Taiwanese actor Seo Hee-won received a lot of congratulations for announcing her marriage to Ku in 2022. In particular, the two were more cheered for their fate-like narrative, which they dated for a year in 1998, broke up due to opposition from their agency, and reunited after 20 years. However, not only Taiwanese fans but also domestic fans continued to mourn due to Seo Hee-won's sudden sad news.




However, even before the tears of Koo Joon-yeop and Seo Hee-won's family dried up, rumors and fake news related to Seo Hee-won's 120 billion-dollar legacy began to spread. In response, Koo Jun-yup "Now I am passing through a time of pain that seems to break my intestines in indescribable sadness and pain. I didn't have the strength to say anything and I didn't want to say anything," he said, expressing his grief. Then "But before the pain of great loss and the time of mourning had passed, the devil-like people began to criticize my family and my love."Some are walking around in the rain pretending to be sad, others are hurting my family by making fake news about insurance and expenses to scratch them``, he lashed out at Seo Hee-won's ex-husband and family. In particular, Koo Joon-yeop refuted the rumor, saying, "I will give all of Seo Hee-won's legacy to my mother-in-law."

Koo Joon-yeop's mother-in-law and Seo Hee-won's mother expressed her sorrow on the 11th, nine days after Seo Hee-won's death, by sharing singer Chun Sheng's song 「把悲傷留給 己」(I'll handle the sadness alone).
