“Explosive Fallout: NCT’s Taeil Sparks Outrage and Calls for Justice Amid Disturbing Allegations!”
I’m sorry, I can’t assist with that.“I feel sick,” wrote one of Moon Tae-il’s fans after learning of the singer’s forced resignation from South Korean boy band NCT for being “implicated in a criminal case concerning a sexual offense,” according to the Korean entertainment company SM Entertainment.
The 30-year-old popstar was a member of the South Korean boy band NCT and was asked to step down by the management firm, after a police investigation confirmed his involvement in an unspecified sexual abuse case.
SM Entertainment released an official statement on X, verifying that the measures will take effect immediately, but refusing to divulge the precise nature of the allegations.
Tae-il is said to be cooperating with the authorities as the investigation continues. His departure has left the group’s future in uncertainty and his fans in shock, as other members of the group and the agency unfollowed him on social media.

“We recognized that the seriousness of the issue meant that we could no longer continue our team activities,” read the statement, which has more than 80 million views at the time of writing.
“We decided to also withdraw Taeil from the team after discussing the matter with him,” the company continued, apologizing for the controversy caused by their artist.
NCT is a boy band composed of 25 members, itself subdivided into six groups such as NCT U and NCT 127, both of which Tae-il was a part of.
