Kris Wu

Chinese-Canadian singer, actor and model Kris Wu shot to fame as part of the South Korean K-Pop band EXO. Wu was born Wu Yifan in the south Chinese province of Guangdong, and moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with his mother at the age of 10. His career began in earnest in 2007 when he successfully auditioned for S.M. Entertainment's Canadian Global Auditions and became a trainee, which saw him relocate to South Korea. In 2012, Wu joined the boy band EXO, and the South Korean group became hugely popular with their album XOXO, which sold over a million copies. Wu made his film debut in Somewhere Only We Know, and went on to star in a number of blockbusters including Mr. Six and Sweet Sixteen, for which also provided songs. Turning his attention to the western market, he appeared in his first American film, XXX: Return of Xander Cage, in 2017. That same year he turned his hand to hip-hop, teaming up with Travis Scott for the trap-suffused single "Deserve."
