According to reports, Tail was charged on June 13 after the victim reported the incident. Amid this, it became clear that Tail had conducted a live stream the day after being charged. On June 14, celebrating his birthday, he held a live stream where he expressed gratitude to fans, saying, 'Thank you for celebrating my birthday. Thanks to Shizuni (the name of his fans), I was able to spend such a happy birthday.' During the stream, Tail communicated with fans in a cheerful manner, discussing his fashion preferences and singing while playing the guitar. Prior to this, on August 28, SM Entertainment reported that Tail had been accused of sexual crimes.
