SM Entertainment announced the departure of Lucas from NCT and WayV on Wednesday, the 10th.
On the morning of this Wednesday, the 10th, SM Entertainment issued a note announcing the departure of Lucas of the groups NCT and WayV, in which he was a member. The idol, however, is still expected to remain an artist for the company, and will focus on his solo activities from now on. His tenure at SuperM was not commented on.
“After deliberate discussions with Lucas, we have made a mutual decision to go our separate ways from the NCT and WayV groups to pursue their individual goals. We ask for your understanding and continued support, as the decision was made after much consideration of the members and fans who have supported him,” the agency said in a statement.
Moments after the ad was published, Lucas made a point of addressing fans directly through a handwritten letter posted on his personal Instagram account. Written entirely in Chinese, but with Korean and English subtitles, the idol thanked them for their support, and revealed that he believes that this “is the right decision for the good of all”.

“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 NCT and WayV. I sincerely feel sorry for the members and it is with a heavy heart that I leave behind a longtime friendship. It has been almost 8 years since I joined the members and I am deeply grateful for your care and support. I will treasure these memories and never forget. I hope the members 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 me a considerable amount of time to come to this decision, and I believe this is the right decision for everyone’s sake. Moving forward, I intend to muster up the courage to face the fans who are waiting for me and pursue individual endeavors. I believe the best way to give back to the fans who support me is to continue to deliver great performances.
I will strive to be a more mature Huang Xuxi and an even better Lucas.
Lastly, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the fans and everyone who has continually supported me.”
Lucas had its activities paralyzed since 2021 after becoming involved in controversies involving ex-girlfriends. At the time, the artist even published a letter apologizing for his actions on his personal Instagram page, before having his indefinite break announced by SM.
