#SHOWBIZ: Husband of late actress Barbie Hsu said to visit her grave daily

TAIPEI: Nearly six months have passed since the untimely death of beloved Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu, yet her husband, South Korean musician Koo Jun-yup, famously known as DJ Koo, continues to mourn her deeply. Hsu, aged 48, passed away on Feb 2 in Japan due to complications from influenza, leaving a profound void in the lives of her loved ones. Since her passing, the 55-year-old DJ Koo has reportedly been a constant presence at her graveside in Chin Pao San Cemetery in Taipei. Rain or shine, he can often be found sitting silently for hours, a poignant testament to his enduring grief. A recent encounter at the cemetery underscored the depth of his devotion. On July 27, a netizen who had given a lift to a fan wishing to lay flowers at Hsu's grave spotted DJ Koo seated on a foldable chair amidst the tranquil surroundings. When approached, he offered a quiet smile and thanked them for visiting his late wife. The netizen, visibly moved by the encounter, later shared their feelings online: "He's the most devoted man I've ever seen. I hope he finds the strength to carry on. I felt sad seeing him like that. I can't imagine the pain of losing a loved one so suddenly." The post quickly went viral, eliciting an outpouring of sympathy and admiration from online users touched by DJ Koo's unwavering dedication. Comments flooded in, with one user saying, "When you find true love after a toxic marriage, you don't fear getting cheated on. You fear death." Another added, "He's clearly dedicated to her memory, and it's beautiful to see him honouring her this way." Barbie Hsu and DJ Koo's love story, spanning decades, is one of rekindled romance. They initially dated in 1998 but parted ways a year later. Their paths reconnected after Hsu's divorce from Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei in November 2021, leading to their marriage on Feb 8, 2022.

Jackson Wang Makes Historic Debut On Billboard 200 Albums Chart With 'MAGICMAN 2'

Global superstar Jackson Wang (王嘉爾/왕잭슨) continues to break records with his new album, 'MAGICMAN 2'. On top of becoming the talk of the town, the prequel to the singer's highly successful 'MAGICMAN' album had an impressive and historic debut week performance on the charts. Earlier this week, it was reported that 'MAGICMAN 2' landed on the Billboard 200 Albums chart at #13, making it the highest-charting debut album from a Chinese artist in the chart's history. Interestingly, Jackson broke his own record because 'MAGICMAN' debuted at #15 on the Billboard 200 when it was released back in 2022. With this new achievement, Jackson is the first Chinese artist to have two consecutive albums chart in the top 15 on Billboard. Additionally, in its first week, 'MAGICMAN 2' also landed at #4 in Top Album Sales, #3 in Vinyl Albums and #2 on Indie Store Album Sales. It also debuted on Spotify's Top 10 Albums in the United States and topped charts in multiple countries. Released on 18th July 2025, 'MAGICMAN 2' is the global icon's newest album and serves as Jackson's most personal and ambitious album to date. It's also the singer's first solo release after going on a year-long hiatus. The 11-track album is written and produced by Jackson himself, with the songs touching on a range of topics including the music industry, society, humanity, family, reality. The GOT7 member himself revealed that the lyrics derive straight from his personal journals, saying that writing the songs felt like a detox. Despite the risk of being vulnerable on record, the album received critical acclaim. Renowned radio host Zane Lowe spoke about the album, calling it 'universal humanity wrapped up in brilliant, modern pop music.' In commemoration of the new album, Jackson also held a fan signing in New York City with Barnes & Noble. Fans wrapped around several blocks, highlighting the musician's popularity. The popstar also dropped extensive interviews with some of the biggest publications in the world, reiterating his global influence. Additionally, his cover takeover across all of L'Officiel magazine's imprints in 10 regions marks the first time the magazine has done an international cover story of that scale. Despite the recent success of his new album, Jackson has no plans to slow down. Recently, rumours emerged that the singer may be going back on tour for 'MAGICMAN 2', sparking waves of interest amongst fans across the world. While we wait for the good news, check out Jackson's latest single, 'Made Me A Man', from his new album:

Actress Eleanor Lee wins lawsuit against former assistant who doctored her audio recording

China-based Eleanor Lee has won a lawsuit against a former assistant who edited an audio recording which got the Singaporean actress into hot water with Chinese netizens. The 25-year-old daughter of Taiwan-born Singapore host Quan Yifeng was in the news in May for allegedly making derogatory comments about the people of China, which she denied. On May 21, a netizen claiming to be her former assistant posted an apology on Chinese social media platform Weibo and admitted to posting the edited recording. On July 29, Lee's agency wrote on Weibo that it had received the Chinese court's Certificate of Judgment Enforcement, and attached the document. 'Eleanor Lee has always loved and respected Chinese culture and stood firm in her position,' the agency wrote. 'We firmly defend her legal rights and urge everyone to refrain from believing or spreading rumours, to jointly resist false information and build a clean cyberspace.' The agency also shared a post from Yang Shuguang, a senior partner from Hai Run Law Firm, who shared a legal statement on the progress of the case. The statement said the court had issued a ruling on June 23, with the ruling taking effect on July 17. It also noted that the false content posted online by the former assistant had damaged Lee's reputation, causing her mental distress and affecting her business activities. 'The court ordered the defendant to run a statement of apology to Eleanor Lee on the defendant's Weibo account for 60 consecutive days, and to pay damages to her for mental stress, legal costs and other financial losses,' said the statement. It also said the legal firm has identified several social media accounts which maliciously fabricated and spread false information, and stated that it will continue to monitor these users. 'If the relevant network users still fail to promptly delete the infringing content they have posted after the release of this statement, or continue to commit the infringing acts, our lawyers will promptly collect additional evidence and file a lawsuit in court with the client's authorisation.' The furore began when a netizen claiming to be Lee's former assistant released a poor-quality audio recording that lasted about 30 seconds on Weibo in April. In the recording, which features much background noise and some muffled words, a woman is heard saying she is 'doing this not for fame, but for money' and that 'most people in China are idiots'. The incident gained traction after the media in China and Taiwan reported on it in May. Lee has not updated her social media accounts since posting a video clip on May 21, in which she gave her side of the story. There is no word if her role in the upcoming Chinese period drama, The Journey Of Legend, will be affected by the saga. Shi Hang Law Firm, which is representing the producers of the show, said in a statement posted on Weibo on July 29 that it is planning to take legal action against certain online users who have been spreading false information and continuously posting defamatory content about the series. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
