Koo Jun-yup Mourns the Loss of His Wife, Taiwanese Actress Shih-Yuan Hsu

Koo Jun-yup is facing a profound loss following the passing of his wife, Taiwanese actress Shih-Yuan Hsu. As he navigates this difficult time, the entertainment industry is showing its support while patiently awaiting his return.

On March 15, local media outlets including ET Today reported that Shih-Yuan Hsu's funeral was held at Jinbaoshan in Taiwan. During the ceremony, Koo was seen tearfully carrying her urn, visibly affected by grief as he appeared significantly thinner, prompting concern among fans and onlookers.

Due to this tragic event, Koo has been unable to continue his regular activities. Reports indicate that he canceled a flash mob event scheduled for February and a beauty clinic opening in March, reflecting the emotional toll of his wife's death.

In a show of solidarity, Dr. Zhu Cheng-han, the director of the beauty clinic where Koo had previously canceled an event, expressed his support for the artist. He stated, "I have been a fan of Clon since childhood and was thrilled to work with Koo Jun-yup. This incident has hit him hard, and our brand will wait indefinitely for his return." He also reassured Koo that he need not worry about contractual obligations, as the clinic would cover all expenses, emphasizing their commitment to provide maximum support regardless of Koo's emotional state.

Fans have rallied around Koo, with many expressing their hopes for his recovery and urging him to take the time he needs to heal. Comments such as, "We are all rooting for you, Koo Jun-yup!" and "Wishing you strength to rise again from this pain" have flooded social media.

Shih-Yuan Hsu tragically passed away at the age of 48 due to complications from pneumonia caused by the flu while traveling in Japan with her family. The news was particularly heartbreaking as it came just before their third wedding anniversary. Koo Jun-yup shared his sorrow, stating, "My angel has returned to heaven," and described the indescribable pain he is experiencing, leading him to pause his professional activities.
