[My Daily = Reporter Lee Seung-gil] The prosecution has sought a 7-year prison sentence for Taeil (real name Moon Tae-il), a former member of the group NCT.

On the 18th, the first trial for Taeil and two others regarding charges of violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (special quasi-rape) was held in the 26th Criminal Division (Section D) of the Seoul Central District Court.

On this day, Taeil appeared in court along with the two other defendants and admitted to all the charges, and the prosecution sought a 7-year sentence along with a 10-year employment restriction for all of them.

Previously, the Women and Children’s Crime Investigation Division 1 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office indicted Taeil and two accomplices without detention last March on charges of special quasi-rape under the Sexual Violence Punishment Act.

,
They are accused of raping a woman who was intoxicated last June with two acquaintances. The charge of special quasi-rape was applied because they allegedly acted together to sexually penetrate a person in a state of incapacity.

As a result of the incident, Taeil was expelled from NCT and his agency, SM Entertainment. At the time, SM Entertainment stated, “The exclusive contract with Taeil was terminated as of October 15, 2024,” adding, “Taeil is currently under investigation by the prosecution due to a criminal complaint, which not only constitutes grounds for termination of the contract but also makes it impossible to continue trust as an artist. Thus, we have decided to terminate the contract by mutual agreement with him.”
