A widely circulated social media photo shows From Hy Viên looking extremely weak as she leaned on her husband at a Japanese hotel. The picture, taken on January 29th, the first day of the Lunar New Year, shows her and her family preparing to travel to the hot spring town of Hakone. Her husband, South Korean singer Koo Jun Yup, was visibly concerned about her health.
Errors in Treatment Journey
Health experts believe that continuing the trip instead of seeking medical attention early on exacerbated her condition. Prior to this, a tour guide revealed that From Hy Viên had shown symptoms of coughing, fever, and asthma shortly after arriving in Japan from Taiwan. Despite these symptoms, she persisted with her vacation plans.
Additionally, bathing in hot springs while already weakened is believed to have worsened her condition. According to Sohu, From Hy Viên refused to be hospitalized in Japan, returning to the hotel to avoid spoiling the holiday spirit for her family.
Family Keeps Information Private and Plans for Returning Ashes
From Hy Viên’s family has not commented on the details surrounding her illness. On February 3rd, her younger sister, From Hy Diep, confirmed that From Hy Viên had contracted the flu and pneumonia before her passing. The family is now focused on bringing her ashes back to her hometown in Taiwan to prepare for the funeral.
