A love that was waited for 23 years, finally ends in separation. We will summarize the movie-like love story of Goo Jun-yeop and Seo Hee-won, from their marriage to the last moments.

1. 1998, the fateful meeting of two people
The first time Koo Jun-yeop and Seo Hee-won met was in 1998.

Seo Hee-won said in an interview that she fell deeply for Goo Jun-yeop, saying, “It was love at first sight,” and the two began dating secretly.

However, at the time, Goo Jun-yeop's agency had a policy of prohibiting dating, and they ended up breaking up after a year.

2. Lost contact for 20 years
After the breakup, the two never contacted each other again.
Seo Hee-won became a top star in Asia by playing the role of 'San Cai' in the Taiwanese drama 'Meteor Garden'.
She married Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei in 2011 and they have a son and a daughter.

On the other hand , after finishing his singing career, Koo Jun-yeop switched to DJ and lived quietly in Korea.
So the two people ended up going completely different paths.

3. 2022, Dramatic Reunion & Marriage After 20 Years
Then, in 2021, Koo Jun-yeop heard the news that Seo Hee-won had divorced.

He said that he found Seo Hee-won's contact information without hesitation and sent her a DM directly .

"How are you? Do you remember me?"

Surprisingly, Seo Hee-won replied immediately, and the two started contacting each other again and confirmed their feelings.
So, after only three months, they decided to get married and Koo Jun-yeop went straight to Taiwan to complete the marriage registration.

4. Happy moments after marriage
After marriage, the couple lived together in Taiwan and often revealed their sweet relationship.
In particular, Goo Jun-yeop promised eternal love by tattooing Seo Hee-won's name on his arm.

Koo Jun-yeop continued his activities by traveling between Korea and Taiwan.

Seo Hee-won stopped acting to focus on her family, and the couple spent happy times together.

5. 2025, sudden separation… Seo Hee-won’s death

But all of a sudden, on February 2, 2025, while traveling in Japan
Their love ended in separation when Seo Hee-won died of pneumonia caused by influenza.

It is said that Goo Jun-yeop watched over Seo Hee-won until her end and sent her off with a deep kiss…

6. The issue of remaining assets and custody (ft. ex-husband Wang Xiaofei)

Seo Hee-won had a fortune worth hundreds of billions of won during her lifetime.

There is also the issue of custody of her two children (one son and one daughter) with her ex-husband Wang Xiaofei.

According to Taiwanese legal experts,
"If there is no will, there is a high possibility that Seo Hee-won's estate will be inherited in one-third each to her two children and Koo Jun-yeop."

However, if Wang Xiaofei gets custody, it is highly likely that he will also manage the children's inheritance.

Even after divorcing Seo Hee-won, Wang Xiaofei has been experiencing conflicts over child support and property disputes.
There is analysis that there is a high possibility that legal disputes will flare up again after this death.

7. A love that has been waited for 23 years ends in separation
The love story between Goo Jun-yeop and Seo Hee-won was more like a drama than a movie.
We met again as if by fate,

They had a happy married life, but in the end, their love ended in breakup.

So far , I have summarized the love story of two people who have waited for 23 years.
