[TV Report = Reporter Han Su-ji] Singer Koo Jun-yeop's heartbreaking love left viewers in awe. KBS 2TV's 'Secret of a Celebrity Soldier', which aired on the 3rd, focused on the story of Koo Jun-yeop and Seo Hee-won, a couple who miraculously achieved a 'reunion with their first love', something that rarely happens in reality. MCs Lee Chan-won, Jang Do-yeon, and Lee Nak-jun, as well as Oh My Girl's Hyo-jung and lyricist Kim E-na, were present on this day's broadcast. The story began with the heyday of the ‘original Korean Wave’ clone that shook even Taiwan in the 1990s. Koo Jun-yeop and Seo Hee-won, who met for the first time on a Taiwanese entertainment show at the time, fell in love as if by fate, but had to break up after hitting a realistic wall. However, the relationship that was thought to be over began to move again 20 years later with a phone call. Seo Hee-won married Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei in 2011, but divorced in 2021. After hearing the news of divorce, Koo Jun-yeop mustered up the courage to contact him. Despite contacting each other for the first time in 20 years, Seo Hee-won received a call from Koo Jun-yeop as fate would have it, and afterward, news of his marriage to Seo Hee-won was posted on Koo Jun-yeop's SNS. Kim Ea-na was moved by the movie-like story, saying, “It felt like the emotions that had been stored in a vacuum for both of us exploded with a ‘pop’ sound.” As their story became known, the saying “If you want to be reunited with your first love, don’t change your phone number for 20 years” became popular in Taiwan. When the news of her remarriage came three months after her divorce, her ex-husband Wang Xiaofei started going crazy. Various rumors began pouring out, such as that Seo Hee-won and Koo Jun-yeop were having an affair and that they used drugs, and Seo Hee-won, who could no longer bear it, proved her innocence through the court and sued the fake news. Lee Chan-won, who heard this, became angry and said, “He had two children with Seo Hee-won... This is the height of disgust.” The marriage of two people called the love of the century. But happiness was too short-lived. Seo Hee-won, who was on a family trip to Japan in January last year, had a fever and was not feeling well, so she took a hot spring bath, but her symptoms got worse. The symptoms, which started with a mild fever, worsened into sepsis in just a few days, and he passed away on the fifth day of the trip. Lee Nak-jun, a writer for 'Severe Trauma Center' and an otolaryngologist, explained, "The first symptoms of many diseases are similar to colds. Seo Hee-won had an underlying heart disease. There is a high possibility that it will progress to pneumonia and suffer from complications. The problem for people with weak hearts is that when the lungs become inflamed, the lungs harden. The pressure in the pulmonary blood vessels increases and the burden on the heart increases, causing heart failure and pulmonary edema, which can worsen." In addition, Lee Nak-jun said, "The hospital said that the fever went down (after receiving antipyretics), but in the case of a chronic disease patient, a fever that has gone down can be a dangerous sign. A fever is evidence that the body is fighting. The fact that the fever has gone down may mean that the body surrendered and the body temperature dropped rather than that the fever was relieved." Many people were shocked by the news of Seo Hee-won's sudden death, and unresolved suspicions caused unconfirmed fake news to spread like a snowball. Even Wang Xiaofei's mother caused public outrage after it was revealed that she had tried to sell meal kits by taking advantage of Seo Hee-won's death. Lee Chan-won was very angry and said, “Aren’t you crazy?” To commemorate the first anniversary, the production team visited Jinbaoshan Cemetery in Taiwan, where Seo Hee-won was buried. Koo Jun-yeop prepared food every morning, visited Seo Hee-won's grave, had a meal, and spent time watching videos of the two from the past. On a day of heavy rain, when the production crew said, "I thought you wouldn't come out because it rained today," Koo Jun-yeop said, "You should come. Hee-won is probably lying there having a harder time than me," turning the studio into a sea of ​​tears. Jang Do-yeon sobbed as she relayed the current status of Koo Jun-yeop, whom she met with reporters at the scene. Jang Do-yeon said, "It is said that the only answer to all the questions was tears. I said I would not do an interview because I did not want to be seen like that. However, I said that I did not want the people who love Hee-won to forget her." The previous day, Koo Jun-yeop personally created a statue commemorating the first anniversary of Kim Hee-won's death. Jang Do-yeon expressed regret, saying, “The whole time I heard the story, I thought it was too harsh.” Reporter Han Su-ji hsj@tvreport.co.kr / Photo = KBS 2TV ‘Secret of a Celebrity Soldier’
