This is SM Entertainment.
We have recently confirmed that Taeil has been implicated in a criminal case related to sex crime.
While looking into the situation, we recognized that the issue is very serious, and we have decided that Taeil could no longer continue team activities. We have discussed this matter with Taeil and it has been decided he will be removed from the group.
Currently, Taeil is faithfully cooperating with the police investigation. We will share additional statements as the investigation progresses.
We deeply apologize for the controversy caused by the artist.
