Netizens’ allegations against Taeil gained more momentum when they speculated that the idol could be linked to the recent “Nth Room”scandal. Additionally, the police released further updates on their ongoing investigation.
On August 28, SM Entertainment announced that Taeil has left NCT. The agency stated that the idol had faced allegations of a sexual offense, resulting in him leaving the group and facing criticism from the K-pop community.
After hearing the news, netizens showed their sympathy towards @agnes_121430, an Instagram user who was allegedly a victim of the idol for six years.
Despite denying any wrongdoing, Taeil was accused by the user of committing criminal acts including sexual abuse, deleting evidence by hacking her phone, blackmail, and sending death threats. The victim received an outpouring of support from netizens, who also directed their fury towards Taeil.
This Account Has Been Noted for Social Media Posts Regarding the Misconduct of a Celebrity Idol.
The scenario also involved NCT members unfollowing Taeil on their personal Instagram accounts, which was followed by numerous fans swiftly criticizing the idol through their words and actions.
Furthermore, another contentious issue happened to overlap with Taeil’s situation.
On the social media platform X (Twitter), speculation arose among users about Taeil’s possible involvement in the “Nth Room”case, which had gained nationwide attention in South Korea.
“Nth Room”refers to an illicit chat room where specific individuals congregate to distribute extremely exploitative and graphic material featuring women or underage girls. These chat rooms are infamous for their involvement in violent, abusive, blackmailing, and other abhorrent acts.
Despite some netizens spreading a rumor alleging that Taeil’s case may have been just the beginning and that over 200 idols could be involved in the illegal “Nth Room,”others disagreed with the speculation and its spread.
Genuine question, how do you know abt him w the nth rooms bc I havnt seen any official docs. Those chats are a VERY scary place & it’s dangerous to accuse smn of being part of it. Even if they’re scum of the earth, pointing fingers w baseless rumors is wrong & thts all I’ve seen.

stop spreading unconfirmed twitter rumors. there was no official report saying “over 200 idols were in the samenth room as taeil” we don’t even know if taeil was in the room or if he acted alone outside of it. spreading rumors and false info will make it worse for the victims.

taeil has additionally been accused of sexually assaulting an 11 year old who is now permanently disabled due to the assault, also been accused of being in an nth room (a telegram chat room which shares child porn, sa ect.) I feel sick to my stomach.
