Singer and DJ Koo Jun-yup, who recently lost his wife, Xu Xiyuan (also known as Barbie Hsu), is reportedly not eating or drinking. According to reports from Taiwan’s Mirror Weekly on the 26th, Koo is still overwhelmed with grief and cries daily. A source revealed that when talking about Koo and Xu, both parties couldn’t hold back their tears. Koo is suffering from severe eye swelling that isn’t responding to treatment, and he has refused food and drink, leading to significant weight loss.
Koo and the family are seeking a space to lay Xu to rest and to create a space for mourning. A well-known Taiwanese funeral company, Longyan, has suggested designing a small memorial garden for Xu, costing approximately 10 million Taiwan dollars (around 4.378 billion South Korean won), and the family is currently considering this offer. Xu Xiyuan married businessman Wang Xiaofei in 2011 and had a son and daughter but divorced in 2021. She reunited with her former love, Koo Jun-yup, after 20 years and remarried in March 2022. Xu passed away on the 2nd in Japan at the age of 48 from influenza and septicemia caused by acute pneumonia.
