Shocking rumours about former EXO member Kris Wu's alleged death in prison have sent shockwaves across global entertainment circles. The 35-year-old Chinese-Canadian artist, currently serving a 13-year sentence for sexual assault, is at the centre of unverified claims suggesting he died under mysterious circumstances.
Disturbing Prison Testimonies Surface
According to multiple unconfirmed reports, the rumours originated from Taiwanese media outlet Sanli News before being picked up by MK Sports. The claims rapidly spread across Chinese social media platforms, creating widespread concern among fans and observers worldwide.
One particularly disturbing account comes from a man claiming to be Wu's prison mate, who alleged that guards were overheard discussing the star's sudden death several days prior. The source further claimed that Wu faced gang-rape by local prison gang members and was murdered after failing to meet their demands.
Another unverified testimony suggested the former idol died due to a prolonged hunger strike. These chilling accounts have added layers of controversy around the incarceration of the once-popular celebrity.
History of Unconfirmed Death Reports
This isn't the first time death rumours have surrounded Kris Wu. Earlier this year, when the Canadian government condemned China's execution of four Canadian citizens, unconfirmed reports circulated suggesting Wu was among those executed.
Despite the persistent rumours and widespread speculation, no official confirmation about Wu's death has been provided by Chinese authorities or prison officials. The lack of verified information has created an atmosphere of uncertainty around the sensitive topic.
From Stardom to Incarceration
Kris Wu's journey from international stardom to prison has been dramatic. He debuted as a member of the massively popular K-pop group EXO in 2012 under SM Entertainment. In 2014, he made headlines by suing the agency to invalidate his exclusive contract, subsequently departing from the group.
The artist then pursued a successful solo career in China under his birth name Wu Yifan, working as both singer and actor. However, his career came to an abrupt halt in 2021 when he was convicted for sexual assault involving multiple minors, leading to his current 13-year prison sentence.
The combination of unverified reports and absence of official statements continues to keep the public in suspense, maintaining the topic as highly sensitive across entertainment communities worldwide.
