EXO’s Kris Wu – The
“Mysterious” Member
Here it is! A post on EXO ‘s
mysterious member, Kris !
Kris‘ Chinese name is Wu Fan/Wu
Yi Fan , whereas his English name is
Kris Wu. He knows four languages:
English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and
Korean. He was born in Guangzhou,
China and grew up in Vancouver,
Canada. Kris is currently 21 years
old (Born on November 6, 1990 –
a Scorpio). He is the leader, lead
rapper, and sub-vocalist of EXO-M ,
the Chinese sub-unit of the 12
member South Korean-Chinese boy
group, EXO (the other sub-unit
being, EXO-K , for Korea), and has
been trained by SM Entertainment
since 2007 (he was cast into the
company through the SM Global
Audition in 2007 held in
Vancouver, Canada) for acting,
rapping, singing, and dancing.
There is a high chance that he will
be acting in the near future. On an
interesting note, Kris was supposed
to be in EXO-K , but due to SM
Entertainment having a large
market share in China, he joined
EXO-M . With a height of 187cm,
Kris is currently known by the
public as the tallest person working
under SM Entertainment (Changmin
of DBSK/TVXQ previously held onto
this title until Kris became known).
Additionally, it has been stated that
he is better looking in real in
comparison to the way appears in
pictures and videos. Other
interesting “facts”: Kris used to be
the captain of his basketball team
in China when he was 15 and he
likes to read books that are
inspiring and are about self-
improvement. Furthermore, he is
known to be sociable and is looked
up to as an elder brother.
Kris was revealed in EXO ‘s Teaser
17 on the 16th of February, 2012.
Here the viewer can see that Kris
has the power to bring on an
eclipse…and fly.
Kris was already rumored to be in
EXO when a fan cam. capture of
him and Tao crossing a street in
Korea had been uploaded on
YouTube prior to the
announcement of EXO ‘s first
teaser. His appearance and aura is
what captured many viewers’
attention. No doubt, his prominent
features are his face, hair, and
height (mashAllah – “As Allah wills”;
a term, we Muslims, use in place of
“God Bless”. It is used when we
appreciate or praise someone). His
eyebrows seem to get attention too
and are often compared to those of
Siwon from Super Junior (I think
they are cool). Kris is also well-
known for his rap in the beginning
of EXO-M ‘s version of “Two Moons”
It has been stated that he was the
one that sang the popular and
somewhat amusing line, “Roll like a
buffalo…” xD The number one topic
about Kris, however, is that we
haven’t seen a picture of him
where he smiles AT ALL. I don’t
know if it’s just him or if this is
part of SM Entertainment’s
marketing strategy for promoting
Kris ’cause I am pretty sure he has
AT LEAST ONE picture of him
smiling and we just haven’t seen it
yet. OR maybe someone stole his
candy when he was young and
hence, he hasn’t smiled ever since
=P
Pre-debut video (fan cam.
capture) of Kris and Tao: Pay
close attention to Kris‘ denim
jacket. I spotted him wearing the
same one in one of SM
Entertainment’s official pictures for
EXO. Here, he is wearing a black
undershirt with his denim jacket,
whereas in the official EXO picture,
he is wearing a white undershirt.
Since he has often been seen
wearing the denim jacket during
his pre-debut days, many people
that did not know his name
decided to give him the nickname,
“cowboy/jean boy.” It is interesting
to note that in most of his pre-
debut pictures, he is seen wearing
black. After EXO was revealed, he
is seen wearing white clothes! The
transition from black to white is
noticeable.
Kris and Kai (Notice Kris ‘ denim
jacket here and in the previous
pre-debut video of him and Tao )
Surprisingly, Kris made an
appearance in SNSD’s Tour Concert
VCR some time late last year. At
that time, nobody knew who he
was but SM Entertainment was
secretly revealing the members of
EXO since then, it seems. I thought
Kris‘ face resembled Cloud’s from
the popular video game, Final
Fantasy 7, and that his hair was
kind of like Angeal’s, who is from
Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core .
