South Korean pop star Taeil has left K-pop group NCT after allegations of an unspecified sexual crime, his record label has announced.<\/p>\n

SM Entertainment released a statement on X, confirming the 30-year-old singer would no longer be part of the boy band after learning he had been “accused in a criminal case related to a sexual crime”.<\/p>\n

The label did not specify the nature of the alleged crime.<\/p>\n

The statement went on: “We recognised the seriousness of the issue, and we have decided that Taeil can no longer continue team activities.<\/p>\n

“We have discussed this matter with Taeil, and it has been decided that he will leave the group.”<\/p>\n

The label said the singer, whose real name is Moon Tae-il, is fully cooperating with the police investigation.<\/p>\n

NCT, or Neo Culture Technology, released their first single in 2016, and is popular around the world.<\/p>\n
