Barbie&#x27;s iconic 2001 Taiwanese series <em>Meteor Garden </em>achieved phenomenal success as Filipino viewers embraced it and its cast members when its Tagalog-dubbed version aired on ABS-CBN in 2003. Sandara, on the other hand, lived in the Philippines and joined the talent search TV program <em>Star Circle Quest </em>in 2004, just about a year after the so-called &quot;Meteor Garden fever&quot; took over the country.</p><p>News of Barbie&#x27;s death made headlines last February 3. Her sister, Dee Hsu, confirmed the news through her agency and shared that Barbie died due to influenza-induced pneumonia while their family was vacationing in Japan for the Lunar New Year holiday. Barbie is survived by her South Korean husband, Koo Jun Yup (DJ Koo), and her two kids (a 10-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son) whom she shared with her ex-husband, Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei. She married Koo in 2022, a few months after she and Wang divorced.</p><div><strong>Related: <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/people/2025/2/3/a-look-back-on-taiwanese-actress-barbie-hsu-s-career-1354" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A Look Back on Taiwanese Actress Barbie Hsu&#x27;s Career</a><br/></strong></div><div><strong><em></em><em></em><em></em><em></em></strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong><em></em></strong></div><div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display:flex;max-width:550px;width:100%;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px"><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong><em></em><em></em><em></em></strong></div></div><div><strong>Lead photos from @daraxxi and @hsushiyuan</strong></div>
