According to Taiwanese law, her two minor children and Koo Jun Yup should inherit the assets jointly. Amid growing rumors about the legacy, Koo Jun Yup addressed the issue publicly, stating: “All the assets were accumulated through Hee Won’s blood, sweat and tears to protect the family she loved.” He added it intends to entrust his rights entirely to his mother-in-law.
As Wang Xiaofei restarts her life with her extended family, the spotlight remains on the complicated legacy left by Barbie Hsu. whose personal life continues to attract attention even after his passing.
