ＥＸＯ元もとメンバー・クリスに関かんする刑務所けいむしょ内ない死亡説しぼうせつ、中国ちゅうごくSNS上じょうで拡散かくさん――公式こうしきな確認かくにんなく憶測おくそくが飛とび交かう状況じょうきょうに

Former member of the famous Korean idol group EXO, Kris real name: Wu Yifan, 35, was detained in China in 2023 on suspicion of sexual assault against a minor, an incident that remains fresh in the memories of many. Recently, rumors that Kris has died in prison have rapidly spread on mainland Chinese social media, drawing public attention.

On the 18th local time, the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong reported on this incident.

According to reports, information has been spreading on social media claiming that Chris died in prison because he failed to meet the demands of an organization. In addition, there are also unfounded assertions such as he died of exhaustion after a long period of starvation and he was silenced because he knew the inside story of a celebritys death.

The department of the Beijing Chaoyang District Public Security Bureau in charge of Chriss case has made no comment regarding the rumors of his death, nor has it provided any official confirmation.

Actually, similar rumors circulated last April as well, saying Chris was killed after getting caught up in a fight in prison, but there was no official statement from the authorities at that time either.

As such false information continues to circulate repeatedly, local internet users are increasingly voicing criticism and doubt, pointing out that the rumors are becoming more and more unreasonable and prison management is extremely strict, so such incidents couldnt possibly happen so easily.

In December 2020, Chris was suspected of sexually assaulting an intoxicated woman at his home, and was also suspected of sexually assaulting three other women in a similar manner.

Furthermore, in July 2018, Chris was suspected of holding a gathering at his home and engaging in acts of public indecency with two women. In July 2021, he was taken into criminal custody on charges of rape.

The court then sentenced him to 13 years in prison and ordered his deportation from China after serving his sentence.
