NCT’s Lucas Surprises Fans As He Returns To Social Media With Unexpected New Update
After more than a year away from the public eye, NCT‘s Lucas has returned to social media with a new update, taking fans completely by surprise.
Lucas has been on an indefinite hiatus since gaslighting accusations were made against him in August 2021, when he halted all activities, including the then imminent release of his song “Jalapeño” with fellow WayV member Hendery.
While he has continued to receive criticism since then, he has also seen a rising amount of support from fans, many of whom want to see him back again.
His recent appearance in the NCT reality show, welcome to NCT Universe, raised hopes when it seemingly confirmed that he is still very much a member of NCT and WayV.
