It seems that Barbie Hsu’s sudden marriage to Korean musician DJ Koo (Koo Jun Yup) did not sit well with her mom. There were reports that Barbie’s mother Huang Chunmei (黄春梅) and younger sister Dee Hsu also didn’t know about the marriage at first and that Barbie’s mom was mad about being kept in the dark.
Recently, posts Huang Chunmei made on Facebook that’s seemingly directed at her new son-in-law have been going around online. In the afternoon of March 9, she posted a photo of chickens and the caption, “Noisy, noisy, noisy.” Late night, she wrote, “Ah bah, don’t come to snatch my daughter, son, I will peck you to death…” According to TVBS, Dee Hsu who seems to be the mediator had implied things will be fine. She said, “(We’re) all family, that love each other so much, how long can the silent treatment last” in response to reports that Huang Chunmei is demanding an apology from Barbie Hsu or she won’t meet her son-in-law.
DJ Koo landed in Taiwan on March 9 and is currently undergoing 10-day quarantine.

I don’t approve of flash marriages but it is what it is. Her daughter is wealthy and so is the new husband. Why stir up more dramas. Does she prefer her daughter to be twice divorced? This type of reaction from a mother is not logical nor does it really stem from love. It comes down to control. She’s pissed because she was not in control of her daughter’s decision. It also shows her immaturity. She’s a grandmother yet with all that age and life wisdom she can’t hold it together and keep whatever her feelings are private.

You must be not brought up in the Chinese culture. It is not about control. It is about respect. By not even letting her mother know before her public announcement, she has shown huge disrespect to her mother. Marriage is a big decision and she has treated her mother (& sister) no different from her fans, especially when they claimed to be close-knit and loving each other. No Chinese parents could condone this kind of treatment if they were not already estranged from the family. Even if her mother doesn’t approve of the new beau but if Barbie had given her the due respect of at least informing her first before the public announcement, she would not have reacted like this.
If you want to compare who has a lower level of maturity, then Barbie takes the cake.

The way I see it is that the mom came off somewhat of a racist because her daughter is marrying a Korean and not a Chinese man. Why is it a big deal this time around when Barbie didn’t say anything to her mom with her first marriage?

I was born in Viet Nam and grew up there until age 11. I understand her mother’s perspective. As I said, I don’t condone this sort of thing and would not do it myself. Just because Barbie was wrong but this does not make her mother right. Both can be wrong. Pertaining to Barbie’s situation, it is what it is. What is the point of the mother airing her grievances in public? It does not good to her daughter’s marriage. If they end up getting a divorce, will she feel happy that she “was right?” Will she be gleeful and post on social media that “I told them so?” If she feels disrespected that is a conversation to be had in private with all parties present. To retaliate a disrespect by throwing away all your self restraint to put your own daughter in a difficult situation with her husband, potentially setting fire to a breakup, is not something a mother should do. I’m speaking as a mom myself.

I agree! Both were in the wrong.

It’s not about chinese culture. This thing is a private matter that should be done in private. Even us as a normal person if we had some argument with our parents, it wont be told to outsiders.

Are you sure that her new husband is wealthy?

Is she close with her mother? She might’ve considered telling her, if they were actually close. If I were her, and I wasn’t close to my mother or knew my mother was going to overreact, I wouldn’t bother telling her before the deed was done. How nice of a person do you think her mother is, when she doesn’t hesitate exposing things like this to the media? She’s aware of her daughter’s line of work. Doesn’t she realize acting this way in public will affect her daughter’s public image? Is the mother afraid her daughter will run away after getting married and stop feeding her bank account?
Haha
Maybe she is not close with her mom, because her mom sounds like she has a bad attitude.
