Kris Wu’s Scandal Might Get Him up to Ten Years in Prison

The news that pop idol Kris Wu, a member of the EXO boy band, has been charged with rape was a massive hit for EXO-Ls worldwide. Wu was detained last Sunday in Beijing after rape allegations, and due to this, the eyes of the world are on Chinese authorities. The Chinese-Canadian actor and Kpop star, Kris Wu, was accused by Du Meizhu, self-claimed former girlfriend, that he used to trick underage women into having intimate relationships with him, under the promise of an acting career.

The scandal is a major blow for Wu’s career

Since the scandal started, it is said that the idol has lost several contracts with notorious brans and that if convicted, he could spend up to ten years behind bars. Even if the idol has double nationality, his Canadian citizenship will not help him escape punishment if found guilty. Kris Wu denied all accusations, but even famous supporters are abandoning him after this scandal.

No one is above the law in China

The Chinese media has already started predicting the idol’s outcome and explaining that Wu can even be deported after serving time in prison. Although Kris Wu is a celebrity and has fans worldwide, his sexual assault case will be investigated carefully by Chinese authorities, and he will receive proper punishment if found guilty. His Weibo account and fan accounts have been deleted, and his company has also stated that the idol is under investigation.

Many speculate that this scandal will put an end to Wu’s acting career in China and that all the films and series he has already been on might suffer the same consequences. This is not the first sexual assault scandal involving an idol from the Kpop industry, but it seems that this one is even worse since it involves so many different countries.
