Cai Xukun (Chinese: 蔡徐坤), also known as Kun, is a Chinese singer, dancer, rapper, and songwriter. He is active as a solo artist as well as the leader and center of a boy group, Nine Percent.[1] The fans of Kun is usually called "IKun(s)".

In July 2018, Kun established a personal studio to manage his artist relations.[2] One month later, on August 2, Kun released his first EP titled 1 in China. The EP was a commercial success with every song topping the music charts in China. The first track "Pull Up" broke 7 records on YinYueTai,[3] broke 10 records and peaked at number 1 on four music charts of QQ Music. The music video for "Pull Up", edited by Kun himself, received 10 million likes and over 100 million shares on Weibo. Kun subsequently released another English single called "Wait Wait Wait" on August 23, which quickly dominated music charts in China.

On January 10, 2019, Kun was officially named China's and Jamaica's Goodwill Ambassador and Outstanding Young Leader by the Jamaican Embassy in Shanghai, China.[4] On February 18, Kun released his first Chinese single "No Exception” (没有意外). Two weeks later, Kun announced his first solo tour "Kun One North America/U.K. Tour 2019" in early April. After he successfully wrapped up his sold-out tour overseas, Kun plans to release more songs and host his solo concerts in China later this year.

Early life

Kun spent a part of his childhood in Hunan with his grandparents and later grew up in Shenzhen, Guangdong. During his time in elementary school, he was chosen to be the principal's assistant and student union's president. Kun won various essay writing competitions at his school and an array of his award certificates was shown on camera during his appearance on the variety show Day Day Up.[5] Around the age of 16, he studied at Grace Brethren High School in California.[6]

Career

2012: Acting debut

Kun began his acting career in 2012 by playing the teenage version of Du Yu Feng (portrayed by Lee Joon-hyuk) in Half A Fairytale. In 2014, he played the teenage version of Huo Ke (portrayed by He Jiong) in Lock Me Up, Tie Him Down.

2015–2017: Super Idol (星动亚洲)

In 2015, Kun returned to China from America to participate in a reality show called Super Idol. This idol trainee reality talent show was produced by Anhui TV, in partnership with MBC from South Korea. During the two seasons of the show, Kun experienced considerable pressure and fierce competition from the other participants and received intensive idol training in South Korea. Having surmounted all challenges throughout the one and a half years, Kun's performance skills saw an unprecedented improvement, earning him a place in the Top 3. Upon the conclusion of Season 2, Kun and a few selected trainees from the show returned to China, where they debuted as a boy group, SWIN, under the management of Yihai Entertainment Company (Yihai). As the group had already accumulated a sizable fan base at the time, the debut was highly anticipated by both the boys and their fans. However, due to the mismanagement of Yihai, the group did not have a lot performance opportunities and public appearances, which resulted in a dwindling fan base and popularity. At the beginning of 2017, Kun filed a lawsuit to terminate his contract.[7]

2018: Idol Producer and rise in popularity

After a period of dormancy in the entertainment industry, Kun joined another reality survival show, Idol Producer, as an independent trainee at the end of 2017. When the first episode of the show was broadcast, Kun's mature performance and eye-catching outfit immediately captivated viewers and the judges. This was the episode in which Kun sang "I Wanna Get Love", the first song that he composed and produced on his own. Despite some controversy, Kun attracted a large group of fans through his performance skills and style, stage presence and personality. He quickly rose to fame and became a hot topic for discussion on the survival show. Kun received the most votes from fans after each evaluation performance in the show. He received a total of 47,640,887 votes in the final evaluation, earning the center position in a new boy group. On April 6, 2018, Kun officially debuted as the leader and center of said boy group, Nine Percent.

Soon after the conclusion of Idol Producer, I Won't Get Bullied by Girls, a web-drama starring Kun was released. This was a series that was filmed back in 2017. Kun took on his first lead role as Ye Lin, the love interest of Ren Xiaoqin (portrayed by Lu Yangyang).[8] This is a teen comedy series that features a distinctive, well-thought-out wardrobe and draws heavy influence from Japanese manga as a means to achieve comic relief.[9] Owing to Kun's popularity at the time of the release, the series' viewership reached and set new records close to a daily basis. By May 3, this web-drama had achieved over 5.75 million views.[10]

