Koo Jun-yup, who didn't register his marriage, is at a disadvantage... Seo Hee-won's ex-husband claims his wife for 120 billion won in inheritance



Taiwanese actor Seo Hee-won, wife of clone Koo Jun-yeop, has died. As a result, his ex-husband Wang So-bi is causing outrage for calling Seo Hee-won "wife".

On the 3rd, Wang So-so urgently entered Taiwan after learning of Seo Hee-won's death while traveling to Thailand with his mother, Jang Ran, and his current wife. Wang So-so changes her SNS account profile picture to a black background, and says a lot of good things about her at the Taiwan airport. We are a forever family." He also made gestures such as gathering his hands in front of reporters to ask for a favor and bowing 90 degrees to greet them.

Later, Wang So-bi appeared with Seo Hee-won in the video of 'Happiness Trio' in 2018, saying, `I miss my wife so much" left a comment. However, Seo Hee-won remarried Koo Joon-yeop, and Wang So-bi also has a new wife. Nevertheless, it was pointed out that calling Seo Hee-won 'wife' is not polite to Koo Joon-yeop and his current wife. Accordingly, Wang So-so wants to delete the comment and then "I want to see it. Too much," he wrote in the comments again.




In particular, there are speculations that Wang So-so has been harassing Seo Hee-won and Koo Jun-yeop by creating fake news such as affairs, abortions, and drugs after divorcing Seo Hee-won, so his condolences may not be pure intention. Wang So-bi changed her attitude for Seo Hee-won's legacy.

According to Taiwanese media, Seo Hee-won's legacy is estimated to be 600 million yuan (about 120 billion won). Seo Hee-won owned the site and penthouse of the Shinigu National Museum of Art in Taipei City, Taiwan. The site of the National Museum of Art is currently estimated at 44.38 million yuan (about 8.86 billion won) and the penthouse at 80.34 million yuan (about 16.04 billion won). Even a simple calculation is estimated to amount to about 25 billion won in real estate assets alone, and it is predicted that the amount of inheritance will reach 120 billion won when the assets divided by the divorce from Wang So-bi are combined.

If Seo Hee-won wrote a will, the legacy will be distributed according to the contents of the will. Without a will, Seo Hee-won's legacy should be shared by two children and his current husband, Koo Jun-yeop, by a third. However, Koo only registered his marriage in Korea, and not in Taiwan. As a result, it was speculated that Koo Joon-yeop was not even a biological father of children, so he could lose his inheritance or custody to Wang So-bi.




According to the Taiwan Law, if a parent with parental authority dies even after a parent divorces, the parental authority is automatically inherited to another parent. Even a will has no effect. Even if one of the parents agreed to exercise parental rights alone, parental rights are transferred to the surviving parents. As a result, the prevailing analysis is that two-thirds of Seo Hee-won's legacy may fall to Wang So-bi, the children's biological father.

In the midst of this, Wang So-bi and his mother Jang-ran, who have been spreading various rumors and repeatedly attacking people while fighting in court over custody and property division, suddenly changed their attitude for inheritance and parental rights.

Koo Joon-yeop and Seo Hee-won broke up in 1998 after dating for about a year. Since then, Seo Hee-won married Wang So-bi in 2011 and had one son and one daughter, but divorced in 2021. The two, who reunited when Koo Joon-yeop got in touch after learning about the divorce, got married in 2022.




Seo Hee-won died of acute pneumonia during a trip to Japan on the 2nd. He was 48. The bereaved families have completed cremation procedures in Japan, and Seo Hee-won's mother came to Taiwan on the 4th and is preparing for a farewell ceremony. Koo Jun-yeop and his sister-in-law Seo Hee-je will head to Taiwan on the 6th with Seo Hee-won's ashes in his arms.
