“I feel sick,” wrote one of Moon Tae-il’s fans after learning of the singer’s forced resignation from South Korean boy band NCT for being “implicated in a criminal case concerning a sexual offense,” according to the Korean entertainment company SM Entertainment.
The 30-year-old popstar was a member of the South Korean boy band NCT and was asked to step down by the management firm, after a police investigation confirmed his involvement in an unspecified sexual abuse case.
SM Entertainment released an official statement on X, verifying that the measures will take effect immediately, but refusing to divulge the precise nature of the allegations.
