Barbie Hsu laid to rest 41 days after her passing



17 Mar – More than a month following her passing, Barbie Hsu is finally laid to rest at the Chin Pao San Cemetery in Jinshan.

On 15 March, the Hsu family, including her mother, two children, sister Dee Hsu, as well as Barbie’s husband DJ Koo Jun-yup appeared at the cemetery to pay their final respects.

DJ Koo, who was dressed in black, appeared grief-stricken as he carried his wife’s ashes to the burial site, and was reportedly sobbing as he did so.

It was also revealed that Barbie’s ex-husband Wang Xiaofei was not invited to the ceremony.

It is noted that the family originally planned to hold a tree burial as a sign of respect for Barbie who had always been private. However, they decided on the cemetery at the request of DJ Koo, who wanted a place where he can visit her privately.

Sources also claimed that the Korean entertainer had been cooking Barbie’s favourite dishes every day prior to her final resting place, and would offer the dishes in front of the actress’ urn. He would also kneel down according to Korean funeral customs to express his gratitude.

Following the ceremony, Dee responded to Taiwanese media, saying, “Thank you for your concern. Everything went smoothly.”
