A Los Angeles-based woman has accused Chinese-Canadian star Kris Wu of drugging and raping her — adding to the over two dozen similar allegations the 30-year-old former EXO member faces.

The unnamed woman alleged that she was sexually assaulted in a drinking party hosted by the singer-actor, whose real name is Wu Yi Fan, The Straits Times reported.

The alleged victim had been invited to the "awkward" gathering by Wu's assistant. Girls were allegedly asked to turn in their cell phones to prevent them from taking pictures and videos, a report by The Times of India said.

Attendees of the party allegedly held what looked like Viagra or other drugs while they took turns to sing freestyle.

The woman said she fell unconscious due to drinking too much and allegedly realized the sexual assault had taken place after gaining consciousness.

It was unclear when and where the alleged sexual assault took place.

The woman's lawyer, Jing Wan of L.A. firm Kingswood Law, alleged that it was an open secret how Wu "selects concubines" among international students, according to The Times of India report.

More than 24 women in China have come forward with similar allegations of being given alcohol and then pressured to have sex with, or were sexually assaulted by, Wu, as per The Straits Times.

Chinese police announced Wu's detainment on suspicion of rape on July 31 following the initial accusation by 19-year-old student Du Meizhu, who alleged he raped her when she was 17.

The U.S.-based accuser said she maintained her silence until now out of fear of being attacked by the public after Du received backlash from netizens over her accusations, The Times of India reported. She also said she was afraid of not being taken seriously due to lack of proof.

Wu has denied all allegations and insisted he was innocent in multiple social media statements.

"I only met Miss Du once at a friend's gathering, I didn't ply her with alcohol... I have never 'coerced women into sex' or engaged in 'date rape,'" Wu wrote on July 19, adding that he does not sleep with underage girls.

Wu's lawyers are suing Du for defamation over the allegations, while the university student is also taking legal action against the singer.

Brands including Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, L’Oréal Men and Porsche, among many others, have suspended their partnerships with Wu following the accusations against him.
