Taiwanese actress and singer Barbie Hsu has tragically passed away at the age of 48, just days before what would have been her third wedding anniversary. Hsu, best known for her role in the hit Taiwanese drama ' Meteor Garden ,' died due to complications from influenza. She married her former boyfriend, South Korean singer Koo Jun-yup (also known as DJ Koo), on February 8, 2022. The couple's love story spanned decades, beginning with a whirlwind romance in 1998 that ended abruptly in 1999.
At the time, their busy schedules and Koo's agency's no-dating rule were cited as reasons for the split. Fate brought them together again when Koo reached out to Hsu after learning about her divorce from Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei. They registered their marriage in South Korea in February 2022 and formalized their union in Taiwan the following month. Koo has publicly expressed his deep love for Hsu, referring to her as his anchor. In a heartfelt message to host Yoo Jae-suk, he said, 'Thank you for accepting me after 20 years. For the rest of our lives together, our days will be happy and healthy. I will be by your side, protecting you, loving you, cherishing you. I love you, Barbie.' Hsu, known for her optimistic outlook, shared a message on social media shortly after their marriage: 'Life is uncertain. I cherish the happiness I have in the present. I thank everything that has led me step by step to where I am now.' Her final Instagram post was on December 21, 2022, expressing support for Koo's performance at the KBS Song Festival. News of Hsu's passing began circulating on February 2, 2023. On February 3, her family confirmed the news through a statement released to Taiwanese media by the manager of her younger sister, TV host Dee Hsu. The statement read: 'Thanks for all the concern. Over the Chinese New Year period, our entire family travelled to Japan for a holiday, and my most beloved, kindest elder sister Barbie caught influenza-related pneumonia and has unfortunately left us. 'I am thankful to be her sister in this life, and grateful that we have taken care of each other and kept each other company all these years. I will always be thankful to her and remember her. Shan (Barbie Hsu’s nickname), rest in peace. We love you always. Together, remember forever.'
