if you told me 6 years ago that the person who got me into NCT & was my bias left the group a few years after over a scandal i literally wouldn’t believe you 😭

SM just overall sucks when it comes to handling their artist scandals and promotions...😅

SM has never done anything for new soloists. Even seniors like exo, shinee or red velvet have no support as soloists.

Y‘all can’t leave this man alone 💀 All what matters is that he’s back and happy now

"Let em' sing like the birds in the morning"

Lmao not yall disliking Renegade cuz its not a typical kpop song. personally, he upped his game rapping, and song-wise. I think it was a hit. obviously, wont rack millions, of views instantly, he just CAME back after what two years? bro is doing very good for a soloist,literally, relax and support him.

"He wasn't affected by it" Man literally left one of the biggest kpop groups and suffered mentally for 6 months and more!???? Can't we just forget his scandal now!?Even he himself forgot his past so why are we bringing those scandals now? He is happy now and people who genuinely love him will support him till the end. I watched all the dance practice videos and i was so happy that he is very connected with his dancers. They helped him alot for the choreo and yeah Renegade is a BOP!

flop??? Wth Lucas debuted just a few WEEKS ago and already reached 1.6M streams on Spotify after 2-3 years on hiatus because of a big scandal lol just leave him alone pls, this debut is way more for himself and his fandom than for anyone else. ps: i loved Renegade

Maybe because you cant be absolutely absent from the industry for 2 years and expect no impact on sales?? And not to forget that mist of his IG popularity comes from international fans, not SK or China, and it defenitely has impact on sales!!! All in all, Lucas should continue being active, i hope SM will learn from their own mistakes, we fans will support him no matter what!

Basically the point of this vid is for Kookielit to attack Lucas in the guise of news. Renegade wasn't meant for charting or for an artist to just push out new music. But rather it's his gift for his FANS and his chance to tell his side of the story

Leave homeboy alone . . .stop bring it up. HE'S FINALLY HAPPY AND MENTALLY HEALTHY RIGHT NOW.

Renegade really did feel like he was talking about the "betrayal" he got from fans and how the industry also Betrayed him it felt personal when u look at the translation or the CC it did feel more personal for him.

What kind of video is this?? He is back and happy and getting support from LOYAL fans like me!! Can't you and every other toxic person leave Lucas alone! 😠 Also people who care about numbers need to get a damn life

What was the point of this video ? Renegade has 1.6 MIL streams just on Spotify .. is that not good enough ? Edit : Its Now at 2.5 MIL 🤭🤭

Lucas really spoke facts when he said he is a fan favorite and this song is not made for YOUR liking it a personal song where he expresses the struggles he has gone through since the scandal things

Not y'all proving Lucas right when he said in his song : " Never basic , let haters stay hating . No debating , Im a fan favorite." Y'all cant seem to keep our boy's name out of y'all's nasty a*s mouths and it shows because y'all haters seems to be more up to date with how he is doing than his fans . Keeping track of his MV's views , his lack of promotion etc . The bullying behavior y'all are giving Lucas is the same behavior previous idols experienced by "fans" which the same fans write long fake ass messages when the idols commit s*icide because their mental health cant handle the pressure anymore.

Lucas deserves every success as a soloist, he is a talent, he has fans that support him, he just needs the right song to give him that hit but it seems his reputation has now been tarnished by 'scandal' and this has somewhat overshadowed his career. Good luck to Lucas, wish him all the best moving forward ♥️

just leave him alone at this point. it was not particularly mentioned in the documentary but when he said that he had gone too far he meant that he had gone too far by exposing the saesangs. its about everyone's taste, you dont like the song, skip it. using strong words like "flopped" is a stretch. that song was mainly for him, he was narrating his side of the story. as a lucas fan, he finally debuted and thats all i wanted. just give him some peace now. he said during the first 6 months of his hiatus he had wrong thoughts (su1cid3l thoughts). and i dont want anyone to go through that so these videos must be stopped. i was a regular viewer of KOOKIELIT but this is kinda too much. being a big youtuber who gets a lot of views, this channel is influencing more people to post things like this.

It literally didn't flop it was a comeback just for his fandom and we were all here for him.

Leave it to kpop fans to complain that meaningful lyrics and real life messages are underrated and under promoted. Then turn around and complain that the catchy unrelated song wasn’t chosen as the title track, because it “would’ve scored better” and “fits the usual vibe” Let’s not. This comeback was the right move.

