SuperM’s Taeyong Under Fire For Allegedly Being Homophobic Towards Former Classmate

SuperM’s Taeyong has come under fire as having allegedly directed extremely hurtful and homophobic comments towards a former classmate.

Recently, a picture of Taeyong’s old school graduation album surfaced, and one particular photo drew harsh criticism towards the singer:

The writing on the picture translates to:

Everyone was so fun and everyone has such good personalities and I believe that everyone will make it big. But. It won’t happen because [name of student blacked out] are gay. I can be sure of that. —Taeyong

When the picture began circulating online, netizens began to level accusations of homophobia and bullying towards Taeyong, leaving lots of comments about the incident:

He wrote this on a graduation album where everybody can see. The person who publicized this is a sexual minority. Even if the student wasn’t actually gay, Taeyong is still punishable for defamation of character. Taeyong is a criminal.

“Everybody will succeed but you never will because you’re gay”? Is he crazy? Super M is to advance into the US so I’m sure the US is sensitive about things like this. His character…

Why do the fans try to claim that he apologized ㅋㅋ Of course he should apologize. Even if he’s forgiven, his fault still doesn’t disappear. Taeyong said he’s in pain from the guilt but he actually didn’t apologize to his victims? You guys hate it when we say NCT won’t succeed because of Taeyong, but you should be behaving better.

Not long ago, Taeyong was accused of being a bully in his middle school days, with a former SM trainee even commenting on the matter. The matter has since been put to rest as false, but with a similar issue like this one cropping up, netizens are extremely riled up about the number of controversies he’s faced since debut.
