"Hello. We would like to inform everyone about the health condition and future schedule of NCT member Taeil.

In August, Taeil suffered injuries from a motorcycle accident, and this required immediate treatment. Taeil successfully completed the surgery and began the process of recovering his health through treatment with the resolve of meeting fans again.

With this sudden information, we kindly ask for the understanding of fans. We would also like to thank fans for their concern with Taeil. We will do the best we can to guarantee Taeil's good health so he can greet fans again.

Thank you."
