A year after her passing, late Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu was honored with a deeply personal tribute from her husband, South Korean singer Koo Jun-yup, who designed a memorial statue in her memory.
The sculpture, titled “Eternal Orbit of Hsi-Yuan,” was unveiled on Hsu’s first death anniversary at her resting place in New Taipei, Taiwan, during a ceremony on February 2, attended by the actress’ family and close friends.
The memorial statue was personally designed by Hsu’s husband, with the help of Taiwanese contemporary artist Chen-Dao Lee.
Lee later shared photos and videos of the sculpture’s production process on Instagram, offering a glimpse into the care and love poured into the artwork created in Hsu’s honor.
Koo was joined at the ceremony by those closest to the late actress, including Barbie’s mother Huang Chun-mei and sister Dee Hsu, as well as her former co-stars, Jerry Yan and Vic Chou.
Barbie, best known for her iconic role as Shan Cai in the iconic Taiwanese romantic drama “Meteor Garden”, passed away on February 2, 2025, at the age of 48 due to pneumonia.
