Singer Koo Joon-yeop built a memorial statue himself for his wife, the late Seo Hee-won.
On the 2nd, art director Lee Seung-do, who produced the statue of Koo Joon-yeop and the late Seo Hee-won, released a video containing the production process on Instagram, explaining, "This project is an installation art work that combines Seo Hee-won's figure formation and abstract objects."
"After months of repeated discussions and revisions in collaboration with Taiwan's top art production team, it was finally completed with stainless steel and brass casting. The total installation area is about 72㎡, and the main height of the sculpture is about 330cm.
In the video, Koo Jun-yeop said, "It's already been a year since Hee-won (Seo) left us. I made a sculpture in the hope that Hee-won would always stay with us. Hee-won always said to me, "I'm an alien from outer space." So I wanted to make Heewon's own Galaxy here," he said.
He said, "The nine cubes you see represent nine planets, including the sun. (Seo Hee-won) used to regard this number as his lucky number. The direction Hee-won is looking at now is 208 degrees south. There is Taipei there, and it is to make my family and me there look at it. The number 208 also means the wedding anniversary, Feb. 8."
On the first anniversary of Seo Hee-won's death, the unveiling ceremony of the statue produced by Koo Jun-yeop was held, and several acquaintances, including the family of the deceased, attended to deliver their condolences. Koo Joon-yeop shed tears, saying, "I would like to thank you as Hee-won's husband for coming so far today," adding, "I miss Hee-won."
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.
