Does Barbie Hsu's Statue Not Resemble Her? Netizens Dig Up 'Youthful Old Photos' as the Original

Barbie Hsu (Xu Xiyuan) passed away a year ago on the 2nd, and her Korean star husband DJ Koo designed a memorial statue for her, unveiled at Jinbaoshan Cemetery. The Hsu family also held a memorial service, where many relatives and friends gathered to recall her memories. Yu Meiren revealed that DJ Koo gave a speech wearing a jacket that Barbie gave him 27 years ago, calling out: “Xiyuan! I really miss you!” Many were moved to tears. The statue of Barbie returns to her youthful self, but some netizens questioned, “Why doesn’t it look like Barbie?” Some dug up old photos of a young Barbie for comparison and found a strong resemblance, exclaiming, “Barbie will always be the cute little girl in Oppa’s heart.”

DJ Koo previously shared his love story with Barbie on the Korean variety show 'Shoes Off, Single for Men 4' in April 2024. He talked about how they were forced apart by an agency ban on romance and how they always kept each other in their hearts. He couldn’t bear to throw away the coat Barbie gave him, and he still kept Barbie’s mirror. Seeing the baseball T-shirt Barbie often wore would remind him of her. Mango, Barbie’s favorite fruit, also became his favorite.

Regrettably, the pair reunited for only three short years before being parted by death. On the 2nd, DJ Koo once again wore the coat Barbie gave him, presenting the statue he created for her. He remembered Barbie often telling him that she was an alien from outer space, so he used the concept of the galaxy for the design, creating a galaxy just for Barbie. The nine cubes represent the nine major planets, and 9 was also Barbie’s lucky number. The statue gazes toward 208° South, which is the direction of Taipei, symbolizing that she is watching over her family. 208 also represents their wedding anniversary, allowing their love to continue spinning in her galaxy.

On the same day, someone spotted Wang Xiaofei with Yue’er and current wife Ma Xiaomei at the Malu Ji restaurant in Guangzhou. Others posted photos of the family, including Linlin, appearing on the streets of Guangzhou during the day. Last March, Barbie’s children were also absent at her burial, with Ma Xiaomei stating they were not informed by the Hsu family at that time.
