The disbanded four-piece boy group F4 had a reunion last week in Hong Kong. Though promoted as their last Hong Kong concert, the performances failed to attract as much media attention as the rumored romance between F4's Jerry Yan and local diva Lin Chi-ling. Lin was reported to have mysteriously disappeared during a commercial shoot in Guangzhou and was later spotted poorly disguised at the F4 concert.

As for the concerts themselves, they were more of a musical disaster, as the pretty boys were caught lip-syncing to pre-recorded songs when they were forced to stop as they couldn't hear their own voices on stage.

Remains alone in HK after F4 Concert, Vanness Wu plays around in the night

After F4 ended their concert in HK on the 25th, each member slowly went back to Taiwan to continue their work. However, Vanness did not leave together with the other 3 but stayed alone in HK to have fun.

After since the reports of rumours that have have broken up with Vanness, Vanness was not even linked to any female celebrity names. On the appearence, he looked like he is quietly recuperating, but in fact, his playful character didn't change.

Last Wednesday (28th March), our newspaper realised Vanness had gone to TsiumShaTsuai's Fat Angelo’s with a local band for dinner and drinks. According to what is known, Vanness would be conducting solo tours in Japan together with this band and he is trying to build up the relationship since he is in HK for the f4 concert. That night, Vanness treated a group of 6 people to a Italian meal and they opened 5 bottles of red wine. As it was a whole group of guys, Vanness appeared comfortable and would point and talk about some good looking girls there sometimes. They didn't leave even after playing for 4 hours. After that, reporters realised they went to a bar somewhere near Mei Li Hua Hotel to continue.

Thanks to Tou Tiao News.

Our Stories
There are issues that shake a nation, but these are the top 6 stories that rocked our readers' worlds

F4

They came, we saw, they blew us away. From all points of the Taiwanese invasion that was F4-in-Manila, StarStudio tagged along with the Meteor crew. The biggest story of 2003 may have been the Kris Aquino-Joey Marquez gun-cocking scandal, but nothing can beat the hysterics of the 20,000 fans that filled the ULTRA September 13 that year to see Vanness Wu and Ken Chu perform. Diehard fanatics didn't mind braving the rains, or shelling out P10,000 for VIP tickets. And singing along to Taiwanese ditties most of them barely understood. November 29 of the same year, it was the foursome's other twosome Jerry Yan and Vic Zhou's turn to wow Manila. The day they arrived at the NAIA, Jerry was nursing a fever and had an allergy to sampaguitas but showed no signs he was under the weather. That night at the concert held at the Fort, Vic serenaded the crowd with his solo hits. The only English word he uttered was "hello." Jerry did better; the concert's host Ai-ai dela Alas managed to make him say "Ai-ai, mahal kita."

...If 2003 had F4 and 2004 had Sandara, 2005 had Sam Milby (which should make you think: are we tired of homegrown talents?).

The F4 concert tour that all their worldwide fans have been waiting for kicked off at the Hong Kong Coliseum. March 22's opening night saw fans from all over the globe welcoming the band with hundreds of bouquets and causing huge traffic tailbacks. F4 entered the stage from above sitting on a 4-headed dragon singing Ask For More and "Won't Ever Lose You", which immediately drove the audience wild.

During the solos, Vanness Wu sang "Sad Farewell", gave a spectacular dance performance and showcased some Kung Fu moves too. Vic Zhou offered a magic dance number with a girl dancer stealing the show with their attractive dance/kiss performance. Ken Zhu's number was the swing version of "A Good Guy" coupled with some fancy dance moves. On top of that he also impressed with his quality guitar playing and drum performances. Jerry Yan received the most frenetic applause, however, when he performed a sizzling hot dance and went on to seduce everybody with "Fairy Tale".

Even though they are frequently reported to be at odds and are in danger of breaking up, F4 always maintain their united high quality on stage. Finally not only did they stand shoulder to shoulder presenting Meteor Rain, but on the last day of the 3 day event Jerry, Vic and the others embraced as if to confirm the "4 band members' Forever@Friendship" in accordance with the tour name - F4 Forever 4. After this leg of the tour, F4 are preparing to take their show all over the world.