From April to May, Kun's first single "I Wanna Get Love" had topped the 'Mainland China C-pop Single Chart' as China's number 1 single for almost three weeks.[11] At the end of May, Kun was voted as one of the most influential stars in China.[12] For the three months between May and July, Kun had a full schedule with fan meeting tours across China with Nine Percent. On June 2, Kun and other members of Nine Percent had their first group appearance on the variety show Happy Camp.[13]

On August 2, 2018, his 20th birthday, Kun released the highly anticipated EP 1. His first EP contains three songs, "Pull Up", "You Can Be My Girlfriend", and "It's You". The first track, "Pull Up", became an instant hit and broke 10 records on QQ Music, the largest music streaming platform in China.[14] "Pull Up" was co-written with UK songwriting team Mike Macdermid, David Brant (who is also the producer on the song), Rajiv Bukhory, Fidel Rosales and Ryan Curtis. He also edited the sensational music video for "Pull Up". Kun later released another single, "Wait Wait Wait" on August 23, which quickly rose to the top of multiple music charts. His first stage performance of "Wait Wait Wait" was broadcast on the first episode of Idol Hits on September 7.

On October 12, Kun performed "You Can Be My Girlfriend" live for the first time at the "BAZAAR Stars' Charity Night" and donated 600,000 RMB for Bazaar's charitable project.[15] Over the next two days, Kun, partnered with MiGu Music and successfully held his first set of small-scale fan meetings at Chengdu and Shanghai. On the last day of October, Kun delivered his first stage performance of "Pull Up" at the "ELLEMEN Movie Hero Gala" in Beijing. On November 7, Nine Percent released their first original song, "Rule Breaker", one of the tracks in their album To the NINEs.[16] Kun co-wrote the lyrics of "Rule Breaker" and "Good Things". Rule Breaker was written by some of the same writers as "Pull Up" namely Mike Macdermid, Rajiv Bukhory, David Brant and in addition, USA based producer Kevin Chozen took the helm on production.

At the Twelfth Annual Migu Music Awards, held on December 8, Kun's "Wait Wait Wait" was ranked one of the Top Ten Pop Songs of the Year.[17] This marked the first major award received by Kun for his musical work. On December 28, TC Candler & The Independent Critics released their highly awaited List of The 100 Most Handsome Faces of 2018, taking into account the large pool of public opinion and suggestions,[18] where Kun has been ranked as having the 27th Most Handsome Face in 2018.[19] On December 30, Kun performed "You Can Be My Girlfriend" and "Wait Wait Wait" at the "Zhejiang TV New Year's Eve Concert". On the very next day, he unveiled his first stage performance of "It's You" at the "Dragon TV New Year's Eve Gala" in Shanghai.

2019–Present: Ambassador of China and Jamaica, new songs, and the solo tour

On January 10, 2019, Kun was awarded the title of "China and Jamaica's Goodwill Ambassador" by the Jamaican Embassy in Shanghai, China. With this honorable title, Kun called on mutual cultural exchanges between China and Jamaica. He said that he hopes to become a positive role-model for the younger generation.[20]

On January 16, the official theme song of the movie The Knight of Shadows: Between Yin and Yang, "The Lunar Song" (一起笑出来), was released. This song marks a noteworthy collaboration between Kun and the renowned cinematic actor and entertainer, Jackie Chan.[21]

On January 18, the first episode of Cai Xukun's Unfinished, a documentary series initiated by Weibo, was released. This short video series spans across various themes close to his heart, and is expected to run for 12 episodes.

On January 19, Kun released an artistic music video for "Wait Wait Wait", directed by Dave Meyers.[22] The award-winning director and his international team created a highly cinematic and storytelling music video using a series of symbolic elements, to allude to the message behind the song.

On February 5, the first day of Chinese New Year in 2019, Kun prepared an exclusive stage performance for Beijing TV's Spring Festival Gala by delivering a song he co-wrote with other musicians. "That Spring" (那年春天) marked the first time he performed a song that was written entirely in Chinese.[23] He later revealed his intention to dedicate the song as an exclusive performance for Beijing TV, and hence he will not be releasing a studio version of it.

