After bidding farewell to his beloved wife, Koo Jun-yeob's recent circumstances have been revealed, filling many hearts with sorrow. He visits his wife's grave, Seo Hee-won, every day, and his appearance, having lost more than 12 kg, has garnered a sympathetic response from netizens.
On the 12th, the late Seo Hee-won's mother shared on social media, "This year's Parents' Day is so sad," adding, "Son-in-law Koo Jun-yeob is missing Hee-won and is becoming more emaciated as days go by." The published family photo also showed Koo Jun-yeob gazing at the camera with a gaunt face and without a smile, stirring the hearts of viewers.
Seo Hee-won was urgently transported to the emergency room during a trip to Japan in February due to pneumonia caused by the flu, but ultimately could not recover and passed away. Following this, Koo Jun-yeob held the funeral at Jinbaoshan in Taiwan, personally carrying his wife's remains and tearfully seeing her off on her last journey.
Afterward, Koo Jun-yeob, who has halted all activities, has been living in sorrow, rarely revealing himself to the outside world. Recently, Taiwan media ETtoday reported that he visits his wife's grave at Geumbosan every day and has lost nearly 12 kg due to severe stress.
Taiwanese singer and actor Bai Bingbing, through an interview, noted, "I spoke with Seo Hee-won's mother, and hearing that Koo Jun-yeob visits the grave every day made my heart ache." She added, "Young people might still work, but I worry more about her mother."
Currently, Koo Jun-yeob has started the process of creating a commemorative statue in honor of Seo Hee-won with a close friend and has expressed that he will not return to Korea until the statue is completed. Reports suggest that he is also postponing meeting his family in Seoul until all tributes to his wife are finished.
Koo Jun-yeob's devoted love and deep mourning resonate with many fans, evoking both sadness and warmth. Netizens have also sent messages of support, saying, "The last romanticist of this era" and "That love is so deep it's heartbreaking."
