Early in 2021, a few women came forward and accused an idol of gaslighting and cheating on them. Later this was revealed to be NCT's Lucas, and the idol personally wrote an apology letter through his social media. Following the controversy, SM Entertainment also released an official statement announcing the suspension of Lucas' promotions. Since then, Lucas was on an indefinite hiatus.
