According to the latest report from ETtoday, Koo Jun Yup has been unreachable. The singer has not responded to any calls from family or friends. The situation is even more concerning because no one currently knows his whereabouts. “He’s in Taiwan, but we’re in a situation where we’ve lost contact. We really don’t know where he is. In Taiwan, he only had Barbie Hsu as his close family and support. We, along with Barbie Hsu’s relatives, went to his house to search for him, but couldn’t find him,” a close friend of the couple expressed their concern.

Before this, on the afternoon of February 3rd, the South Korean outlet Ilgan Sports had an interview with Koo Jun Yup after Barbie Hsu’s passing.
