It has been half a year since singer Hsieh Chun-wei suddenly passed away. During that time, the paths of two men who were connected to him have starkly contrasted, bringing both shock and emotion. The shock comes from his ex-husband Wang Su-bei (Wang Xiaopei), while the emotion belongs to Koo Jun-yeob.
Wang Su-bei, Hsieh Chun-wei's ex-husband, became embroiled in 'fake mourning' controversy due to his actions following the deceased's passing. Following Hsieh Chun-wei's death, he quickly returned home and in front of reporters, he clasped his hands and said, "Hsieh Chun-wei is my forever family," also revealing himself walking in the rain. However, his so-called 'mourning' soon revealed itself to be hypocrisy.
Wang Su-bei and his mother stirred public outrage by spreading false facts that Koo Jun-yeob had taken out a life insurance policy for Hsieh Chun-wei, and that the reason for wanting to keep Hsieh Chun-wei's ashes at home was that the ex-husband wanted her to continue paying off the mortgage on the house — absurd fake news. They even claimed, through Chinese influencers, that he had paid the costs for the charter flight to transport Hsieh Chun-wei's ashes to Taiwan, while his mother liked the posts. However, Hsieh Chun-wei's sister, Hsieh Chih-ching, expressed her anger at Wang Su-bei's false claims, stating, "Our family covered all the funeral expenses, including the charter flight."
Moreover, merely three months after Hsieh Chun-wei's death, on May 17, Wang Su-bei received cold stares from the public by holding an 'extravagant remarriage ceremony' with 18-year-younger influencer Ma Su-mei in Beijing, China. He hired a filming team of 200 and live-streamed a chef cooking while the bride's wedding dress featured 999 diamonds and had a veil length of 10 meters, leading him to face criticism for excessive extravagance. The sight of the couple's two children from their marriage attending the wedding sparked a chill among fans remembering the deceased.
In sharp contrast with the actions of Wang Su-bei, Koo Jun-yeob has shown extreme love and devotion. Almost half a year after his wife Hsieh Chun-wei passed away, Koo Jun-yeob has yet to recover from the deep shock and grief.
He has lost about 12 kg due to his sorrow, sheds tears every night, and continues to mourn deeply, visiting the cemetery where Hsieh Chun-wei's grave is located at Jinbao Mountain in Taiwan every day. His appearance, sunburned from spending time at the gravesite, stands as evidence of his 'extreme love.'
In fact, a Chinese internet user happened to encounter Koo Jun-yeob at the cemetery and expressed, "He seems to have the most extreme love of any man I've ever seen," deeply moved. Hsieh Chun-wei's mother also remarked, seeing Koo Jun-yeob guarding the grave daily, that her "heart aches so much" but added, "He is truly a loyal and warm-hearted person. If one meets such a person in life, there's nothing more to wish for — it's genuine love," praising his unwavering devotion.
Koo Jun-yeob is also participating in the production of a commemorative statue for his wife as a way to express his longing. This statue is expected to be completed for the first anniversary of Hsieh Chun-wei's passing. He has suspended all activities since his wife's death and remains in Taiwan to go through the relevant legal processes. Notably, Koo Jun-yeob has renounced his claim to Hsieh Chun-wei's 120 billion won inheritance, completely relinquishing his rights to his mother-in-law, and declared, "I intend to take legal measures to ensure that the rights of the children are protected until they become adults and to prevent bad people from taking advantage of them." This shows his dedicated love in protecting his wife's family.
While Wang Su-bei's actions, pursuing an extravagant remarriage amid 'fake mourning' controversies, incite public outrage, Koo Jun-yeob is serving as a reminder of the meaning of 'a love that even death cannot separate' while fulfilling his unwavering devotion to his wife and sense of responsibility to his family amidst sorrow.
