“Lucas Is Back?” NCT Lucas’s New Instagram Updates Might Indicate His Return As An Idol
NCT‘s Lucas has been away from the public eye for over a year, but two surprising new updates have given fans hope that he may be returning as an idol in the near future.
Lucas has been on an indefinite hiatus after gaslighting accusations were made against him in August 2021. After halting all activities, Lucas has continued to receive criticism, but many fans have been vocal in supporting the idol, hoping to see him return.
Most recently, Lucas was included in the NCT reality show welcome to NCT Universe, which seemingly confirmed that he is still a member of NCT and WayV.
BRO THEY SHOWED AND MENTIONED LUCAS AS PART OF WAYV IN NCT UNIVERSE EPISODE 9 OMFG?!?!!?!?

But now, in his latest Instagram update, Lucas shared a short clip of a dance video, showing off his undeniable talent.
