The family shed tears several times during the unveiling ceremony of the statue on the first anniversary of the late Taiwanese actor Seo Hee-won, the wife of group clone Koo Jun-yeop.

On the 2nd (local time), a statue unveiling ceremony was held at the late Seo Hee-won's Jinbao Mountain Cemetery in Taiwan to commemorate the deceased.

The statue is known to have been designed by Koo Jun-yeop himself. The pedestal is made of marble, and the path from the park to the statue consists of nine white stairs arranged in the form of an S symbolizing the "S" and the number "9." Earlier, Seo Hee-won tattooed the number "9" on her ankle because "9" had the same pronunciation as Koo Jun-yeop's adult "Gu."

Seo Hee-won's mother, who saw the statue, hugged the statue in tears, followed by her son-in-law, Koo Jun-yeop. Seo Hee-je also shed tears next to him, moving him.

On this day, Seo Hee-je, the sister of the deceased, said, "I would like to thank my brother-in-law, Koo Jun-yeop, for making such a beautiful statue for my sister. I hope people who loved her will come here when they miss her and see the statue and talk about it," he said.

"Thank you to all my relatives and friends who came to offer flowers to my sister despite the rain today. If the weather had been clear today, I would not have been like an older sister," he said. Joo Min (Zhou Yu-min) and Un Seung-wook (Yen Cheng-shi), who worked together in the drama "Yuseong Hwawon," as well as Kang Won-rae of Clones and Choi Si-won of Super Junior, attended the scene.

Seo Hee-je expressed his gratitude to his brother-in-law, Koo Jun-yeop, who had been by the side of the deceased all year, saying, "He protected my sister with a pure, simple, and flawless heart. Just thinking like this calms me down. So I'm truly grateful to my brother-in-law, he said. "My mother saw the statue (designed by my brother-in-law) today and said, 'Baby, you're reborn!'" I believe the emptiness in my mother's heart has been filled today," he said.

Meanwhile, Seo Hee-won died of pneumonia and sepsis caused by the flu while traveling to Japan with her family in February. Seo Hee-won and Koo Jun-yeop met in 1998 and dated for a year before breaking up. Seo Hee-won later married Wang Xiaofei and had one son and one daughter, but divorced in 2021. He reunited with Koo Jun-yeop after more than 20 years and became an official couple in 2022.
