Koo Jun Yup is taking charge in the drama surrounding Barbie Hsu’s tragic death, and it looks like he’s not backing down from a fight with her ex-husband, Wang Xiaofei.

On February 13th, Barbie Hsu's mother made a bold statement, declaring, "I believe justice can be achieved. I will go to the battlefield. Let’s unite and seek justice for Barbie Hsu." Her words seem to signal the beginning of a fierce battle against Wang Xiaofei’s family.

Following Barbie Hsu’s passing on February 2nd, Taiwanese law gave Wang Xiaofei custody of their two children.

But there are concerns that he may end up controlling two-thirds of Barbie Hsu’s estate, which is worth around 1.2 billion KRW.

With Wang Xiaofei and his wife, Jang Lan, in more than 2 billion KRW of debt, there are fears that this could negatively affect the children’s future and inheritance.

In response, Koo Jun Yup has decided to transfer his rights to Barbie Hsu’s estate to his mother-in-law. He’s also taking legal action to make sure no harmful individuals can approach the children until they are old enough to protect themselves.

Local media is reporting that a courtroom showdown between Koo Jun Yup and Wang Xiaofei seems unavoidable. Barbie Hsu had previously filed a lawsuit against Wang Xiaofei for failing to pay the alimony and living expenses he owed after their divorce.

Now that this lawsuit has been passed on to Koo Jun Yup and the children, it looks like it will continue in court. Despite Wang Xiaofei having custody of the children, Barbie Hsu’s mother could request the suspension of his parental rights, citing his violent behavior and poor character.

As if things weren’t complicated enough, Barbie Hsu’s mother is now joining forces with Koo Jun Yup to protect her grandchildren from harm.

After Barbie Hsu’s death, Wang Xiaofei made headlines for spreading false information, including claims of flying a private jet to bring her remains to Taiwan and staging photo ops with paparazzi.

These media stunts have backfired, and now, Wang Xiaofei is drawing even more public criticism. He and his wife returned to Beijing, China, on February 11th, while the two children remain in Taiwan.

In addition, Wang Xiaofei is expected to be absent from Barbie Hsu’s memorial service, which has only fueled the public's negative reaction.

Koo Jun Yup and Barbie Hsu briefly dated in 1998, but after Barbie Hsu’s divorce from Wang Xiaofei in 2021, she reunited with Koo Jun Yeop and they married in 2022.

Now, Koo Jun Yup is ready to fight for what he believes is right and make sure Barbie Hsu’s children are protected.
