Taeil

Taeil is a South Korean singer who was a member of NCT, the SM Entertainment group whose name stands for Neo Culture Technology, and he was mainly active in the Seoul-based unit NCT 127. He took part in the group's 2016 debut era and in the unit's later albums and world tours. He also released duet material with Haechan under the NCT U and NCT LAB banner, including the 2023 single "N.Y.C.T." In August 2024 SM Entertainment announced that he was leaving NCT after he was accused in a criminal case tied to a sexual crime, and the label said he was cooperating with police.

Where they grew up

The pages do not say where Taeil grew up. In a 2022 interview he said he had not expected to become a professional musician until a middle school teacher urged him to enter a music contest with a friend, and that experience pushed him toward music. His later answers show a taste for classic soul, as the first album he bought was a Stevie Wonder record. He also described becoming a movie fan as a young adult, starting with a first solo trip to the cinema.
