Fans excited as former NCT member Lucas releases a teaser for his upcoming solo debut track Renegade

Several fans have been actively supporting and cheering for Lucas on his new journey as a soloist, and they've been thrilled and eager about every piece of content that rolled out after the announcement of his solo debut. This also stands true for his latest teaser release for his upcoming solo debut track, Renegade.

In the teaser video, the idol is seen wearing a navy blue and white fitted suit, with his long hair flowing elegantly on both sides. The setting of the music video seems to be a court, where the idol is surrounded by media people, reporters, gossiping spectators, and attorneys, all of whom seem to be scrutinizing him.

The teaser also showcased how the same has been taking a mental toll on him as he spins around in stress due to the pressure. The teaser seems to showcase an instance similar to the idol's life, where his career took a huge turn after the breakout of a controversy.

In May 2023, SM Entertainment announced that Lucas will be departing NCT and its subunit WayV while deciding to continue his journey with the agency as a soloist. This occurred following a controversy that unfolded in August of 2021.

An anonymous netizen came forward claiming to be Lucas' ex-girlfriend and accused him of several things, including gaslighting, abusing, cheating, stealing money, and more. Following this confession, several other netizens also came forward, making similar allegations against the idol.

This led to the idol entering a hiatus and pausing all activities for about three years. However, the controversy never completely died down since neither the agency nor the idol addressed the issue, and there was also a lack of evidence that failed to prove whether the idol was guilty or innocent.

Therefore, when the idol returned to the industry through his solo debut announcement, not many people took it well. Since many issues still remain unsolved, netizens have been expressing mixed reactions to his solo debut. Therefore, many fans speculated that the song most likely talks about Lucas' own life and what led to his solo debut.

While much of the video hinted at the song's instrumental part, it also showcases the idol singing one line. Though fans couldn't get more than 20 seconds of the song's snippet, they still felt that it had quite a unique ring to it and had them hooked from the very first listen.
