[Megathread: #1] Taeil has departed from NCT and is currently participating in a police investigation related to sexual crime

Oh wow - SM immediately removed him too

Wtf??? I'm honestly surprised. It's great that sme reacted so quickly and understood the severity of the situation.

Btw maybe he is involved in that Telegram mess?? It's +220k Korean men... Anyway, this is disappointing.

WTF I did not see this coming... Truly never trust an idol!

I'll say it once and I'll say it again, no matter how genuine an idol it seems, we must remember we truly never know these idols true personalities are

This is what I thought off too...

I think bc of the telegram DF case, we are gonna see a few more cases like this.

I knew that SM really have a grip with kmedia but its still surprising because not a single media drop a news about this knowing how hungry they are to sensationalized things.

What is the telegram DF case or should I not know of it?

SM is good keeping media totally hush any rumor about this. SM basically confirmed by removing him

Gotta trust SM on this. Instant removal either means evidence is damaging + true or Taeil choose to leave rather than slow roll. Either way, glad to see some accountability.

Such a serious case and people "worried" about sme and media relationships, please, hide your fanwars agenda. This is way too seriously, it's related to a disgusting crime.

Tbh if this is the case then this is great. Let's clean again this industry. But for now we have 0 info..

That's mostly school kids afaik

Yeah, but I think even some university students are involved, no? Anyways, now it's just wait bc I'm sure some media will found out what is happening and he being innocent or guilty won't matter to knetz, they'll eat him alive specially with what's happening in the country right now.

You didn’t know about it because korean media didn’t want to report it.

Anyway can’t say I’m surprised about this case. There was already some sex workers stories, or im mixing them up?

Oh thanks for the links and holy smokes, it’s a very disgusting crime that impacted so many people - kids and adults victims too.

wow I guess we shouldn't really stan people hard, you never know what's coming

Not of his fan, just saying

An instant removal is sooo huh

I honestly don't know what to say. Let's wait for police report.

Other members from NCT were involved in that.

If everyone react so fast like this, is that his guilt is almost established.

He was one of my biases in NCT.

Honestly no words other than pure disappointment. Even if not confirmed, him being kicked out instantly is enough for me to not want to support the guy anymore.

It's very hard to process because he, unlike L*cas, was a very vital member to the group and one of the OGs. But kicking him out is absolutely the correct choice.

The instant removal and unfollowing spree makes this look rather serious and severe. Whatever it's that actually happened, I hope justice will prevail. Seeing that even a childhood friend unfollowed him, the chance is quite slim that he only left to save the group the pr nightmare, besides, SM has never moved this quickly and decisively before even when criminal acts like Kangin's DUI and Onew's sexual assault so this reaction from them makes this seem even more damning. I don't want to jump to conclusions but well.

Please, do not compare both cases. The "alleged" "scandal" involving Johnny and Haechan was debunked and confirmed to be false by SM - besides, even if true, the whole thing was CONSENTED.

I understand, I wanted to clear up that that story didn't involve Taeil.

cleansing begins