On February 18, Kun released his first Chinese single "No Exception” (没有意外). The song was a collaboration between two musicians, with composition by Yoga Lin and lyrics written by Kun. A week later on February 26, an animated music video for "No Exception" was released.[24] The music video created by a group of artists from South Korean-based publishing and filmmaking studio, VCRWORKS, employs abstract elements and snippets from Kun's life to recount his story. Attempting to relate his own story with a personal narrative while being aligned to the overall theme of the song, Kun chose a controlled and melodic singing style when delivering this melancholic ballad. "No Exception" once again rose to the number one position on multiple music charts in China, setting an impressive record on music streaming platforms for 2019.[25]

On March 1, Kun officially announced the dates for his first solo tour "KUN ONE North America/U.K. Tour 2019" to bring his music to fans in Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and London from April 4 to April 12, 2019. It is worth noting that the tickets for the Los Angeles and New York shows were sold out online within the first few minutes they went on sale. On March 15, Kun released the first of his first DJ mix, "Bigger" on Spotify and was one of the tracks performed at his solo tour in April. The release date for "Bigger" was slated for March 22 in China.

On April 19, Kun released a song titled "Hard To Get". Prior to the song's release, Kun updated his social media accounts with three photos in succession, captioned 'H', 'T' and 'G'. The song was first performed during his first solo tour. The music video of this song was released a bit later than expected, but it was released on May 3 through Kun's new YouTube Channel. The music video for "Hard To Get" has been viewed for over 10 million times on YouTube and 100 million times on his Weibo.[26]

On May 16, Kun attended the opening ceremony of the Asian Film and TV Week. On May 24 and 25, Kun finished the last two shows of his KUN ONE tour in Toronto and Vancouver.

Kun was invited to be a guest judge for the 11th episode of the World's Got Talent, filmed in Hunan, China. He also delivered a special performance with a mix of "It's You" and "Hard To Get".[27] The episode was broadcast on June 28 and immediately became a Hot Topic on Weibo. For the first time in its history, the program was the Most Discussed Variety Show of the day.[28]

On October 31, Kun performed his newest single 重生 (Rebirth) for 2019's Fresh Asia Music Awards[29]. Prior to the performance, Kun uploaded to his social media accounts teasers for the song with the caption 'something is coming...'.[30]


Endorsements and Ambassadorship

In 2018, Kun was chosen to be the brand ambassador for the skin care line of YOSEIDO, the parent company of Nongfu Spring. He was also named the promotional ambassador for L'OREAL PARIS, and an ambassador for the smartphone technological giant Vivo.

Artistry

Kun has composed and produced most of his solo works on his own, including "I Wanna Get Love", the EP 1, and "Wait Wait Wait". [41][42][43] He also co-wrote the lyrics of "Rule Breaker" and "Good Things", two of the tracks in NINE PERCENT's album To the NINEs.[16] He has a very diverse music style, ranging from Future R&B, Urban R&B, Hip-hop, Pop, Dance to Electronic Soul.

Philanthropy

Kun has been very active in supporting philanthropies throughout his career. Back in 2014, he participated as a runner in a fundraising marathon to help children suffering from autism.[44] In August 2018, Kun donated 32,000 RMB to a private non-for-profit autism rehabilitation facility for children older than 6 years old.[45] On October 13, 2018, Kun performed at the BAZAAR Stars' Charity Night and donated 600,000 RMB without making it known to the public. Unfortunately, his donation invited much criticism from haters before the list of donors was published.[46] The raised funds were intended for the costs of building facilities that would allow students in the rural areas to pursue different extracurricular activities, such as learning music.

In addition, Kun often uses his Weibo account, which has 22 million followers, as a platform to rally his fans to participate in and do their part for good causes, such as making donations to support the fight against leukemia.[47]

On November 29, 2018, Kun met with a traditional musician from the Yi ethnic group in Sichuan and filmed a short program for the "Tracing the Influence of Music" project organized by MiGu Music.[48] The aim of the project was to raise awareness, preserve distinctive music cultures and instruments from ancient China. In December 2018, Kun joined the Star Lights "Battle Against Poverty" project, a charity movement initiated by Jackie Chan, which has garnered the support of many A-list Chinese celebrities. Along with a crew of cameramen from a Chinese television channel, CCTV-6, Kun visited a poverty-stricken area on Hainan Island to film his charitable efforts as part of the Star Lights "Battle Against Poverty" project. Through a live broadcast, Kun introduced local specialities and agricultural products to viewers across the country, hoping to boost tourism and increase the sales of local products, one of which was the salted duck egg. With Kun's popularity and positive influence, fans rushed to purchase these duck eggs, which led to all 80,000 eggs being sold out within a minute. “Cai Xukun's fans, please give the ducks some time” immediately became a trending topic on Weibo.[49] With Kun's advocacy for philanthropy, his fans have made significant contribution to different charity causes, including donations for purchasing school supplies and building a new road in rural villages.[50] By the end of 2018, the total charitable donations made by individual fans and fan clubs was approximately 5,000,000 RMB.[51]

