South Korea's Supreme Court has finalized a three-and-a-half-year prison sentence for former K-pop group NCT member Taeil. The court rejected his final appeal in a 2023 aggravated rape case involving an intoxicated foreign woman. Taeil and two accomplices were found guilty of a special quasi-rape charge. Alongside the prison term, he must complete a sexual violence treatment program and faces a ban on employment at child-related institutions.
