Taeil REMOVED From NCT Amid Investigation for Sexual Crimes

[@Jazminemedia]

Apologies for the horrible audio quality we are trying to fix it 😅

[@tikitaka3946]

I’m devastated. There are screenshots circulating on Twitter of a Korean girl’s instagram page from weeks ago that was directly targeting and speaking to Taeil, accusing him repeatedly of ruining her life and making her existence hell for six years. The way SM immediately threw him out before a single rumor could even hit Pann or something is so very telling. I’m at a loss. 127 is my ult group. He was one of my favorite voices. The music was a safe space for me to reckon with my own trauma and stress and it’s been ripped away and people are suffering because of his deviancy. Taeyong has unfollowed all of the members and is deleting pictures of Taeil so I think they also found out with the rest of us. I’m just so sick and don’t know where to start. I’m just praying and pulling so hard for the victim because I know how it feels to have your soul destroyed by the sick actions of a man. Please take care of yourselves.

i literally would've NEVER expected taeil of all people to be accused of something like this. this is proof we don't know these men, we don't know these idols. it is devastating knowing how awful these people can be and we wouldn't know because their whole career is to make us fall in love with them. sick and twisted

[@Qpxy7]

This isn’t how SM usually operates. If a controversy arises with one of its idols, they usually get sent on an “extended hiatus.” For SM to immediately remove him from the group means that they are 99.99% sure that these allegations against Taeil are true.

[@sadiqazia5100]

I was thinking same but isnt this is the first time police is involved?

[@Qpxy7]

@@sadiqazia5100 most of the allegations, probably 90%+ of the allegations against most idols have to do with school bullying or anything in that space so the police are mostly not involved. This is probably the biggest scandal in the history of SM in terms of the “degree of criminal offense”, besides Super Junior Kangin.

I was not a heavy fan of NCT or anything but I watched their content sometimes and Taeil genuinely appeared to be such a good, decent and funny guy, even the members looked like they adored him, this just further proves that at the end of the day we really don't know these people, we are just watching a carefully manufactured image to attract young naive fans, girls pls be careful out there and don't just believe anyone you meet, the world is a dangerous place and you really can't trust anyone, I really hope the victim gets justice and this guy rots in prison for life.

[@sangikholhring9015]

yeahh they wanted us to believe that they are an innocent,cute and harmless being but we always look over the fact that that's their job to manipulate us into thinkinng that in order to earn money and fame...and in my opinion from the 'burning sun scandal 'i think that many other idols were involved in these kind of sexual scandals too and just like how bigbang knew what seungri is up too I'm pretty sure that not only their band mates but may other idols in the industries would have knownn this too

[@umalikas1]

Idols are humans, they're not perfect as how they are portrayed on t.v. and Kdramas. The faster fans digest this the better for both parties since so many especially Knetz are so emotionally invested in their idols. They cancel their idols for the pettiest reasons but when involved in crimes they would make all kinds of excuses to defend them. If Taeil is guilty then justice should be served to the victim, if he is not then he should take all necessary efforts to clear his name.
