The two, who registered their marriage in Korea and Taiwan on February 8 and March 28, 2022 respectively, date back to the 1990s. The two met and dated in the late 1990s when Clon was active overseas, including in Taiwan, but broke up in 2000 due to concerns from those around them who were worried that their popularity would decline after the news of their relationship was revealed.
The two who had been living with each other‘s longing were reunited due to Xu Siyuan’s divorce. Xu Siyuan married Chinese food tycoon Wang Xiaofei (Wang Sobi) in 2011, but divorced in 2021. After hearing the news of the divorce, Koo Junyeop gained courage and contacted Xu Siyuan, and their relationship resumed.
However, due to COVID-19, the two who had only whispered sweet nothings over the phone decided to get married in accordance with Taiwan‘s regulations at the time, which allowed those with families to enter the country, and Koo Junyeop headed to Taiwan after registering his marriage and finally reunited. At the time, the scene of the two reuniting after 23 years was aired on a Taiwanese program, creating a huge buzz. The two, who promised to love each other forever, got ring-shaped tattoos on each other’s ring fingers instead of wedding rings.
After their marriage, Xu Siyuan‘s ex-husband constantly slandered them by spreading rumors about her health, infidelity, and discord, but each time, Koo Jun-yeop and Xu Siyuan showed their unwavering affection by posting affectionate images on SNS.
Xu Siyuan’s last post on SNS was also a video of Koo Jun-yeop‘s DJ performance with a heart emoticon. Koo Jun-yeop also showed his special feelings for his wife by posting a photo from a party with Xu Siyuan and his family on December 31st last year.
