South Korean singer Koo Jun-yup has paid tribute to his late wife Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu who died earlier this week, saying his "angel went back to heaven". In a post on Instagram, Koo added that he was going through "indescribable grief" and a time of "gut-wrenching pain".

South Korean musician DJ Koo’s remark about people “pretending to mourn while walking in the rain” is widely seen as a jab at his late wife Barbie Hsu’s ex-husband, Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei.

Barbie Hsu’s husband, DJ Koo, has broken his silence as he grieves his wife's untimely death. The South Korean rapper and former member of dance duo Clon posted a statement on Instagram in both Chinese and Korean. “My angel went back to heaven on February 2, 2025,” DJ Koo, whose real name is Koo Jun Yup said, according to a translation.
