  • Taiwanese media reports claim that Koo Jun-yup has not abandoned the inheritance from his late wife, Hsu Chi-yuan.
  • Koo is reportedly seeking the portion of the inheritance designated for their children.
  • While he relinquished rights to the mansion they lived in, he is pursuing other aspects of the estate.

Koo Jun-yup, the South Korean singer and husband of the late Taiwanese actress Hsu Chi-yuan, has reportedly not renounced his wife's substantial inheritance, estimated at 120 billion Taiwanese dollars (approximately $3.7 million USD). Contrary to earlier reports suggesting he had given up the inheritance, Taiwanese media outlet Sanlih News Network claims Koo is actively pursuing the portion of the estate intended for his children. While he has indeed relinquished his claim to the mansion where he and Hsu Chi-yuan resided, he is understood to be taking legal steps to secure his children's inheritance. The situation arises following Hsu Chi-yuan's passing and the subsequent division of her assets. Koo's alleged pursuit of the inheritance is framed as an effort to provide for his children, who are the direct beneficiaries of Hsu Chi-yuan's estate. Further legal proceedings are expected next week as Koo Jun-yup reportedly moves forward with his claims.
