TAEIL, who left NCT due to sexual assault, is seen at a bar ahead of his first trial...he must be going through a tough time?

A report of a sighting of TAEIL, a former member of the Korean boy group "NCT," has been circulating. Recently, a netizen in an online community said that he saw TAEIL at a bar.
An eyewitness account of Taeil's involvement has gone viral. The netizen posted a photo of him attending a drinking party ahead of his first hearing on charges of sexual assault.
In the photo, the man's face is in a dim light, and the user wrote, "I happened to see my friend eating dinner and took a picture of him, but the man next to him
He added, "An acquaintance of his told me, 'He's going through a difficult time, so please don't take pictures,'" drawing attention to the situation.
In addition, the 26th Division 4 of the Seoul Central District Court recently announced that it would impose a fine of up to 10,000 yen on three individuals, including TAEIL, for sexual assault crimes.
The first trial date for the suspected violation of the Special Act on the Promotion of Sexual Assault (crimes such as group quasi-forced intercourse) was set for May 12th.
SM Entertainment announced the news for the first time, saying, "We have confirmed that Taeil has recently been accused of a criminal offense related to sexual assault." After reviewing the facts, we have come to the realization that the case is very serious.
After learning about the incident, I decided that I could no longer continue with my activities as a group," he said, announcing TAEIL's departure from NCT.
It was reported that he was charged in June of the same year with suspicion. Special level rape is committed when a person possesses a deadly weapon or when two or more people conspire to commit adultery by taking advantage of the victim's inability to resist, such as when they are mentally or physically incapacitated.
SM Entertainment announced the termination of their exclusive contract with TAEIL in October of that year, stating, "TAEIL is currently being investigated by the prosecution for a criminal case, which is grounds for termination of the exclusive contract.
However, we could no longer trust him as an artist, and so we have decided to terminate the exclusive contract with his consent."
