• From Friend To Wife — The Story Of How DJ Koo Joon Yup Met Barbie Hsu And Eventually Married Her

    Koo Joon Yup, a "Clon" member who suddenly reported the marriage registration with Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu, confessed about his marriage.

    On March 8th, Koo Joon Yup said, "I met this healthy and tense young woman. We both became middle-aged and met again. I don't love her face, I love everything about her", he said in an interview with Atstar.

    Regarding his denial of dating in the past, he said, "At that time, celebrities' relationships were not welcomed. It was a time when it was active and popular for a long time, so the company also opposed it. In the end, I asked to break up first", adding, "I haven't met anyone better than her. Deep down in my heart, I had memories that she (Barbie Hsu) was a really good woman".

    He then continued, "When I heard her (Barbie Hsu) divorce, I felt strange. The moment I contacted her number 20 years ago and heard my voice to ask how she was doing, the flames of old love rose. For months, I made a huge video call to her. Let's get married. I committed it because I thought I didn't have much time to love in my life after I was over 50", adding, "I registered my marriage in Korea because I couldn't enter Taiwan without my family. When I left, I was quarantined in a hotel for 10 days. It is overwhelming to be under the same sky. I need to say hello to her family and get to know her children as soon as possible" he said in a romantic way.

    Earlier, Koo Joon Yup appeared on MBC's Radio Star, which aired in 2010, and told everyone about his relationship with popular Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu. He said, "Barbie Hsu got a tattoo on her body as a sign of affection. However, she misunderstood my names Koo Joon Yup's as 'gu', so she made the number 'gu'", suggesting that they had a deep relationship .

    Meanwhile, Koo Joon Yup formed a group "Clon" with Kang Won Rae in 1996 and rose to stardom. Since then, he has enjoyed great popularity not only in Korea but also in China. Currently, he is a DJ and painter.

    Barbie Hsu also made his face known to Korea in 2001 when she appeared in the Taiwanese version of "Boys Over Flowers". Since then, she has worked with Jung Woo Sung in the movie "Reign of Assassins".

  • Kwon Min Ah worries fans with emotional post about fear and self-blame: “Everything feels scary, I need to get it together”

    Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

    On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
    “I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

    Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

    Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

    People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

    Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

    Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

    Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
