(T/N: this post is veryyyy long and as usual, we will paraphrase most of it but we will still try to translate as much details as possible)





He sold items online and sent bricks afterwards?

This was not the truth





This is a screencaps of people who wanted to start a bad rumor against Taeyong.





“The important part is that he didn’t go on reflection. People sent him money and he sent them bricks. He was an iljin that was famous at school and he was known to harass people on a daily basis.”





The most famous story was how he sent bricks instead of the figurines. In the first scandal, after shipping the goods out, the purchaser expressed his/her discontentment and asked Taeyong or a refund (which he repaid) so it wasn’t a scam. He never sent out any bricks.





Aside from these stories, there were also people saying how he sent empty boxes and that he took the money and disappeared. But again, there was only friction between the purchaser and Taeyong. Taeyong said that he would meet the purchaser at another time at Sindorim to give him/her the missing parts. It wasn’t a scam.





The only true story was that Taeyong sent defective Gundam toys but people only paid him a small amount. The other two stories (the brick one and him running away with the money) were made up by people cherry picking facts from his Gundam scandal.





After his scamming scandal spread out, SM made him apologize and wrote an article about it. He then went on reflection.





Basically, people reads posts about him on a café and decided to cherry pick facts which turned into the scamming scandal.





(2)

Taeyong sent a note to the victim filled with swear words

This was not sent to the victim





The notes containing profanity is a separate case from the ones seen above. These are notes that one of the café member sent to Taeyong. Basically, they were both kinda insulting each other and had an online quarrel. But people who said that Taeyong sent these notes to the one that received bricks which was false.





(3)

He has been blacklisted because of his scams so he made several IDs

This was not the truth





Even if Taeyong had 4 different IDs (hssarang98, julyfirst1, i55052 & 1021kms), it wasn’t true that it was because of his scam and he wasn’t blacklisted. The reason he made 4 different IDs was because 2 of the IDs were related to him sending profanity notes and that one of his account’s business was halted (because a lot of reviewers said that his Gungdams were too expensive, that they weren’t paint properly, etc.).





You cannot find any of his ID’s in the blacklist related to scamming.

ㅇㅇ | 2017.02.23 02:51 신고하기 Please I wish that a lot of people see this and stop misunderstanding him. There's still people calling him "Scamyong" and only treats him as a scammer. People who don't know about him just go around and treat any rumors they hear as fact and blow this out of proportions. It must've been hard on him, even for the fans seeing this made our hearts hurt. I looked at his broadcasts many times and he's really bright and tries his hardest as a leader, but there's still a lot of people who don't know this side of him. I wish more people knew about this. I really wished SM sued those people who made rumors about him. 추천 132 반대 17

That the proofs of his graduating pictures were also false, etc. That his personalities were good and that no one ever said bad stuff about him. Taeyong sent the right model of toy to the purchaser but some parts fell off when it was sent out. Taeyong said that if he made a mistake to meet him and he'll give the parts that fell off. The purchaser refused to meet him and posted a post online saying he got scammed. In the end Scam(x), Parts were rubbed off (o). )



ㅇㅇ | 2017.02.23 02:43 신고하기 When this issue blew up on other website, whenever NCT was mentioned everyone's reaction was just "That group with the scammer?" ㅠㅠㅠ Please let everyone know about this, and I wish a hard life to those who started the rumor 이미지확대보기 추천 57 반대 5

ㅇㅇ | 2017.02.22 22:40 신고하기 Even the one where he dissed the female student was fabricated by male communities ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ SM probably didn't take any legal actions and instead made Taeyong apologize for this to end the controversy, seeing how he's called Scam-yong, he must be feeling f*cking wronged;; 추천 269 반대 20



ㅇㅇ | 2017.02.22 22:20 신고하기 But ever since the beginning Taeyong has never sent out bricks as a scam? 추천 258 반대 30



ㅇㅇ | 2017.02.22 22:25 신고하기 Seriously it's true that the fact that he swore at people and made family disses were fabricated, doesn’t that make the people who shared the stories the same as Taeyong ? W hen you look at his comment during middle school 2nd grade, he never swore at people though, it was quite the opposite 이미지확대보기 추천 223 반대 13
