[TV Report = Reporter Han Su-ji] Singer Lee Chan-won was angry at the rudeness of Seo Hee-won's ex-husband, Wang Xiaofei. 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. Koo Jun-yeop, a clone member of the ‘original Korean wave’ that shook Taiwan in the 1990s, met Seo Hee-won for the first time on a Taiwanese entertainment show at the time and fell in love as if by fate. The two had to break up after hitting a realistic wall, but the relationship that was thought to be over started moving again 20 years later with a phone call. After hearing the news of Seo Hee-won's divorce, Koo Jun-yeop mustered up the courage to contact her. Seo Hee-won married Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei in 2011, but divorced in 2021. Even after 20 years of contact, Seo Hee-won received a call from Koo Jun-yeop as if it were fate. Hyojeong was excited about this movie-like story, saying, “I feel like my heart will jump out.” On the other hand, Kim Eana made people laugh with her honest answer, saying, “(If I had answered that phone call) I would have said I would ask for money.” Afterwards, news of his marriage to Seo Hee-won was posted on Koo Jun-yeop's SNS. Kim Ea-na was moved by this news, saying, “It felt like the emotions that had been stored in a vacuum for both of us exploded with a ‘pop’ sound.” As the story of the two became known, a saying became popular in Taiwan: “If you want to be reunited with your first love, don’t change your phone number for 20 years.” When news of her remarriage came out after three divorces, her ex-husband Wang Xiaofei started going crazy. Various rumors poured out, such as that Seo Hee-won and Koo Jun-yeop had an affair and that Seo Hee-won used drugs. Seo Hee-won, who could no longer bear it, filed a complaint against 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."
