Netizens Worried About DJ Koo Following His Wife’s Passing
DJ KOO – Many netizens have expressed concern after noticing how much the South Korean DJ and music producer has changed since the death of his wife, Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu.
Barbie passed away on February 2, 2025, from pneumonia caused by the flu while vacationing with her family in Japan. She was 48. Since then, DJ Koo has been seen visiting her grave almost daily at Chin Pao San Cemetery in Taiwan. Witnesses said he often sits quietly beside her tomb, reading a book or looking at her photo on his tablet—even in extreme heat or heavy rain.
What worries netizens the most is his physical transformation. He has lost a significant amount of weight and appears tired and thin. Some people mentioned that they barely recognized him. His quiet and sorrowful demeanor has moved many fans, prompting hopes that he is receiving the care and emotional support he needs.
One fan, who personally saw the South Korean DJ at the cemetery, described him as looking very thin, adding that his sadness was visible just by looking at him. Another netizen shared that their daughter, who works at the cemetery, often sees DJ Koo visiting. Someone else also recounted that their father’s grave is located next to Barbie’s, and each time they visit, they always see DJ Koo there—even during rainy days.
These personal accounts have touched and saddened many people online. DJ Koo’s deep love for Barbie has inspired admiration, but his visible grief has also raised concern. Many believe that he is still deeply hurting and hope that he finds peace and receives the support he needs to heal.
Some news reports have also stated that DJ Koo is planning to move to a home near the cemetery, further showing the depth of his mourning.
