Koo Jun-yeob, who stopped all activities following the news of his wife, the late Seohuiwon, is staying in Taiwan and visiting her grave every day without fail. While he grieves her loss to the extent of losing 12 kg and abstaining from food and drink, reports of his ex-husband Wang Xiaopei's (Wang Subi) family's 'doing well and living well' have drawn disapproving looks from the public.
Recently, according to local Chinese media, Wang Xiaopei appeared at a high-end shopping mall in Beijing called Guomao with his two children, new wife Mashaomei, and mother Zhang Lan. In the released photos, Wang Xiaopei affectionately held the hand of his daughter, Xiaoyue'er, while Mashaomei walked side by side with their son, Xiaolinlin, presenting an image of a 'perfect family.' Zhang Lan, dressed in a luxurious white suit and holding a designer bag, was seen enjoying a 'family outing' with her grandchildren, exchanging smiles.
Moreover, in May alone, Wang Xiaopei married influencer Mashaomei, who is 18 years younger, only three months after the death of his former wife, the late Seohuiwon. Notably, the bride's wedding dress was adorned with 999 diamonds, and the wedding was at the center of controversy for featuring a 200-person filming crew and a live, chef-prepared meal, dubbed a 'lavish wedding.'
Furthermore, Wang Xiaopei had completed his marriage registration as early as May last year and went ahead with the wedding as planned even after Seohuiwon passed away. At the time, the public criticized him, stating that there was 'no minimum courtesy' to his former wife, and expressed outrage over the recent 'family shopping outing,' questioning whether he was ignoring the family's grief.
On the other hand, Koo Jun-yeob, a former member of the group Clon, has remained in Taiwan and completely halted his activities since the death of the late Seohuiwon. According to Taiwanese media ET Today, he visits her grave daily, enduring his grief, to the extent that his face has darkened significantly from spending so much time there. The late Seohuiwon's mother, Huang Chunmei, stated, "The statue designed by Koo Jun-yeob himself is set to be completed by the first anniversary next year," and added tearfully, "His dedication and love cannot be fully expressed in words. He is a true man of loyalty."
Additionally, Koo Jun-yeob has lost nearly 12 kg, and even his acquaintances have been left speechless by his gaunt appearance. Seohuiwon's younger sister, Seohuije, also shared, "My sister was always on my side. I still want to be embraced by her," emphasizing that the entire family remains in deep sorrow.
The late Seohuiwon was blessed by the public when she announced her remarriage to Koo Jun-yeob after reuniting, 20 years after their separation, in 2022. However, just before their third wedding anniversary, she suddenly passed away from pneumonia caused by the flu while on a trip to Japan last February. The bereaved family has laid her to rest at Jinbaoshan in Taiwan, and Koo Jun-yeob continues to vigilantly guard that spot.
One side visits the grave daily, growing dark and increasingly thin while mourning his wife, while the other side indulges in luxury shopping following a lavish wedding with children. The contrasting situations of the two men evoke a profound sense of bittersweet anger among many.
