Lucas Leaves NCT; SM Entertainment Announces
On May 10, 2021, SM Entertainment officially announces the departure of Lucas from NCT and WayV. Read the statement below.
“Hello, this is SM Entertainment.
We notify you regarding the future activities of our artist Lucas.
As a result of a serious discussion between Lucas and the agency, it has been decided that Lucas will leave NCT and WayV, and instead pursue solo activities. The decision was reached based on the belief that it was the best option to respect the other members and the fans, and thus, we ask for the understanding of all fans who have supported Lucas as a member of NCT and WayV.
From now on, Lucas will promote actively through various individual pursuits.
We would like to deliver out thanks to the fans for their endless love toward our artists, and ask that you continue to show your attention and support.
Thank you.”
In 2021, Lucas became embroiled in a scandal with her ex-girlfriend, who accused him of gold-digging and gaslighting in a post she shared on social media. Since then, SM Entertainment has halted his activities with NCT.
