Wellington Koo, à l'origine Koo Vi Kyuin et plus connu sous le nom de V. K. Wellington Koo (chinois traditionnel : 顧維鈞 ; chinois simplifié : 顾维钧 ; pinyin : Gù Wéijūn ; Wade : Ku Wei-chün, Koo Vi Kyuin est une transcription de son nom et son prénom selon la prononciation du shanghaïen), est né le 29 janvier 1887 à Shanghai (Chine impériale) et mort le 14 novembre 1985 à New York (États-Unis).

Il est un diplomate et homme d'État chinois, représentant de la république de Chine à la conférence de paix de Paris de 1919.

Oei Hui-lan (Chinese: 黃蕙蘭; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ûiⁿ Hūi-lân; 21 December 1889 – 1992), known as Madame Wellington Koo, was a Chinese-Indonesian international socialite and style icon, and, from late 1926 until 1927, the First Lady of the Republic of China. She was married firstly to British consular agent Beauchamp Caulfield-Stoker, then to the pre-communist Chinese statesman Wellington Koo, and was a daughter and heiress of the colonial Indonesian tycoon Oei Tiong Ham, Majoor der Chinezen.

Both the parents of Oei Hui-lan hailed from the establishment: her father stemmed from one of the wealthiest families in Java, while her mother came from the 'Cabang Atas' aristocracy as a descendant of a Luitenant der Chinezen in Semarang's 18th-century Dutch bureaucracy. After an unsuccessful marriage with Caulfield-Stoker, she met Wellington Koo while in Paris in 1920. They married in Brussels the following year and first lived in Geneva in connection with the establishment of the League of Nations. In 1923, she moved with her husband to Beijing where he served as Acting Premier in the evolving republican Chinese state. During his second term (October 1926—June 1927), Wellington Koo also acted as President of the Republic of China for a brief period, making Oei Hui-lan the First Lady of China. The couple then spent time in Shanghai, Paris and London where Oei Hui-lan became a celebrated hostess. In 1941, she moved to New York where she died in 1992.

Oei Hui-lan, or Madame Koo as she became known, is also remembered for writing two autobiographies and for her contributions to fashion, especially her adaptations of traditional Chinese dress.

Juliana Young Koo, born Yen Yu-yun (Chinese: 嚴幼韻; September 26, 1905 – May 24, 2017), was a Chinese-American diplomat and supercentenarian who worked in the UN Protocol Department. Her first husband, Chinese diplomat Clarence Kuangson Young, was assassinated by Japanese imperial forces during World War II. She became the long-term mistress for the diplomat and politician V.K. Wellington Koo, long before her husband's death. After the war, she moved to the United States; in 1956 Koo divorced his wife and married her.
