SM Entertainment later confirmed the news via Twitter, announcing that Lucas is planning "to pursue individual endeavours". 

Lucas, who also is known as Huang Xuxi, took a hiatus from his activities with WayV and NCT in 2021, after a series of allegations of mistreating previous girlfriends. The singer posted an apology on social media, sharing that he would be taking time to reflect on his actions. 

The singer made his debut with NCT in 2018 and performed as part of the group's Chinese unit, WayV and SM Entertainment's supergroup, SuperM.
