Kris Wu left EXO in 2014, and the K-pop boy group's fans, EXO-Ls, urged everyone not to associate him with the remaining members anymore.
SM Entertainment debuted EXO in 2012, introducing Kris Wu as the 11th member of the boy group. However, he exited the band two years later due to issues he had with the company.
Some EXO-Ls still included him in the group, saying that EXO would always be OT12. But things changed following his assault controversy and recent sentencing.

The shocking claims emerged after he was spotted at a movie theater with a girl named Chen Ziyi. He rented the whole theater to enjoy their date, but photos of them together were still leaked to the public.
From there, the 19-year-old Du Meizhu revealed how Kris Wu molested her when she was 17 years old while she was drunk at his home after an alleged casting interview.
More women came forward, including two minors, saying that the former idol lured them into having intercourse.
He was formally arrested in August 2021, a month after his detention. His case became the most high-profile #MeToo case in China and caused international media outlets to share his shocking story with the world.
