Following the news of former NCT Taeil‘s removal from the group after being charged with sex crimes, information alleged to be related to the case circulated — both confirmed and unconfirmed.
Some connected Taeil to the “Nth Room,” as one of an alleged 200 idols that would supposedly be exposed for their involvement in sex crimes. This information has gained traction online, going viral as fans have discussed the possibilities.

However, this information has been confused with the ongoing new deepfake sex crime taking place in Korea, resulting in a mixture of facts.
To begin, there is currently a new ongoing case of sex crimes that has been collectively called “The New Nth Room,” consisting of different Telegram-based chatrooms with two different purposes.
All We Know About The “New Nth-Room” Telegram-Based Sexual Crimes Taking South Korea By Storm
Massive chatrooms with the intention of humiliating women, sometimes even family members, were first brought to attention, with school chatrooms used for sending sexual deepfakes of classmates gaining attention shortly after.
As revelations about these chatrooms have circulated, it appears that rumors have linked Taeil to being involved in one such chatroom.
A ‘humiliation room’ on Telegram with 1932 people in it. The room has various categories such as ‘cousin room,’ ‘mom room,’ ‘acquaintance room,’ ‘older sister room,’ and ‘younger sister room.’ Let’s look into what kind of photos are shared in these rooms. I have censored underwear and any skin showing, but I have left the clothes and blankets shown so that you can tell if you happen to be the victim. If it seems like it is you, please prove it and I will link you with the person who gave the tip-off.

The belief that Taeil is involved in the ongoing “New Nth Room” as an idol was incorrectly connected to the information about the original “Nth Room” case.
The original “Nth Room Sex Abuse Case” involved the assault of underage girls and women and subsequent blackmailing, leading to the arrest of many involved in 2020.
An article from Pitch One, detailing how members of the chat paid to be included, shared that “professors, famous celebrities, famous athletes, and persons with great fame are included in the list of Nth Room members.” The number 200 was later attached to this statement, though it was not specifically mentioned by the outlet.

While it is possible that there are male celebrities in the 2024 “New Nth Room” chatrooms, there has not been any official notice of this. Additionally, the police-provided details of Taeil’s sex crime do not include this information, meaning this is a case of rumors conflating with facts.
