There’s been a lot of misinterpretation from reposts and translations of Lucas’s recent video call events so this thread is to help clear the misunderstandings:

First of all, there’s this thing called “types of fans” in c-ent (cpop) fandoms. +
You may have heard or used the terms “girlfriend fan, mom fan, daughter fan, (older/younger)sister fan, etc”to describe how fans view how they support an idol. The terms are pretty self explanatory, firstly,a mom fan tends to “baby” their idol, treating them like their own child+
a daughter fan tends to treat their idols as their “dad”, cuz the idol gives them the feeling of a father, a sister fan might call their idol Gege/Didi (older/younger bro), treating them like their own siblings, +
While a girlfriend fan, which is the most common type of fan, tends to treat their idols as their actual boyfriend irl, and this is normal for fans and idols to interact in this way. Of course with idols, there's fanservice that exists for fans. +
For eg, during fansigns, mom fan will call their idol “baby”, or some might even ask their idols to call them “mom”. As for gf fan, they tend to request their idol to act cute, ask idols to call them “Wife, honey, baby, sweetie, etc” , to play their bf role for a few mins, etc +
kinds of fanservices.
You might read some repos like P1 of Lucas telling the daughter fan to call him Dad,this is just part of the fan service to make fans happy.
IMPORTANT NOTE: (P2-4) in Chinese Dad calling someone dad is nothing s*xual, it’s more like a joke to joke around +

understands, and is also why he rarely rejects (besides the ones which are inappropriate P1&2). There is nothing more that exists between these interactions besides fanservice.

that may do him harm than good, anyone will be able to see it. Let's use these small moments with him to bring love and positivity, and focus on thoughtful messages and advice he gives instead.
