Kris Wu Responds Awkwardly To Interview Question About EXO
Kris Wu appeared on a recent broadcast of San Fransisco’s KYLD Wild 94.9 to talk about his career in Korea, the U.S., and China, as well as his collaboration with Travis Scott.
Kris Wu talked very candidly about his decision to leave EXO, how he didn’t really feel at home in Korea, and how he felt restricted by the K-Pop industry.

Then Diaz asked what seemed to be a sensitive question for him.
“Do you talk to the guys at all anymore?”

Diaz: Or is that kind of just like a…
Wu: Yeah, yeah.
Diaz: We’re separate now, and it is what it is.
Wu: Yeah, yeah.
This is one of the first times Kris has spoken publicly about his relationship with members of EXO since leaving the group in 2014.
