“I think it’s so cool to be able to play and sing at the same time. I’ve never had the chance before, but now I’m finally learning. I’m still a beginner, but I’ll do my best and hope to play and sing for everyone someday,” he said.
As for his first Taiwanese drama, Lucas couldn’t hide his excitement.
“I’m really happy and thankful for the opportunity,” he said.
“It’s my first time acting, so I’m really nervous! But the director, crew, and coaches have been so supportive in preparing me. I’m giving it my all, and I hope everyone will look forward to it.”
Lucas also took the opportunity to express his admiration for Taiwanese cinema.
While doing research for his role, he watched the Taiwanese crime film Zhou Chu Eliminates the Three Harmful Acts, which left a lasting impression on him.
When asked about collaborating with Taiwanese actors, he mentioned his admiration for actor Hsu Kuo-han.
“He’s someone I’d love to work with. I’ve heard so many great things about him, especially his performance in the Korean drama. He’s super cool!” Lucas added.
After releasing a solo single last year, Lucas Wong has been dedicating himself fully to his training.
He apologised to fans for not being active on social media, explaining, “I’ve been focusing on preparing for filming, so I haven’t had the chance to interact much. I’m really sorry, but I hope you’ll look forward to my upcoming work. I’m doing my best, and I can’t wait to show you all!”
This marks Lucas’s first major project in Taiwan, and he hopes the local fans will enjoy his debut drama.
He also expressed his desire to continue growing as an actor and share his journey with his supporters.
“Thank you so much for your continued support!” he concluded.
Fans are eagerly awaiting Lucas’s return to the public eye, this time in a new role as an actor, and his upcoming projects are sure to be one to watch.
