VANNESS KEEPING THE FATE ALIVE
VALUES

The Flower 4 singers- Vanness, Jerry, Vic and Ken - are known for their
positive values in life. All four of them never fail to give thanks
to God on their new albums, group or individual, most especially christian-born
Vanness Wu.

"We are no angels", says Vanness.
"Far from it. But we had a good education and we have good values. And we hope
fans notice that as it's reflected in the music we do, in our image and
in our style."

Vanness new future disc is a natural development from his first
album

It is just more of a growth for me, the music and lyrics wise.
There's a bit little deeper on this 2nd album than may be on my first one.
Not only me, but the whole group, we always try to challenge ourselves
to become better on turning our craft, developing our ear,
our style of music."

"We constantly try to grow to the next level. It's simply a little bit
more mature-sounding."

HAPPY
"During the shoot for Pepsi, We're very happy together as a group.
We may talk about what lies ahead for each one of us, but we don't
plan on breaking up any time soon. We always have fun on the road."
"We get on each other's nerves once in a while, here and there.
But we talk about things, we communicate. As long as we do that,
everything is cool!"

TOUR

"I do not think there will be drastic changes" except that we will perform
again as a group. It's about time we hear fans' requests.
Our music is what it is. The image we portray is what we decide,
and we always try to keep up with new trends, and new styles."

F4 fly and walk walls
Posted: July 7, 2004

F4 still isn¡¯t earning enough and has to go overseas?

F4 and other Pepsi stars filmed a commercial that will start to broadcast in Taiwan starting on the 15th. On that day, F4¡¯s broker Zhi Xiang Li will also leave for ¡°Shanghai Fu Long¡± to find advertisement, dramas, movies and other developments overseas for F4.

Several months ago, F4, Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, Sammi Cheng, Aaron Kwok and Edison Chen went to Jordan to film a commercial. In the middle of this month the commercial will be shown in Taiwan after being shown in HK and China already. A week later, is will broadcast the final chapter with the other regions.

There¡¯s a lot of action in this commercial. Although all actors are powerful, but F4 takes the important responsibility of hanging on wires to save people by flying, flying and walking walks, and block an unexpected guest. Ken Zhu fears heights had to be hanged 8 stories high. Because of this he became very restrained and suddenly didn¡¯t say a word. He didn¡¯t breathe a sigh of relief until he touched the ground again.

When filming, F4 was divided into 2 groups and 100 people were needed to control the steel wires. Jerry Yan and Vanness Wu only depended on the steel wires to climb here and there like Spiderman. They also moved to and fro like a shuttle in midair. Vic Zhou and Ken Zhou on the other side clapped for them.

Vanness, who likes to hang on wires, thought that it would be more fun if there were more action in commercials that he will film later. Vic Zhou said that he was in charge of ¡°flying and walking the wall¡± during the scene with all 9 stars. He was very nervous at that time, ¡°There¡¯s a lot of pressure! If I NG and hang in mid air, the 8 people waiting for me will surely murder me! I really don¡¯t know if the director things that my defense skills are the best or joking with me!¡±

F4 has work until the end of the year but will go to China successively to film commercials and endorse.

Vic Zhou just came back from Shanghai after filming an ad. Beginning in mid-july he will start to promote ¡°Mars¡± for a month. Then film a movie overseas before school starts. Jerry will release an album in August and then film a foreign invested love action movie. Ken is filming ¡°City in the Sky¡± in China. His album still needs a one or two more songs and will release after Jerry¡¯s. Vanness is in the US working on his 2nd album.

Chinese Stars imported from US

The Central News Agency of San Francisco on the 14th special news in August in the popular magazine "Jane", asked "how to become the Asian popular star in five days" as the topic article, female Reporter Claudine Ko describes many people of Chinese descent ABC teenage boys and girls to pursue the star dream to Taiwan and attached L.A. Boyz’ and Wu Jian Hao’s picture.
Above mentioned are considered to be lucky in Asia to become famous in the inside story. This article subtitle writes that, if one wants to become famous in Taiwan certainly does not need to have any true talent.

Claudine Ko pointed out that in the past more than ten years, Taiwan became the Asian entertainment circle key position, but also accomplished several extreme luck in the Asian and Pacific area but the American readers simply have not possibly listened to asian stars, for example Tao?,Wu Jian hao, La Boyz.

