Her husband made necklaces out of her ashes and gave them to her friends for good luck?

Her husband divided her ashes into 7 necklaces and gave them to her friends? This shocking information immediately sparked controversy, raising big questions about the purpose: Is this just a way to remember, or does it also contain some spiritual or lucky elements?

The sudden passing of Barbie Hsu (Dai S) in February 2025 in Tokyo, Japan, at the age of 48 left behind deep sorrow but also continued to cause noise. Most recently, on October 29, the topic "Barbie Hsu's ashes" became the hottest topic of debate on Weibo, rekindling the discussion about respect for the deceased in Eastern culture.

According to the information spread, a part of the late actress's ashes was divided into 7 heart-shaped necklaces by her current husband, DJ Koo (Koo Jun Yup). These necklaces were said to have been distributed to Da S's close group of "7 fairies", including her biological sister Tu Hy De, and close friends such as Pham Vy Ky, A Nha, Ngo Boi Tu, Pham Hieu Huyen and MC Thai Khang Vinh. This information quickly caused a stir. Netizens were especially interested when singer Pham Vy Ky publicly wore a similar necklace at a concert to honor her late friend on October 27. Previously, her younger sister, Tu Hy De, also wore a necklace said to contain her sister's ashes at the Golden Bell Awards on October 18.

The act of dividing the remains of the deceased into small pieces to distribute to relatives and friends has met with strong opposition. According to Eastern cultural concepts, this is considered disrespectful to the deceased. Many opinions expressed confusion and indignation, especially about the fact that "outsiders" own a part of the ashes, questioning why Pham Vy Ky or other members of the group of friends have a part of the ashes, while the family like Dai S's mother and children have enough left to divide. Some others also criticized Pham Vy Ky for taking advantage of this sensitive story to attract attention.

However, besides the criticism, there are also opinions defending and clarifying the information. These people point out the difference between Pham Vy Ky and Tu Hy De's necklace. Pham Vy Ky's necklace is considered a complete product, difficult to disassemble, from the Acne Studios brand. Meanwhile, Tu Hy De's necklace has a thin chain, a removable heart-shaped pendant - a detail consistent with the description of an item containing ashes. From there, they conclude that the necklace Pham Vy Ky wore on stage is not the necklace containing Tu Hy Vien's ashes. The way in which the deceased's remains are preserved is considered the personal opinion of each family, and should not be imposed or judged.

After Da S passed away, the conflict between her family and her ex-husband Wang Xiaofei over property and child custody was constantly rekindled. Amidst the noise, DJ Koo remained silent, choosing to remember his wife with sincerity, often visiting his wife's grave quietly. Although she passed away nearly a year ago, the controversies surrounding Barbie Hsu's name have not yet ended.
