Taiwanese outlet ETtoday recently reported a local resident's testimony that "about two months ago, Koo Jun-yup visited a newly constructed apartment near Jinbao Mountain." The apartment is located in a scenic suburban area, with some units offering views of Jinbao Mountain.
From Taipei, where Koo currently resides, Jinbao Mountain is over an hour's drive away. It is known that Koo has visited Jinbao Mountain almost daily since his wife's passing, reflecting his deep love and desire to be close to her.
Xu Xi Yuan passed away on February 2nd from acute pneumonia caused by the flu while traveling in Japan with her family for the Lunar New Year. Her funeral was held on March 15th at the Rose Garden in Jinbao Mountain, Taiwan, where Koo Jun-yup carried her urn to the burial site, staying by her side until the very end.
Koo Jun-yup is reportedly visiting Jinbao Mountain daily since Xu Xi Yuan's passing. He is currently working on a statue of Xu Xi Yuan, which is expected to be completed by 2026.