I will always support Lucas no matter what

The song renegade is way underrated. I love this song. It's definitively a banger that needs more appreciation

I will always be a Lucas fan and proud to be one❤

First off Renegade is a BOP, Second he can sing and rap amazingly, Third He can dance his heart out. I bet in the next month or two those chart numbers for his new album will go up. Plus his debut as a soloist just started in the beginning of April, and we are still in this month so its insane to expect him to have higher numbers right now. And another thing I believe he's innocent, and SM failed to protect this man, he was stalked, verbally Harassed and he didn't even know who that Super Fan was. If I were Lucas I would've went to a different company. And the most frustrating part was SM made him apologize when he didn't do anything.

It always surprises me that people are up to date with every little thing that the person that they don't like does . Ok so you don't like him ? You don't like his music. You think he has no talent. You think he is only a pretty boy . What? Do you want me to give you a gold medal for hating on a person you don't know ?? Lucas flopped ?? Where ? How ? Not when his true fans exist . Y'all think by saying all these things it will make us stop supporting him.....uhm I think the f*ck not , not when all of us waited for 2 years for his return . I'M SORRY BUT NO

He was on hiatus for 3 years he was literally inactive with no news about him at all, you can’t compare this to ppl who are active in their groups + going solo in between comebacks + doing multiple high profile interviews/variety shows/magazine covers & interviews.., he’s doing really well considering everything + he’s not doing any promotions as well, just the music shows which is bare minimum promotion. Give Lucas some slack, they’re making him come back slowly, he’s doing really well, his fans love him and support him, and he’ll continue to grow.

This video seems pretty biased

bestie he did more than well for a newly debuting solo artist that was on hiatus for years after false accusations and bare minimum promotion. he did not flop is you look at the circumstances

Am still rooting for Lucas. Let's give it time...you never know plus his come back isn't targeted for charts.what is not clicking? man is still recovering and trying his best, SM is crap period however lucas is back and doing what he does best let him be....and renegade is a bop

Stfu, Lucas solo did not flop it's an absolute banger! I added it to my Spotify as soon as it came out. I saw a bunch of edits, I saw a lot of people reacting to it and they liked it. haven't seen one bad comment about his solo being bad or a flop.

I'm not his fan but even i feel tired, can you stop analyzing every little thing about him, if you hate him so much why not leave him alone?

RENEGADE IS SUCH A BOP

I personally loved his debut song and I don't think he flopped and maybe some people might be not liking it because his new album came after documentary but I'm completely fine with it

I think bc the Korean public is so critical to EVERYTHING an artist does, SM didn’t want to promote him like normal artists. they kind just were like, “fine. here’s Lucas, alright byeeee” im not even a Lucas fan tbh but they did that man dirty

I PERSONALLY LOVED ALL THE THREE SONG

it really never flopped like people wanted it to, just leave him alone his comeback is not for haters its for his fans that were there for him. yall can never give him a break and leaving him alone at all

Ok this is my personal opinion or theory but if you resonate lemme know So I think the company are focusing on LUCAS rather then his album doing better. I mean after a HUGE scandal lucas came back on stage after 3 FREAKING YEARS so obviously promoting him a lot will be exhausting for him. He's trying to get back up so maybe they are taking it slow. N also Renegade is a song that was more personal rather than the song being marketed to be one of the best sellers. I think the company wants to take it slow with lucas coz it seems even with one fan supporting him he'd be very grateful and thankful from them. This could also mean that they are trying to build a healthy fandom that ACTUALLY supports him and be there for him. And also personally I think its nly better for lucas to promote less n not be so popular for the time being. You can see that his true fans are with him and supporting him who just want to see lucas happy and at peace again. Taking it slow is the right thing to do ryt now coz he is healing. Personally I listened to his album and waited for him eagerly with one reason being the documentary so I think that was good move.

Sis literally have no more news to tell that she decided to attack Lucas 💀

having your source as pannchoa is disappointing, he didn't flopped. an idol that have ppl still hate on esp k-netizens, just comeback from a 3 year long hiatus from a scandal and became a soloist. the results may not be the best but its still good enough for a new soloist. Renegade is a perfect song for him to comeback and slaps the anti & rumours abt his situation. he's fighting back those ppl that wish him hell and wanted him gone, to tell them that he's invincible now, tho it sounds arrogant but how else are you going to fight back against all those antis. also he is known for his rap so for him to title his debut song renegade is honestly fire. and if he had made a singing song a title more ppl would criticise him instead because he wasnt made to be the best singer eventho he can sing. this video is misleading esp spreading that bbl pic of a fansign without explaining fully makes him look bad. its disappointing, if you're not a fan that can explain his situation in good light then just dont talk abt him at all. lucas has been through enough and we dont need you add fluid to the flame

I'm feeling so bad for him company did so wrong without clarifying properly he deserve better treatment

SM truly is shit at handling serious situations.

