Official Statement:
The following is all from the article:
(it's a very long complaint document, we will translate the big lines)
Reason for the statement: Supporting Taeyong's withdrawal because of his persistent bad influence on NCT 127 and NCT's brand image by being affiliated to them.
- details about his pre-debut controversies and how this affected the general public's perception and tainted the group's name.
- ever since TY's involvement with school violence was revealed, it fueled the issue even more.
- although the fans took Taeyong's reflection and SM's side of TY's story as the absolute truth and decided to support his activities, recently, the additional information revealed by the informant revealed a clearer picture to the issue making the fandom now request for his withdrawal
Those are the main reasons:
1. Taeyong has never given a feedback regarding the issues he was dealing with, in this manner, he shouldn't be allowed to promote
2. The fandom has lost trust in Taeyong regarding the school violence involvement and how he handled the situation so badly
3. By allowing him to continue promotions would be like killing the victim and the informant twice
4. Disrupting NCT's image and growth, and contributing to their fame decline
The real fandom has approved and signed this document
knetizens reactions
1. The other members and the fans must be so annoyed at this point, he ruined NCT's image so much
2. It's true that he tainted NCT's image and he became the wall to entering the fandom, yet he's the member who is receiving the biggest push, he's everywhere, and he's usually the only member that muggles recognize when we talk about NCT. The scamming image is still there and it has never changed. And now, we added bullying on top of it
3. I seriously hate Twitter stans. They're always reporting every tweet calling out male idolsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Those people are disgusting
4. I seriously get amazed at Twitter, usually controversies like that would've been blown huge, but why are they acting like that
5. F*ck that reporting tweet, do they have any conscience? You're only reporting that statement because you think only about yourselves and your own idolㅋㅋ I'm f*cking speechlessㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
6. Seriously as someone who barely knows anything about idols, I only know them for being that scammer's group... I can't remember anything else about them
7. To be honest, this guy is singlehandly blocking the path for their group until now... Whenever I mention NCT to people around me, all the responses are always "Ah that scammer?"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
8. Interestingly, this statement is better written than their company's statement
Of course, he should apologize to his victims, but he should also stop hurting his members and the fans. I support them!
9. I can only see Taeyong I love you mooch mooch on Twitter and I knew that something was up. So they were trying to trend those hashtags, I looked at this hashtags thinking they would get a few thousands, but it actually surpassed 10,000
10. To be honest I don't understand what Lee Sooman is thinking. NCT will do so well if only he withdrew
Will SM respond? seems like K-NCTizens are Mad af.
