On August 29, former NCT and WayV member Lucas took to a paid fan messaging platform to talk to his fans and said that he found NCT U’s Baggy Jeans extremely cool. He asked the fans to support them and their song. Seeing this, fans were divided over the gesture.

Lucas leaving NCT and WayV

Earlier, SM Entertainment had released an official statement saying that as a result of discussions among the team and Lucas, the artist had chosen to leave NCT and WayV while proceeding with his solo activities. They also stated that the decision was made for the members as well as the fans after extensive discussion. They had requested the support of the fans who liked Lucas as a member of NCT and WayV. Lucas, at the time, had also released a long hand-written letter. In that, he stated that he felt sorry for all the members who had become his brothers in the past 8 years. He thanked them for taking care of him and he will always be there to support his NCT as well as WayV members. In the end, he hoped that the members would remember him as Huang Xuxi (his real name) and not as Lucas.
