Currently Serving Prison Time for Sexual Assault
The recent situation of Kris (Wu Yifan), a former member of EXO, is drawing attention.

Kris appealed the decision, but the court upheld the original sentence on appeal.
On the 23rd, it was reported that the 16th Beijing Higher People’s Court recognized the Kris case as a ‘major crime’, causing shock.
Local media such as Beijing News reported, “The Beijing Higher People’s Court recently reviewed the 2023 major crime handling report at the second meeting. They decided the Kris Wu sexual assault case and two gang crimes as typical major crime cases.”
Kris is charged with sexually assaulting three women who were unable to control their bodies due to alcohol at his home in 2020.
He is also charged with committing lewd acts with another person at his home in 2018.
Kris was sentenced to 13 years in prison and deportation, and it is attracting attention that Canada is known to be the place where Kris will be deported after serving his prison term.
In Canada, chemical castration is implemented for sex offenders, so there is speculation that Kris might also be subjected to castration.

In 2014, he filed a lawsuit against his agency for nullification of his exclusive contract and left the team to return to China.
He continued his career as a singer and actor in China but was arrested by Chinese public security in 2021 following various sexual allegations.
