Lucas will be leaving NCT and WayV.
SM Entertainment announced on May 10th, “After our deliberate discussion with Lucas, we made a mutual decision that Lucas will part ways with NCT and WayV to pursue his individual endeavors.“
They continued, “We ask for your understanding as this was a decision taken after much consideration of both the members and fans.“
They added, “Lucas is planning on showing his performances through a wide variety of individual works from now on.“
After that, Lucas posted a handwritten letter on his SNS. In the letter, he confessed, “Hello, this is Lucas. Today, I have an important announcement to share with you. After much deliberation and reflection, I have made the difficult decision to part ways with the group NCT and WayV. I sincerely feel sorry for the members, and it is with a heavy heart that I leave behind a long-standing friendship. It has been nearly 8 years since I first joined the members, and I am deeply grateful for their care and support. I will cherish these memories and never forget. I hope that the members will remember me as Huang Xuxi, not just Lucas. I genuinely love them and will always support them from the bottom of my heart. It took considerable time for me to reach this decision, and I believe this is the right decision for the good of all. Moving forward, I intend to muster the courage to face the fans who have been waiting for me and to pursue individual endeavors. I believe the best way to repay the fans who support me is by continuing to deliver outstanding performances. I will strive to become a more mature Huang Xuxi and an even better Lucas. Lastly, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the fans and everyone who has continually supported me.“
Meanwhile, Lucas suspended all activities in 2020 due to private life issues.
