Amid rumors that singer Koo Jun-yeob and the family of the late Seohee-won were disputing over an inheritance, Seohee-won's family expressed anger and dismissed the rumors.
On the 10th, Taiwan media ETtoday reported that a weekly magazine recently claimed Seohee-won's mother and Koo Jun-yeob were engaged in a fierce standoff over Seohee-won's inheritance and that both sides were legally preparing their own countermeasures.
But in response to such reports, Seohee-won's younger sibling Seohee-je angrily refuted the related content, and Seohee-won's mother also directly denied the speculation that she was preparing a lawsuit against Koo Jun-yeob.
Seohee-won's mother said, "I hate lawsuits that make people suffer and only waste money. Thank you," and added that she already regards Koo Jun-yeob as a son.
The mother emphasized, "I now call Koo Jun-yeob 'my son.' He is my son. As much as he loved Seohee-won and respected me, I also love him."
Seohee-je also expressed displeasure through a manager, saying, "People who spread these kinds of rumors truly have impure intentions and very dirty hearts."
He said, "Brother-in-law Koo Jun-yeob gave our sister the purest love and made it possible for her to experience true happiness. We will be forever grateful to him. He is part of our family, and we will only protect him and never hurt him. Please let these rumors stop here."
Earlier, Koo Jun-yeob said, "All the inheritance was painstakingly gathered by Seohee-won in life to protect the family she loved, so I intend to give all authority regarding it to mother-in-law."
Meanwhile, the late Seohee-won suddenly passed away from acute pneumonia on Feb. 2 last year while traveling in Japan. She was 48. After Seohee-won passed away, Koo Jun-yeob visited Jinbaoshan, where the deceased rested, every day to tend the gravesite, and on the 2nd he held an unveiling ceremony for a memorial sculpture he personally designed on Seohee-won's first death anniversary.
