Wu Yifan (Chinese: 吴亦凡, born November 6, 1990 in Guangzhou, China), also known as Kris Wu, is a Chinese-Canadian actor, singer, and model, and a former member of Korean-Chinese boy band EXO and its Chinese sub-group EXO-M.Born and raised in Guangdong, China, Wu moved to Vancouver, Canada with his mother when he was 10 years old and lived there until he was 18, when he moved to Korea after successfully auditioning for SM Entertainment's Canadian Global Auditions. He debuted as a member of EXO in April 2012, but left in May 2014 after filing a lawsuit against SM Entertainment to terminate his contract in which alleged that the company disregarded his health, maintained unfair profit distributions, restricted his freedom, and treated him like a product rather than a person.In the same year, Wu returned to China and continued building his career, now as both a musician and an actor. Wu starred in several #1 box office hits including Mr. Six (2015) and Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back (2017), which are among the highest-grossing Chinese films of all time in his native country. He made his Hollywood debut in XXX Return Of Xander Cage (2017). After releasing several singles, he released his first full album Antares in November 2018.On July 8, 2021, 19-year-old university student Du Meizhu made a post on Chinese social media in which she accused Wu of sexual misconduct, claiming that he raped her when she was 17. In further public statements, she cited instances of Wu allegedly inviting women to events, often under the pretext of auditioning for roles in dramas and music videos, for the purpose of getting them drunk and raping them. She eventually alleged that Wu had raped over 30 women including two minors, although the number was changed to 24 and finalized to 8 in subsequent statements from her. Following Du's initial incident with Wu, she was reportedly paid hush money by Wu's agency, but her speaking out resulted in more women coming forward and stating that similar instances happened to them. Wu denied all allegations but lost sponsorships and had his social media accounts and music removed from Chinese platforms.On July 31, 2021, Wu was placed under criminal detention by the Beijing Chaoyang District police on suspicion of rape; he was formally arrested over allegations of rape on August 16 of that year. On November 25, 2022, the Beijing court convicted Wu of raping 3 women while they were drunk between November and December 2020 and "assembling a crowd to engage in sexual promiscuity" with 2 women on July 1, 2018. For these convictions, he was sentenced to 13 years in prison and deportation from the country after serving his sentence. He was also fined CN¥600 million (approximately $84 million USD) for tax evasion. Wu appeared in court to appeal his convictions in July 2023; in November 2023, the appeal was rejected. | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| Kris Wu (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: "Bad Girl" is about him deciding to let go of a relationship in which his girlfriend mistreats and cheats on him...and it sounds quite upbeat, pop-ish, and fast-paced. | |
