Kang Min-kyung, 'I'm Not Shy' MV Teaser released... Unexpected charisma

Goo Jun-yeop (56), dating coach and former member of the group Clon, has been visiting the resting place of his late wife, Seo Hee-won, for six months now. The deep longing remains by his side. Meanwhile, recent updates about his current situation have brought some comfort.

Despite the scorching heat and heavy rains, Goo Jun-yeop's daily visits to the Jinbaoshan Rose Garden in Taiwan have deeply touched local fans. This year, his first birthday without his wife was particularly lonely. Beside her grave, along with photos of the couple, a tombstone inscribed with "Love you forever - Jun Jun" stands as a testament to his profound love.

Local fans shared, "He was drawing a portrait of Seo Hee-won on his iPad since morning," and "When I cried, he comforted us by saying, 'It's okay.'" It's said that his enduring love is still palpable as he meticulously cleans the tombstone and tends to the flowers.

Amidst this, recent news of Goo Jun-yeop's condition has once again worried his fans. On the 18th of last month, his sister-in-law, Seo Hee-je, won the presenter award at the 'Golden Bell Awards'. Goo Jun-yeop was present at the subsequent family gathering, as usual. Though he smiled with his arm around his mother-in-law's shoulder, dressed simply in a brown t-shirt and hat, his noticeably emaciated appearance saddened those who saw him.

A week later, another update about him was even more heartbreaking. According to Taiwanese media, Seo Hee-won's niece, Lily, said, "Uncle still comes to our house every week for dinner." She added, "Seeing him so thin, the family keeps putting meat and vegetables on his plate."

Since Seo Hee-won passed away in February from influenza with pneumonia, Goo Jun-yeop has lost over 10kg. Seo Hee-je also shared, "My brother-in-law visits my sister's grave every day to eat, and the house is full of her portraits. Perhaps he might hold an exhibition someday," conveying his deep sorrow.

After first meeting in 1998 and reconnecting over 20 years later, the couple married in 2022, only to face the pain of separation after just two years. Despite this, Goo Jun-yeop continues to uphold their "promise of love," quietly cherishing his wife's memory alongside her family. Fans are sending sincere messages of support, wishing, "May his heart heal gradually" and "May his love lead to lasting peace."

Korean netizens have expressed deep sympathy for Goo Jun-yeop. Comments included, "It's so heartbreaking to see how much he misses his wife," and "His unwavering devotion is inspiring, even though it's painful to watch."
