Former NCT member Taeil has gone silent across his social media platforms following his departure from the group amidst serious accusations.
As of September 5, Taeil's Instagram account has been set to private, and all videos from his YouTube channel "Talmoon" have been deleted.
This comes after shocking news that Taeil is facing legal issues related to a sex crime accusation.
On August 28, SM Entertainment released a statement confirming the situation: "We have confirmed that Taeil was recently sued in a criminal case related to a sex crime. After investigating the matter, we recognized the seriousness of the situation and decided he could no longer continue his activities with the team. After discussions with Taeil, we reached the decision for his departure from NCT."
Since the announcement, both SM Entertainment and the members of NCT have unfollowed Taeil on social media, signaling the end of his involvement with the group.
Taeil had been absent from offline activities for NCT 127's comeback with their 6th full album WALK due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident earlier in July.
However, he did attend the group's 8th-anniversary fan meeting before this controversy unfolded.