Vanness Wu, Trains Hard for Eight Abs

After Vanness Wu let off his relationship with Vivian Hsu, he engrossed himself in his work and he is getting more and more big shot in his singing style. For the 2 consecutive big concerts, he appeared in Japanese visual look, smokey make-up and punk hairstyle, shocking his fans. To this ABC who have always had his long hairstyle since Meteor Garden, F4's handsome hunk is changed.

His liking for music supasses acting. From last year, Vanness stopped accepting show invites. After his contract with Fu Long ended, he have place his determination to progress as a international singer. He, who have always loved korean culture and music, have invited 2 korean producer to be involved in his new album. Korean style of hot dances is also his aim.

The biggest change of Vanness is that he have work out to have a body of abs. Having cabbage, chicken cooked in water, egg white for all his meals together with lots of exercise brought Vanness from the not bad body to the abs that everyone is praising him about. He is prepared for everything and now waiting for his music preparation. F4's 4 handsome hunks are all grown up, Vanness stands by his music, with his determination and humble-ness, he will soon have his own road.

Thanks to Singpao.

Vanness Wu, Controls Diet to Train 8 abs

Recently, Vanness Wu of F4 who showed his abs and did a great dance at the concert in HK have been rumoured that he will be leaving F4 after Jerry Yan. F4 will then become F2 ? Yesterday, Fu Long Management's Yao Yi Jun have confirmed that Vanness does not have a management contract with them and are only working on terms. However, they're way of working with one another hasn't changed much from the previous way.

10 days ago, F4 ended their concert in HK. Vanness, who did well admitted after the concert that he did suffer for this concert. His main point was to train for his body of to have muscles. Everday, he would only take in 3 things, egg white, cabbage, water cooked with chicken breast, adding to the non-stop exercising, bearing and working out, he finally managed to train his current 8 abs after half a year. F3, including other work members who were working with him was warned by him, "Stay away from me. Don't drink or eat in front of me." Asked if controlling was included in his diet, his manager, Zhi Xiang Li said, "I didn't ask him about it."

However, after news of him going solo was being said after the concert, rumours were saying that Vanness, who loved dancing and cool music have been practising his Japanese and Korean for the past 1 year and have been crossing over to Korea to meet music producers many times. He might have probably been signed under some international company and set up his own company like Jerry. However, his management company denies the rumours and explained that because Vanness cherishes relationships alot and cherishes his "contract" with Fu Long. He, who would be releasing his new album soon have also placed this matter in the hands of the comapny to handle. They have no contract but both parties are working happily.

There was this scene of Vanness killing Jerry during the HK concert. He was being reviewed as having the dramatic effect. He even did the smoky eyes make-up and interacted with Japanese fans on-stage. After that, Jerry even praised him and expressed that they would not put off the idea of working together in a movie. Vanness would be returning to Taiwan from US today to atten the Sony Fair@Taiwan this coming Saturday. The 8 abs dance king would be shown again, Vanness's future is filled with all sorts of possibilities.

Thanks to Lian He Bao.

Translated by Xiujuan @ OnlyF4

Was Vanness prohibited to build-up his eight-pack muscles?
Handsomely coming out with his eight-pack abs a few days ago in HK, and strongly exploding in his hot dance sensations, F4 Concert's Vanness Wu, was rumored to next leave F4 and follow Jerry Yan's going solo. Will F4 then become F2? Yesterday, Fulong's project manager Yao Yi Jun confirmed that they only have a verbal contract with Vanness, as both dont have a full contract, but working together like in the past hasnt made very big changes.

F4 ended their sweet flowing concert 10 days ago. With his exceptional performance, Vanness frankly said that he bitterly ate his foot for the present concert. To immediately build-up perfect muscles for his whole body, he mainly ate 3 servings of egg whites, cauliflower and water-boiled chicken breast plus constant sports. He bitterly bit his teeth to open, and finally within half- a year of training, he got the perfect eight-pack abs. People including F3 who have their own individual projects like in Tong Ren, all were warning him that "I'm going away a little far, and not eating sweets and hot drinks in front of me. " When asked if he was prohibited to build up his perfect muscles, his manager Zhi Xiang Li said, "I didnt asked him for this."

