**K-Pop Star Taeil Sentenced for Assaulting Chinese Tourist**

A former member of NCT faces prison time after pleading guilty to rape charges, sparking outrage in South Korea.


Taeil, along with two accomplices, received a three and a half-year sentence following an incident involving a heavily intoxicated tourist.


In a high-profile case that has stirred significant public outrage in South Korea, K-pop singer Taeil, legally known as Moon Tae-il, and two of his associates were sentenced to three and a half years in prison on rape charges involving a Chinese tourist. The sentencing occurred on Thursday at the Seoul Central District Court, where Judge Lee Hyun-kyung highlighted the severity of the crime and the potential mental anguish endured by the victim in a foreign environment.

The incident dates back to last year when the 31-year-old singer and his accomplices met the victim at a Seoul bar. They then took her in a taxi to the apartment of one of the defendants, where they proceeded to sexually assault her while she was inebriated. Prosecutors, who initially sought a seven-year sentence, indicated that the defendants had purposely relocated the victim in order to impede her memory of the confrontation.

Taeil, who wore a black T-shirt and slacks, appeared subdued as the judge detailed the verdict. Following the ruling, reactions in the courtroom were muted; however, many individuals on social media expressed their dissatisfaction with what they deemed an insufficient punishment for the crimes committed.
