Former EXO member Kris Wu, who is already serving his time in prison, now faces a new legal trouble. On April 27, Chinese media reported that Kris Wu has been charged with tax evasion amounting to 300 million RMB (approximately $42 million USD). According to a Tianjin-based lawyer, Kris Wu's mother is also under investigation and may face prison time.
Kris Wu has been transferred to the Chaoyang Detention Center in Beijing as he awaits trial. If convicted, his 13-year sentence could be extended, as China's Criminal Law allows sentences for multiple convictions to be combined after adjusting for time already served.
As Kris Wu faces fresh legal troubles, netizens have also noticed the sudden disappearance of his ex-girlfriend and whistleblower, Du Meizhu. She has been silent on all social media platforms for over two months, sparking concern and speculation.
It was the Chinese teen beauty influencer Du Meizhu, who in 2021, accused Kris Wu of luring underage girls by promising them entertainment opportunities. Following the investigation, authorities confirmed that between November and December 2020, he raped three intoxicated women at his residence. In addition, in July 2018, he allegedly organized a "group sex party" involving friends and two women.
Given the evidence, Kris Wu was sentenced to 13 years in prison for rape and group sexual misconduct. After serving his sentence, he will be permanently deported from China.
In fact, Kris Wu had appealed but it was denied as the court cited the severity of his actions. He was also fined 83.7 million RMB (over $11 million USD) for prior tax evasion and for hiding his personal income.
Meanwhile, a Chinese outlet reported that Kris Wu is faring relatively well in prison. He has reportedly been assigned the role of "floor leader" and enjoys better treatment than regular inmates.
Kris Wu is said to be exempt from cleaning duties and eats meals like steamed buns, napa cabbage, and stir-fried eggs with tomatoes. Reports also suggest he has gained around 9 kilograms during his time behind bars.
