Lie Sang-bong on DJ Koo: He is trying his hardest!

6 Feb - Korean fashion designer Lie Sang-bong recently gave an update on DJ Koo's condition following the death of his wife of more than two years, Barbie Hsu.

Lie, who posted the update on Instagram on 5 February, said that he contacted DJ Koo immediately following news of the passing, which he originally thought was a death hoax, and was told by DJ Koo later that night that he is "trying his hardest".

"I don't know how he will bear it. At this moment, I can't even say a decent word of comfort. I can only tell you, 'You must cheer up,'" he added.

In a previous report, singer Kim Song, the wife of Clon member Kang Won-rae, said that DJ Koo asked them to pray for his late wife to rest in peace, and that his last words to her was, "Hee-won (Barbie's Korean name) was Hee-won until the very end."
