Singer Koo Jun-yup’s mother-in-law Huang Chunmei, the mother of late Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu, has declared war against Barbie Hsu’s ex-husband, businessman Wang Xiaofei
According to Taiwanese media outlet ETtoday on February 13, Huang Chunmei spoke for the first time since Barbie Hsu‘s passing on February 10, expressing her emotions. She said “How can I fill the emptiness in my heart? I do not believe that justice cannot be restored. I will go to war. Please support me”, drawing attention. The media outlet interpreted this declaration as a direct proclamation of war against Wang Xiaofei and his family.
Fans rallied around Huang Chunmei, encouraging her by saying, “Let’s unite and seek justice for Barbie Hsu.”
According to the media, Wang Xiaofei returned to Beijing, China with his new wife on February 11, leaving behind the two children he had with Barbie Hsu in Taiwan. Reports also stated that he did not attend Barbie Hsu’s funeral.
As a result, the public criticized him, “Wang Xiaofei’s love drama is over.” On the night of his return to China on February 3, following the news of Barbie Hsu’s passing, Wang Xiaofei was spotted walking in the rain without an umbrella, seemingly putting on a show for the press. Additionally, false rumors spread that his mother had covered the funeral costs in Japan and the charter flight expenses for transportation to Taiwan.
Due to this controversy, Wang Xiaofei and his mother Zhang Lan had their Weibo and TikTok accounts permanently removed, facing an indefinite ban from Chinese social media.
Previously, a netizen exposed that Wang Xiaofei and Zhang Lan were in debt of 142 million USD and had set up a trust in Taiwan under a relative’s name to conceal and launder money, shocking the public.
Reports confirmed that Barbie Hsu owned at least two luxury properties: one near the National Museum and another in Xinyi, Taipei, with a combined estimated market value of 600 million NTD. Under Taiwanese civil law, upon Barbie Hsu’s passing, her two children are entitled to inherit two-thirds of her estate, with Wang Xiaofei as their legal guardian.
