Lucas of NCT told fans that he is leaving the band, as well as WayV, he said on social media on Wednesday, approximately two years after he suspended activities.
“After a long consideration, I’ve decided to quit groups NCT and WayV,” he wrote in Chinese. He said he feels really sorry and bad to leave his bandmates who have been together for almost eight years. He reiterated that this was the "best decision" for all of them, and that he will soon be back on his own.
His label SM Entertainment confirmed that he will continue his career as a solo performer.
Lucas was mired in a scandal in 2021 after someone claiming to be his ex-girlfriend wrote online that he forced her to pay for everything when they were dating.
When another person contested that she was in a relationship with him as well, he was accused of cheating, prompting him to halt all activities. – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
