Singer Koo Jun-yeop returned to Taiwan with the remains of his wife, Taiwanese actor Seo Hee-won, who suddenly passed away.

According to local media reports such as ET Today on the 6th, Koo Jun-yeop moved Seo Hee-won's ashes to Taiwan with his sister-in-law and broadcaster Seo Hee-je.

Seo Hee-won's younger brother Seo Hee-je said through the agency, "(Seo Hee-won) arrived home safely. Even at this moment, he believes that he is happy in heaven and without worry.'




Then "We are not going to proceed with Seo Hee-won's farewell ceremony"Because he has always been a humble man" If you want to see him, please keep it in your mind. All of my family members are grateful for their love for Seo Hee-won," he said.

Earlier, Taiwanese film producer Wang Wang-chung, who is close to Seo Hee-won's family, said in a statement on the 3rd, "At the request of Seo Hee-won's mother, I was asked to say a few words instead."The current family is deeply saddened by the death of Seo Hee-won and has asked for their understanding for not being able to explain the details of the situation." he said.

Seo Hee-won's mother then asked reporters to help her achieve her wishes in her lifetime. Seo Hee-won was always concerned about reporters chasing her. Since very dangerous situations can happen, I sincerely ask that your family refrain from chasing or chasing you at the airport or on the street when they return to Taiwan. This is a wish that Seo Hee-won has wanted all his life but has not achieved, and I hope everyone will be considerate."

Meanwhile, Seo Hee-won played the female protagonist Sanchai in the Taiwanese drama `Yuseong Hwawon" based on the Japanese cartoon 'Boys Over Flowers' in 2001, raising awareness across Asia beyond Taiwan. Later, he married Chinese businessman Wang So-bi in 2011 and had one son and one daughter, but divorced in 2021.

Since then, Seo Hee-won has made headlines by announcing her remarriage with Koo Joon-yeop in 2022. The two first met in 1998 and dated for about a year before breaking up, and then reunited after 23 years, drawing attention for their movie-like love story.

However, on the 2nd, ahead of the 3rd anniversary of her marriage, Seo Hee-won died of pneumonia caused by the flu during a family trip to Japan, causing great shock and regret.
