Singer Koo Jun-yeob bids farewell to his late wife, Seo Hee-won, after 20 years of reunion. In the midst of deep sorrow, all that was left for Koo Jun-yeob, who was suddenly forced to let go of his wife, was 'rumors.'

Seo Hee-won's burial site was determined a month after her death. On the 5th, local media in Taiwan reported that 'Koo Jun-yeob, the husband of the late Seo Hee-won, has decided to lay her to rest in Jinbao Mountain.' Koo Jun-yeob laid Seo Hee-won, his wife, to rest in the sky three years after their marriage.

The late Seo Hee-won died in a hospital in Tokyo, Japan, on the 2nd of last month. She had traveled to Japan with her family on January 29 and was transported to the emergency room on the third day due to health issues, but ultimately passed away due to pneumonia caused by the flu.

The sudden news shocked not only Koo Jun-yeob but also fans in Taiwan and domestically. The late Seo Hee-won announced her marriage to Koo Jun-yeob in March 2022. Koo Jun-yeob and Seo Hee-won were once lovers 20 years ago but had parted ways, and later reunited, ultimately tying the knot. At that time, Koo Jun-yeob reached out to reconnect after finding the contact information from 20 years ago upon hearing about Seo Hee-won's divorce.

After 20 years, Koo Jun-yeob and the late Seo Hee-won, who became a couple, were loved not only in South Korea but also in Taiwan. Koo Jun-yeob was also reportedly spending time with Seo Hee-won's children from her previous marriage with Wang Su-bi, as well as with family.

However, happiness was short-lived, and the aftermath was overwhelming. After the news of the late Seo Hee-won's death broke, Koo Jun-yeob fell into deep sorrow. However, before he could gather his emotions, he had to face numerous rumors. There were ongoing rumors surrounding the inheritance left by the late Seo Hee-won, with reports suggesting that her ex-husband was eyeing the inheritance, and Koo Jun-yeob's name was continually mentioned. Koo Jun-yeob was determined to protect the shares for his mother-in-law and the deceased's children.

Meanwhile, it was reported that Koo Jun-yeob had been keeping the remains at home for a month without deciding on a burial site for the late Seo Hee-won, leading to complaints from neighbors.

Additionally, on the 6th, multiple foreign media outlets, including Now News in Taiwan, highlighted the ownership issue of the luxurious mansion owned by the late Seo Hee-won, where Koo Jun-yeob and Seo Hee-won had lived together. The mansion is valued at 460 million Taiwan dollars (approximately 20.2 billion won), and a monthly mortgage payment of 1 million Taiwan dollars (approximately 43.95 million won) must be made. As the estate of the late Seo Hee-won is to be evenly inherited by Koo Jun-yeob and the two children, there is growing interest in who will bear the expenses.

According to reports, heirs must continue to pay the mortgage if they wish to keep the house, and if no one agrees to pay the housing mortgage, the house may be seized and auctioned by the bank. Currently, negotiations are said to be underway between Wang Su-bi and Koo Jun-yeob's attorney.

Thus, along with the sorrow of bidding farewell to the deceased, Koo Jun-yeob and the family members had to fight against the ongoing rumors. While it has been reported that the family has chosen Jinbao Mountain as the burial site for the late Seo Hee-won, fans hope that the deceased can rest in peace, free from various rumors.
