I meant international english speaking fans (hence his eng subs), not just in China. So my comment makes perfect sense.
and hes a Chinese person that speaks thai. Thats different from someone who is an ethnic southeast asian. Lisa never called herself Chinese because she doesn't have the privilege of co opting a different identity other than Thai.
Quark beat me to this but this answer doesn’t make sense either. Lucas is more popular with international fans, through NCT U, WayV and SuperM. And he is from Hong Kong.
International fans perceive Ten to be Thai, especially since he has hosted NCT in tours of Thailand and talked in interviews about his heritage and how he’s proud to represent the country.
It further shows that you don’t know what you’re talking about, when in addition to the points above about Lucas promoting also in NCT U, when WayV promoted in Korea on music shows - in addition to China - pre-pandemic and solely in Korea during the pandemic.
You’re really reaching here for something that doesn’t make sense that’s been pointed out by two people.
Stop trying to make a political, racial or whatever controversy point out of just one dude’s comment of who he thought was attractive.