These people of Chinese descent stars all are Taiwan import from US, similarly come from the California loose skinned orange county. L.A.Boyz family background Huang Lich'eng explained: "If you become lucky in Beijing doesn’t mean you will become famous in Taiwan, or you can be famous in Hong Kong, or Singapore become also famous with mainland China".

In the report also writes that, 12 years ago idol association L.A. Boyz which was lucky in Taiwan have once dismissed in 1998, now 28 year-old Lin Chihwen studies assiduously the medical college, 29 year-old Huang Lihsing only flew in the performance circle, 31 year-old Huang Lich'eng called Machi the broker company from a group family reputation, just like became "Taiwan's ABC idol to make the factory godfather".

With Wu Jian Hao and so on the well-known idol meeting, after several days saw the picture publishes, in as short as five days the result of the newspaper sales were good

Vanness Wu dances with hot girls in “Shuang” MV


Huang Li Cheng has a lot of connections. When filming the MV for “Shuang”, all of Machi was present. Not only was Liu Rong Jia’s older sister there, even F4’s Vanness Wu was too!

Huang Li Cheng and Vanness Wu both grew up in the Los Angeles, USA and are really good friends. When filming the “Shuang” MV, once Huang Li Cheng arrived he saw the director filming a lot of “C Zhao Bei” hot girls to dance. Huang Li Cheng called Vanness Wu and said, “Come loosen up a bit and dance with hot girls.”

When Vanness arrived he got absorbed into the happy atmosphere quickly. He danced with the “C Zhao Bei” hot girls, showing his awesome dancing skills. He won applauses from the hot girls. When the MV was done filming, Huang Li Cheng and the director realized that Vanness and Huang Li Cheng belong to 2 different companies. So in the end they had not choice but to cut out a big part of the scenes with Vanness and the hot girls. If fans look carefully, they’ll see a flash of Vanness.

Seoul Abuzz With Asian Pop Stars

Top stars from all across the north Asian region gathered in Seoul on Saturday to throw what is likely to go down as the biggest pop bash of the summer of 2004.

Korean pop stars like Shinhwa's Kim Dong-wan, top left, and rock group Jaurim, top right, were joined by Machi and Vanness Wu, bottom right, from Taiwan and Japanese pop sensation Amuro Namie, above, at the MTV Buzz Asia Concert in Seoul Saturday. Korea Times-Yonhap

More than just a string of pop performances, MTV Buzz Asia Concert was the time and place to celebrate Asian pop music. Glittering in front of a 35,000-person audience, the star-studded stages at Chamsil Gymnasium were greeted by ear-piercing screams and a sea of banners and balloons.
From Japan came that nation’s queen of pop, Amuro Namie, and R&B vocalist AI. All the way from Taiwan came popular hip-hop crew Machi; heartthrob member of the group F4, Vanness Wu and promising new talent Wang Lee Hom.

South Korea's very own six-guy pop outfit Shinwha, rock band Jaurim, and dance group JTL also took part in the three-hour-long party.

More than 130 reporters, including an approximate 60 from neighboring Asian countries, and an estimated 35,000 fans flew in from Japan and Taiwan for the event.

Although the teams were from different countries and each had their own musical styles, they all seemed to have two things in common - that they were all eager to expand their territory by reaching out to all Asians, and that they considered South Korea to be an important scene to have presence in.

"Korean culture is a very hip thing at the moment,’’ Wang Lee Hom said at a joint press conference prior to the concert Saturday afternoon. "It's influential in Taiwan, Japan and other Asian nations. Being here and participating in this concert that promotes local pop music is great.''

Wang, who also plays piano and violin as well as sings, released his latest album, "Unbelievable,'' in South Korea earlier this month, Buzz Asia marked the debut of this multitalented newcomer in the local scene.

Opening act featured local rock band Jaurim, who presented numbers that included "Magic Carpet Ride'' and earlier hit, "Hey, Hey, Hey.'' The group is set to release their new album in October, which they plan to promote in China and Japan as well as here.

Following AI's time on the stage, the concert really stepped into full gear as Machi and Vanness Wu took the stage. In a tip of the hat to Jay Chung, leader of the disbanded R&B trio Solid and producer their new album, Machi, with help from Wu, excited surprised fans with impressive interpretations of some of Solid’s most loved hits, including "Ibamuigguchuljabgo,'' and "Chonsaengyonbun.''

