South Korean musician DJ Koo was reunited with his wife, Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu for the first time since more than 20 years.
Koo, whose real identity is Koo Junyup, was spotted leaving his quarantine hotel at midnight on March 20th by the Taiwanese media.
He was seen getting into a taxi with a white-shirted man. The taxi was then seen entering Hsu’s mansion, about 2km away from the hotel.
Under Taiwan’s Covid-19 rules, Koo will have to spend another seven days of self-health management at her home.
When asked by the Taiwanese media, Hsu’s manager declined to comment what the couple did when they met in person for the first time after so long.
Hsu, 45, and Koo, 52, shocked the Chinese-language entertainment industry on March 8 when they announced their surprise marriage on social media.
They had reportedly dated in secret for a year before breaking up in 1999 and did not see each other again until they reconnected after Hsu’s divorce from Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei, 40, in November last year.
They registered their marriage in South Korea. Hsu completed the documents in Taiwan, and sent them to Koo.
They had planned to file their marriage paperwork in Taiwan. Koo flew to Taipei on March 9, to begin his 10-day quarantine.
He shared on social networks snippets from his daily life in quarantine. For example, he posted a photo of his laptop.
Glimpsed in the photo was a Chinese-language textbook, which led the Taiwanese media to suggest that Koo was also brushing up on his Mandarin so that he could communicate better with Hsu’s family.
Koo also posted a video on social media to promote the new album of television host Dee Hsu, 43, Barbie Hsu’s younger sister.
The Hsu sisters once formed the pop duo ASOS. Barbie was called Big S and Dee Little S.
Dee Hsu seemed to appreciate her new brother-in-law’s efforts, posting a video of herself dancing early on Sunday to celebrate the end of his quarantine.
