Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu has become the center of fake news even after her passing, and her younger sister Dee Hsu is not holding back against the false rumors.

On February 6, Taiwanese media reported that Barbie Hsu’s husband, DJ Koo Jun Yup, along with her family, returned to Taiwan from Japan on a private VistaJet flight.

While many expected them to arrive on February 6 carrying Hsu’s ashes, they actually returned a day earlier, on February 5, to avoid media attention.

However, shocking rumors started circulating on Weibo and other Chinese social media platforms, claiming that Hsu’s ex-husband, Wang Xiaofei, arranged the private jet and even covered the costs, allegedly spending around 400,000 yuan to transport her ashes with dignity. The reports suggested that Wang insisted her remains be treated with care instead of being sent as mere cargo.

Dee Hsu didn’t stay silent. Through her agency, she strongly denied these false claims, stating, "Our family handled all the funeral arrangements, including the private jet. I don’t understand why such rumors are spreading. The heavens see everything. My sister is watching from above—why do these rumors keep coming up?"

Things became even more controversial when it was discovered that the source of these rumors was allegedly linked to Wang Xiaofei’s family. This has fueled speculation that someone may be trying to rewrite the narrative about Barbie Hsu’s passing.

Barbie Hsu passed away suddenly on February 2 while traveling in Japan due to acute pneumonia at the age of 48. In accordance with Japanese laws, she was cremated locally, and her ashes were brought back to Taiwan on February 5 by DJ Koo Jun Yup. Her remains were taken straight to her home.

No funeral will be held in Taiwan, as her ashes will stay at her residence. Dee Hsu explained, "My sister has returned home safely. I believe she is now happy and at peace in heaven. She was a humble person, so there will be no farewell ceremony. If you miss her, please remember her in your heart."

With Barbie Hsu’s family shutting down the false rumors, many hope that she can finally rest in peace.

Hwanhee's agency, BT Entertainment, is firing back after serious fairness allegations were raised regarding the popular show ‘King of Singers Season 2’. They’ve denied all accusations and promised strong legal action for defamation.

On February 5th, the agency issued a statement through their official fan cafe, saying, “We want to correct the false claims.”

They explained that Hwanhee was initially approached to join the show in August 2024 by the production team. However, after checking with the event planning company, Dion Communication, they confirmed Hwanhee had no connection to the show or any related performances.

Despite this, the agency pointed out that certain media outlets published unverified articles, wrongly suggesting that Hwanhee’s involvement could compromise the fairness of the program.

BT Entertainment was quick to defend their artist, stressing the damage done to both Hwanhee's reputation and the agency itself due to these false claims. They added, "This has caused great harm to Hwanhee, who joined the program after careful consideration."

The statement didn’t stop there. BT Entertainment made it clear that they won’t stand for any further defamation. They said, “We are taking legal action against these baseless reports” and emphasized their commitment to protecting Hwanhee from any further harm.

They also reassured their fans, stating, “We will take swift action against any future misinformation to avoid any further harm to Hwanhee and his supporters.”

This controversy started after a media outlet raised concerns on January 23rd about Hwanhee’s participation in the show. The report claimed that BT Entertainment’s CEO, who is also a director at Dion Communication, had invested 1.1 billion KRW in the ‘King of Singers Season 2’ concert, leading to suspicions of favoritism towards certain contestants.

In the meantime, ‘King of Singers Season 2’ continues its intense competition, with Hwanhee making it to the semifinals. Fans are watching closely as he currently holds 1st place in the first round of the semifinals, cementing his position as a strong contender to represent Korea in the Korea-Japan King of Kings battle.
