Following the February 2nd passing of actress Hy Vien, a wave of grief and controversy has engulfed her family and her ex-husband, businessman Uong Tieu Phi. Her sudden departure has ignited a fierce battle over the inheritance and custody of her two young children.
The Underlying Conflict
Before her death, Hy Vien and Uong Tieu Phi were already embroiled in a dispute over assets and custody. Hy Vien’s mother shared with the media accusations of verbal abuse and threats from Uong Tieu Phi immediately following her daughter’s passing. The businessman’s harsh words and alleged lack of care for Hy Vien are believed to have contributed to her deteriorating health, leading to her demise. According to Hy Vien’s mother, the actress had wished for her ex-husband to put aside their grievances and care for their children. This was the basis for the family’s agreement to allow Uong Tieu Phi to assume custody.

However, the custody battle did not cease. Further conflict remains regarding the division of assets and the children’s future. Hy Vien’s mother maintains that rumors of disputes over inheritance with Uong Tieu Phi are inaccurate, stating the concern is solely about his care for the children. She expressed a desire for her daughter’s peaceful rest and appealed for the media to refrain from spreading false information.
Custody and Inheritance
Based on agreements between the families, Uong Tieu Phi has gained custody of the two children. He regularly presents the children to the media, trying to ensure their well-being. Hy Vien’s multi-million dollar estate is reportedly divided, with half going to her current husband, Koo Jun Yup, and the other half to the two children. Given their age, Uong Tieu Phi currently manages the children’s inheritance.
