[KPKF] NCT Taeyong insulted a gay student in graduation album?

It looks like it says I Tae Yon (이태욘) in the wall (or even Yod, which is not a possible Korean name syllable at all, so I’m going with Yon), not I Tae Yong (이태용). Maybe I’m wrong and native Korean speakers understand this better, It could be a handwriting variation of ㅇ the way the <ld> looking symbol is an alternate/acceptable variation of ㅂ, but it doesn’t look like a circle at all, nor does the writer seem to have issues writing ㅇ clearly in other words. 

That doesn’t mean I condone homophobia, I’m gay myself. Nor I’m trying to defend oppa. I’m a girl group stan, I don’t even care about boy groups. I’m just saying that doesn’t look like his name to me, a non-Korean who is trying to read handwriting hangeul.

 

EDIT: It turns out it was him and handwriting hangeul is still unclear to me.

I don't hate him or anything but some people has said that taeyon isn't a korean name either so it has to be Taeyong.

This is true, he personally met and apologized to his school mates whom he treated badly. Denyists and apologists can have a look.

all it says is that he's close friends with the student he wrote the comment about, stop trying to push the narrative that Taeyong was being purposely insulting when he wrote that comment when even that link says he wasn't. He didn't apologize to his friend that he wrote the comment about in the yearbook (which is what this particular topic is about). The part about him apologizing to the victim was talking about a different classmate. 

 

but it still doesn't explain why he wrote ㅇ clearly everywhere else but wrote it ambiguously/like a ㄴ in 용

As said by @Just Peachy in previous page

And no one is questioning that the signature name says 태용 (Taeyong) on the K-netz side, bc 태욘 (Taeyon) simply isn't a name. A name would never end on 'yon' like that. For that to be a Korean name, it would end on 'yeon' and therefore be spelled 태연 (Taeyeon) instead. Given how the start of the syllable is written as ㅛ and not ㅕ, it's more believable that it's simply a stylistic choice or just bad handwriting. As the translation site pointed out in their tweet, when you look closely it actually does look like he wrote a scribblyㅇ, like this:

Neither knetz nor his kfans pointed it out because I think they knew it's not a problem.
