Sports Khan narrates that the former NCT member only resumed his activities in February of this year after participating in the OST “Blue” for the TV drama series “Captivating the King.” Since then, his interactions with fans have been through his album activities and YouTube web variety. Though he was part of NCT 127’s latest comeback, he could not join the stage; instead, he participated in promotional activities to appease fans.

His Words of Gratitude Melted Hearts

At the time, Tae-il stated that he couldn’t join the stage and his members due to the lasting effects of his accident. His interactions with fans and members were filled with preciousness and gratitude, as expressed by E Daily, and thought of as genuine.  He repeatedly told NCTzens, their fanbase, that he hoped to spend this time together for a long time. His personality was often described as warm, cuddly, caring and kind.  

SM Entertainment Releases Official Statement

On August 28, 2024, people were shocked after NCT’s label, SM Entertainment, took to social media and their website to confirm the reports that Tae-il was recently sued for committing a sexual offense, Sports Seoul reported.  SM Entertainment is also involved in the investigation, confirming that once they realized the severity of the case, they unanimously decided that Tae-il could no longer participate in group activities.
