On April 5th, 2017, SM Entertainment officially introduced Lucas as one of SM Rookies trainees. In January 2018, SM officially stated that Lucas will be joining the group as the new NCT member. His real name is Wong Yuk Hei and his stage name is Lucas. He’s a Chinese from Hong Kong, who was born in Hong Kong on January 25th, 1999. Although he was born in Hong Kong, he actually has some Thailand blood in him, inherited from his mother’s side, so basically, he’s half Chinese and half Thai. As Lucas was born in the same year as NCT’s Mark, he thought that he was going to participate as a member of NCT Dream in the song titled “Chewing Gum,” but he didn’t, which made him feel quite sad. Even so, he was featured in NCT’s Ten music video titled “Dream in A Dream” that was released for SM Station in 2017. A year after that, he officially debuted as an NCT member after he was included in the NCT U sub-unit for the single titled “BOSS.” At the beginning of 2019, along with other Chinese members and Ten, Lucas debuted with WayV, a sub-unit of NCT in China. They debuted with the song titled “Regular.” With his fun personality, he has been promoting his group in many variety shows and it has made him quite popular. He also has a really stunning visual and looks a little bit like his senior from SM Entertainment, SHINee’s Min-ho. He’s also funny and has entertaining skills. That’s why a lot of people love seeing him on TV, especially when he talks about how he learned Korean. If you’re curious about more facts about him, let’s take a look at the information below!
