Kang Won-rae of the group Clon offered words of comfort to his fellow member Koo Jun-yup, who lost his wife, the late Seo Hee-won.
On the 19th, Kang Won-rae posted on his SNS, “Don’t worry about those who talk behind your back. They do that because they are behind you.”
This appears to be a quote from Ukrainian boxer Vasyl Lomachenko, aimed at comforting Koo Jun-yup, who has been suffering from recent fake news.
Following the death of Seo Hee-won, rumors targeting Koo Jun-yup began to circulate online in the Chinese-speaking community. There were claims that Koo Jun-yup returned to Korea before the funeral procedures for the late Seo Hee-won were completed, as well as malicious rumors regarding her estate.
In response, Koo Jun-yup expressed his frustration on SNS, stating, “Before the immense pain of loss and mourning could pass, devilish people began to slander our family and my love,” and added, “Some pretend to be sad while wandering around in the rain, while others are creating fake news about insurance and costs to hurt our family.”
Singer Rain also expressed his support for Koo Jun-yup during his concert, saying, “I want to pray from afar. Please support and stand by Koo Jun-yup. He is the best senior, honest, and kind person.”
The late Seo Hee-won passed away from pneumonia during a trip to Japan on the 2nd.