However, regarding rumors going around outside and inside the concert, that he is on the verge of flying solo, and rumors that he loves to dance and sing, nearly over the past years has been learning to speak Japanese and Korean, and many times has been meeting with Korean music figures and groups, it might be that he will shift to other international company networks. With his plans to set up his own website like Jerry, his management company denied the rumors. Vanness is mainly very serious, and also values his verbal contract with Fulong. He is on his way to release his new album, and his friends at the management continues to handle these. They dont have a contract but both parties are happily working together.

Vanness had a segment at the concert where he shoot Jerry with a gun. He commented that because Jerry opened up his strength because of the drama, he also changed his cigarette smoking, and has interacted with Japanese fans on the stage, that later, he admired Jerry even more, and expressed that in the future, he doesnt rule out that they both might work together to do a movie. Vanness is set to return to Taiwan from the US to attend Saturday's "Biao Xin Li Yi" Concert . With his eight-pack muscles, the "Dancing King's" charm will reapppear, and not restricting on wearing light, that Vanness' future might have full of posibilities.

F4ever idols or F4gotten here?

They reunite after 3 years to storm Hong Kong and Japan, but can F4 still re-ignite that pitch-fever passion among fans here?
FOR three years, they went their separate ways, charting personal career paths.

By Chang May Choon and Lee Xin En

13 April 2006

FOR three years, they went their separate ways, charting personal career paths.

Then last month, Taiwanese group F4 reunited to stage three concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

So is it really Forever 4 for another stab at the music charts?

Or more like Faded 4, a tired old boy band desperate to make a comeback?

In Japan, at least, there has been a renewed interest in F4, which consists of Jerry Yen, Vic Chou, Vanness Wu and Ken Chu.

It all started early last year with the official launch of its first album, Meteor Rain, which had originally been released elsewhere in Asia in 2001.

The album went up to No 3 on the local Oricon Chart's Top 10 Best-selling Korean/Chinese albums, and it was the only Chinese act among Korean favourites like Ryu Si Won.

An official international fan club, F4ever, was also formed.

F4 fever surged again with the broadcast of the group's 2001 TV drama Meteor Garden on Japan's free-to-air TV, followed by a promotional tour in August, with Vic and co-star Barbie Hsu.

SELL-OUT CONCERTS

With F4's Hong Kong concerts sold out for three nights, it looks like a region-wide comeback is in the works.

Jerry said in a video clip posted recently on their international fan site: 'It's been years and we're gathered together again.

'We've worked very hard (for their Hong Kong concerts) and we hope to take our show to other countries too, like Japan and Korea, so please look forward to it.'

So can we expect F4 fever to sweep Singapore again?

After all, its popularity soared to an all-time high here after Meteor Garden was broadcast in 2001.

Hundreds of fans thronged Changi Airport to welcome the boys and more queued overnight to get their autographs.

Rabid fans also filled up F4's first concert here in 2002 and two more in 2003, way before F4 mania hit other countries.

Then the group went quiet.

Its last album Fantasy 4ever was released in 2002 after its last drama Meteor Garden II.

Except for product endorsements like one for Pepsi, the four members rarely appeared in public together.

With such a long hiatus, would Singaporeans still care enough to welcome an F4 comeback?

Die-hard fans say yes, and so do some media and industry sources The New Paper spoke to.

HIM Music's chief promotions manager Merisa Chu said: 'Their popularity may have dipped, but F4 used to be a legend, so no matter what, they'd still have their hardcore fans.'

Added Lianhe Zaobao journalist Ng Chin Chin: 'The selling point is in having F4 as a group. As long as the four of them are together, F4 still has appeal.

'Their concert in Hong Kong was such a sell-out, so I don't foresee them faring any worse in Singapore.'

Over 50 Singapore F4 fans flew to Hong Kong for this concert last month.

PAID OVER $2,000

F4 fan Diana Chng, 24, said she 'begged insiders to get concert tickets' and forked out over $2,000 for her trip.

