Amid ongoing controversy surrounding the estate of the late Taiwanese actress Seo Hee-won, recent updates on her widower, Clon's Gu Jun-yeop, have been reported.

According to MHN Sports on the 20th, a close associate A who has maintained a relationship with Gu Jun-yeop for decades stated in an interview, "(Gu) Jun-yeop does not concern himself with this issue at all. Whatever others say..."

Recently, reports emerged from local Taiwanese media regarding disputes over the inheritance of the late Seo Hee-won's estate and alleged family conflicts. However, it is reported that Gu Jun-yeop has remained by her side without paying any attention to the estate matter.

Associate A also conveyed that Gu Jun-yeop continues to stay in Taiwan. He is spending quiet time with almost no contact with his Korean acquaintances. Associate A stated, "He rarely responds to calls from Korea," and added, "Even during a recent phone call, he was still by (Seo) Hee-won's side."

Regarding the recently raised allegations of conflict with her family members, Associate A denied them. "There is no problem with his family at all," he emphasized, adding, "In fact, they are getting along very well." He further noted, "His mother-in-law even prepares meals personally to take care of Jun-yeop."

Associate A also addressed the reason behind Gu Jun-yeop's move to a residence near the grave site. "The original burial site was too far," he explained, "It wasn't easy to commute two hours round trip daily, so he moved closer. It seems these circumstances were misunderstood, leading to various rumors."

Associate A said, "I don't ask him anything either. I believe it's right to wait until Jun-yeop sorts out his own feelings." He added, "Even those around him deliberately avoid bringing up Hee-won's name. Right now, simply spending time is what Jun-yeop needs most."

Regarding the inheritance controversy, Gu Jun-yeop has reportedly shown no significant reaction. Associate A stated, "He won't even express anything. That's just his nature. What matters most right now is Hee-won. He likely has no interest in other matters."

Associate A expressed regret over recent local Taiwanese reports. "There are truly no problems among the actual family members," he lamented, "It's only unfortunate that other stories keep emerging."

Meanwhile, Seo Hee-won married Chinese businessman Wang Xiao-fei in 2011 and had one son and one daughter before divorcing in 2021. She later reunited with Gu Jun-yeop after more than 20 years and remarried him in 2022. However, she passed away last February due to acute pneumonia caused by influenza during a trip to Japan.

Seo Hee-won is reported to have left an estate valued at approximately 120 billion won. The inheritance will be divided equally among her two children and Gu Jun-yeop, each receiving one-third. Her ex-husband Wang Xiao-fei has also applied to the court for the appointment of a special agent to protect his children's rights and is currently proceeding with estate division procedures.

Amid this situation, recent foreign media reports indicated that Gu Jun-yeop has not renounced his right to inherit Seo Hee-won's estate and plans to begin an inheritance mediation process attended by lawyers. According to these reports, Seo Hee-won's mother requested Gu Jun-yeop to sign a document renouncing his inheritance rights. In response to the request from Seo Hee-won's family, Gu Jun-yeop has left his previous residence and is now living in a rented home.