On May 12, 2019, Kun was named the Goodwill Ambassador of the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation. He pledged to promote the social awareness for the disaster prevention programs.[52] On June 16, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art announced that Kun would be their Arts and Philanthropy Ambassador, promoting educational programs for underserved children.[53] On June 17, an earthquake measuring 5.8 MW struck the province of Sichuan in China. 13 people died and more than 200 others were injured in this earthquake. On June 20, Kun donated 100,000 RMB to support the post-earthquake relief efforts.[54]

Lawsuits over Contract Dispute

On February 10, 2017, Kun filed a lawsuit against his then-company, Shanghai Yihai Entertainment, for poor treatment and the right to terminate his contract. Yihai was allegedly in arrears and members of SWIN were said to have to pay for all expenses of their activities, including but not limited to their albums and fan meetings, without being reimbursed. Furthermore, Yihai demanded that each member sign a Debt Acknowledgment Letter for 1.1 million RMB (approximately US$165,000) to share the production costs for Season 2 of Super Idol. In addition, the boys had to sign an Amendment to their original contract within an hour of notice. This new document not only severely shrank the share of the artists' pay, but also extended the term of their contracts.[55]

Soon after the broadcast of Idol Producer, Yihai filed another case in March 2018, to countersue Kun for the breach of contact, asking that he pay the company 1.1 million RMB for liquidated damages and compensation for their losses.[56] Meanwhile, Yihai demanded for Kun to continue to abide by the terms in the contract, allowing the former to be entitled to 70% of the income Kun earns from dramas, endorsements and variety shows.[57]

In October 2018, the Court of First Instance rendered a decision favoring Kun, prompting Yihai Entertainment to submit an appeal. In January 2019, a second trial was held. The court did not announce the verdict until February, with the final ruling issued on February 19, 2019.[58] iQiyi released an exclusive report stating that the two-year dispute between Kun and Yihai has finally been settled, with Kun winning the case, hence being free from his contract.[59]

Controversy

Kun's unprecedented surge in popularity not only attracted a growing number of fans, but also a group of haters who jumped at every opportunity to demean and discredit him. On January 18, 2019, NBA Official announced that Kun would be its first Chinese New Year greeting ambassador and released a holiday commercial featuring Kun as a basketball fan, and three NBA star players.[60] Some of Kun's haters took the opportunity to manipulate a series of malicious fabrication in an attempt to mislead the public opinion's of him. These fabrications included a false claim that Kun was appointed an Ambassador of NBA, which they considered to be an insult to the sport. In addition, his haters created a flurry of disparaging and violent media based off an earlier dance and basketball clip from Kun's time in Idol Producer. In order to rally and attract the attention of more viewers, some of these videos included gore and violence, creating discomfort and public anxiety among Internet users. At first, all pranks only happened in a limited scope, but Kun's Studio issued a Legal Notice to Bilibili and the uploaders, it sparked the anger on the Internet. Bilibili responded that they believe law is fair, and didn't punish any related uploader. Then, "Chicken you are so beautiful" (sounds like a word of his song) and "Sing, jump, rap, baseketball" (his word in a clip) became viral soon. There are some people pointed out that the Legal Notice has many mistakes and became a joke, but later somebody questioned the real intention of Kun's Studio. Kun's fans wanted to fight back, but signing up in Bilibili need a test, and almost nobody of them can pass it quickly, it also became a joke. To prevent the potential attack from Kun's fun, Bilibili temporary closed the upgrade channel for low-grade accounts.[61][62]But some Kun's fans claimed that they were also harassed in public, it caused more and more people gradually learnt to disregard such absurdity, Kun is still sometimes considered to be a metaphor for victims of cyberbullying.[63]

In August 2018, a post of Kun on Sina Weibo for publicizing his new song has more than 100 millions shares, It caused many people's doubt. In September, official weibo account of Communist Youth League of China posted an article to dispute the truthfulness. But fans of Kun criticized CYLC is too leisure to do it.[64] In February 2019, CCTV used this post as example to criticized frauds in entertainment industry. In June, The Beijing News reported that Beijing police had arrested four people for making Xinyuan Application (星援APP) to produce fake data for artists, including shares of Kun's Weibo. They had profited more than 8 million yuan (about one million dollars) in half a year. The fans of Kun commented that it's usual for many artists, and unfair to pick Kun out only. Kun and his company didn't response to it.[65][66]
