TAEIL (former NCT), accused of ”special quasi-rape,” went on a live stream after a sexual crime... Criticism mounts over his brazenness

TAEIL, a former member of the Korean boy group NCT, who was referred to prosecutors on suspicion of sexual crimes, is facing a barrage of criticism for the live stream he continued to host with no qualms after the incident.
On the 7th, a Korean media outlet reported that TAEIL was being investigated at the Bangbae Police Station in Seoul on suspicion of special quasi-rape, and was reported to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on the 12th of last month.
According to the report, TAEIL is suspected of sexually assaulting a drunk woman in June this year together with two acquaintances. The special quasi-rape charge applied to TAEIL is the use of a weapon.
It is considered a crime when two or more people have sex with a person who is incapacitated or unable to resist, and if the charges are confirmed, according to Article 4, Section 1 of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Assault Crimes in Korea,
He will be sentenced to seven years or more in prison or life imprisonment. The police had previously announced that they had filed charges against Taeil after receiving a report from the victim on June 13.
Following Il's first police summons for investigation, the management office SM Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as SM) stated on the same day, "We have confirmed that TAEIL has been accused of a criminal case related to sexual crimes," and
He announced his withdrawal from "NCT". Until then, the specific charges against TAEIL were unknown, but it was reported that he had been sued for special attempted rape. In response, the management office said,
He stated, "It is difficult to comment since the matter is currently under investigation." As it was known that he was accused of special quasi-rape, TAEIL was aware that his actions were a serious crime.
However, on June 14th, the day after TAEIL was reported to the police for committing a sexual crime, the spotlight is turning again on the video of him livestreaming on social media.
At the time, TAEIL expressed his gratitude to the fans who celebrated his birthday, saying, "Thanks to all of you, I am able to have such a happy birthday.
Although he did not know that he had been charged, his calm gratitude for the support of his fans after committing a sex crime has left not only his fans but also internet users in awe.
This has angered many, with many criticizing the move, with comments such as "How brazen" and "Doesn't he think about the victim? He has no conscience."
TAEIL, who is suspected of gang rape, has not yet been summoned for investigation by the prosecution.
There is growing interest in what kind of punishment will be given to him in the future.
