WayV member Lucas Wong has a prolific career in China and South Korea and a very wholesome image. On August 23, a K-netizen claiming to be his ex took to social media to accuse him of gaslighting her. She claimed he would keep coming back to her after they broke up then would cut off all contact the next day. He’d ask her to pay for all of their expenses even the hotel bill. Among the evidences she posted, fans refute her alleged voice recordings of Lucas saying it was pieced together from his past voice messages to fans.
Two Chinese Fans Also Claim to Have Dated Lucas
Meanwhile, two Chinese netizens have also taken to social media with their accusations along with chat records and photos. The claims have been similar in saying that Lucas dates his fans and mooches off of them financially through gifts and other expenses. One girl said she didn’t intend to speak up at first since things ended somewhat amicably until she saw the accusations online and realized she was being cheated on. She included alleged photos of him spending the night and the Balenciaga jacket she allegedly bought for him when he went to her house. After keeping in contact for a while, Lucas eventually ended things. The other girl, also a former fan who claims to have dated him said, “Actually he just treats his fans as his harems, cheating, dating them and squandering the love of fans at will.” She says she believed him the night they slept together when he said he hasn’t had sex in almost a year. However, she realizes that he spent the night with the K-netizen right after going back to Seoul.
Lucas’s Chinese Fansite Resigns En Masse
Thus far, his agency SM Entertainment has not made any comments on the accusations. Furthermore, Lucas is expected to release his new single Jalapeño with fellow WayV member Hendery on August 25.
Yet following the scandal, Lucas’s Chinese fansite (黄旭熙中文首站_LUCASCNFC) took to Weibo on the eve of August 24 to announce their resignation: “Hello everyone, the management team of Huang Xuxi’s first Chinese fansite has all resigned today. If you have a friend who is willing to take over, you can contact by private message. Regarding the previous birthday event, it has been closed, the money will be returned to everyone within 48 hours, please take note of it. Finally, wish you all to be well.”
Apology Letter from Lucas
On August 25, Lucas took to Weibo with a handwritten apology. He says: “This is LUCAS Huang Xuxi. Here, I sincerely apologize to the people who have been hurt because of my wrong behavior. I beg for a chance to apologize, I’m really very sorry. At the same time, I also sincerely apologize to the fans who have always supported and cared about me. I’m sorry for letting you down. In the past few days, I have deeply reflected on what I have done. I am clearly aware of my mistakes and irresponsible behavior, and I have let down the fans who have always supported me.
Once again, I sincerely apologize to everyone who was disappointed by my behavior. I promise that this will not happen again, and at the same time, I will suspend all activities and self-reflect during the coming period of time. Finally, I want to apologize to my members, company staff, partners with cooperation and all the crew members because my personal behavior has had a negative impact on everyone. I am very sorry.”

OMG, his handwriting is like an elementary school kid’s standard. No wonder he is so immature.
Cee
What does this mans handwriting have to do with anything at ALL?
kiwi
true, what does his handwriting do with the whole issue?
Anon
Was the issue even mentioned in the OP? Nope! Your handwriting reflects your personality and your general character.
Seriously
Ugh… you must be illiterate or dumb as shit? Maybe both? The OP literally commented his handwriting was childlike hence his immaturity, dumbass. And where the fuck this day and age does your handwriting reflects your general character? Watching too many historical dramas? Doctors are notorious known for their lousy penmanship guess they’re all “jerks”? LOL 😂
Jing
Ah man,
I’m an ABC and my handwriting in Chinese is even worse than his. I don’t think it has a bearing on his personality as he probably didn’t grow up with the Chinese school system
Tamara Stenström
Yes, for these “squiggles” alone, he must be forgiven. Just try to write such a letter. And fangirls had a free lesson – don’t mess with idols.
carmen
las mujeres contar de estar con un artista hace lo que sea y luego hablan mal de ellos como que ellas son inocente, y el debe madurar dejar de ser travieso
OWO
Quien mala cama hace en ella se yace! 😀
Seriously
This is dumbest trend happening with Chinese celebrities. LMAO why should anyone have to apologize to public for their dating life? If they’re both consenting adults it’s a private matter. It’s not a crime to be a shitty boyfriend. If the public stops acting like they’re actual “ifols” and just humans, people wouldn’t be fooled by glitz fame and beauty.
Loejj
It’s like if you want to be a celebrity equal no s@x.
Watson Felila
So annoyed that you all are too conservative. Like let him LIVE HIS LIFE! you all bash celebrities for the DUMBEST reasons it’s so sad.
