The situation of Kris Wu continues to intrigue the public, several years after the major scandal of 2021 that abruptly ended his career. Once considered a prominent figure in Chinese entertainment and a former member of the group EXO, he is now serving a prison sentence following convictions for serious crimes.
According to Chinese media reports, rumors suggesting a deterioration of his health or mistreatment in detention are unfounded. Sources indicate that he is in stable condition, without any significant medical issues, and has even gained weight since his incarceration, while receiving regular psychological support.
However, his daily life in prison is particularly regulated. He reportedly shares a cramped cell with other inmates, in a space where resting and hygiene areas are limited. The rules are strict: he must take cold showers all year round, and simple actions like shaving or cutting nails require authorization and waiting time.
The former idol is currently assigned to a production chain, where he participates in the manufacturing of data cables and headphones. Since 2023, he has reportedly adapted well to the prison environment, allowing him to obtain a minor role among the inmates and some benefits, including slightly improved meals and a reduction in certain collective tasks.
During his free time, he reportedly continues to be interested in music by singing and writing, an activity that contrasts with his former life as an international artist. This practice helps him pass the time in an environment that is now very distant from the entertainment industry.
His initial days in detention are said to have been more challenging. Authorities reportedly had to monitor him continuously due to his emotional instability: he cried, shouted, and proclaimed his innocence. Over time, he is said to have gradually adapted to his situation, gradually abandoning habits related to his former celebrity status.
The Kris Wu case remains one of the most prominent scandals in C-Biz. He was arrested in July 2021 following accusations by the influencer Du Meizhu, who accused him of using his fame to lure and assault several young women, including some minors.
In 2023, he was sentenced to 13 years in prison for rape and organizing collective sexual activities. Additional charges related to tax evasion worsened his case. At the end of his sentence, he is expected to be deported and banned from returning to China for ten years.
Once at the pinnacle of music and cinema, his name has since been removed from major Chinese platforms, in line with government decisions. His journey illustrates a particularly striking fall in the Asian entertainment industry.
