Prosecutors requested a 7 year sentence, and while the judge did call the crime “extremely grave,” they were only given half of the requested time.
The K-Pop group NCT parted ways with Taeil, one of its many members, amid the accusations last year. If you don’t know, the 31-year-old musician was a member of the overarching K-Pop group and participated in one of its subgroups NCT 127.
