NCT's Taeyong apologized for his past mistakes.

It had been discovered that in the past, Taeyong scammed buyers on a used auction website either by not sending the bought item or sending a defective item. He's said to have been banned multiple times under different IDs, and he allegedly made threats against users who sent him complaints or questions about the bought item.

Although Taeyong has apologized through the label before, Taeyong personally apologized through an episode of 'NCT LIFE'. He teared up while saying, "I think a lot about the embarrassing and regretful things I did when I was young, before debut. Even now, it's all I can think about. It fills up my head. I know I should have talked about this before. I want to sincerely apologize to everyone I've hurt when I was immature, thoughtless, and inconsiderate. I have to work hard from now on. I have to do well so I can be honorable in front of the other members. I have to."

He added, "It must have been hard to like me, so I'm grateful that people like me even though I'm like this. I'm also very grateful for the team members for understanding and liking me."
