Former NCT member and 27-year-old Hong Kong star Lucas Wong (Lucas) was once accused by female fans of cheating and being a "soft rice king" (living off women), which seriously hurt his popularity and image, leading him to keep a low profile for a while. Recently, he announced the end of his 8-year contract with former agency SM Entertainment, relaunching his entertainment career as a free agent. Netizens have also noticed that he has activated the IG subscription feature, and just from IG subscriptions alone, he now earns about NT$3.58 million (approx. RM440,000) per month.
Lucas was accused by several fans of dating them simultaneously and treating them like ATMs, seriously damaging his public image and popularity. Recently, he activated the IG subscription feature, and thanks to his popularity from NCT, his number of subscribers has reached nearly 8,000.
Exclusive content for Lucas' subscribers includes one Reel and one post per month. Just by posting twice a month, he can easily earn around RM440,000 in income. Netizens sarcastically commented: "It's more profitable than Bubble (Korean fan platform)," and "Fans, wake up."
