Entertainment agency SM Entertainment has finally officially terminated its contract with Taeil , a former member of the boy group NCT. Quoting from Soompi on Wednesday October 16, 2024, Taeil's contract with SM Entertainment officially ended on October 15, 2024.

This news was conveyed directly by SM Entertainment through their official announcement. In their announcement, the agency stated that the investigation into the sexual crime case involving Taeil was one of the main reasons they terminated the contract, with the agreement of both parties. 

SM Entertainment also stated that they had lost trust in Taeil because of the case. "Hello, this is SM Entertainment. We would like to inform you that our exclusive contract with Taeil has been suspended as of October 15, 2024. Taeil is currently undergoing investigation for a criminal case. 

This is not only grounds for terminating our contract, but also makes it impossible to trust him as an artist," SM Entertainment said. The agency closed their statement by once again apologizing profusely for making many people feel uncomfortable due to the case that dragged in the name of their former artist, Taeil.

"Therefore, both parties have agreed to terminate the contract. We sincerely apologize once again for any concerns caused by Taeil, who was previously one of our artists," SM Entertainment concluded. Meanwhile, last August, SM Entertainment announced Taeil's removal from the boy group NCT, after he was accused of committing a sexual assault crime.

Earlier this month, authorities reported that Taeil was being investigated for alleged aggravated rape, allegedly committed against a drunk woman with two acquaintances. SM Entertainment's announcement this time also answers the anger of fans who consider the agency to be less fast and responsive in handling cases involving artists under its auspices. 

After the announcement of the termination of the contract with Taeil, SM Entertainment was not responsible for reporting updates on the investigation case he was undergoing. Fans also hope that Taeil will receive a punishment that is commensurate with the crimes he committed.
