These comments accuse Taeil, whose real name is Moon Tae-il, of sending death threats to the victim's hospitalized mother and hacking the victim's Twitter account for the past six years.

The allegations include claims that the sexual crime occurred over six years ago when the victim was a minor and that Taeil has been hacking the victim’s phone to hide evidence. 

taeil is pushing 30 meanwhile the victim is an 06......only 18 years old and if you do the calculations 6 years ago she was only 12 I'm beyond disgusted wallahi

These allegations have not been independently verified, and the police have declined to comment on the case.

In response to the scandal, several NCT members, including Johnny, Winwin, and Mark, have unfollowed Taeil’s personal Instagram account. Taeyong, the leader of NCT, was among the first to unfollow Taeil and remove photos featuring him.
