On the 13th, the Seoul Bangbae Police Station reported that former NCT member Taeil has been indicted without detention on charges related to a sexual crime. This development follows a report made by the victim on June 13th, leading the police to investigate the case.
SM Entertainment, Taeil’s agency, stated on the 29th of last month, “We and Taeil first learned of the lawsuit in the middle of this month,” and noted that “Taeil was questioned by the police on the 28th.” However, SM did not disclose the specific nature of the “sexual crime charge” against Taeil. It has been confirmed that the victim is an adult female.
A police official mentioned, “We cannot reveal the specific charges and number of victims because the case has not been filed yet,” but confirmed, “It is true that he was sent to the case on the 12th without detention.”
The police’s choice of wording suggests there may be multiple victims, which has led to outrage among netizens. Here are some reactions:
- If there’s only one victim, why mention the number of victims… If that’s the case, they’d just say they cannot reveal the specific charges.
- Number of victims? So it’s not just one person that suffers from his crimes?
- Number… of victims??? This is seriously scary.
- This is shocking… So it wasn’t one person.
- Ah, that’s why SM rushed to remove him. His crimes seem to involve multiple victims.
- It is seriously frightening to think about what exactly he did.
