According to multiple Taiwanese media outlets such as ET Today and TVBS on the 21st, Koo Jun-yeob has canceled a flash mob event scheduled in Taiwan this month.

He has also decided not to attend the medical beauty clinic opening event planned for March.

Koo Jun-yeob will indefinitely suspend public activities such as DJ shows, press conferences, and fan meetings. However, advertisements that have already been filmed will continue to run for the time being.

Local media reported, "At this point, we cannot know when Koo Jun-yeob will resume work," adding, "The sadness he feels from losing his wife is so great that healing his inner pain must come first before he can resume his activities."

Hsu Shi-yuan passed away on the 2nd due to influenza accompanied by pneumonia while on a family trip in Japan.

The late actress had visited the hospital four times before her death in Japan, but she missed the 'golden time' for treatment when the most crucial and limited period for saving a patient's life had passed.

Koo Jun-yeob and Hsu Shi-yuan's family attended to her during her final moments. After completing cremation procedures in Japan on the 3rd, they brought her remains back to Taiwan on the 5th.
