmed that Taeil is involved in a criminal case related to sexual offenses.
Upon reviewing the situation, we recognize the severity of this matter and have decided that Taeil cannot continue his activities with the group. We discussed this issue with Taeil and have decided to remove him from the group.
Taeil is currently cooperating fully with the police investigation. We will issue an additional statement as the investigation progresses.
We deeply apologize for the controversy caused by our artist.”
Immediately after the announcement, SM unfollowed Taeil’s account on all NCT and NCT 127 social media platforms. Taeil’s departure from NCT has shocked fans, especially since his exit comes with the biggest scandal of his career. Global K-Pop fans were “stunned” upon reading the news, as Taeil has always been considered the calm and gentle older brother of NCT, with a clean personal life up until now.
SM’s swift and decisive action has shocked many but also earned praise. The company made the announcement before the media could expose the issue, potentially reducing the intensity of the backlash against the group or SM Entertainment. However, the public is now questioning how serious Taeil’s scandal must be for the company to take such drastic measures.
“Goosebumps. Is this really the Taeil that I’ve always thought of as the gentle guy I know? The one who I always hoped would have more screen time in MVs to shine? This is truly shocking.”
“Props to SM, but who could have expected this?”
“The group has already had enough misfortune, and now there’s even more trouble.”
“His career is basically over.”
“The media hadn’t even started reporting, and SM already spoke out. That’s insanely fast. This must be a really serious scandal.”
“I’ve never been this disappointed before.
