Singer Taeil is facing the music — to the tune of more than three years in prison — for a sex crime that prompted his departure from the K-Pop group NCT.

The singer pleaded guilty to a special quasi-rape charge, which applies when two or more people jointly engage in sexual acts with a victim who is unconscious.

K-pop star Taeil, former member of the popular South Korean boyband NCT, and two other men were each sentenced to 3.5 years in jail Thursday on a rape charge in a case involving a tourist who was visiting South Korea last year.
