Trung KhoaAccording to Chinese media, Koo Jun Yup is believed to have joined a trip to Japan with Tieu Hu Vi and her two children during the Lunar New Year. On January 29, the family set off for Japan for a vacation. On February 2, Tieu Hy Vi passed away at a hospital in Japan, and on February 3, close relatives of the actress confirmed this to the public.
From the evening of February 3, Koo Jun Yup was reported to be out of contact with friends and family, causing concern. Friends of the male DJ said that the sudden event made Koo Jun Yup collapse in sorrow.
"In Taiwan (China), he only had Tieu Hy Vi as his spiritual support," a friend of the couple revealed.
After his wife's passing, Koo Jun Yup did not make any official comments. On February 3, he only responded to Korean media, saying, "I'm really not okay" when asked about his wife's sudden departure.
Friends of the male singer said that they continue to chat and encourage him every day.
On February 5, Lee Sang Bong, a famous fashion designer from South Korea, revealed his conversation with Koo Jun Yup. Lee sent a message to Koo Jun Yup on February 3, but it took over half a day for the male singer to respond.
In response to the concern of friends, Tieu Hy Vi's husband said that he did not want to reply to messages because it was late at night. He also told his friend, "I tried my best" when receiving words of encouragement.
Lee admitted to being very worried about Jun Yup because the male singer has a weak personality and cannot bear the pain of losing his wife.
"He might be going crazy. When I think about the pain he will have to endure in the future, I worry about Jun Yup's fragile and weak personality," Lee said.
Lee also added that the South Korean singer had tried to take his wife for a check-up and care for Hy Vi during her illness in Japan, but the unfortunate incident still occurred.
Gia Vinh Kiet, a friend of Tieu Hy Vi, told Taiwanese media that Koo Jun Yup nearly collapsed, crying as he tried to wake his beloved wife. She revealed that Koo Jun Yup kept calling "Hy Vi" in the final moments. Eventually, he accepted to let go and bid his wife farewell.
Prior to this, Koo Jun Yup always stayed by his wife's side and witnessed the entire process of her passing. According to Chinese media, the male singer will bring his wife's remains back to Taiwan on February 6.
Currently, Jun Yup's Instagram account has received a lot of encouragement from fans in South Korea and China. Users wrote: "Thank you for finding her," "Thank you for being by her side until the last moment,"...
Jun Yup's pain increased as Tieu Hy Vi passed away before the couple's 3-year wedding anniversary. Their love story was seen as a romantic movie in real life.
Koo Jun Yup is Tieu Hy Vi's second husband. They dated in 1998 but later broke up because Koo Jun Yup focused on his career. During those years, Tieu Hy Vi got married while Koo Jun Yup remained single for many years.
In 2022, they rekindled their relationship after nearly 24 years apart. In a show, the male singer revealed that after hearing of Tieu Hy Vi's divorce from Wang Xiao Fei, he found her old phone number and tried calling. Surprisingly, the phone number was still the same, and the two reconnected.
Less than 4 months after divorcing Wang Xiao Fei, the beautiful actress from the "Meteor Garden" and Koo Jun Yup got married. They registered their marriage in South Korea in February 2022 and held a private wedding ceremony in Taiwan in April 2022.
Becoming Tieu Hy Vi's husband boosted Jun Yup's entertainment career in Taiwan, as he was invited to many events and entertainment shows.
Tieu Hy Vi praised Koo Jun Yup many times, calling him a gentle, kind man who made her feel safe.
During their 3-year marriage, Jun Yup was considered to be inferior to his wife in terms of fame and financial status. He was also mocked by Wang Xiao Fei for being an opportunist who took advantage of Tieu Hy Vi's fame and financial support for his ex-wife and two children.
In response to South Korean media, Jun Yup once spoke about his relationship with Tieu Hy Vi: "I want to continue the love with the woman I loved 20 years ago. I am very grateful that after 20 years, she accepted me once again.
My goal is to spend the rest of my life with her, ensuring that she is always happy, healthy, and loved. I will always accompany my woman, cherishing every moment. Together, I hope we can live a happy life."
To commemorate their love, Tieu Hy Vi and Koo Jun Yup also have matching tattoos. Tieu Hy Vi's last post on her social media account was a statement of support for her husband.
Last December, the beautiful actress shared a video of her husband performing at a KBS show (South Korea) with the words: "CLON (Koo Jun Yup's former band) is forever. DJ Koo (Koo Jun Yup) is truly amazing."
Not only Jun Yup, but Tieu Hy Vi's younger sister and mother also cried, completely collapsing when the doctor announced that Tieu Hy Vi's emergency treatment was not effective.
Tieu Hy Vi's mother raised three daughters on her own for many years. She always told friends that Tieu Hy Vi was the daughter she worried about the most. Now, Mai collapsed when her daughter passed away.
MC Tieu Hy Dinh (Tieu Hy Vi's younger sister) announced that the Tieu family's schedule will be kept private and hoped that the media would show restraint and not disturb the family at this time.
