A tribute video for the late Seo Hee-won appeared in New York's Times Square, allowing people around the world to pay their respects.

According to local foreign media such as China Times on the 12th (local time), fans of Seo Hee-won placed an advertisement in Times Square to commemorate the deceased. The advertisement, which edited together footage of the late star's activities during her lifetime, is reported to have cost around 3.28 million New Taiwan dollars (approximately 145.1 million Korean won). A photographer specializing in Times Square shots also shared this scene on social media.

In addition to Times Square, a tribute video for the late star was also displayed on a large screen in Nanjing Plaza, China, celebrating her beautiful moments.

Seo Hee-won passed away on the 2nd during a trip to Japan due to influenza and pneumonia. Her remains were returned to Taiwan on the 6th, and she is set to be laid to rest in a tree burial.

Gu Jun-yeop has stated that he will transfer all his rights to the inheritance, which has become the target of fake news, to his mother-in-law, and that he will take legal measures to ensure that bad people cannot access the rights or property until their two children become adults.

Seo Hee-won married Chinese businessman Wang Shao-bi (Xiao Pei) in 2011 and had a son and a daughter, but they divorced in 2021 after ten years. After that, Seo Hee-won announced her marriage to Gu Jun-yeop, who was her partner 20 years ago, in March 2022.
