Despite being behind bars, Kris Wu's mom has attempted to sell his car.
On July 3, 2024, it was revealed by a Chinese car broker that Kris Wu's mother attempted to sell her son's car. In a post to social media, the Chinese broker captioned a photo of a car with, "Fan's car." Fan is an abbreviation of Kris Wu's Chinse name, Wu Yi Fan.

It is likely that Kris Wu's mother opted to use the abbreviated form of his name, "Fan," since Kris is unable to use his full name online due to his arrest.
According to the broker, Kris Wu's car is being sold by the idol-actor's mother on his behalf. Although the regular price of the vehicle is 15.35 million yuan (approximately $2,111,417.06), the car is now being sold for half its price. The vehicle is on sale for six million yuan (approximately $825,309.60).
As of writing, the car has not yet been sold.
Kris Wu first became famous as a member of EXO in 2012. However, he left the group in 2014 and debuted as a soloist and actor in China soon after. The idol-actor saw a successful career in China until he faced a massive scandal in 2021.

[Trigger Warning: This section of the article features mentions of rape and sexual assault]
In July 2021, a Chinese college student accused Kris Wu of sexually assaulting women, some underage, while they were intoxicated and unconscious. She claimed Kris Wu raped her several times in 2020 when she was 18 years old. She went on to state that she can speak for at least seven victims, with two of them being minors during the time of the crime.
Kris Wu initially denied the accusations and was promptly investigated by the Beijing Public Security Bureau. Several companies that he represented, such as Bvlgari, Lancome, and Porsche, terminated their contract with Kris Wu.

He was soon detained by Beijing police and was formally arrested in August 2021 on suspicions of rape. In November 2022, Kris Wu was sentenced to 13 years in prison: one charge saw him guilty of having sexually assaulted three women while they were drunk, leading to an 11-year and six-month sentence, while another charge found him guilty of a crowd to engage in promiscuous activities and the sentence was 1 year 10 months.
After serving his sentence, Kris Wu will be deported from China for rape and group lewdness. In July 2023, an appeal trial was held in an attempt to overturn the ruling. However, the appeal was rejected.