In her second time performing in Seoul, Amuro Namie had the crowd going crazy with her hit "Put 'Em Up,'' as well as the first ever public performance of "All For You,'' her latest single that was released in both Japan and South Korea simultaneously on Thursday.

Bringing the event to a close were some heart-pounding numbers delivered by Shinwha. They sang and danced to past hits and also performed "How Did I Say,'' a track from their soon to be released seventh album.

Although BoA, Korea’s equivalent to Britney Spears, backed out of the concert at the very last moment, disappointing a great many who had hoped to see a joint performance by her and Amuro Namie, all seemed to have been forgotten by the end of this wildly successful concert.

MTV Buzz Asia Concert is scheduled to air on the cable channel MTV Korea at 9 p.m. on Aug. 6.

Korea, Japan, Taiwan become one at MTV concert
Jamsil Indoor Stadium was all aglow on Saturday as the top artists of East Asia came together for the MTV Buzz Asia Concert, turning the event into one of the hottest parties ever.
The concert was organized by MTV Korea and the MP3 company Iriver, both to promote the "Korean Wave" in Asia and to jump start unifying the world of Asian music.

Fans had been disappointed when a planned joint performance by Korea and Japan's top divas BoA and Amuro Namie, respectrively, failed to materialize with Boa canceling her appearance a few weeks earlier. However, the concert still turned out to be an enormous gift, packed with something for everyone.

Korea's Shinhwa, Jaurim and jtL; Japan's Amuro Namie and AI; and Taiwan's Vanness Wu, MACHI and Wang Lee Hom performed for more than 15,000 people, including 2,000 fans who flew to Korea from Japan and Taiwan to see their idols.

A middle school student Ha Song-hee said she stood in line for six hours to get her place right in front of the stage. "I'm so glad that I will be able to see Shinhwa up close. Not to mention all the other famous singers from other countries," she exclaimed. "I'm so excited that I could just burst!"

The concert began with the powerful voice of Kim Yoon-a, lead singer of Korea's fusion-rock band Jaurim.

Kim had been working on her own promoting her solo album for the last year and a half, giving concerts in Tokyo. As she said at a news conference before the concert, the members of Jaurim who had reunited for the first time in many days were certainly in top form.

When Jaurim performed "Hey hey hey" the song that launched the group to stardom in Korea, the crowd erupted.

As Taiwan's number one hip hop dance group MACHI and the beloved icon Vanness Wu,a member of F4, gave a joint performance, the cheers of Taiwan fans who were seated at the front left of the stadium were quickly joined by loud cheers from Koreans.

MACHI members filled the stage with powerful dances while shouting "Dae-han-min-guk," arousing hot crowd response. The whole Korean nation resonated with that famous chant when cheering on the Korean soccer team in the 2002 Soccer World Cup.

Fans' bodies swayed as one when Vanness Wu and Jay Chung, a member of Korean R&B vocal group Solid and also the producer of MACHI, came together and sang, "Holding the Last of This Night."

"I cannot believe that I got the chance to see Vanness this close up. I don't think I will be able to sleep for nights," said a woman in her 20s who introduced herself as a big fan of F4 and Vanness Wu.

Fans swirled ballons of orange and white when two of Korea's most popular male vocal groups, Shinhwa and jtL, performed. The orange balloons stood for Shinhwa fans and the white for jtL. Shinhwa gave one of its best performances.

"Shortly after this concert, our new album will be released. We will use this concert as a starting point for promoting our album to the whole of Asia," Shin Hae-sung, Shinhwa's lead vocalist had said.

When jtL sprang onto the stage, a huge dragon floated out from the right side. Fans from Korea, Taiwan and Japan all sang along to "Another Day," jtL's debut song.

jtL, who had expressed that they were very flattered to be on stage with all the other top Asian artists, definitely did their best to fill the void left by the absence of BoA and Dongbangshingi, also known as Tong Vfang Xien Qi, who had cancelled.

The stadium's half-roof was almost blown off by the fans' response when Japan's sweetheart Amuro Namie adorned the stage. The doll-like diva seduced the crowd in a slinky miniskirt, showing off her beautiful figure.

