A look back at Taeil’s absence from group activities
The accident, which occurred on August 15, 2023, led SM Entertainment to announce Taeil’s break from all NCT group activities. This decision meant Taeil missed the NCT Nation: To The World concert in late August and the promotional activities for NCT 127’s album, Fact Check.
