The company released a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, Wednesday saying, the 30-year-old had been “accused in a criminal case in relation to a sexual crime.” No further details about the allegations were released.
“We recognized the seriousness of the issue, and we have decided that Taeil can no longer continue team activities,” the label wrote, according to the Associated Press. “We have discussed this matter with Taeil, and it has been decided that he will leave the group.” The label also said Taeil is fully cooperating with police investigation.

Despite his departure from NCT, his contract with SM Entertainment has not been terminated at this time, according to reports from Korea JoongAng Daily.
