In an interview with ETtoday, he shared his growing admiration for Taiwanese cinema.</p><p>&quot;I watched the movie Zhou Chu’s<em> Eliminates Three Evils</em> while doing my homework recently. I think the plot is really exciting and the action scenes are also very cool. It is a Taiwanese crime movie that left a deep impression on me,” he said.</p><p>Lucas also expressed his admiration for actor-singer Greg Hsu, revealing his hopes of working with him someday.</p><p> “For a new drama actor like me, every senior is someone I want to work with and learn from. If I really have to choose one, I think it should be senior (Greg Hsu), because many people around me like his dramas very much. In particular, I watched the series he filmed in Korea, which is really super handsome. I hope to have the opportunity to work with him in the future,&quot; he said.</p><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17505045957120328_03_S.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>Last year, Lucas visited the Philippines as part of the V1BE Manila 2024 concert, where he performed alongside local artists such as Gloc-9, Ez Mil, Flow G, SB19’s Pablo, Legit Misfitz, Chocolate Factory, and DJ Kate Jagdon. He was one of the opening acts for international superstar Akon during The Superfan Tour.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2024/12/7/k-pop-artist-lucas-shares-best-advice-he-got-from-other-artists-1628"><strong>READ: K-pop artist Lucas shares best advice he got from other artists</strong></a></div><p>Reflecting on his decade-long career during a media conference, Lucas shared a valuable piece of advice he received from a senior in the K-pop industry.</p><p>“There’s actually one piece of advice that I received from my senior in the K-pop industry because actually it’s been 10 years since my debut. I was actually taught how to catch the attention of the audience for a little longer, at least like five seconds on my part. That kind of advice is very useful in my career,” he shared.</p><p>Lucas began his solo career in April 2024 after departing from the K-pop group NCT and WayV. He released his debut album <em>Renegade,</em> with its lead single of the same name, and kicked off his first solo fan concert tour, which included a stop in Manila.</p>
