Here is the full story~
So On September 18, Wikitree reported that someone (referred to as “B”) claiming to be a classmate of Taeyong from his second year of middle school had witnessed him taking part in the bullying of another classmate (referred to as “A”) that was carried out by a group of students. “B” wrote that Taeyong had not been the leader of the group but had aided the leader in the bullying. They went on to say, “One day ‘A’ could not take [the bullying from the group] anymore and threw a chair.” They continued, “During the next class, they self-harmed by cutting their hand with a box cutter.”
Wikitree also shared a chat conversation between “B” and another participant in the bullying of “A,” who confirmed that they remembered the incident. The original post also included allegations that Taeyong made disparaging comments about others based on their looks, which have now been removed by the poster.

Here is SM Entertainment's statement regarding the recent and a few past allegations about Taeyong
:

In regards to the report about Taeyong, since it was something that happened 10 years ago in 2009, as his agency we requested a confirmation of records from his family, such as his middle school student records, in order to fully comprehend the situation.
The records were confirmed to show that there was no mention of what was talked about in the report and no record of disciplinary action, and his parents also did not have a meeting with his teacher regarding what was mentioned in the report.
Taeyong has deeply regretted the way he behaved without discretion and said hurtful things while he was in middle school before he began to dream of being a singer, and he has said both while he was a trainee and after his debut that he apologizes to everyone who was hurt. Now as well, he continues to self-reflect, and he works hard and does his best in regards to everything.
Taeyong once again is deeply self-reflecting on causing concern over events from when he was younger, he will feel a greater sense of responsibility, and he will live in an upright manner.

Damn that sucks :/
Whether or not these rumors are true, I guess we’ll have to see if there is any further evidence to it.

Doyoung had a Vlive with his fans today (yesterday for Asia) and I happened to read some comments asking about how is Taeyong doing or if he's feeling alright. I got confused in a moment and asked myself about what happened. I forgot to search more info about what happened and now I read it here (thanks by the way ). It is true that Taeyong regrets some things he did in the past and said sorry, he confessed to his fans about that-without details of course cause it's personal.
But that's all fake news about him. Their purpose is to make some fans think the opposite way-*knock-knock* It's not gonna happen, no matter what!
We all have made mistakes and regret for them, BUT, in my opinion, we should support our fav idols as they are. Past is past-suck it up, present is present-live the way you want to and future is future-dream it and create it as your heart wishes!

I saw a lot of post about this and what I know is, there is a bit of truth there. But he wasn't that bad. It's just he didn't like ugly people. But now he is deeply regretting about the things he has done and apologized to everyone he hurt. I saw that video where he apologized. That video is really touching and he even shed tears and I felt the honesty in that video. Even though he had done those things, he is different now and regretting a lot. He did those things when he was a child and he was immature then. If a person has changed, and not doing bad things anymore, we should respect that.
I really don't want any person in kpop to be a bad person. Specially NCT members