Amuro said she had been moved by the overwhelming response of Korean fans at her May concert in Korea. To show her gratitude, she sang "All for You," the title song of her brand new album, for the first time at the Buzz Asia Concert. The album was released simultaneously in Japan and Korea last Thursday.

"Because of my self-consciousness, I wasn't able to fully enjoy myself when I performed with the top artists from other countries in the past. But this time I intend to have a blast," she told an earlier news conference.

True to her words, Amuro and the fans became one as she filled the stadium with a breath-taking performance.

AI, another Japanese diva who debuted last year, left the crowd gaping in amazement at her striking performance. She had said she was overcome with happiness to be performing outside of Japan for the first time. The neophyte diva sang everything from hip hop to rap music to R&B, and earned Korean's heart with her stage manners as well. Before singing "My Friend," she shouted "This is for you guys, my chingu!" using the Korean word for friend.

Taiwan's young prince Wang Lee Hom brought out an electronic violin as his hidden tool. The versatile and talented artist, who is famous for the wide range of instruments he handles, filled the stadium with melodious music, both vocal and instrumental.

HK Choi, general manager of MTV Korea, had hoped the concert would work as a springboard to unify the Asian music market. "Artists should perform targeting whole Asian market, not just the markets of their home grounds. We pursue that and I hope everyone will follow our lead," he said.

The Buzz Asia Concert showed that that market is indeed being unified, with stars connecting with many Asian fans outside their homelands.

Girls went wild in Hsimenting in Taipei on Sunday, when Hong Kong singer
Alex To (left and right) took off most of his clothes to promote his
single, Tuo Diao (Take Off).

Reports said he stripped down to his swimming trunks just as he sang the
last line of the song, "Take it all off".

In Seoul last Saturday, temperatures also soared when Asian-American
hip-hop group Machi (above) and their co-performer, F4's Vanness Wu (above
right), took off their tops at the MTV Buzz Asia Concert.

Despite their efforts, the star of the show was still Japanese singer Namie
Amuro, who had the Koreans singing along with her in Japanese, said reports.

TAIWAN'S VANNESS WU AND MACHI KOREA'S SHINHWA


CAN the Taiwanese beat the Koreans at their own game?

Vanness Wu and Machi can.

These Taiwanese-American boys showed that they could steal the kimchi from K-pop biggies jtL and Shinhwa - what more, on the Korean stars' home turf.

At the MTV Buzz Asia Concert at Chamshil Stadium in Seoul last Saturday, the loudest screams from the 15,000 crowd were divided fairly equally between the homegrown celebs and the foreign boys.

Not that the Korean fans understood the Hokkien-rapping group, Machi, whose members looked like hunky Ah Bengs.

But when you have F4's Vanness Wu, 26, on your side, and some lovely six-pack abs on display, language is certainly no barrier.

When the boys came out following a somewhat lacklustre opening by Korea's Jaurim and Japanese singer AI, so did banners, placards and red heart-shaped balloons.

One fan, Ms Jenise Park, 32, who was wearing a Vanness T-shirt, said she went for the concert just to see the F4 member.

She doesn't understand Hokkien or Mandarin but she thought the men were hot.

'I especially like Vanness... I can't explain it, he's so handsome,' she said, clearly flustered from screaming for her man.

Any time a Machi member or Vanness bent down to touch eager hands in the mosh pit, even the fans up in the stalls stood up to check out who the lucky person was.

So you can imagine how crazy the crowd went when the boys pulled the their T-shirts off to reveal those glistening toned bods, and the scramble for their sweaty tees when they threw them to fans.

HIP-HOP MOVES

The hugely-popular Vanness has been helping his hip-hop buddies earn extra mileage with fans, appearing with them on the red carpet at the MTV Asia Awards held in Singapore earlier this year as well.

The five-member Machi (Taiwanese slang for 'friend') are cousins. But the most popular member is Andrew Chou, better known as Machi Didi and just 13.

Quite a feat for someone who's barely hit puberty.

It's all in the hip-hop moves. And maybe the fact that one of the Machis - Nicky - is Korean-American. And perhaps also because Vanness shared big-screen time in the movie Star Runner with Korean sweetheart Kim Hyun-Joo.

But if the largely female crowd - from teeny-bopper chicks to mothers with toddlers in tow - showed the Taiwanese great Korean hospitality, they were more proud of the Made In Korea products.

University student Kim Keong Kee, 23, was at the concert for her favourite, jtL.