Cry me a river
1. Lucas trashed a variety show that made him famous.
2. Lucas dated several people all at the same time.
2.1 Lucas lied about the number of current partners he had. He hid the fact that he was a bed jumper. This is harmful because how were his exes supposed to know if Lucas had been in contact with someone with an STD and has now spread it to them?
2.2. Some of the people he dated were fans. Dating fans is unethical because of the power imbalance.
2.3 Lucas is a gold digger.
3. Lucas trashed the other members of his group and other trainees from his management company.
4. Lucas trashed a brand that was sponsoring him.
How are these reasons dumb? If he wants to be a celebrity he can’t upset the people he works for and with this way.
Seriously
Lol I thought Lisa was the dumbest comment I stand corrected. Boy you make Lisa look like a genius. Dating fans is unethical? How is it unethical or power imbalance? Both are consenting adults, if the fan idolize him that’s on them. Bottom line if you’re an adult use your brain.
Jared
What up, I’m Jared. I’m 19 and I never learned how to read. Hey Seriously, is this you?
hagenhilde
Yikes. Why are they only putting him on rest?
kiwi
Agreed! it’s really dumb for him to apologize to everyone for being a shitty boyfriend he should just apologize to the ones he actually hurt, my god this is a shit show honestly they fantasize idols as perfect but they’re people too. this, oof.
Oni
This isn’t only a dating scandal. His bad attitude is also being scrutinized. His scandal affects every group mentioned. That is why his company made him apologize to all of them. His group members, company staff, partners with cooperation and all of the crew members are now suffering, working over time for a few days now in order to clean up his mess, all because he couldn’t be a decent person. He is not a one person company. He’s also a member of a group. What he does affects many.
Lisa
I see a lot of people complaining about the fans expecting their idols to be perfect. I mean, to be fair, their supposed “good personalities” are part of what fans like and that’s the image he’s been creating to the public. Do you guys expect them to continue being fans of this guy after finding out he is playing multiple girls at the same time and is using one of his fans for money? I don’t even understand why he’s using fans for free stuff when he probably makes a lot of money himself. No one told him he had to write a handwritten apology. It is just media play to try to salvage his career and has been done by many celebrities/idols.
Seriously
THIS is what stupidity looks like lol. Maybe they should be “fans” for his art, craft, or whatever instead of for an image that’s produced. It’s on you as fan/human being to use your brain, that’s why we all have one. Why wouldn’t he use free stuff/money, IT’S FREE! Don’t be dumb and give it to him. Of course he trying to save his career DUH! That’s why his management team and label FORCED him to write a handwritten apology. You’re not too bright. Think before you post.
Lisa
THIS is why people can’t have normal debates or conversations on the internet anymore because there’s always someone that immediately jumps to insults and calling someone with an opposing view stupid. I’ve never even heard of this guy or a single song of his. I’m merely pointing out the fact that it’s also up to the fan’s discretion if they want to continue supporting him or not of their own free will. Why they like him (“his image”) was part of the marketing tactic by his agency, and obviously it worked in their favor and many other celebrities favors. Not everyone is “smart” and clear-headed. Now that that image is gone, he’s paying for it. That’s merely how I see it.
Seriously
It’s an insult when someone is just a fact. Fact you’re dumb. Fact your argument is contradictory with each post. Fact you’re redundant, don’t reply. Lol.
Say So
Seriously you’re seriously dumb.
Seriously
Well if you say so … 😂 now my feelings are butt hurt what will I ever do, I’m seriously too dumb to know.
Star
Chances are they told him to write that apology. Maybe he’s not ready to abandon his career. He can’t disobey his management if he isn’t on his way out.
Fans leaving in flocks is understandable. What he did is too big a mess.
Leave WayV
Remove Lucas from WayV! Don’t drag WayV down with him. Let Lucas deal with his scandal on his own. WayV can proceed as 6.
Yooi
It’s his personal life but he’s a public figure. I dont care if he was a gold digger whatsoever, but cheating is another thing. The same with bad mouth about a show that made him popular, duh dude, it’s a no no.
I feel bad for Hendery. He waits for their duo debut but sigh…
Avocado
His idiocy ended his career. His half-hearted apology will summon every person he wronged out of hiding. Self reflection won’t make them forgive him. It won’t be surprising if more exes turn out in the upcoming days.
Melissa
Bye bye Lucas! I thought he seemed sweet in Keep Running but he’s just another celebrity with an innocent look and a fake TV personality. Who’s next?
Regular
I pity the PR Department and everyone who got called to attend their 4 am emergency meeting. They deserve a raise for putting up with this. The group leaders got reprimanded too. Kun and Taeyong aren’t perfect angels but they don’t deserve to get reprimanded because of Lucas.

Everyone in this comment section is stupid as hell. No wonder Mother Nature wants to kill us off. Smh
