Taiwan's ET Today reported on the 12th that the key person in the problem that is difficult to solve after Seo Hee-won's death is Seo Hee-won's mother.
Seo Hee-won died of acute pneumonia during a trip to Japan on the 2nd. He was 48. According to the Taiwan Law, if one of the parents dies after a divorce, parental rights are automatically inherited to the surviving parents. As a result, the legal representative of Seo Hee-won's two children became his ex-husband, Wang So-bi.
According to the media, in order to fight over custody of the two children, Seo Hee-won's mother may file an application with the court to suspend the parental rights of the two children until they become adults, based on Wang's actions and circumstances," he said.
If Seo Hee-won did not leave his will, Seo Hee-won's legacy of 120 billion won will be shared by Koo Joon-yeop and his two children by a third each. Koo has already declared that he will hand over his right to inheritance to his mother-in-law and take legal action to prevent bad people from accessing children's property and rights. However, since Wang So-so is the legal representative of his two children, it remains to be seen how he and Koo will agree on the division of their assets. Moreover, local media analyzed that Wang So-so and his mother Jang-ran are known to be in debt of more than 200 billion won, which will inevitably lead to an inheritance dispute.

Local media reported "Seo Hee-won's mother may cooperate with Wang So-bi to allow her children to continue to stay in Taiwan, study and grow, and also have the right to request Wang So-bi's suspension of parental rights until her children reach adulthood. However, even if Wang So-bi's parental rights are suspended, legal battles can continue because Wang So-bi has the right to ask the court to restore parental rights.'
Judging from local media reports, it is believed that Koo Joon-yeop handed over his inheritance to his mother-in-law to prepare for the predicted legal battle with Wang So-bi and protect the children's future.
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 due to Wang So-bi's affair and domestic violence. Upon hearing the news of Seo Hee-won's divorce, Koo Joon-yeop contacted Seo Hee-won's number, which he had kept more than 20 years ago, and reunited as he contacted her like fate. The two got married in 2022.
