Former NCT Moon Taeil, Facing Sexual Assault Charges, Draws Public Outrage for Carefree Behavior Before First Trial
Moon Taeil, the former eldest member of NCT and once a main vocalist for the group, is at the center of a major controversy after being indicted on charges of aggravated quasi-rape (“특수준강간”) involving an intoxicated woman and two acquaintances. The case, which came to light in June 2024, led to his swift departure from NCT—a rare move for SM Entertainment, which cited the gravity of the allegations as the reason for his removal.
According to police and prosecution reports, Taeil was accused of participating in the assault of an adult woman who was allegedly incapacitated due to alcohol, with the incident involving multiple perpetrators. After being investigated by the Seoul Bangbae Police and transferred to the prosecutor’s office, Taeil has been awaiting his first court appearance.
Despite the severity of the charges, Taeil was recently spotted drinking with acquaintances ahead of his initial court date. This sighting has sparked widespread outrage and disbelief online, with many questioning his apparent lack of remorse and the appropriateness of his public demeanor given the nature of the allegations.

@otyuioq
Seriously, what kind of mindset does a woman have to have to drink with Moon Taeil?

You fing bastard. If you have any conscience, stop living. I can’t believe I wasted so much love on you, you piece of s**t.
I must have been an idiot to be proud of someone as worthless as you.

I hope next time you zip up your pants after peeing, your balls get caught in the zipper.
@invinciblealien
Is it okay for a rapist to just walk around like this?
The one truly suffering is the victim, you bastard.
