Kang Won-rae wishes Jun-yeop a very happy birthday on September 11, 1969. Let's see each other again in a bright way," he said, celebrating Koo Jun-yeop's birthday. The photos released together showed Kang Won-rae, Koo Joon-yeop, and Kim Song's early debut. Kang Won-rae and Koo Jun-yeop formed a clone in 1996 and have been together for 30 years.

Koo Joon-yeop, who celebrated his birthday on the 11th, reportedly visited Seo Hee-won's grave every day until recently.




Koo Joon-yeop received a lot of congratulations for announcing his marriage to Taiwanese actor Seo Hee-won 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, Seo Hee-won suddenly died of acute pneumonia caused by the flu while traveling to Japan with her family in February.

After Seo Hee-won's departure, Koo Jun-yeop "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 sorrow. Since then, Koo Joon-yeop has reportedly visited Seo Hee-won's graveyard buried in Rose Garden, located in Geumbosan, Shinbei, Taiwan, every day for half a year.




Kang Won-rae is also likely to cry a lot when he meets Jun-yeop. I hope you take good care of your health,' he said, mourning Seo Hee-won and consoling Koo Jun-yeop. At the same time, Kang Won-rae released a message he shared with Koo Jun-yeop, and Koo Jun-yeop responded to Kang Won-rae's comfort, "Take care of your mind and take care of your health." I'll endure it well. I think I'll cry if I talk on the phone, so I'll send you a Kakao Talk message."
