Birthday Wishes for Ex-NCT Member Taeil Stir Up Outrage

In August 2024, it was announced that Taeil would no longer be a member of NCT due to a then-unspecified sex crime.

Earlier this year, he was sentenced to 3 and a half years in prison after pleading guilty to aggravated rape.

Despite his guilty plea, some fans still showed love to the idol on his 32nd birthday, sparking outrage.

A post made on TikTok with a birthday video earned over 54 thousand likes.

Some people expressed their disgust for the attention, saying it's 'disgusting' and that the idol's actions justify no praise.

The video's popularity on TikTok and a screenshot posted on X sparked debate about the idol's guilt and the reactions of his fans.
