The members quickly decided to unfollow Taeil on social media.
Taeil is leaving NCT because he is accused of being connected to a sexual crime case.
While SM Entertainment's decision was sudden and drastic, everyone immediately assumed that the situation was very serious.

This belief was further reinforced by fans when they noticed NCT members unfollowing Taeil on Instagram one by one. Specifically, NCT 127 members Doyoung, Taeyong, Jungwoo, Mark, Haechan, Johnny, and Chenle all unfollowed Taeil's account.
On Weverse, NCT 127's profile picture was also changed to one that does not include Taeil.
