Kang Won-rae Shares Heartfelt Moment of Koo Jun-yup Mourning His Late Wife

Kang Won-rae, a member of the group Clone, has shared a touching moment regarding Koo Jun-yup's emotional state following the loss of his wife.

On October 3rd, Kang took to his Instagram to reveal, "Jun-yup was in the waiting room at an event, listening repeatedly to a Korean singer's song and crying." He continued, "Jun-yup was scribbling something on a piece of paper. When he was led out by the event staff, I went over and saw a paper with 'Seo Hee-won' written on it."

The accompanying photo shows Koo Jun-yup's deep longing for his wife, with the words 'Seo Hee-won, Hee-won-ah' covering an entire tissue, evoking sympathy from viewers.

Kang added, "I kept it, fearing it might be thrown away as trash."

Meanwhile, the late Seo Hee-won passed away suddenly from acute pneumonia during a family trip to Japan in February last year. Koo Jun-yup is known to visit her grave at Geumbosan Cemetery daily to clean the tombstone.

Koo Jun-yup and the late Seo first met in 1998 and dated for about a year. However, due to opposition from Koo's agency, he ended the relationship. Seo Hee-won later married a Chinese businessman in 2011 and had a son and a daughter, but divorced in 2021. Upon hearing this, Koo Jun-yup called her using the phone number he remembered from 20 years ago, leading to their reunion and marriage.
