In the letter, which began with the words "To my eternal love, my everything, Xiyuan," Koo gave fans a glimpse into his daily life without her.

According to the translation by Allkpop, he wrote, "How are you there? Is it cold? Is it hot? I worry about you all the time." He admitted that the empty space she left behind is still painful, sharing, "When I sit absentmindedly on one corner of the bed in the empty room, I still don't know if this is reality or a dream."

On the same day as the post, a special ceremony was held at Jinbao Mountain Memorial Park in New Taipei City to unveil a memorial sculpture dedicated to Barbie, according to the report of The Straits Time.

The piece, which depicts a young girl with her hand over her chest, was personally designed and produced by Koo to evoke a sense of serenity. He was joined at the ceremony by Barbie’s younger sister, Dee Hsu, and other high-profile friends.

The couple’s relationship was often described by fans as a real-life fairytale. After dating in 1998 and parting ways, they famously reunited more than 20 years later and married in 2022.
