Since late 2021, Barbie Hsu and her former husband Wang Xiaofei have been making headlines with their “media battle”. In particular, Wang Xiaofei not only insulted his ex-wife, but also called DJ Koo a “gold-digger”. It is known that DJ Koo’s net worth amounts to 2.5 million USD (including a villa in Seoul) after 25 years of activities in Korea, yet according to Chinese media Sina, Barbie Hsu is 8 times richer than her current husband.

On the other hand, DJ Koo revealed in a recent interview that he felt guilty over not being able to give Barbie Hsu a full-filling life. According to the male celebrity, he even thought about getting a divorce since Barbie Hsu “deserves a better life”. Immediately, his remarks have become a topic of discussion across various internet forums.

Below are some comments from netizens:

• If Barbie Hsu cannot earn her own money, only the super super rich can cater for her at her rate of spending 
• She deserves a better life? Just say you guys got bored of each other 
• It seems that Barbie Hsu has terrible marriage luck. Also, can’t she pay for her own things? 
• Just my two cents but I think DJ Koo thought he found a goldmine after Barbie Hsu divorced her rich ex-husband, only for Wang Xiaofei to stop paying 
• This is how love is in reality, guys. No matter how in love you felt, it all boils down to money in the end 
• Separating because their partner deserves a better life is a very common yet ridiculous excuse. 

In the past, it is reported that DJ Koo is living in Taiwan with Barbie Hsu and making his living by performing at bars. He initially traveled to work by cab, but has since been spotted driving. However, the vehicle driven by DJ Koo was later revealed to have been a property of Wang Xiaofei, which cost about 2.4 million USD, leading to heavy criticism from netizens.

At the same time, DJ Koo previously claimed that he only brought 16,000 USD to Taiwan, and even his quarantine fee was covered by Barbie Hsu. Using these sharing, Wang Xiaofei did not hold back on calling the DJ a “gold-digger” or “leeched on Barbie Hsu”. 

Unwilling to be called a gold-digger, DJ Koo is trying to purchase a house in Taiwan for himself and Barbie Hsu. He has everything in Korea, from house, car, to properties, but none of these he can bring to Taiwan. As a result, he can only buy a 120 meter square apartment in installments, but this was a much meeker life compared to Barbie Hsu’s luxurious marriage with Wang Xiaofei. As of the moment, the actress has also moved out of her ex-husband’s house into another property under her name, in order to protect the dignity of her new husband.

With all the controversy surrounding her marriages, Barbie Hsu and her family are suffering from heavy consequences. In particular, the image of DJ Koo and Barbie Hsu’s sister, Dee Hsu, have been tainted and their commercial value declined. They even had to take a long hiatus from entertainment activities to avoid criticisms.
