Since Barbie Hsu’s passing, Koo Jun Yup (DJ Koo) – her current husband – has been under intense public scrutiny. After announcing his decision to forgo inheritance rights and subtly criticizing Wang Xiaofei for playing tricks and smearing his family, Koo Jun Yup was accused by director Wang Zi Qi of being fake. This post led to suspicions that the Korean singer was putting on an act, with hidden motives behind his public rejection of one-third of his late wife’s inheritance.
Amid the negative press about Koo Jun Yup, singer Tao Jing Ying – a close colleague of both Barbie Hsu and Dee Hsu – spoke up in his defense on a television broadcast. According to Tao Jing Ying, Koo Jun Yup is a decent person who treated Barbie Hsu well and maintained a harmonious relationship with her two children and in-laws.
Furthermore, Tao Jing Ying asserted that Koo Jun Yup was not financially dependent on Barbie Hsu, as rumored. During their marriage, the Korean singer held art exhibitions, released an album, performed as a DJ at music events, and engaged in business ventures to earn his own income. Koo Jun Yup also owns substantial assets in South Korea, but he simply does not flaunt his wealth in public. Therefore, claims that he married the Meteor Garden star for money are unfounded.
Chinese media reports indicate that Koo Jun Yup resides in the exclusive UN Village area in Hannam-dong, one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Seoul. His apartment is valued at 2.9 billion won. His neighbors include A-list celebrities such as Lee Byung Hun, G-Dragon, Taeyang (Big Bang), So Ji Sub, Jennie (BLACKPINK), and PSY. In addition, DJ Koo co-owns his own fashion brand, ALLEN A.
A close colleague of Barbie Hsu reaffirmed that Koo Jun Yup is not financially dependent on his wife. He has his own wealth but does not showcase it to the media.
Before Tao Jing Ying’s statement, Kang Won Rae – Koo Jun Yup’s bandmate from CLON – also emphasized that the Korean singer never had his eyes on Barbie Hsu’s assets, stating, “All he ever wanted was Barbie Hsu.” Meanwhile, Barbie Hsu’s manager shared that the three years she spent with Koo Jun Yup were some of the happiest times of her life.
Following Barbie Hsu’s passing, Koo Jun Yup has shown concerning signs of distress, evoking sympathy from the public. Since bringing his wife’s ashes back to his homeland on February 5, he has secluded himself at home, refusing to go outside. Sources report that he has lost so much weight that his muscles have disappeared, leaving him looking frail and gaunt.
Despite his immense grief, Koo Jun Yup has been meticulously taking care of Barbie Hsu’s ashes. Reports indicate that he strongly opposed having her remains buried using tree burial methods, expressing his deep sorrow and desire to stay close to her. However, in the end, he had to respect the wishes of Barbie Hsu’s family.