According to her, the three-member group (plus at least five back-up dancers) is Korea's top group.

In halting English, she said: 'Dance very good. jtL very cute.'

Fans sang along with the group throughout their set and chanted 'jtL, jtL' between verses.

Another big hit with the fans was Korean boy band Shinhwa.

TEENAGE GIRLS

Fans - mostly young teenage girls - came prepared with orange balloons and were decked out in orange raincoat-type gear to show their support. But if Machi and Vanness received great foreign diplomacy, fellow Taiwanese-American Wang Lee Hom, 28, was greeted with less enthusiasm.

He showed off his musical prowess by starting his set with a jazz number on the piano and later played the violin.

But the crowd didn't quite warm up to his impressive multiple musical talents, maybe because he didn't have the moves of a dancer.

Or, it could've been that the American-born Chinese was talking more than he was entertaining. Many in the crowd probably didn't understand him as he spoke in heavily-accented American English.

Even Japanese babes Namie Amuro and AI failed to move the crowd bent on the boy bands.

As an audience member at the concert put it: 'It's a concert for chicks.'


The MTV Buzz Asia Concert will be shown across South-east Asia on Aug 28.

The boys from Taiwan

Published on Jul 27, 2004


For Thai teenagers it’s a dream come true: F4 are finally coming to the Kingdom. But concert tickets aren’t going cheap

Thai fans have been waiting for two years but at last it’s confirmed. F4, Taiwan’s boy band – and the hottest lads in Asia – are finally going to perform in the Kingdom on August 30.

“It’s a dream come true,” says a member of one of F4’s fan clubs, smiling happily despite the crush at a press conference earlier this month dubbed “Bangkok Fantasy with F4” at Centre Point, Siam Square. “It is absolutely fantastic.”

Centre Point – the Thai equivalent of “Harajuku”, Tokyo’s famed pop area – was packed with girls belonging to several fan clubs, among them, Fan Cool Gang, f4thailand.com, Ken-Chu International Fan Club, www.jerrybunnyclub.com and www.zaizhouclub.net. Reporters and staff members of Thai Yamaha Motor Co Ltd, the main sponsor of the upcoming concert, manage to find a space away from the crowd.

“We’ve been thinking about it for a while,” says Jintana Udomsub, chief of commerce for one of the bestselling motorcycles in the Kingdom. “For the past two months, we’ve been holding a special promotion offering a gift set to all buyers of a Yamaha motorcycle.

“We’re more confident about finalising the concert on August 30 because of our good connections,” Jintana continues amid the screams. “Its important that all four of members of the band are here.”

The four members are Yan Cheng Xu, better-known as Jerry; Zhou Yu Ming, aka Zaizai or Vic, Zhu Xiao Tian, aka Ken; and Wu Jian Hao, aka Vanness. In 2002, F4 set a new trend in Asian music: a boy band who sway to the slow rhythms of smooth but exciting pop.

The four Taiwanese lads were a success from the start. Their debut album “Meteor Rain” sold well in many Asian countries. They then moved to the small screen, starring in their very own TV series called “Meteor Garden I”.

Thai teens waited impatiently for the debut album to arrive and snapped it up the moment Sony Music Thailand distributed it to the record stores. The same delay was experienced in importing the televised series, titled “Rak Sai Sai Huajai 4 Duang” in Thai and shown on Channel 3.

One of the soundtracks from the series, “Liu Xing Yu” sold 180,000 copies in Taiwan and was a bestseller in Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei and China. In Thailand, the track stayed at the top of 88 Peak FM’s chart for four weeks and was in the Top Five for two months.

Fans of F4 all over Asia went wild when the boy band’s second album, “Fantasy 4ever”, which featured another two hit soundtracks “Jue Bu Neng Shi Qu Ni” and “Yan Huo Ji Jie” recorded for the second TV series, became bestsellers.

The advertising companies stepped in and soon the foursome were the presenters on a commercial for a soft drink with the song, “Ask For More”. They also sang Elvis Presley’s timeless hit “Can’t Help Falling in Love”, for a soundtrack of Walt Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch.” They won the Inspiration Award at MTV Asia Awards in Singapore.

In 2003, F4 became the presenters for Yamaha motorcycle companies all over the Asian region with the “Make Your Life Different” slogan of the “Switch” campaign.

