The Dream First Love of Millions of Men

Born in 1976, Barbie Hsu was one of Taiwan’s most famous actresses. She began her artistic career at a young age as a magazine model and later formed a music group with her younger sister, Dee Hsu. The duo also worked as entertainment program hosts in Taiwan.

In 2001, Barbie Hsu rose to fame across Asia for her role as Shan Cai in the hit drama Meteor Garden, starring alongside Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Ken Chu, and Vanness Wu. Her portrayal of a strong-willed, poor girl made her the dream crush of millions of young men. She later continued her success with notable roles in A Chinese Ghost Story, Mars, Summer’s Desire, and Corner of Love.

According to Sina, although Barbie Hsu did not star in many dramas, she was considered a talented actress who fully embodied every role she played, leaving a lasting impression on audiences. Thanks to Meteor Garden, she was nominated for Best Leading Actress at the Golden Bell Awards. She also starred in notable films such as Silk and Reign of Assassins, and was nominated for Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards for her role in Connected.

The Recognized Beauty Goddess

Despite the controversies surrounding her life, Barbie Hsu remained beloved for her straightforward, intelligent, independent, and strong personality.

When she married businessman Wang Xiaofei, she did not hesitate to sell her assets to support her husband’s business. However, when she realized she was being mistreated, she decisively divorced him.

The actress often advised women to value themselves and take care of their beauty. At a young age, she released a beauty book titled Beauty Queen, which included various skincare remedies she had collected.

Barbie Hsu once admitted that she was obsessed with beauty to an extreme level. The more bizarre or challenging the beauty treatments were, the more she wanted to try them.

In an interview, she shared that to achieve pale white skin, she once used anticoagulant medication, which prevents blood clotting and results in a pale complexion. However, it also caused her body to bruise easily. She later admitted, “At that time, I didn’t care about the risks. As long as I heard it could whiten my skin, I would use it.” However, she later acknowledged that this was a completely misguided approach.

Despite her love for beauty, she was willing to gain weight during pregnancy, which only made the public admire her even more.

A Controversial Marriage with a Beijing Tycoon

Apart from her acting career, Barbie Hsu’s personal life attracted significant attention. One of the biggest controversies was her marriage to Wang Xiaofei, one of Beijing’s “Four Young Masters,” after only 20 days of knowing each other. There were even rumors that she “stole” Wang Xiaofei from her best friend, actress Ady An, which led to their falling out and a permanent rift between them.

Unfortunately, what seemed like a dream marriage turned into a nightmare. Barbie Hsu’s dream of marrying into a wealthy family and living a luxurious life quickly shattered when Wang Xiaofei’s businesses failed, leading to massive financial losses.

Even the S Hotel, which Wang Xiaofei built as a gift for Barbie Hsu in Taipei, struggled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in declining guests and revenue.

Moreover, Barbie Hsu sacrificed her career to focus on her health in order to have children. The actress had pre-existing neurological issues but had to stop taking medication during pregnancy, which led to frequent seizures and put her life at risk. Despite these difficulties, she gave birth to a son and a daughter.

After giving birth, she struggled to lose weight due to medication side effects. At one point, she weighed up to 80kg and was harshly criticized as an “overweight auntie.” This was particularly devastating for someone as passionate about beauty as Barbie Hsu.

In 2021, Barbie Hsu and Wang Xiaofei confirmed their divorce, ending a tumultuous 10-year marriage. However, their disputes did not stop there. Over the past four years, they have frequently taken each other to court over child custody and alimony issues. Wang Xiaofei accused Barbie Hsu of preventing him from seeing their children, while Barbie Hsu sued her ex-husband for failing to pay child support.

This marriage cost Barbie Hsu her wealth, health, youth, and reputation.

A Second Marriage Full of Controversy

Just months after her divorce, Barbie Hsu rekindled her romance with her former Korean boyfriend, DJ Koo. In early 2022, they officially tied the knot. However, DJ Koo was rumored to be struggling financially and unable to support Barbie Hsu’s luxurious lifestyle. Since remarrying, she has rarely appeared in public.

The last known image of Barbie Hsu was on January 26, when she attended a wedding of a friend’s child. In the photo, she appeared thinner but was smiling brightly with her family.
