Koo Jun-yeop Honors Late Wife Barbie Hsu with Daily Vigil and Memorial Statue

Koo Jun-yeop, a renowned singer, has captured attention by revealing in an interview with local media that he frequently dreams of his late wife, actress Barbie Hsu.

According to Taiwanese media reports on the 30th, Koo has been vigilantly guarding Hsu's resting place at Jinbaoshan in New Taipei City since her passing. Following her death, Koo has halted all activities to dedicate his time to her gravesite. When asked by a reporter if he often dreams of his wife, Koo simply responded, "Of course." He also shared that he sketches daily at Hsu's gravesite and is in the process of designing a statue in her memory.

Local reports indicate that Koo plans to complete the statue by the first anniversary of Hsu's passing next year. Hsu's mother commented, "The sculpture will be based on Koo's drawings and is expected to be a beautiful piece."

According to local citizens, Koo remains at the gravesite regardless of the weather, using an umbrella in the rain and a parasol in the sun. The gravestone is inscribed with the couple's shared tattoo phrases, 'REMEMBER TOGETHER FOREVER' and 'Love Forever - Junjun.'

Fresh flowers and photos of Hsu are always present at the site, and Koo is known to bring coffee, bread, or homemade noodles to honor her memory.

Barbie Hsu tragically passed away on February 2nd due to 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 Jinbaoshan, Taiwan, where Koo carried her urn to the gravesite, staying by her side until the very end.
