NCT Lucas apologizes for privacy controversy… “Reflection after suspending activities”[전문]

The group NCT member Lucas (22) acknowledged and apologized for the suspicion of gaslighting and legs exposed by the revelation of the ex-girlfriend.

Lucas posted on his Instagram on the 25th, “Looking at the situation in the last few days, I look back on my past actions and sincerely reflect. Looking back on my past actions like that, it was clearly wrong, and it was an irresponsible act that betrayed the support and support that the fans have given me for a long time.”

“Once again, I want to apologize to everyone who may have felt disappointed with my actions.

We will make sure that this does not happen again, and we will stop all scheduled activities and take time to reflect.”

SM Entertainment, the agency, also issued an official statement saying, “We apologize for causing concern over the issue of artist Lucas’ personal life. Recognizing the seriousness of this matter, we have decided to stop releasing all content, including the sound source and music video for WayV-Lucas & Hendry’s single ‘Jalapeño’, which was scheduled to be released at 6 pm on the 25th.”

“Lucas is deeply reflecting on the fact that he has caused great pain and disappointment due to his wrong actions, and we also feel responsible for the lack of artist management. Once again, we deeply apologize for causing concern to many people, including fans, with Lucas’ privacy issue.”

Earlier, on the 23rd, Korean netizen Mr. A posted an exposing article on his Twitter titled, ‘Revealing that I was gaslighted and bitten by an X snake (male flower snake) by Lucas’.

In the article, Mr. A claimed that they became friends after breaking up with Lucas, and that he came to his house or hotel every day off and made them spend money. He also said that Lucas gaslighted himself, saying, “The only person who understands me is you.”

On the 24th, the exposure of Chinese netizen Mr. B continued. Mr. B said through his SNS, “Yesterday’s Lukas exposure post (A’s gaslighting claim) was similar to my experience, and the timing overlapped surprisingly. I hope that there are no more victims,” said Lucas, who claimed that he crossed his legs while meeting both himself and a Korean fan at the same time.

Meanwhile, Lucas was born to a Hong Kong father and a Thai mother, and has Hong Kong citizenship. He debuted in 2018 and is currently active as a member of NCT, WayV, and SuperM.
