Former NCT Taeil faced the first trial for his aggravated rape charges on June 18. The court session revealed detailed assault information, including specifics about the victim.
Multiple news outlets streamed live before the trial started, capturing a masked individual walking into the court. Fans quickly speculated this person might be an idol, pointing out their blond hair and comparing them to NCT members.
However, netizens debunked the rumors. They noted only Ten from NCT has blond hair, but he’s currently in Japan and doesn’t match the person’s body type. No media confirmed any celebrity presence at the trial.
Fans slammed the misinformation spreading online:
“Spreading misinformation when the media already confirmed that no witnesses or celebrities were present at the trial… just say you dgaf about neither the issue nor the victim and gtfo”
