K-pop artist quits boy band due to allegations of sexual offense

-

According to a statement released by his company on Wednesday, South Korean singer Taeil has left the K-pop group NCT following allegations of an undisclosed sexual offense.

The 30-year-old member of NCT will leave the boy band after finding out he has been "accused in a criminal case related to a sexual crime," according to a statement his agency, SM Entertainment, posted on X.

Though the label did not elaborate on the specifics of the alleged offense, it stated that Taeil, whose real name is Moon Tae-il, could no longer "continue his activities with the team" because it "recognised the seriousness of the situation".

Taeil has not addressed the accusations in the media.

SM Entertainment went on to say that he is helping the police investigation in any way possible.

According to the statement, which was issued in Korean and translated by Associated Press, "We will provide further statements as the investigation progresses."

According to South Korean media, the Bangbae Police Station in Seoul declared it was looking into Taeil in connection with a sexual offense.Police could not be reached for comment by the BBC.

Taeil was a member of the 2016-debuting, widely acclaimed South Korean boy band NCT, or Neo Culture Technology.

Presently, the group comprises more than twenty members, split among multiple subunits such as NCT 127, NCT Dream, and NCT Wish.

Taeil has been involved with NCT 127 lately.

Taeil was riding his motorcycle when he was involved in an automobile collision in downtown Seoul, South Korea, on August 15, last year.

In order to concentrate on his recuperation and therapy, he momentarily halted his schedule.
Known for their experimental music that crosses several genres, NCT has become well-known throughout the world after some of their recordings appeared on Billboard lists.

Hip-hop, R&B, and pop music were combined to create K-pop, which has its roots in South Korea.

With the success of the boy band BTS in the latter part of the 2010s, it has become an international sensation.

Ozempic Weight-loss drugs to Slow Down Ageing Process, scientists suggest

-

Drugs for weight loss have the potential to completely transform healthcare by delaying the aging process and extending life expectancy and quality of life. Leading scientists have made this stark statement in response to research that were presented at the European Society of Cardiology Conference in London last week. Studies have already shown that semaglutide , which is marketed under the names Ozempic and Wegovy , lowers the risk of death in patients with cardiovascular disease who are overweight or obese. However, more recent research has shown that Ozempic has effects that go beyond what was once thought to be possible for the medication. Researchers found that those who took the medication died at a decreased rate from all causes, not just cardiovascular ones. "Semaglutide has far-reaching benefits beyond what we initially imagined," Yale School of Medicine Professor Harlan Krumholz stated. It goes beyond just preventing heart attacks. They are advocates for ...

A team of paleontologists found matching dinosaur footprints on what are now two different continents, separated by thousands of miles of ocean.  The footprints, dating back to the Early Cretaceous period, were found in Brazil and in Cameroon , researchers wrote in a study published Monday by the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science. The discovery shows where land-dwelling dinosaurs were able to cross freely between South America and Africa before the two continents split apart millions of years ago . The study showed that the more than 260 footprints that were examined were imprinted in mud and silt along historic rivers and lakes; the footprints in South America and Africa were separated by more than 3,700 kilometers. Paleontologists discovered that they shared similarities in terms of age, shape, and plate tectonic and geological settings. According to Louis Jacobs , a paleontologist at Southern Methodist Universit y, dinosaurs left their mark 120 million year...
