It has been over a month since Taeil left NCT and the sub-units he is part of. Now, SM Entertainment has shared a brief comment about the idol’s ongoing sexual assault case.
SM Entertainment Breaks Silence As New Update Surfaces on Taeil Sexual Assault Case
On October 7, SM Entertainment released a brief statement in response to a new report concerning NCT’s former member, Taeil, who is currently under investigation for suspicion of sexual assault. The report alleges that Taeil is also being investigated for aggravated quasi-rape, an offense that reportedly involved Taeil and two acquaintances engaging in an act against an intoxicated woman.
According to the report, Taeil had been investigated by the Bangbae Police Station in Seoul and was later transferred to the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office on September 12 for further legal proceedings. This marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation, which has attracted considerable public attention.
In response to the media coverage surrounding the specific charges against Taeil, SM Entertainment provided a short statement saying, “It is difficult to comment as the matter is currently under investigation.” The agency refrained from making further remarks or providing additional details, likely due to the legal sensitivity of the case.
This incident comes after Taeil’s earlier departure from NCT in August. The initial allegations of sexual misconduct quickly followed this. The news of his exit from the group, along with the current investigation, has left many fans and the general public concerned and waiting for more information regarding the outcome of the legal proceedings.
As the case progresses, both fans and media outlets are closely watching for updates, though SM Entertainment’s current stance suggests that no further comments will be made until the investigation is concluded.
