Lucas Wong is leaving K-pop boyband NCT, its Chinese sub-group WayV, and SuperM

On May 10, 2023, Lucas Wong announced that he is leaving both K-pop boyband NCT and its Chinese sub-group WayV and SuperM. The reason for his departure was not explicitly explained, but most likely it is related to the allegations made against him in 2021.

Lucas aka Wong Yuk Hei took a break from all his promotions and workloads with NCT, WayV and SuperM in 2021 following allegations from former romantic partners who claimed, among other things, that he had abused his status as a Kpop star and cheated on them. He has been on hiatus since then, with SM Entertainment excluding him from NCT's third full group comeback titled, "NCT 2021 Universe"
