A few days after the accident, Taeil updated fans, apologizing for making them worry, and confirmed that his surgery went well. He expressed some regret over missing the NCT Nation performances but assured everyone he was doing well with treatment.
I made it out of the surgery fine. And I’m doing great with treatment, too, so I’m well on my way to full recovery. I’ll get well soon so don’t worry!

Now, fans have been angered over the actions of the company again.
NCT 127 is preparing for a comeback, and over the last few weeks, teasers and promotions featuring the members have been shared. While some have had Taeil in them, many were likely shot after his accident, so he could not participate.

In the bottom left of the original photo, healing cuts can be seen in addition to the yellowing that happens to bruises as they heal. The re-uploaded photo was cropped accordingly to no longer show his leg.
