• "I Lost Friends Over Money" – Hwasa Says a Firm No to Lending Money Transactions Among Friends

    On the show Dolsing For Man, Hwasa made it clear that she does not mix money with friendship.

    During the September 24th episode of SBS's Take Off Your Shoes: Dolsing For Man, guests included singers Kim Wan Sun, Kwon Eun Bi, and Hwasa.

    Kwon Eun Bi opened up about her worries, saying, "I've started receiving messages asking to borrow money." When asked how much, she replied, "It’s an amount I could definitely lend, but I feel like once I lend it, it will never end."

    Kim Wan Sun shared her own thoughts, saying, "I’ve had similar situations too. I have no intention of lending to close friends." She added, "Isn’t it said that the closer you are, the less you should lend money? I give with the mindset that I won't be getting it back."

    Kim Jun Ho joked, "I think Hwasa would explain it well and only give the essentials," but Hwasa quickly replied, "I outright refuse money transactions. I’ve lost friends over it, and I learned from that experience that it’s really not worth it. If it’s money I truly value, I would only lend what I can give without regret."

    Hwasa also made headlines earlier when she revealed that her copyright fees reached "almost billions" in a month during peak times.

  • 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.
