On April 4, several media in Chinese language, including Sohu, reported, “After laying Barbie Hsu to rest, Koo Jun-Yup did not appear in public. He lost about 12 kg and cries every day.”
In an attempt to comfort him, the sister and the television personality of Barbie Hsu Dee HSU, together with his family, invited Koo Jun-Yup for weekly dinners. The relationship stated, “In Taiwan, he had only a dear friend by his side. Without an immediate family nearby, he endured immense pain alone.”
Koo Jun-Yup is said to have suspended all professional activities and is now being dedicated to the creation of a statue in memory of Barbie HSU. While the statue is still being developed, it is said that a place for it has already been reserved for the Jinbaoshan cemetery.
Koo Jun-Yup and Barbie HSU came out briefly in 1998 before breaking. Barbie Hsu later married the Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei, with whom he had a son and a daughter. After the divorce in 2021, Koo Jun-Yup stretched them again, leading to their meeting and marriage in 2022.
Tragically, Barbie Hsu died of acute pneumonia on February 2 during a trip to Japan, leaving devastated fans and loved ones.
