Early life
He spent his entire childhood in Hunan Province, where he was born, along with his family. At school, he was an assistant director and chairman of the student union. He received various awards at school, which were shown in the episode Day Day Up [2] .
When Xukun attended school, he was invited to join TFBOYS [3] . But since he was too young at that time, Xukun’s parents hoped that he would take time to study. Ultimately, he decided to study abroad. Xukun graduated from Grace Brethren High School [4] in California.
Early career
2012: Cast Debut
Xuykun began filming in 2012. His first work was shooting in the film " Fairytale " [5] . Also this year participated in the Upwards show! Youth [6] . In 2014, he starred in Lock Me Up, Tie Him Down [7] .
2015—2016: Super Idol (星 动 亚洲)
In 2015, he left his studies in America and participated in a reality show called Super Idol [8] [9] . Xukun overcame all the difficulties and got into the TOP-3. After that, the winners of the show debuted in the SWIN group [10] [11] under the wing of Pelias Entertainment. Xukun left this group several months after the debut.
2018-present: Idol Producer, first lead role, rising popularity, lawsuit
In early 2018, it became known that Xukun will become part of the new reality show Idol Producer [12] . He became very popular thanks to the show and took 1st place in the final. On April 6, 2018, he officially became part of the Nine Percent band [13] , a temporary band from the show Idol Producer.
While participating in Idol Producer, Kun sues [14] his former company. The fact is that Pelias Entertainment is forcing Xukun to pay 80,000,000 yuan (approximately 12,557,200 dollars) due to leaving the group before the expiration of the contract. Initially, Xuikun sued the company because of the mistreatment of the band members, since SWIN members had to pay for their own albums, fan meetings, MVs and concerts and that some of the members were reportedly in debt. In accordance with the content of the contract, if an artist terminates his contract early, they will have to pay an annual commission of 30,000,000 yuan for breach of contract, the company also has the right to demand 80,000,000 yuan from the artist as compensation. The case was brought to court on March 12, 2018.
Shortly after Idol Producer was completed, the series “ I Won't Get Bullied By Girls” [15] [16] was released . Xuikun played his first starring role. Shooting the series took place before the broadcast of the show.
The only single " I Wanna Get Love" headed the "Mainland China C-pop Single Chart" for 3 weeks. The song was from April to May song No. 1 in China.
On June 27, 2018, GenShanKou Elementary School [17] received donations for 30,000 musical instruments and books from Xukun.
On July 27, Xukun opened his own studio, Cai Xukun Studio [18] .
August 2 releases the first album, which is called "1." As Xukun himself said, each of his songs differed by genre - sexy, fresh, romantic. All songs from the album took high places in the charts. On August 23, he released the song “ Wait Wait Wait ”, which also had good positions [19] on the charts.
