 I am so sorry for the members. I am so sorry for their long-lasting friendship.
 Lucas, 24, of the Korean idol group NCT, posted a personal message on his Instagram page on May 10. He announced his withdrawal from &#8220;NCT&#8221; and its offshoot unit &#8220;WayV,&#8221; saying, &#8220;I was troubled for a long time. He said he plans to work as an individual under his real name, &#8220;Fan Siu Shi.

 Lucas was born to a father from Hong Kong and a Thai mother.&#8221; He made his official debut as a member of &#8220;NCT&#8221; in February 2006. He has also appeared in commercials in Indonesia and is a famous model active in many East Asian countries. He is a physical artist who can do 60 push-ups in 46 seconds and is very popular in Japan.
 Why did the world&#8217;s most popular top talent leave the group after apologizing to the members? It seems that Lucas&#8217; scandals, which surfaced one after another, had a major impact.

 [gaslighting].
 The following tweet was posted on Twitter in August 2009. It was posted by Ms. A, who is said to be a former boyfriend of Lucas. Gaslighting&#8221; is a form of brainwashing that involves harassing and mentally manipulating others.

 Ms. A also wrote the following
 I was a fan of Lucas. A few years ago, he took a liking to me and asked me for my cell phone number, which led to a relationship. After a while, we decided to break up because we couldn&#8217;t meet due to our schedules. Here&#8217;s the problem: &#8230;&#8230;.
 He says &#8216;let&#8217;s just be friends&#8217; but demands to stay in a hotel with me every time we go on vacation. He has never paid the fee. He even asked me to buy cigarettes. If I don&#8217;t buy them, he says, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you have any? He verbally abused me. He told me, &#8216;I can&#8217;t go out because I am a celebrity. If I use my credit card, my manager will find out.
 This is not the only scandal that has surfaced for Lucas: the day after Ms. A made her accusation, another woman posted a picture of her and Lucas in bed on Weibo, China&#8217;s version of Twitter, saying, &#8220;I had a similar experience. She revealed that he had bad-mouthed his fans and several women he had been in relationships with.
 Lucas probably couldn&#8217;t refute the claims due to a string of troubles. Soon after, his agency announced, &#8216;We&#8217;re going to stop releasing all content, including sound sources and music videos. Lucas posted an apology on his Instagram and suspended his entertainment activities.
 Since the outbreak of the trouble, Lucas had also refrained from activities as a member of &#8220;NCT. After two years of worrying about it, he came to the conclusion that he would leave the group, saying that he loved the members with all his heart.

 A top Korean idol suddenly announced that she is leaving her group. She apologized, saying, "I am sorry to the members. The decision was made after a long period of consideration, but the background to the decision is a series of scandals involving the idol herself. The details of her troubles, which include allegations of brainwashing, are surprising.

Brainwashing a boyfriend, sexual relations with several women&#8230; Korean idol leaves the group, &#8220;handwritten apology message,&#8221; and the true reason for the shudder.
