Dee Hsu resumed public activities at the 60th Golden Bell Awards in October 2025. Reports said she wore a necklace connected to her late sister Barbie Hsu and sang a song in tribute to her. She also revealed that she had tattooed the Chinese character ‘媛’ on the back of her neck, taken from Barbie Hsu’s given name, ‘徐熙媛.’
Key Developments
The central verified point is that Dee Hsu appeared at an official event after her sister Barbie Hsu’s death and expressed her remembrance through the tattoo, the necklace she wore, and a song. The tattoo character, ‘媛,’ is included in Barbie Hsu’s given name.
The central confirmed scene took place at the Golden Bell Awards in October 2025.
Current Status
The Associated Press reported that Barbie Hsu died in February 2025 from complications of influenza-related pneumonia while traveling in Japan. Barbie Hsu was married to Koo Jun-yup, making Dee Hsu his sister-in-law.
Meanwhile, related search terms circulating on September 2, 2026, included claims that Dee Hsu often sees Barbie Hsu in her dreams, along with wording related to photo posts. However, the provided research materials did not independently confirm the exact original wording of those remarks or the official account and posting date of the photo posts. These details therefore cannot be treated as confirmed facts.
Impact
This issue highlights the need to distinguish between details verified at a public event regarding Dee Hsu’s tribute and unverified specifics that spread through online search terms.
- Confirmed: Resumption of public activities at the Golden Bell Awards
- Confirmed: A ‘媛’ tattoo on the back of her neck
- Confirmed: Wearing a necklace related to Barbie Hsu and singing a song in tribute
- Requires further verification: The exact original wording of the remarks about dreams and the official posting information for the photo posts
Next Verification Point
The accuracy of these details can be reassessed if the original interview containing the remarks, posts from an official account, and publication dates are confirmed. For now, the publishable baseline facts are those from the October 2025 event, verified through official Golden Bell footage and multiple reports.
