On February 6, DJ Koo (Koo Jun-yup) broke his silence four days after the passing of his wife, Barbie Hsu. In statements posted on social media in both Mandarin and Korean, he expressed immense grief, describing his pain as unbearable and beyond words. He also spoke about her estate, stating that he would relinquish his rights to Hsu’s mother and take legal measures to protect the children.
“On February 2, 2025, my angel returned to the sky,” he wrote, thanking those who sent condolences. He admitted struggling to find the strength to speak, saying that no words could fully capture his sorrow. “I don’t have the energy to say anything, and I don’t want to say anything.”
DJ Koo Condemns Malicious Rumors
During this time of mourning, DJ Koo said malicious rumors surfaced shortly after Barbie Hsu’s death. He called out certain individuals for criticizing their family and hurting the memory of his love. He also referenced “a person who pretended to be miserable and ran around in the rain,” which seems to allude to Barbie Hsu’s ex-husband, Wang Xiaofei, who was reportedly seen walking in the rain after news of her passing.
“Some people deliberately damaged the reputation of our family and spread fake news about insurance and money,” he added, condemning those who tried to exploit the tragedy.
Protecting Barbie Hsu’s Legacy and Family
Regarding Barbie Hsu’s hard-earned estate, DJ Koo stated that Xiyuan (Barbie) had always meant to protect her family. He declared, “I will give all my rights to Xiyuan’s mother. Regarding the children, I don’t want any evil person to come in contact with them. I will use lawyers and legal measures to help them grow up safely.”
DJ Koo reflected on their time together, calling it an irreplaceable and precious gift. He vowed to protect everything Barbie Hsu loved most, saying it was his final duty to her.
“Once again, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who mourns our Xiyuan. Xiyuan’s Eternal Love, Junjun.”

I hope we don’t hear too much drama about the kids. Xiao S also came out and clarified about chartered plane. Look like the Ex made it seems like he was the one that paid for it. Some people man.
HL
Oh my gosh, did the ex claim he paid for that?? This man is unbelievable. His mum is also a nasty person who posted some awful comments on day of her death which was removed when there was huge backlash.

what an upstanding man! not taking a cent from his wife’s belongings and using his resources to help her family. honestly I thought it was so generous of Barbie to leave half the will to her husband and the other half to her kids, but DJ Koo is even more generous. what an outstanding couple.
I won’t say anything about wang xiaofei as the rumors about chartering the plane and optics about that were all done by his mom and her godson (a nutcase in and of herself.) he’s def playing up the drama in light of his ex’s death, like who the heck films themselves running in the rain despondently as if it’s a TV show? whack in the head. but maybe a smidgen of him really could be sad. who knows.
HL
Agree..Jun is a truly outstanding man. He has my respect! I am sure Barbie knows he will do his best to protect her kids.

Yeah, I read the news about that. Must be one heck of a person for a husband that’s in mourning to release a statement about him. I hope the kids get to stay with Da S family.
boo
Lol. Wang Xiaofei is their biological father, so who do you think you are to use lawyers and legal means to separate them hmm? Wang Xiaofei has money to raise his biological children thank you very much, so he can raise them safely compared to you and their toxic maternal family. And where do you even get the money to pay for the lawyers hmm? You have no real job, and the money that you had during the marriage came from Wang Xiaofei’s money for his children.
Go back to Korea, find a real job, and spend the rest of your life caring for your mother, who had to care for you when you were so lazy back then.
Wang Xiaofei needs to get the custody for his children. He is their father, and has the right to do so. Otherwise the Hsu family will continue to use the children to extort money from him. DJ Koo claimed that Wang Xiaofei damaged the reputation of the Hsu family, but haven’t the Hsu family been doing the same thing to Wang Xiaofei and his mother too? Hypocrite.
Coralie
wang xiaofei’s mom and family did that all to themselves without any help from the Hsu family. who’s been in jail hmm? who’s godson is out there slinging lies about the plane hmm? who cheated and got his photos papped hmm.
clowns are a circus in and of themselves. dont need anyone to put more attention on them
Du
Unfortunately for poor kids their biological father is poor excuse for human being, all well documented in past few years by his own behaviour and his mother. I hope Barbie’s family will do everything in their power to protect children, Not all biological parents should be parents in real life. I always wondered how it was possible for someone like Barbie to end up with a person like her ex-husband who in the end cheated on her among all other things. She deserved better.

LOL. Unless you know the family personally, you’re just coming off as racist because a Taiwanese woman marry a Korean man.
HL
So funny…you must be Wang Xiaofei’s fan.
