Taeyong's artist management company warns informant to stop spreading false news

SM Entertainment recently announced that the organisation will be taking legal action against the false rumours surrounding artist Taeyong. In the page-long statement, the organisation talked about the whole incident. A while back, the NCT member was accused of insensitive behaviour and he also apologised for it but the incident kept snowballing due to Taeyong's old classmates. Reportedly, the fiasco has been going on for quite some time now deliberately to ruin Taeyong's image.

It mentioned how Taeyong has already apologised for his actions and compensated for the same. But still, the informant keeps on making distorted claims in order to attack the artist. SM then added how it has always been aware of this fact but the informant is an old classmate of Taeyong and Taeyong was worried that this would indirectly affect his old school mates as well. The company wrote how Taeyong has "patiently endured the situation out of the concern that his middle school classmates may potentially be harmed".
