Cai Xukun, born in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province in 1998, is a singer, actor, original ** producer and MV director in Chinese mainland. He used to be a member of Swin-S and Nine Percent, and was also the champion of "Idol Trainee" and "Youth with You 2". His ** style is diverse, and he is good at integrating ** elements such as Future R&B Urban R&B, Hip-Hop, and Oriental. His representative works include "I want to get love", "pull up", "wait wait wait", "lover", "young", "fan" and so on. He has won many awards, such as the most popular potential male singer on the Asian New Song Chart, the top ten golden songs of the year in Migu Hui at the festival, the most popular male singer on the Oriental Billboard, and the most popular person of the year on Weibo. He is also the Forbes China Under 30 Elite, GQ Person of the Year, and Cosmo Fashion and Beauty Festival Person of the Year. He is known as the ceiling of the mainland draft and is a well-deserved top idol.
However, in July 2023, Cai Xukun was caught in an unprecedented ** storm. A netizen who claimed to be Cai Xukun's ex-girlfriend broke the news, saying that Cai Xukun had an affair with her in May 2021 that caused her to become pregnant, and Cai Xukun asked her to have an abortion and did not bear any responsibility. She also provided some suspected Cai Xukun's private** and chat records, as well as hospital receipts for the abortion. These revelations have aroused widespread attention and discussion among netizens, some people question Cai Xukun's character and morality, some doubt the authenticity and motives of the revelations, and some people defend and support Cai Xukun. Cai Xukun's mother was also involved, and was accused of suspecting that the woman was trying to blackmail, so that private detectives could follow the woman and illegally install needles in front of her house. Mr. Cai's studio and agency also failed to respond in a timely manner, further worsening the situation.
Cai Xukun did not post a response on Weibo until July 3, saying that he had a relationship with Ms. C and that there was no involvement of minors and forced abortions. He also said that he had reported the case to the public security organs and investigated the legal responsibility of the rumor-mongers. He also denied that the ** circulating on the Internet was him, saying that it was maliciously ps. His response did not calm the heat of **, but instead caused more questions and ridicule. Some argue that his response was too late and weak, that he did not respond positively to key questions and did not provide any evidence. Some people think that his response is admitting his irresponsibility and lack of single-mindedness, and that he is digging his own grave. Some people think that his response is a diversion and an escape from the facts. Some people also believe that his response is defending his own rights and interests and insisting on the truth.
Cai Xukun's incident had a huge impact on his career and image. The variety shows "Let's Run" and "Winter Dream Covenant" that he originally participated in were withdrawn or edited, his advertising endorsements and commercial cooperation were also canceled or suspended, his social platforms were also restricted or banned, and his fans were also subjected to online violence and personal attacks. His incident has also triggered social reflection and discussion on issues such as idol morality, fan culture, and the Internet. Whether Cai Xukun can get out of this crisis remains to be tested by time and facts.
