Debates Arose from Deleted Letter

After several days of quietly handling the funeral arrangements for his wife, Barbie Hsu, on the evening of February 6, Koo Jun-yup (DJ Koo) posted a long heartfelt letter on his personal social media account, expressing the indescribable pain of losing his beloved wife.

However, according to media outlet China Times, Koo Jun-yup deleted this letter after only several hours, and posted an Instagram story for clarification. Here, the Korean singer said, “I have realized that my last post may have caused some confusion, so I’d like to make some clarifications. Regarding the assets that Barbie Hsu’s children deserve to inherit, I sincerely hope that their rights are rightfully protected under the supervision of lawyers and the law.

This action of Koo Jun-yup has stirred confusion, spurring mixed reactions. In particular, many people believed that the singer’s original letter included certain improper claims, leading to deletion.

As Koo Jun-yup is only the step-father of Barbie Hsu’s children, their custody may be given to the late actress’ former husband, Wang Xiaofei, in accordance with Taiwan law. Additionally, Wang Xiaofei may control the children’s proportion of inheritance if he took custody of the children.

The only exception is when Barbie Hsu’s family reach a settlement with Wang Xiaofei and assume custody of the children instead.

Additionally, many people suspected that Koo Jun-yup deleted his original letter in order to emphasize that he only only doesn’t need to inherit Barbie Hsu’s assets, but also won’t touch the children’s inheritance.

A Heartfelt Yet Scathing Letter

Meanwhile, in his now deleted letter, Koo Jun-yup implicitly criticized Wang Xiaofei and his mother Zhang Lan for their tactics and for tarnishing the reputation of him and Barbie Hsu’s family. Moreover, Koo Jun-yup also mentioned the matters of inheritance rights and the custody of Barbie Hsu’s 2 children after her passing. The singer stated that he will transfer all his inheritance rights to his mother-in-law, and regarding Barbie Hsu’s two children, he will do everything necessary to ensure they grow up in a safe and healthy environment.

Below is the full text of Koo Jun-yup’s heartfelt letter:

“First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone who has mourned Barbie Hsu.

I am going through a sorrow and pain that words cannot describe. This is a difficult, agonizing period beyond anything I could have imagined. I no longer have the strength to speak, and I truly do not want to say anything at this time.

Our family is still facing the pain of losing a loved one. Yet some people, like monsters, have criticized our family and hurt the love that binds us. Some pretend to be sorrowful while walking in the rain, while others deliberately sabotage our family’s image by spreading damaging rumors about insurance and money, tarnishing our reputation. I cannot believe there are people this cruel in the world. Please, stop—it is time to let our Barbie Hsu rest in peace. If you can do that, I offer my sincere thanks.

Regarding the precious assets that Barbie Hsu left behind, I would also like to clarify. First, the inheritance was entirely earned by Barbie Hsu through her sweat and blood. It is what she wished to pass on to her beloved family. Therefore, I will transfer all my inheritance rights to Barbie Hsu’s mother.

As for Barbie Hsu’s two children, I do not want any bad person to have access to or exploit them. I will consult a lawyer and take legal measures to protect Barbie Hsu’s children, ensuring that they grow up in a healthy and safe environment.

The time I spent with Barbie Hsu is irreplaceable in this world. It was a priceless gift. Therefore, I want to protect everything that Barbie Hsu cherished most. This is the last thing I should and must do for her. Once again, I express my deep gratitude to everyone who has mourned and shown love for Barbie Hsu.”

The announcement of renouncing inheritance rights and his implicit declaration of war against Wang Xiaofei over the custody of Barbie Hsu’s two children have shocked Chinese public opinion. Currently, the latest statement from the Korean singer is trending as the number one hot search on Weibo. Netizens are moved by Koo Jun-yup’s love for Barbie Hsu, and they also support him for stepping up to protect the two children after their sudden loss of their mother.

War between Ex-husband’s Family and Barbie Hsu’s Family

Meanwhile, despite Mandy, the wife of Barbie Hsu’s ex-husband Wang Xiaofei, claiming that she and Wang Xiaofei will take care of the children, many of Barbie Hsu’s friends have said that during her lifetime, the actress never wanted her two children to live with Wang Xiaofei (likely due to the physical and mental abuse she suffered during their marriage). Moreover, Barbie Hsu’s ex-husband has been viewed negatively, which could affect the children’s development.

On top of that, after Barbie Hsu’s passing, Mrs. Zhang Lan (the ex-husband’s mother) spread rumors that her son rented a private jet to bring the ashes of the superstar back home, or that Koo Jun-yup purchased as many as 21 insurance policies for his wife to benefit from her death, further painting a negative image.

In addition, Wang Xiaofei has started a new family with hot girl Mandy. Therefore, netizens are extremely worried about the prospect of the stepmother–stepchild relationship if Wang Xiaofei gains custody of the children after Barbie Hsu’s passing.
