Following these solo and subunit releases, on August 20, Lucas and Hendery announced the upcoming single, “Jalapeño.”

Lucas wasn't able to be a part of NCT Dream Hot sauce so he partnered with Hendery to make Jalapeño

Jalapeño Will Set The Internet On Fire
While Lucas made headlines after being spotted at several fashion events and Hendery recently appeared as a guest on South Korean Foreigners, this is the first music-related activity they participate in since the promotion of “Kick Back.” We may not know what to expect from this new collaboration, which is slated for release on August 25, but it is safe to assume Lucas and Hendery will set the internet on fire.
