Back in May 2023, Lucas withdrew from NCT and WayV, a result of getting caught up in a gaslighting scandal two years prior.

There wasn’t much news regarding his future plans in the industry until this month, when SM Entertainment opened up new social media accounts for Lucas.

Shortly after the creation of Lucas’ official social media accounts, a netizen made a post on Threads with a fake announcement from WayV’s label, LABEL V, regarding Lucas’ “death.”
Hello, this is LABEL V.
We regret to inform you that original WayV member Lucas passed away from natural causes today. We deeply regret that the former member’s death was so natural. He should’ve died more cruelly.
Thank you.

A couple of Thread users called out the original poster, pointing out how wrong it is to joke about someone’s death.
I don’t follow NCT, and I hate what Lucas has done, but there’s really no need to talk about death. Everyone hates how he’s still in SM Entertainment, but a person wishing him death is not any better than him.
Of course, you have the right to hate someone, but don’t put a curse on them.

You can joke around all you want but this one is too much. What kind of a person are you? You’ve lost your mind from stanning idols.

Despite this, most of the netizens who commented on the post laughed alongside the original poster.
“F*ck, you’re so bad keke“ “” “F*ck, you’re so bad. I’m laughing so hard. ” “This is so funny.“ “Awesome.“ “My stomach hurts from laughing too much.“ “This is kind of wrong, but it’s good.“ Lucas | @lucas_xx444/Instagram
On the other hand, fans are eagerly waiting to see what kind of activities Lucas will participate in.
