what happened to lucas nct

Lucas, a former member of NCT and its sub-units WayV and SuperM, was involved in a controversy in August 2021 when allegations from several women accused him of cheating, gaslighting, and financial exploitation. Following these allegations, Lucas and his agencies, SM Entertainment and Label V, announced his indefinite hiatus to reflect on his actions. There was a lot of confusion and division among fans due to the nature of the statements, which apologized but did not clearly confirm or deny the allegations. After nearly two years of hiatus, in May 2023, SM Entertainment officially announced that Lucas would depart from NCT and WayV by mutual decision. However, he remained under SM Entertainment and was set to pursue individual activities as a solo artist. Since then, Lucas has reintroduced himself as a solo artist, releasing music and engaging with fans independently. In 2025, Lucas also made his acting debut in a Taiwanese drama, marking a new phase in his career outside of his previous group activities. He has expressed gratitude for opportunities and is focused on his solo projects and acting development.
