• Gong Hyo Jin Claims Her Mother Insists On Never Getting Married

    While speculations have circulated that actress Gong Hyo Jin is about to marry singer Kevin Oh, who is ten years her junior, her comments from a year ago are being revisited.

    "My mum is against my marriage", Gong Hyo Jin revealed in April of last year on the entertainment program "House on Wheels".

    "My mum told me she wouldn't marry if she were me", the actress admitted. "You have job to do, and no one in your entire life could force you to retire", she remarked. "You have a lot of acquaintances who work in the same field as you, so why get married when you can live comfortably on your own?"

    Gong Hyo Jin also admitted that her mother never taught her to cook. "Don't learn how to make it", her mother told her when she asked about the recipe for braised beef short ribs. "You can have a happy life even if you don't know how".

    "Don't you feel lonely when you live alone?" Gong Hyo Jin was asked. "I enjoy being alone," she explained. "I'm living a life where I have complete freedom to do whatever I want. Of course, it's still nicer to come home with friends than to be alone".

    On April 1st, Gong Hyo Jin's agency Management SOOP confirmed the dating rumors of Gong Hyo Jin and Kevin Oh via Star News. "She is in a romantic connection with Kevin Oh," the agency stated. "They're dating nicely."

    Many netizens believe the couple is dating with the intention of marrying. This is because on the 31st of last month, Gong Hyo Jin received the bridal bouquet during the wedding of Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin.

    The couple is also expected to marry by the end of the year, according to reports.

    However, the agency stated, “It is difficult to confirm anything about marriage because this is the actress’s private life issue”.

  • Koo Jun Yup May Still Inherit the Late Barbie Hsu’s Massive Fortune Despite a Prenup—Here’s What Experts Say About It

    Koo Jun Yup has been caught up in a surprising turn of events regarding his late wife, Barbie Hsu. Reports have revealed that the couple signed a prenuptial agreement before their marriage, but it’s causing some drama after her sudden passing.

    On February 10, Taiwan's ETtoday reported that Koo Jun Yup and Barbie Hsu agreed to separate their property before tying the knot.

    In an unexpected move, Koo Jun Yup transferred a mansion worth 16 billion won, located near Taiwan’s National Art Museum, to Barbie Hsu’s mother.

    However, it turns out the prenuptial agreement was never notarized in court, leading experts to believe it could be invalidated. This means Koo Jun Yup might still have a claim to Barbie Hsu's substantial estate.

    The couple married in 2022, but their love story goes way back. They first dated in 1998, before reconnecting in 2021 after Koo Jun Yup reached out to Barbie following her divorce from Wang Xiaofei.

    Tragically, Barbie Hsu passed away unexpectedly on February 2 from acute pneumonia while on a trip to Japan.

    She left behind a massive estate worth about 250 billion KRW, including luxurious properties like an 88.6 billion KRW mansion on National Art Museum grounds and a 160.4 billion KRW penthouse. Barbie also had a steady annual income of at least 3.5 billion KRW.

    In the absence of a will, Koo Jun Yup and their two children would usually split Barbie Hsu’s fortune, each receiving one-third. However, Koo Jun Yup has stated that he will give up his share and pass it directly to his mother-in-law.

    He also vowed to take legal action to protect his children's inheritance, ensuring no "bad people" can get their hands on it until they’re old enough to manage it themselves.

    It’s a heartbreaking and complicated situation for Koo Jun Yup, who is navigating the aftermath of his wife’s untimely death while trying to secure his family’s future.
