NCT Yuta's alleged reaction to Taeil goes viral: Member refuses to sign album
Former NCT member Taeil has been a hot topic for many due to his trial for the rape and assault of a woman alongside his two acquaintances. While his company had mainly stated how he would be leaving the group, other NCT members had completely avoided mentioning him on all occasions. Until recently, however, allegedly one of the Japanese members of the group, Yuta, shared his reaction, which has sparked debate online. Here's what we know about the matter. NCT Yuta 's alleged reaction to former member Taeil Recently, a video of the idol has been going viral online after he refused and apologised to a fan for not being able to sign the album that she had brought there. While many wondered why this happened, it was later shared by the fan that she had brought the 2020 release 'Neo Zone' at the fashion week in order to get it signed. While the management agency, as well as members and fans, have tried to remove traces of Taeil from the group, old and already released album covers and other content still exist. In the video, the singer can be seen looking at the album cover first and then apologising for being unable to sign it. Fans have alleged that since the cover was old, it had Taeil's face on it, due to which Yuta refused to sign it. This alleged reaction to the now convicted criminal has drawn a series of mixed reactions from fans. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Fans react to the viral video Many fans shared their opinion online after the fab-taken video went viral.