Update: For the fan cam. capture
of his appearance in SNSD’s Tour
Concert VCR, click here
(Personally, I find it creepy
because of the eerie music.
Nevertheless, I agree with some
fans that he does look like a
Chinese fairytale prince ^^).

2011
Kris was also seen in a short news
coverage about SM Entertainment (I
can do the dance move that the
choreographer is teaching in the
video =P) called “Close-Up Gendai
– Behind the Scene ‘K-Pop Girls
Boom’.” Here you can see many
trainees, including some of the
EXO members! Kris appears at
0:07-0:15 in SM Entertainment’s
well-recognized dance practice
room and is wearing a gray top,
black pants, and a round necklace
(look at the right-hand side of the
screen where the white block
appears). He can also be seen at
0:22-0:35. Kris is the one
practicing his rap skills (also notice
that he is wearing black clothes and
a round necklace, which I will
mention again later on).
Interestingly, Kris had a Facebook
account (or is it RenRen?) and he
deleted/deactivated it after fans
had found out about it. Nobody
knows whether he did this out of
his own will or whether SM
Entertainment had told him to. Of
course, it would have been an
issue if he continued using
Facebook (RenRen?) and ended up
getting several friend requests. I
suggest that Kris uses Twitter like
all of the other celebrities. That
would be a nice option or he can
continue being mysterious xD
However, it seems as though he is
back on the social-networking site.
His latest status update seems to
be from RenRen.
Kris‘ Status Update on RenRen
Kris‘ previous update on the
social-networking site included a
picture of him at the Walk of Fame
in Los Angeles in late December,
2011 with the caption, “Hollywood
i will have my name there one day,”
and, “wait for me” (Be careful what
you wish for, Kris…earthly desires
never last). Moreover, the star that
he is standing on seems to have
Andy Garcia’s name on it. The star
is located in 7000 Hollywood
Boulevard near the Hollywood
Roosevelt Hotel:

Angeles, late December, 2011
I have noticed many other things
about Kris. It’s not just his lack of
smiles but most of his photos
include a necklace that he seems to
wear quite frequently and his black
clothes. I’m assuming that black
must be his favorite color. I was
once like that too. In my teenage
years, I used to love wearing black
clothes, bandanas, black/silver
necklaces, that many of my friends
would notice and point that out
too. Black and silver were my
favorite colors. Then there was a
time when I used to like wearing a
lot of white clothes. I, however,
have changed since then and love
colorful things now! xD Now
imagine Kris wearing pink pants
like Lay and Kai …that would be
quite a sight!
Here are Kris ‘ pre-debut pics. that
have been revealed so far (NOTE:
These photos are all from a
Facebook Fan Page):
He looks so cute here. Black
clothes, round necklace, no smile.
This looks like SM Entertainment’s
dance practice room. Black clothes,
round necklace, no smile.
I find this picture creepy since he
looks angry. Black clothes, round
necklace (?), no smile.
I think this is when he dyed his
hair for EXO. It looks a bit grayish.
Black clothes, no smile.
Kris with his new hair color. I find
this funny ’cause I do this with my
iPhone at times too (a lot of the
EXO members like taking pics. of
themselves in front of a mirror) =P
Black clothes, no smile
You may also check out this pre-
debut video on YouTube
and see Kris in the left-hand side
wearing black clothes, his round
necklace, and no smile.
Kris updated his RenRen with his
childhood photo about a day ago.
His caption for the picture is,
“Dreaming…I’ll give my best” Don’t
worry, Kris …we know you will! ^_^
Kris as a child. Someone must have
taken away his candy – NO SMILE.
The grown up and groomed version
of Kris that we know today:
Kris is definitely looking forward to
the future!
That wraps up my post for now. I
have uni. tomorrow and it’s late >_
< Good luck, Kris! Wish you all the
best for your future and I hope
that you don’t pay a lot of
attention to fame. Just continue
being yourself and being inspired
by the positive things around you.
We all are looking forward to
seeing a charming smile on your
face, inshAllah ^_^
