It isn’t uncommon for serious crimes such as sexual assault or abuse to have a sentence as short as three years. In the context of former NCT (엔시티) member Taeil’s (문태일) trial, many hoped this would not be the outcome. When his verdict was released on 18th June (Wednesday) that he was to get 7 years in prison, people were already frustrated with how the government was treating the case. Since people who consume drugs are often faced with much higher charges.

However, on the 10th July (Thursday), the defence made a statement that Taeil and the victim have settled an agreement and requested leniency on his sentence. As a result, he was only to be charged 3 years and 6 months behind bars.

Moon Tae Il (문태일), known by his stage name Taeil, was accused of sexual assault on the 13th June (Friday). The case involved a foreign woman and was soon connected to three other men present that night. Authorities quickly opened an investigation, uncovering evidence that pointed to a premeditated and coordinated attack. Findings showed the woman was heavily intoxicated and unable to give consent.

The sequence of events became crucial to the case. Surveillance footage, witness accounts, and forensic evidence confirmed what happened that night. Prosecutors later revealed the assault occurred after the victim was rendered unconscious and taken to a private residence. All four men were indicted, each held accountable to different extents based on their involvement.

Netizens and former fans alike have made their opinions on the matter very clear. Many have spoken out about how lightly the government is treating the case. They argue that three years is not enough time for the disgraced singer to reflect on his actions. Furthermore, while Taeil will only face his consequences for 42 months, the victim must live with the trauma for life.

This contrast has sparked widespread frustration across social media platforms. Critics believe the sentence sends a harmful message about accountability and justice. Some worry it may discourage other victims from coming forward. As public outcry grows, pressure is mounting on officials to reevaluate how such cases are handled in the future.
