12 May – SM Entertainment has recently confirmed that Lucas is now no longer a member of NCT and WayV.

On 10 May, the agency posted the announcement via social media, which read, "After our deliberate discussion with LUCAS, we made a mutual decision [for him] to part ways with the group NCT and WayV to pursue his individual endeavours. We ask for your understanding and continuous support as this was a decision taken after much consideration of both the members and all the fans who have supported."

The company stated that Lucas is planning to showcase his talents through "a wide variety of individual works".

Lucas also took to Instagram to share his thoughts about his departure, writing, "I sincerely feel sorry for the members, and it is with a heavy heart that I leave behind a long-standing friendship. It has been nearly eight years since I got to know them, and I am deeply grateful that they took care of me all the time. I will cherish these memories and never forget it."

It is noted that Lucas had been on hiatus since August 2021 after his ex-girlfriends accused him of cheating and gaslighting them, and manipulating them to splurge for him.

OPINION - Vladimir Putin using North Korean troops could become a nightmare for Russia — and China
Donald Trump has promised to settle the Ukraine war within 24 hours – and so many expect a difficult peace, a “dirty deal” according to Max Hastings, early next year. Russian forces are now on a roll, pushing along nearly 800 miles of front in Ukraine itself, and squeezing Ukraine forces in the pocket of Russian territory round Kursk they took last summer. Any deal for ceasefire and armistice wouldn’t be Trump’s but Putin’s. Right now, Putin’s team have said they are no mood for talks to end the war.

House elections produced a stalemate. Can Republicans figure out how to work with a thin majority?
After one of the most chaotic and least productive sessions in modern history, voters made a surprising choice in elections for the U.S. House -- they overwhelmingly stuck with the status quo. House Republicans will hold onto a thin majority, and while the chamber's exact partisan divide is still to be determined as votes are tallied in a handful of states, the results of 435 House races nationwide have produced hardly any change to the makeup of the chamber. In fact, it's more like a stalemate: Republicans and Democrats have each flipped seven seats, while just eight incumbents nationwide have lost their races.

Dear Richard Madeley: My wife used to be a sex worker – I’m worried her sister will spill the beans
Years ago, I met a girl in a bar in Thailand. I knew she was a sex worker, but I was captivated. She was funny and original, we talked for hours. Eventually we went to bed and, yes, I paid. The story after that was a bit of a cliché, I suppose – I courted her at work, we started a ‘normal’ relationship, then we married on the beach, with her family and a couple of my friends in attendance.