From my point of view, the song is great, the rap is good, music videos are good enough. I am not fan of him actually but music wise... his song passed my playlist. Good enough. ❤❤

LEAVE LUCAS ALONE

this solo debut wasn’t meant to be for the charts it’s for his own life and mental health, a personal song for him not for yall. can yall just leave him alone for one second and get his name out yall mouths?? give him some space to breath he just got back 😂

you really couldn't choose a WORSE title? maybe "What people thought about Lucas' Solo Debut"? you just had to put "FLOPPED" in all capital, im sick and tired of this disrespect.

your switch up is insane some of your most viewed posts are about Lucas, u just use him for clout💀💀

Dude, I loved his debut... IDC what anyone says

you are so wrong for this- this comeback was for his fans, the ones who have been waiting for 3 years. I have been streaming all of the songs for the past few weeks. you think I care about the numbers? We’re just happy he’s back. smfh

His music and voice is amazing so no need to hate

I love all the lumis and neos here on this comment section protecting Lucas, he suffered more than enough. It’s time for him to regain his confidence, spark, & smile back. Thank God he didn’t harm himself during those past three years even tho he admitted to having really bad thoughts. Time for him to heal now, so you all haters can hate and joke around all you want but this comment section proves that many of his fans still loves and supports him. Go Lucas! You got this.❤️

for it being his comeback after 3 years it did pretty well it could have been worse

WHO TF CARES ABOUT NUMBERS? What’s important is that there are people who still care and believe in him and NOT the SASAENG “VICTIMS”

I feel like whatever he did people would hate him and not move on…. I love Lucas❤

Lucas didn't do anything wrong the scandal was false even k netizens know it was fake than why are they criticizing him,ik sm is not taking good care of him they just didn't care and give him the worst song i feel sad for me he always smiles for his fans and now he doesn't smile that much the haters did too wrong with lucas and renegade was not that good but when u will not focus on the lyrics and when u the feel the vibe u will enjoy it just like me

HE DID NOT FLOP 😭😭 RENEGADE IS A BOP ❤

I'll forever support Lucas until I die 🫶

The comment section passed the vibe check 😌

I love these songs so much, it talks about his haters and his struggles. Renegade was more than just a song, it says how he feels. I don’t care what anyone says, this song is incredible. He shouldn’t have even had to apologize considering there was no proof, it doesn’t matter that his song was about haters and what he went through. It’s not just gonna disappear even if he doesn’t sing about it so why not sing about it? Some Netizens are annoying 😭

leave my man alone y'all 😭😭

That's sad for yall I been listening to the album all week and cant wait for the album that i ordered.

What do netizens what? Boy litrally filmed the MV in 3 outfit and 1 office theme and an open space

I think once you find a punching bag you keep punching until is gone…If he address the situation is bad if he doesn’t is worse is SM FAULT but we blame him.Is a no win situation let him be and support him anyway we can stop the bulling people ENOUGH!!!

.Just cuz someone is or was in a popular groups doesn't mean that their solo activities will be popular.. lol That's delulu mentality.

but there was a limit of 30 people for that first fanmeet tho

it didn't flopped AT ALL, LEAVE HIM ALONE

Idc about the others but I really like Renagade and I feel that lucas has improved interms of dancing. Plus the rap is also pretty good . The only thing I feel as badis the fact that SM isn't doing enough to promote him.

The song Renegrade lyrics are so amazing. The music video , choreography, handsome lucas everything perfect . It has genuine views. So it is not flop at all.

renegade was a really good song idk what you mean. the song fit him so well i cant think of any better song that would match him more (an dim not even a big lucas stan but i just cant agree with that argument)

sm just purely sucks as managing their talent

I actually Loved Renegade. I didn't view it as him being arrogant or anything of that nature. I felt it came across more like he is going to be ok no matter how hard people worked to destroy him on that hate train.

I think it’s funny how antis are even on this video, tf are you doing here? Always the first ones to see what Lucas is up to, it’s ironic💀 catching undercover Lumis on every video.

Bruh wth do u want ? What kind of video is this? Can’t you guys just leave him alone??

Idk how people expect him to be a million album seller when he just came outta a 3 year old hiatus + cancelled idol. I personally, didn't had a lot of hopes but he exceeded them. You can't expect an idol to exceed the already promoting solos of nct, it will surely take time but he'll get it.

Wft? He didn’t flop ?💀

He acted unaffected?! Where in that song shows he wasn't affected? Just because he is willing to pull himself up and forge his way through the hate does not mean he wasn't affected. He is just srating idiots can keep hating but it will no longer tear him down. He knows who his fans are so he is enduring and doing for US! Not for the squawkers hiding behind their keyboards.

