A K-pop singer known as Taeil and two other men were each sentenced to three and a half years in jail on Thursday on a rape charge in a case involving a tourist who was visiting South Korea last year.

艺名泰一的韩国流行歌手和另外两名男子周四分别被判处三年半有期徒刑，他们被指控犯有强奸罪，该案涉及一名去年曾访问韩国的游客。

Taeil, 31, whose legal name is Moon Tae-il, had pleaded guilty last month along with the other two. According to the local media, the defendants met the woman, a Chinese national, at a bar in Seoul. They took her in a taxi to the home of one of the defendants, where they sexually assaulted her while she was heavily intoxicated.

31岁的泰一本名文泰一，他已在上个月和其他两名男子一起对指控认罪。据当地媒体报道，三名被告在首尔一家酒吧遇到一名中国女子。他们将她带上一辆出租车，带到其中一名被告家里，在女子大醉的情况下性侵了她。

Prosecutors had sought a seven-year jail term. They said it appeared that the suspects had deliberately moved the victim to another location so it would be hard for her to recall details of the attack.

检方曾要求对被告判处七年有期徒刑。检方称，嫌犯似乎故意将受害者转移到其他地方，让她在回忆侵犯细节上有困难。

Mr. Moon, a former member of NCT, a popular boy band, appeared in Seoul Central District Court on Thursday wearing a black T-shirt and slacks. His eyes were downcast as Judge Lee Hyun-kyung read aloud his sentence.

文泰一曾是受欢迎的男孩乐队NCT的成员，他周四在首尔中央地方法院出庭时，穿着黑色T恤和休闲裤。法官李贤庆宣读判决时，他低垂双眼。

“The crime is severe,” she said. Their target “likely suffered great mental pain from being a victim in an unfamiliar place.”

“犯罪性质恶劣，”法官说。他们选择的对象“在一个不熟悉的地方成为受害人，可能遭受了极大的精神创伤”。

There was no noticeable reaction from the defendants or others in the courtroom to the sentences, but some people on social media expressed anger, saying the sentences were not long enough.

虽然被告或法庭上的其他人没有对判决做出明显反应，但一些人在社交媒体上表达了愤怒，认为刑期不够长。

The three men had pleaded guilty to what South Korean law calls “special quasi-rape,” which applies in certain cases such as when the victim is unconscious, and two or more perpetrators are involved. The maximum sentence for that crime is life in prison.

这三名男子已承认犯有韩国法律上称为“特殊准强奸”的罪行，该罪适用于受害者神志不清、以及涉及两名或两名以上施暴者的情况，对此罪的最高惩罚是无期徒刑。

All three defendants were taken into custody immediately after the sentencing. They also will need to complete 40 hours of a program for sexual violence.

三名被告在宣判后被当庭羁押。他们还需要完成40小时性暴力治疗课程。

Mr. Moon isn’t the first K-pop star to be jailed for sex crimes in recent years.

文泰一不是近年来因性犯罪入狱的唯一的韩国流行音乐明星。

In 2019, Choi Jong-hoon and Jung Joon-young were given jail terms of five and six years for raping women who were too drunk to give consent, and for making and sharing videos of the assaults online. Seungri, a former member of BigBang, was sentenced to three years in prison in 2021 for sex crimes that included arranging for prostitution at a night club called Burning Sun.

2019年，崔钟训和郑俊英分别被判处五年和六年有期徒刑，罪名是强奸因醉酒而没有能力表示同意的女性，以及制作并在网上分享了性侵视频。2021年，BigBang乐队前成员、艺名“胜利”的歌手因性犯罪被判处三年有期徒刑，他的罪行包括安排妓女在一家名为Burning Sun的夜总会提供性服务。

Last August, Mr. Moon’s management company released a statement saying he was “accused in a criminal case involving sex crimes” and that he had left the band.

文泰一的经纪公司去年8月已发声明说，他“被指控涉嫌性犯罪”，已退出乐队。

“We apologize for the controversy that’s been caused by our artist,” the label said. In October, the label announced it had terminated Mr. Moon’s contract.

“我们对我们的艺人引发的争议深表歉意，”该公司写道。去年10月，该公司宣布终止了与文泰一的合同。

Mr. Moon made his debut in 2016 in a sub-unit of NCT, a popular boy band from SM Entertainment, one of the nation’s largest K-pop labels. His discography includes dozens of group albums and soundtracks for Korean dramas, including Netflix’s “Song of the Bandits” in 2023. His latest work was a solo track for the period piece “Missing Crown Prince,” which aired last year.

 文泰一是2016年出道的，当时是以NCT小分队成员的身份，NCT是韩国最大的韩流音乐公司之一SM娱乐旗下的热门男孩乐队。他的音乐作品包括几十张团体专辑和韩剧原声带，其中包括Netflix2023年推出的《土匪之歌》。他的最新作品是去年播出的时代剧《失踪的世子》的一个独唱曲目。

He was also a social media star. In 2021, Mr. Moon broke the Guinness World Record for being the fastest to reach a million followers on Instagram. His account, which had 4.3 million followers, is currently private and videos from his YouTube channel have been taken down.

他也是一名社交媒体明星。文泰一曾在2021年打破了吉尼斯世界纪录，成为Instagram上最快获得百万粉丝的人。他的Instagram账号曾拥有430万粉丝，目前处于私密状态。他发在YouTube频道的视频也已被删除。
