Taiwanese broadcaster Jia Ying-cheop, known to be close to Seo Hee-won, said on her SNS on the 3rd, "After hearing the news of Seo Hee-won's passing, I immediately took the Shinkansen and went there. As usual, you were peaceful and sleeping beautifully. No matter how much I cried, I couldn't wake you up. My heart ached, but I had no choice but to let you go." She continued, "In the end, my brother (Koo Jun-yeop) gave me a deep kiss and said goodbye forever. Our hearts were torn by the sound of his cries."

After that, Koo Jun-yeop and Seo Hee-won contacted each other after 20 years and eventually announced their marriage.

Seo Hee-won debuted in the group SOS with Seo Hee-jae in 1994, but changed the team name to ASOS due to a dispute with her agency and was active until 2003. In 2001, she gained popularity as the female protagonist Shan Cai in seasons 1 and 2 of the drama "Meteor Garden," which was called the Taiwanese version of "Boys Over Flowers." She also appeared in "A Chinese Ghost Story" (2003), "The Return of Superman" (2007), and the films "The Swordsman" (2010) and "The Great Warrior" (2014).

Seo Hee-won died of acute pneumonia while traveling in Japan on the 2nd. He was 48 years old. Seo Hee-won had a cold and asthma before traveling to Japan, and after arriving in Japan on January 29th, he was transferred to the emergency room on January 31st with cold symptoms. After that, he was diagnosed with the flu and his condition worsened to pneumonia, and he died.

In relation to this, Taiwanese media Now News reported on the 3rd (local time) that Seo Hee-won was transferred to the hospital four times before she passed away, reporting on the time just before her death. According to the report, the information was made public through the personal account of a Chinese netizen who claimed to be the guide who was in charge of Seo Hee-won's family tour of Japan.

In addition, Seo Hee-won arrived in Japan on January 29th, and at that time, she had cold symptoms. At that time, Seo Hee-won felt unwell and was taken to an ambulance on the night of January 31st, and returned in the middle of the night. Halfway through the trip, the whole family went to the hospital with Seo Hee-won, received a temporary checkup, and was diagnosed with the flu.

The hospital recommended that she go to a larger hospital, but Seo Hee-won took the prescribed medication and her condition improved, so she did not go back to the hospital for treatment. However, her condition worsened rapidly during the night, so she was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and passed away on the morning of the 2nd amidst tears from her entire family.
