Koo Jun-Yup Shields Late Wife Barbie Hsu's Cremation Urn With Umbrella In Front Of Press, Actress To Not Have Funeral

On February 6, South Korean musician Koo Jun-Yup, also known as DJ Koo, arrived in Taiwan, carrying the cremation urn of his late wife, renowned Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu. The singer, who had travelled from Japan’s Haneda Airport on a private flight, landed at Songshan Airport in Taipei at approximately 3 PM local time.

Koo Jun-Yup, who kept his face partially hidden under a hat and mask, could not conceal his grief as he stepped off the aircraft. According to a report by Allkpop, the moment became more poignant when he made a heartfelt request to the gathered media: “Please cover it with an umbrella so my wife won’t be startled.” In response, his team quickly used umbrellas to shield the urn from the press.

Here is a video of the incident:
