  • 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.
