Former EXO member Kris Wu 'killed by gang' in prison? Rumours spread as singer serves 13-year sentence for sexual assault

Rumors have widely circulated suggesting that former EXO member Kris Wu (Wu Yifan, 35), currently serving a 13-year prison sentence for sexual assault, died in prison. Taiwanese entertainment media Sanli News initially reported the rumors, which were subsequently cited and spread by MK Sports.

The rapid spread of these claims across Chinese social media has shocked fans and observers worldwide.

Disturbing Testimonies

According to one man who claims to be Kris's prison mate, guards quietly discussed Kris's sudden death a few days prior. He further claimed that Kris was gang-raped by local prison gang members and was murdered after failing to meet their demands. Another source alleged that Kris died due to a prolonged hunger strike.

These testimonies add a chilling layer of controversy around the former star's incarceration.

Past Controversies and Unconfirmed Reports

This is not the first time Kris's death has been rumored. Earlier this year, the Canadian government publicly condemned the execution of four Canadian citizens in China, with unconfirmed reports suggesting Kris was among them. Despite ongoing rumors, no official confirmation of Kris's death has been made.

Career and Legal Background

Kris debuted as a member of EXO in 2012 but departed in 2014 after suing SM Entertainment to invalidate his exclusive contract. He pursued a career in China as a singer and actor under the name Wu Yifan until his 2021 conviction for sexual assault involving multiple minors.The combination of unverified reports and a lack of official statements keeps the public uncertain and the topic highly sensitive across the entertainment community.