The delay in bringing F4 to the Thai stage has been put down to cost, with rumours circulating that bringing the lads here would cost a cool Bt100 million. So just how much has Yamaha coughed up for the commercials and the concert?

“A lot,” says the chief of commerce. “But I can’t give the exact amount.”

“The expenses for the concert come to Bt50 million,” says a public relations officer from Bec-Tero Entertainment. That explains why the ticket prices are so high.

Yamaha is distributing 500 free tickets for the concert to 1,000 customers. For more information, call the Yamaha Meet F4 hotline on (02) 238 4072.

The company will be making available 300,000 copies of an F4 portrait postcard. Motorbike owners should write their name, full address and motorcycle registration number, then send it to PO Box 707, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500, before August 12. The lucky draw takes place on August 16 and the announcement of the lucky winners will appear on August 23 in Thai Rath.

Another sponsor, Mobile Easy by IEC, is also offering free tickets and souvenirs. to selected buyers of its mobile phones.

Tickets cost Bt6,000, Bt4,000, Bt2,500 and Bt1,000 and are available at all Thaiticketmaster booths at Central (Chidlom, Lat Phrao, Pinklao, Bang Na) and Big C (Ramkhamhaeng), at www.thaiticketmaster.com or by calling (02) 204 9999. They will go on sale from Saturday.

Vivian Hsu and Vanness Wu go out everyday

http://appledaily.atnext.com/images/apple-...nt/31ec2p10.jpg

A few days ago Vivian said that Vanness Wu was a friend she keeps in contact with at a press conference. A few nights ago these 2 good friends wore similar caps and saw a movie together. Yesterday afternoon they walked the streets together. Both of them won't admit their relationship. Reports asked Vivian if she watched a movie with Vanness. She said looking innocent, "No."

Rumors about Vivian and Vanness have gone on for a long time. The other day she cut her hair and was asked if it had anything to do with Vanness. She first denied and then said immediately afterwards that she was "good friends" with Vanness. And this pair of good friends are so good that they saw a movie at 11pm.

Because Vivian wore a black shirt that exposed her shoulders and half her chest, she attracted attention and the 2 also lowered their caps.

After the movie Vanness drove Vivian home. A reporter immediately went up to her to ask her if she watched a movie with Vanness when seeing her step into her home alone. She first had a shocked expression, then recovered and said, "No." When the reporter wanted to ask more, she said at once, "No." She then shut the door and Vanness was no where to be seen.

Before Vivian went to see a movie with Vanness she was hanging out with some friends and already noticed that reporters were following her. She told them that she was simply eating dinner with friends and would return home afterwards, nothing much. She did return home afterwards but then not long after went out with Vanness.

Yesterday afternoon someone saw them walking the streets with the same caps. The 2 saw a movie late at night and then in the morning Vanness went shopping with Vivian.

in relation to the recent news...



Vivian Hsu, Even the hair have slimmed down, Nothing to do with Vanness Wu

Vivian, who was always spotted with long hair ever since she was in this circle, have cut her hair to a short LA MEI head. Whether is it cutting her hair for the guy, or is it that her relationship with her "good friend" Vanness Wu had changes ? Vivian laughed and said, "Vanness is just a friend whom i'll keep in contact, and cutting my hair has nothing to do with any relationship, it's just that yesterday i met this killer hair stylist!"

Vanness Wu and Vivian Hsu , Relationship "Ming Lang Hua"

The rumors of Vivian and Vanness have been going around for a long time, the both of them have been claiming that they were just good friends, however, they have actually been going around.

Being Sexy Wins Attention

The night before at around ten pm, Vanness Wu and Vivian Hsu appeared at Jing Hua Cheng Xi Man Ge Ying Cheng very low-profiled. As Vivian was wearing a black tube, and the both of them purposely pulled their caps lower, they even attracted more attention. After the movie, Vanness drove Vivian's car and sent her back to her place. Reporter went forward to Vivian and asked her whether did she went for a movie with Vanness, she showed a very surprised look and than said stably, "Nope!", and quickly went into her house, and Vanness was nowhere to be seen.

Yesterday afternoon, both were spotted again at Dong Qu Hua Na Wei Xiu, it's believed that Vanness accompanied Vivian with shopping for clothes. Seems like their relationship is becoming more and more "Ming Lang Hua".
