South Korean singer and disc jockey (DJ) Koo Jun Yup, in a post on social media, expressed his period of mourning over the death of his wife, Taiwanese superstar Barbie Hsu.
In the same post, he also addressed rumors surrounding Barbie’s assets.
On his Instagram account, DJ Koo shared that he is deeply saddened by his wife’s sudden demise, writing about it in both Korean and Chinese.
“On Feb. 2, 2025, my angel returned to heaven. I want to express my gratitude to everyone mourning Hsu,” he wrote which was translated by Korea Times.
DJ Koo explicitly described his being in deep sorrow as “Right now, I am going through indescribable sorrow and suffering, feeling a gut-wrenching pain.”
DJ Koo also took the time to address false rumors purposely spread by “heartless people” who tried to ruin Barbie’s family and their relationship.
“I have neither the strength nor the desire to say anything. But even before I could properly mourn and grieve this tremendous loss, some heartless people have begun to defame my family and our love,” he said.
Calling the issue ” fake news”, DJ Koo said:
“Some people are trying to damage our family by creating fake news about insurance and costs. It is terrifying to think that such cruel people truly exist in this world. Please, can you just let Hsu rest in peace?”
Ending all false speculation, DJ Koo said that all of Barbie’s assets will be managed by her family.
“All of Hsu’s assets were earned through her hard work to support the family she loved, so I have decided to give full authority over them to my mother-in-law,” he said.
Barbie Hsu’s death at the age of 48 was caused by pneumonia while she and her family were on a trip to Japan.
Meanwhile, a captivating video showcasing Barbie and DJ Koo has gone viral online.
In this touching clip, DJ Koo reflects on their emotional reunion during a television show after being apart for twenty years.
Sources indicate that DJ Koo never tied the knot because Barbie was his first love, and notably, he retained her phone number even after their breakup in 2000.
This gesture enabled him to maintain contact with her after her divorce from her Chinese businessman spouse, highlighting the enduring nature of true love over the years.(NIGEL CHAVEZ DE ESTRADA)
