Taiwan's local media, including ET Today, reported on the 16th (local time) that Seo Hee-je, Koo Joon-yeop's sister-in-law and the younger brother of the late Seo Hee-won, will attend the 60th Geumjong Awards.
Seo Hee-je was nominated for the award-winning variety program host for the entertainment program 'Miss Not City' co-hosted by Patrick. In particular, 'Miss Not City' is a program of extraordinary significance to Seo Hee-je. When Seo Hee-je was having a hard time with a slump, he decided to appear on 'Miss Not City' with Seo Hee-won's encouragement. As such a program was nominated for the award ceremony, Seo Hee-je decided to attend her first public appearance since Seo Hee-won's death.
Seo Hee-je said "It's really touching. I want to tell my sister this good news. My sister recommended me to participate in the program, and the name of the program was also her idea. Regardless of the award, I hope my sister's creativity and encouragement will be remembered just by attending the ceremony."
Seo Hee-won broke up while dating Koo Jun-yeop in 1998, married Chinese businessman Wang So-bi and had one son and one daughter. Seo Hee-won and Wang So-bi divorced in 2021. Upon hearing the news, Koo Joon-yeop contacted Seo Hee-won's old number, and Koo and Seo Hee-won succeeded in a dramatic reunion. The two got married in 2022, and not only in Korea but also in Taiwan, they were enthusiastic, saying, `Taiwan son-in-law is here.' However, Seo Hee-won died of acute pneumonia during a trip to Japan in February. With this shock, Koo Jun-yeop lost more than 10 kilograms of weight, causing regret. Koo Jun-yeop is currently suspended from all activities and is sticking to making a statue commemorating Seo Hee-won. Almost every day, he visits Geumbosan Mountain, where his wife's ashes are laid, and spends time in mourning.
