Koo Jun-yup, a member of the group Clon, attended the first anniversary of the death of actor Barbie Hsu (Seo Hee-won), and the coat he wore drew attention.

On Sunday, Taiwanese singer Tao Ching-ying wrote on social media, “Early in the morning, we left Taipei for Jinshan,” adding that wind and rain battered the route and the sea was rough. She said it was hard to imagine “how Hsu’s husband, Koo Jun-yup, traveled this lonely and difficult road every day.”

She said family and friends gathered to see a statue, describing it as “a pure young girl” looking toward Taipei.

Tao also said the coat Koo wore for Hsu’s first anniversary was one Hsu gave him 27 years ago, and that Hsu’s mother showed off shoes her daughter had given her.

Koo previously mentioned the coat on tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block” in 2022, saying it was hanging at home and that Hsu had given it to him for an awards ceremony. “I couldn’t throw away anything she gave me,” he said.

Koo and Hsu dated in the late 1990s, broke up, then reunited more than 20 years later and married in 2022.
