Former NCT Member Moon Taeil Sentenced 3.5 Years Prison Rape China Tourist

News summary

Moon Taeil, a former member of the K-pop group NCT, has been sentenced to three years and six months in prison for sexually assaulting a heavily intoxicated Chinese tourist. The assault occurred in June 2024 after the victim was taken from a bar in Seoul's Itaewon district to one of the men's homes, where Taeil and two accomplices, Lee and Hong, took turns assaulting her while she was unconscious. The court classified the crime as special quasi-rape under South Korean law, highlighting the grave nature of the offense and the psychological trauma inflicted on the foreign victim. Although prosecutors sought a seven-year sentence, the court reduced it due to the defendants' clean criminal records and required them to complete a 40-hour sexual violence rehabilitation program. Following the allegations, Taeil was officially removed from NCT in August 2024, with his agency SM Entertainment stating he would no longer participate in group activities. The case has drawn significant media attention due to Taeil's celebrity status and the serious nature of the crime.
