On February 3, several Taiwan media, including the central press agency, reported that Barbie Hsu died of pneumonia caused by the flu.
The younger sister, the celebrities and the Barbie Hsu Dee HSU actress, issued an official declaration to the local media saying, “Our family has traveled to Japan for the new year and, unfortunately, my beloved and kind sister Barbie Hsu captured the influence, which led to pneumonia and, unfortunately, left us.”
The declaration continued, “I am grateful to have been his sister in this life, to take care of each other and spend time together. I will always be grateful and I will miss it. See you, I will love you forever. “
Barbie Hsu gained fame in 2001 for his role as Dong Shan Cai in the Taiwanese version of “Boys Over Flowers”, called “Meteor Garden”. He was affectionately known as Taiwan’s “Geum Jan-Di”.
Koo Jun Yup and Barbie HSU had a report in the early 2000s while both were active in their career. However, they separated.
In 2011, Barbie Hsu married Wang Xiaofei, a rich businessman, and had a son and daughter. However, they announced their divorce in 2021.
So, in 2022, Koo Jun Yup shared on social media, “I want to continue the love I had with the woman I loved 20 years ago”, AND “After hearing about his divorce, I found his old number and contacted. Fortunately, the number was always the same and we linked ourselves. “ This led to their reconciliation and married that year later.
Koo Jun Yup appeared on Tvn’s “You Quiz on the Block” in the same year, expressing his deep love for Barbie Hsu. He said, “I am so grateful that after 20 years he accepted me again. My goal is to spend the rest of my life with her, ensuring that it remains happy, healthy and loved. I will always be there for her, at heart every moment. Together, I hope we can live a joyful life. “
He also expressed his deep affection for her by obtaining tattoos that represented the coordinates of Taiwan, the astrological sign of Barbie Hsu and her name. These tattoos symbolized their “settlement place”.
Barbie Hsu had participated in a party hosted by a famous Taiwan director in late January, accompanied by Koo Jun Yup. He had appeared healthy until recently, making the sudden news of his death even more shocking.
