Debates over Assets and Inheritance
On February 3rd (local time), Taiwanese media outlets, including ETtoday, reported that Barbie Hsu passed away at the age of 48 due to pneumonia complications from the flu. Her younger sister and broadcaster, Dee Hsu, later confirmed her sister’s death through a statement and expressed her condolences.
In particular, Dee Hsu stated, “During the Lunar New Year holiday, we went on a family trip to Japan, but my dearest and kind sister passed away due to pneumonia complications after contracting influenza”, adding, “I was happy to spend time together and care for each other. I will forever be grateful to my sister and miss her deeply,” expressing her profound sadness.
Meanwhile, Barbie Hsu had been actively supporting her husband Koo Jun-yup on stage and maintaining a healthy appearance until recently. In particular, she shared a photo celebrating the end of the year with Koo Jun-yup on December 31st, further shocking fans with her unexpected passing.
The sad news was delivered ahead of the couple’s 3rd wedding anniversary, evoking even deeper grievances.
With her death, the actress left behind two children, who she had with her ex-husband Wang Xiaofei. The kids are only 10 and 8 years old, raising attention on who will become their legal guardian and how custody will be determined moving forward, especially under Taiwanese law, which automatically grants custody rights to the surviving parent (who in this case, is Barbie Hsu’s ex-husband) after the death of the other.

After remarrying Koo Jun-yup, the family was often seen together, showing they had a warm family life. However, with this sudden tragic news, questions have arisen about the children’s future, and it is speculated that Wang Xiaofei, as their biological father, might take custody again.
Koo Jun-yup’s side has not yet made an official statement regarding the custody issue, and fans are leaving messages of comfort and condolences on his SNS.

Additionally, there have been discussions over the division of Barbie Hsu’s assets following her death, especially between her current husband (Koo Jun-yup) and former one (Wang Xiaofei). In fact, during her lifetime, Barbie Hsu amassed considerable wealth from real estate and various business ventures.
AdvertisementAccording to several sources, Wang Xiaofei claims that a portion of Barbie Hsu’s assets were acquired with his financial contributions during their marriage. These include real estate, bank accounts, and joint investments. Meanwhile, as Barbie Hsu’s legal husband at the time of her passing, Koo Jun-yup also has lawful inheritance rights to her estate.
Under Taiwanese law, a deceased person’s assets are distributed according to legal provisions or a will. Recently, shocking reports emerged claiming that Barbie Hsu had drafted a will last year. The will allegedly states that her entire estate will be inherited by her mother and two children. Many believe this document was prepared at a crucial time, potentially helping to resolve the ongoing inheritance disputes.
The topic of Barbie Hsu’s assets remains one of the top searches on China’s most popular SNS platform Weibo, but as of now, there has been no official confirmation or concrete evidence regarding the existence of Barbie Hsu’s will. If no will is found, her assets will be divided among her children and current husband in accordance with legal regulations.
However, legally speaking, the inheritance dispute between Barbie Hsu and her ex-husband Wang Xiaofei has yet to reach a conclusion.
The battle over Barbie Hsu’s estate could become a prolonged and intense legal conflict between the two men who once loved her. For now, fans continue to await official statements from her family and authorities regarding how the matter will be resolved.
On the other hand, Barbie Hsu was a beloved star not only in Taiwan but also in Korea, and the news of her passing has shocked both countries. Social media and online communities are flooded with reactions such as “I can’t believe it,” “It’s so sudden,” and “How sad must Koo Jun-yup be?”
