Lucas is so well suited for variety, it'll be nice to see him in a language he's slightly more comfortable in and yess @ princess Yuqi getting a chance to shine. They'll both be good fits imo.

fixed cast?? lol i guess wayv is gonna be stuck in china for a while. when are we getting our nct2019 vlive tho

anyways i love these two, they're both cute and hilarious so i might actually watch this show now!

it's only a 12 weeks requirement for filming. it's not a year long program like the korean version.

[annayism.livejournal.com]

ooh i see! that's not bad

while i'm glad he got this gig it would be great if the other members could get activities too even if its just livestreams or performing on web shows, university festivals, etc. i just want to see performing ten, my favorite version

also will the recording take place after g-idle's comeback or during?

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

it'll happen eventually I think. they've just debuted in china and Lucas is a stan attractor/easy face for casual viewers to remember at the start. Ten did really well coaching on All For One, I'd love if he got to do a dance show of some kind in China like Hit The Stage.

For Yuqi all that's been posted is filming for running man is in March and their comeback is at the end of Feb. There might not be any crossover if they promote for 3 weeks and she starts at the end of march.

thank you! yes, i'd love to see ten on a dancing show again. and that's good that the recording shouldn't interfere with g-idle's comeback. maybe they'll even perform in china. that would be interesting

Aw it would have been fun to have Luhan and Lucas on the same show lol. Maybe Jackson will come back at some point.

But I haven't watched Chinese Running Man since Dilireba left, most of the time I found it too boring. Also I don't know how RM can be without Deng Chao. It's literally like if Yoo Jae Suk left Running Man.

Also I haven't been following it but has Li Chen been in the spotlight since Fan Bingbing's whole ordeal???

but the show is actually not in Lucas' native language though...as his language is Cantonese. However, I think he'll still be able to crack more jokes in Mandarin than Korean.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

in a language he's slightly more comfortable in

that was my wording choice because he was more comfortable on the season of NCT Life where he was with the mandarin speaking members than when he was just speaking korean

impressively enough I already think Lucas is pretty funny in Korean. And also in the All for one show. (Jackson was funny in Korean but not as funny in Chinese) I think he might be a natural for variety

Yay! Lucas is quite a character so I think he'll do well. I hope SM can also line up some schedules for the other members/the group as a whole (happy camp!!) and actual music promotions too

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

rise bbs! i hope someone subs cuts of this or smth. lucas is going to be great, he's funny without even trying and athletic too.

i hope since sm inked that deal with tencent wayv will get the promo they deserve in china. baby steps, but we will get there!
