Koo Jun-yeop confesses his feelings “Indescribable pain... The late Seo Hee-won‘s legacy to her mother-in-law and children” [Full text]

Singer Koo Jun-yeop confessed his feelings after losing his wife, the late Taiwanese actress Seo Hee-won.

The late Seo Hee-won passed away from pneumonia caused by the flu while traveling in Japan with her family during the Lunar New Year holiday on the 2nd. She was 48 years old. Since then, some netizens have raised suspicions about the cause of Seo Hee-won’s death and have even spread fake news mentioning the legacy left behind by Koo Jun-yeop.

In response, Koo Jun-yeop expressed his pain through his SNS on the night of the 6th, saying “Can‘t you please just stay still so that our Hee-won can rest in peace? I beg you, please”.

First, he said, “My angel returned to heaven on February 2, 2025. First, I would like to express my deep gratitude to all those who mourn Hee-won. Right now, I am going through a time of indescribable sorrow and pain, a time when my insides feel like they are going to burst. I don’t have the strength to say anything, and I don’t want to,” she confessed.

Koo Jun-yeop said, “However, even before the pain of great loss and the time of mourning had passed, devilish people began to slander our family and my love. Some pretend to be sad and walk around in the rain, while others try to hurt our family by creating fake news about insurance and expenses. It’s scary to think that there really are such bad people in the world.”

The “someone pretending to be sad and walking around in the rain” mentioned by Koo Jun-yeop seems to be referring to the late Seo Hee-won’s ex-husband and second-generation chaebol businessman Wang So-bi (Wang Xiaofei). On the 3rd, Wang So-bi, who returned to Taiwan in a hurry, walked for 30 minutes on a rainy night without an umbrella to the late Seo Hee-won’s mansion. After leaving without answering the reporters‘ questions, he suddenly reappeared and bowed, drawing attention.

Koo Jun-yeop also mentioned the late Seo Hee-won’s legacy. He said, “I will tell you about the precious legacy that Seo Hee-won left behind. All of that legacy was saved through the blood, sweat, and tears of Seo Hee-won while she was alive to protect her beloved family.” He explained, “I plan to give all authority over me to my mother-in-law. I plan to take legal action through a lawyer to protect the children until they become adults so that bad people cannot touch their authority.”

He said, “The time I spent with Seo Hee-won was a precious and valuable gift that I cannot trade for anything in the world. I think that the last thing I will do is to protect the family that Seo Hee-won loves the most. Lastly, I bow my head once again to everyone who loved and mourned our Hee-won. Hee-won‘s eternal love, Jun-jun.”

Meanwhile, Goo Jun-yeop and Seo Hee-won dated secretly for about a year in 1998 before breaking up. After that, Seo Hee-won married Chinese businesswoman Wang So-bi in 2011 and had a son and a daughter before divorcing in 2021. After hearing the news of Seo Hee-won’s divorce, Koo Jun-yeop contacted her again after decades, and they had a dramatic reunion and got married in 2022.



Full text of Koo Jun-yeop‘s letter

On February 2, 2025, my angel returned to heaven.
First, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the many people who mourned Hee-won.
I am currently going through a time of indescribable sorrow and pain that feels like my intestines are being torn apart.
I had no strength to say anything and did not want to say anything.
However, even before the pain of great loss and the time of mourning had passed, devilish people began to slander our family and my love.
Some people pretend to be sad and walk around in the rain, while others try to find fault with our family by creating fake news about insurance and expenses.
Really So these kind of bad people really exist in the world… I am even scared at the thought.
Can’t you please just stay still so that our Hee-won can rest in peace?
Please, I beg you.
And I will tell you about the precious legacy that Hee-won left behind.
All of that legacy was saved through Hee-won‘s hard work to protect his beloved family while he was alive, so I plan to give all authority over me to my mother-in-law.
I plan to take legal action through a lawyer to protect the children until they become adults so that bad people cannot touch their rights.
The time I spent with Hee-won was a precious and valuable gift that I cannot trade for anything in the world.
I think that protecting the family that Hee-won loves the most is the last thing I have to do.
Lastly, I bow my head and express my gratitude once again to everyone who loved and mourned our Hee-won so much.

- Jun-jun, Hee-won’s eternal love-
