NCT’s Jaehyun has postponed his highly anticipated solo fan sign event following the recent removal of fellow NCT member Taeil from the group due to serious allegations. This decision has sent shockwaves through the K-pop community, leaving fans concerned and seeking clarity.

Taeil’s Removal from NCT

On August 28, 2024, SM Entertainment announced that Taeil had been accused of involvement in a criminal case related to sexual offenses. The company did not disclose specific details about the crime but emphasized the seriousness of the situation.

“While looking into the situation, we recognized that the issue is very serious, and we have decided that Taeil could no longer continue team activities,” SM Entertainment stated. “We have discussed this matter with Taeil, and it has been decided he will be removed from the group.”

The company also noted that Taeil is cooperating with the ongoing police investigation. SM Entertainment promised to provide further updates as the situation develops and expressed regret over the controversy.

Postponement of Jaehyun’s Fan Sign Event

In the wake of Taeil’s exit, Soundwave, the event organizer, announced the postponement of Jaehyun’s solo fan sign event, initially scheduled for August 29, 2024. The event was meant to celebrate Jaehyun’s debut solo album, “J”.

“Hello, this is Soundwave.
The fan signing event for Jaehyun (JAEHYUN) – 1st Album J (J Ver.), which was scheduled to take place on August 29, has been temporarily postponed due to unavoidable circumstances.
When a new date is confirmed, we will notify the selected participants individually. We sincerely ask for your understanding.
Thank you.”

The postponement of Jaehyun’s event has cast a shadow over what was meant to be a celebratory occasion for both the artist and his fans. Jaehyun’s solo debut has been highly anticipated, and the timing of the scandal has unfortunately overshadowed this milestone.

As the investigation into Taeil’s case continues, both SM Entertainment and fans are awaiting further information.
