Nam Taehyun Makes Controversial Return with New Song 'RAIN' Amid DUI Investigation

Nam Taehyun (남태현), a singer previously sentenced to probation for drug use, is facing backlash after releasing his new song 'RAIN' on May 9, 2025, despite being under investigation for a recent DUI incident. On April 27, at approximately 4:10 AM, he crashed into a median near Dongjak Bridge on the Gangbyeon Expressway in Seoul, with a blood alcohol concentration exceeding the legal limit of 0.08%. This incident occurred during his probation period for a previous drug-related conviction, and he had also been fined 6 million won for DUI in 2023.

Despite the controversy, Nam Taehyun released 'RAIN' at 6 PM on the same day. He was involved in writing and composing the track, which reflects the pain and confusion of losing oneself over time in what was once believed to be love. He described the song as a candid exploration of the remnants of past relationships and the truths he faced.

However, public reaction has been overwhelmingly negative. Many netizens expressed their disapproval, stating, "At this point, he doesn't deserve to discuss a comeback," and "He has squandered repeated opportunities for redemption," criticizing the lack of reflection before releasing new music.

Following his probation for drug charges, Nam Taehyun had been preparing for a comeback, but this latest DUI incident has further eroded public trust. The ongoing criticism surrounding his return and the release of his new song has left the atmosphere quite frosty.