And this is why I unsubscribed. Just based off the other comments, my guess of what the video would be like was correct. I’m not going to waste my time watching kookielit hate on him, after all he has been through. I absolutely love this comeback, his hard work is undeniable, he seriously deserves so much love and support. And Renegade is absolute gold 💯

Nah guys. Kookielit fell off on this one. Just tryna milk him now.

I didn’t even know he dropped the solo but I think the other two song in the album 💿 is really good and I enjoy listening to it.

Honestly screw kpop fans. I love kpop but hate the Fandom. Just let these artists make their music and let these companies make their decisions. It was a personal project for lucas. The song is about rising up against all the hate. What's wrong with that?

It’s almost as if SM had no intention of handling the Lucas scandal correctly after it broke. The missteps and omissions are just too numerous to count, and it has been frustrating to watch. The new CEOs may not be Lee Soo Man, but that itself may be part of the problem. At least he had the savvy and experience to keep SM on top. These guys don’t seem to know what to do, evidenced by the way their long time artists and best talent are literally running away from the company. RIP SM.

You are trying really hard to bash by being passive-aggressive. I really feel for him.

My thing is why was his album sold out on SMtown? Was it because they didn’t have as many preorders and expected no one to buy? So confusing. Also the fans that really pushed for Lucas to come back didn’t even stream and if so only for the first few days and stopped

i mean, if he isn't a strong dancer, strong rapper or a strong singer..... what's left? maybe stage presence but.... then maybe he only belongs in a group for visuals. no hate!!

The songs are amazing, people are sleeping on him fr

He doesn't look like his vibrant, bubbly old self... I love kpop but it's such a horrible industry. I hope he'll find success again and above all, happiness.

I’m really disappointed in this video…

And just like every trashy tabloid, no Lucas no clout. And to think you actually did good and fact full videos about him before but clicks and views are what you guys wants lol He’s fine, h’s getting lots of love from fans and don’t care about you says. The mv and songs are literally talking about you and all the lies you guys tell online.

This channel will bash anything for views.

lack of promotion? sm gave him everything they could from their side, more than what they did for most soloist. however things like interview or variety appearances related to external parties might be difficult due to his reputation (the lack thereof speaks volume). they're probably not letting him vlog or open direct lines of communication for his own safety and prevent further blunders.

I still dont get it that why are people(haters) doing this i mean even started this a scandal is a scandal its not real thats wyh it is called this even if he did those things it is not like he was drugging and selling women or something like that he is a full growen adult now and can date anyone he wants to even if he ever cheated it has nothing to do with you haters why cant you make this much noise when a psycho kills a little kid or rapes someone why cant you use tricks like these to get them out of our society and into the jail why are you trying to make him look bad when you are the ones who are bad no you haters are monsters equal to killers it just makes me so angry that when he has done nothing bad still he is being treated like this, not just him many other idols such as Ravn from the group Oneus. Renegade is showing how he felt during all this period how he feels now and i am pretty sure that others with the same situation feel the same way too. I know my comment is too long but i am still telling the truth and giving the haters a reality check. Who is with me in this.

Personally I hope this allows him to push out of the kpop industry and gain fans from other avenues because I think the kpop industry is too toxic for him. I think his debut was fine. The song was fine, the diss was funny tbh. Lucas has copped enough s**t from people over all this stuff and everyone seems to just be complaining for complainings sake. Just because his sales weren't 'that great' doesn't mean he isn't going to do well in his career. Everyone needs to get over what happened and move on and just enjoy what Lucas has to offer. Why do I feel like this video was a diss on him lol ...... -.-

Its ok he's back for good 😊

The thing is people believing the accuser who being caught so many times for stalking underage idols before Lucas publicized her yet once the scandal being proven false, the "fans" suddenly being defensive and pretended to forgot about the accuser who start the fire on him.

Wait I’m so confused, when I saw the video the comments people were soo happy that he came back and the fact people are hating on him is proving his point on the song. Like did people really not listen to the whole message? I’m not even an NCT fan and I got the message by the first chorus

His new solo only just be released and not flop

He is always loved

Thank god your comments are so off..this wasn’t a flopp. And you might not like this song or his dancing but that’s on you!!

I think promo was the main problem tbh I used to follow nct closely around 6 years ago but as time passed I noticed their music was becoming different then what I usually like so I stopped following them closely but since I felt close to some members like mark and Lucas and taeyong and etc I keep an eye on their music but didn’t see any promo for our Lucas ? Also since the track are English I think Korean fan may loose some interest coz if that but after all I wish the best for the Lucas he made me smile when I was sad hopefully he will get all the love care and attention he deserves

It’s just fine, flop or not, his not using the nct name anymore and going solo, it’s a new beginning for him, so he needs to work his way up. The song is his real truth, and the apology is SMent telling him what to do because SM seems to cater more to detractors

It did not flop. A reminder he'd been gone for years !
