Koo Jun-yup, 57, a DJ and rapper from the duo Clon, marked the 48th birthday of his late wife, the Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu, at her grave, according to Korean outlets. Hsu’s younger sister, Dee Hsu, said in a social media post on October 6 that the family had come to celebrate her sister’s birthday. [ 2 , 3 ]
Dee Hsu said they brought the champagne and cake her sister liked most, and that they sat beside her, crying and laughing as they shared stories of their time together and spoke of how much they miss her. Photographs she posted showed Koo, Dee Hsu and family members at the grave, which was decorated with pink flowers, with the group wearing matching pink tops. [ 3 ]
Koo has visited the grave on significant dates since Hsu’s death. On February 8, the couple’s fourth wedding anniversary, he brought a chocolate cake and wine and visited the burial site alone, a visit reported by local media. The same month, on the first anniversary of her death, he published a handwritten letter on his social media account: “If we meet again next time, let’s be together forever, forever. I miss you. I miss you so much. I miss you to death.” [ 3 ]
The two met in the late 1990s and dated for about a year before breaking up over practical difficulties, according to the account. Hsu later married businessman Wang Xiaofei, from whom she divorced in 2021, and after reconnecting with Koo about 20 years later, the two married in 2022. Koo said at the time that he proposed because he could no longer waste time that had already passed. [ 3 ]
Hsu died on February 2 last year of pneumonia complications from flu while travelling in Japan with her family, less than three years into the marriage. One Korean outlet published an article whose headline was about Koo’s birthday visit to the grave but whose text dealt with an unrelated North Korea story; no details from that text were used here.
