Cheating Claims, Heated Discord, and a Mattress That Went Up in Flames
So what’s the latest buzz? South Korean beat‑maker DJ Koo (Koo Jun‑yup) has just tossed out a post that feels like a backstage confession. He’s trying to clean up the mess around rumors that he was secretly hooking up with Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu in 2018 while she was still married.
He Caught the Spotlight, Not the Lady
In a quick Instagram story last Thursday night, DJ Koo slipped in a series of snaps from his 2018 trip to Taichung and Taipei. The kicker? None of the photos show Barbie. “Stop fake news,” the Korean maestro wrote in the caption, hoping to set the record straight.
Fast‑Track Wedding After a Long‑Running History
Barbie is 46, and it’s come to light that she divorced Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei (41) just a year ago. Without missing a beat, she checked out a new marriage to DJ Koo in March of this year. The two first dated some 20 years back, reconnected after the divorce, and fell in love over distance—she was in Taiwan, he was in South Korea. In a pandemic‑era reality, they didn’t even see each other before tying the knot.
Money, Rant, and a Mattress the Size of a Small House
Wang’s side of story got heated when Mirror Media ran a piece reporting that Barbie accused him of skirting a divorce deadline by not paying spousal maintenance. The couple’s children—a daughter (8) and a son (6)—are entangled in this financial case. She has sued for more than NT$5 million (≈$220 k) at the Taipei District Court, igniting a wave of social‑media fury.
What’s even more crazy is that Wang posted a bomb‑shell rant on Weibo. Within 12 hours, he tossed out 21 posts slammed Barbie and her sister Dee Hsu for drugs, denied the alleged secret date with DJ Koo, and bragged about a mattress that allegedly cost NT$10 million. The mattress became a symbol of their feuding.
Barbie fired back with a calm, almost poetic statement: “My sister and I do not use drugs, we’re bound by our hearts. She works only four days a week and lives with her in‑laws and children; she can’t drug. I’m law‑abiding, and Taiwan’s laws protect us.” She clarified that she “does not have the strength or desire to cheat” after a decade of marriage.
Wang’s Apology… Warmer Than a Sweater
Later that day, Wang posted a remorseful do‑not‑say‑anything button on Weibo, only to delete it. He wrote, “I don’t want to say anything anymore, burn the mattress. It’s all in the past; let’s not attack each other.” His burning mattress drama came to life on Wednesdays when Barbie delivered the expensive bed—phemically dubbed “bulky refuse”—to Taipei’s S Hotel, which she claimed was run by Wang.
The hotel, in a quirky “public witnessing” ceremony, invited Taiwanese media to see the mattresses’ ATHLETIC destruction. According to SETNews, the company had to bill NT$15,000 just to get that mattress out of the way.
Bottom line? In a whirlwind of social media, legal suits, and a melting mattress, Barbie Hsu’s clean‑court narrative and DJ Koo’s “stop fake news” post clash with Wang’s fiery defense. As the drama unfolds, it feels more like a theatrical production than a headline—just when you think you’ve seen all the twists, an additional plot twist comes in the form of a mattress turned into flaming glass. Stay tuned, folks—this story still has plenty of pages, and they’re all written in hot ink.
