Let's recap what has happened since in Barbie Hsu's life and what this new drama between the two is about.

And that's not the only remarkable event in the aftermath of the couple's separation. Just 3 months after the finalization of her divorce, Barbie Hsu got married again.

DJ Koo was born on 11 September 1969 in Seoul, South Korea. He is the second of two children.

DJ Koo first entered the entertainment industry by working as a backup dancer back in the 90s for Korean hip-hop Legend Hyun Jin-young, forming the group ‘Hyun Jin-young and Wawa’. DJ Koo was part of ‘Wawa’ – Hyun Jin-young’s exclusive dance team.

The three years in the hip hop band, DJ Koo left and formed a duo ‘Tak 2 Jun 2’ with music composer Lee Tak. The collaboration between the two did not last long as soon after, DJ Koo would go on to form ‘Clon’ with Kang Won-rae.

Forming ‘Clon’ was a great move for DJ Koo. The duo went on to be one of the greatest 90s dance music sensations in Korea and Taiwan. Some of the songs released under ‘Clon’ that made DJ Koo popular include ‘Are You Ready?’, ‘Everybody’, ‘La La La’ and ‘Funky Tonight’.

During the time of Clon’s hiatus from 2000 to 2005, DJ Koo went solo and produced music under his own name and current moniker. It was during this period that DJ Koo also tried his hand at acting and reality TV!

Barbie Hsu and DJ Koo’s love story started out 20 years ago when they first met in the 90s. He was even a guest star at one time on Barbie and Dee Hsu’s time on ‘100% Entertainment’!

From 8days, the two first met whilst DJ Koo was in Taiwan for a gig under ‘Clon’, and the two dated for a year in 1998.

Barbie Hsu was so enamoured with DJ Koo that at one point she mentioned that she wanted to marry him whilst the two were dating on-air in ‘100% Entertainment’! As the relationship was not openly admitted back then, many saw this as one of her many jokes and quips on TV.

8days reported that the love between the two was so intense that Barbie Hsu even got a tattoo on her ankle in DJ Koo’s name!

According to Newsfounded, DJ Koo’s then management disapproved of the relationship – saying that Clon would stand to lose fans if word of it managed to get out. With his career on the line, DJ Koo ended his one-year romance with Barbie Hsu.

Upon seeing the news of his old flame’s divorce on the media, DJ Koo thought to reach out to Barbie Hsu by digging up for her mobile number from back then. Channel News Asia reports that DJ Koo was relieved to see that her contact has not changed in the 20 years the two have been out of contact.

Since reconnecting on mobile and online, the two have decided to take their virtual courtship to the next level by deciding to die the knot after 3 months! The two shared the happy news on their respective Instagram pages on March 8 last year.

The news shocked not only the internet but also Barbie Hsu’s own mother! AsiaOne reports that the starlet’s mother only found out about the marriage through the tabloids and has come forth with her stance on the matter: That she does not approve of the union.

Despite her mother’s disapproval, Barbie Hsu has an unlikely ally when it comes to her second marriage – her ex Wang Xiaofei. The Star reported that Wang Xiaofei had wished his ex-wife happiness on her marriage on Weibo. We too wish her and DJ Koo all the best!

Just like Barbie Hsu, Wang Xiaofei has since moved on after the divorce and was linked with fellow recent divorcee, TVB actress Jacqueline Ch'ng back in April.

Despite his unlikely allyship and how the two have gone separate ways with new partners, Barbie Hsu has a new bone to pick with Wang Xiaofei in 2023 and he has a surprising new take on the matter, and towards his ex-wife.

From 8days, Wang Xiaofei appears to have violated a personal agreement with his ex-wife on May 15, 2023, when he uploaded media on Douyin revealing the identities of their two children.

It was understandable that Barbie Hsu and her fans were enraged as the ex-couple had a very publicised pact between the two to not reveal the identities of their two children to the public.

According to 8days, this is not Wang Xiaofei's first violation of the pact, as he previously revealed where his children were attending school when he uploaded images of them in their school uniforms.

Despite how the clips of his children has since been removed from his Douyin page, Barbie Hsu has publicly responded to Apple News that she will be continuing with taking legal action against her ex-husband for the infraction.

No stranger to livestreaming, Wang Xiaofei however let out several bombs when he was livestreaming on 9 October. According to AsiaOne, he had accused DJ Koo of abandoning Barbie Hsu, among other things.

The same report from AsiaOne continues that Wang Xiaofei accused DJ Koo of not living with Barbie Hsu, neglecting to care for her "ill health" and asserted that he wants to remarry his ex-wife in a surprising revelation.

According to a Yahoo report, Wang Xiaofei also addressed the ongoing legal case against him filed by Barbie Hsu. He claims that it was Barbie Hsu's lawyer that had been sowing discord between the two and affecting his chances with reconciling with his ex-wife.

Despite Wang Xiaofei's unexpected and public declaration of love, it is unclear how this will affect Barbie Hsu's relationship with DJ Koo. According to The Star, DJ Koo is currently in South Korea on business and will hold an art exhibit in late October to honour his wife. How romantic!
