Widower visits Barbie Hsu’s grave every day


KOREAN DJ Koo Jun-yup is still mourning the passing of his wife, actress and singer Barbie Hsu, China Press reported.

He was seen visiting her grave every day, come rain or shine, in New Taipei.

One fan who visited the cemetery to place flowers on Hsu’s gravestone spotted Koo sitting there alone.

“I saw a man sitting in the middle of the cemetery. As I got closer, I saw that it was him,” the fan said.

In a photo uploaded by the fan, Koo is seen wearing a black tank top and baseball cap as he stares at Hsu’s gravestone. When the fan moved closer, Koo smiled and thanked them for coming.

The photo later went viral, with many Internet users calling Koo “the most devoted man on earth” and some saying that it moved them to tears.

“I hope he can recover from his heartache someday,” one netizen wrote.

It was reported that Hsu was married to Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei, but they divorced in November 2021 after 10 years of marriage.

Just four months after the divorce, Hsu shocked the public by marrying Koo, whom she had dated some two decades prior.

However, only three years after their marriage, Hsu died of pneumonia on Feb 2 this year during her Chinese New Year vacation with Koo in Japan.

> A woman in China’s Shanxi province sparked a discussion on domestic violence after she killed her boyfriend by smashing his head into a wall, Sin Chew Daily reported.

The woman, known only as Juan, had told the man, Qiang, that she wanted to break up, the Shanxi Higher People’s Court heard.

In a bid to salvage the relationship, Qiang began banging his head against the wall until it bled to garner Juan’s sympathy.

Juan then grabbed Qiang’s hair and slammed his head against the wall repeatedly before he collap­sed. Qiang succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

The court found Juan guilty of assault and sentenced her to 11 years in prison.