She believes F4 is still popular, saying: 'CNN does not interview anyone whose popularity is dying'.

F4 appeared on CNN's Talk Asia series last month, after Japanese-Taiwanese heart-throb Takeshi Kaneshiro and Korea's Rain.

Concert promoters, however, are less confident of the group's drawing power.

The two biggest promoters here, Hype Records and Unusual Productions, have no plans yet to bring F4 in.

When asked if they think F4 still has appeal here, both spokesmen said they have yet to survey the market.

One obstacle could be the group's new asking price.

An insider who declined to be named told The New Paper that for its comeback tours, F4 now commands a 'sky-high fee' that local concert promoters cannot afford.

He said that the show will require a turnout of 20,000 just to break even. Singapore's largest venue, the Singapore Indoor Stadium, can only accommodate up to 10,000 people.

Also, there is the issue of whether F4 is still interested in the Singapore market, he added.

Hype Records successfully organised F4's three sold-out concerts here in 2002 and 2003.

But its spokesman, Mr Jonathan Tan, said there has been 'no request from Taiwan so far' for F4 to perform here.

Understandably, F4's appeal here is no longer a guarantee as it was in its heyday.

Since the group split, its Singapore fans have either switched camps to other boy bands like 5566, or jumped onto the Korean wave fronted by hunks like Bae Yong Joon and Won Bin.

The biggest fan club here, Only F4, once had 48,000 online members, said its vice-president Ms Stephanie Loh.

Now, only 200 to 300 active members are left.

Still, eight out of 10 fans said they would still pay to see F4 in concert.

Said Ms Liu Mei Feng, 21: 'The F4 trend is only fading because the members keep doing their own things instead of working as a band.

'But I still keep an eye out for news of F4 and Jerry Yen.'

Ms Joey Fung, 20, and Ms Lim Shiqi, 17, said 'F4 is so over!'. They have moved on to newer idols, like K-pop acts TVXQ and Fly To The Sky.

But Ms Janice Toh, 31, said she would still buy tickets for old times' sake.

'It's been a long time since I last saw Jerry, and he's still the one and only star I've ever gone crazy over.'

What's keeping them busy

JERRY YEN, 29
The model-turned-actor has been busy filming Taiwanese medical drama White Tower.
He has also been making headlines for his supposed romance with supermodel Lin Chi-ling.

VIC CHOU, 26
Currently in a high-profile romance with Meteor Garden co-star Barbie Hsu, Vic has headlined a number of TV dramas, including Love Tornado, Mars and the upcoming Silence: Love Code, opposite Korea's Park Eun Hye.

VANNESS WU, 27
His last movie Dragon Squad (2005) received lukewarm reviews and, instead of a follow-up to debut album Body Will Sing, he has been guest starring in music videos for his pals Nicky Lee and Lee Hom.

He was recently spotted with Korean actress Park Eun Hye and some female models at a Taipei nightspot.

KEN CHU, 27
He was in the news recently for dating actress Kelly Lin, his co-star in the drama Yuan Dong Guo Ji Da Shen Pan (The Far East Trials). The former Japanese restaurant captain has also released a culinary book and is said to be vying for a leading role in an upcoming Japanese drama.

Brokeback Mountain fever continues to rage. In the aftermath of the gay romance flick, not only has a new slang term "don't bui," or "brokeback," come into common parlance in Hong Kong to describe homo-sexual relationships, but "don't bui" tycoons in Hong Kong now feel less restrained in expressing their desire for showbiz heartthrobs.

According to Hong Kong media, a pimp offering services to high-society types revealed that in the eyes of wealthy gay entrepreneurs, Jerry Yan of F4 is the top choice to have a fling with. Bids for a one-night-stand with the star recently reached NT$20 million. The reason for Yan's popularity is that he has a body of a stud and a refined face like an angle.

Two other members of F4, Tsai Tsai and Wu Jian-hao also appear on the wish list of male stars to have sex with. Seems like the Taiwan four-piece boy band has hit the soft spots of Hong Kong's wealthy and powerful.

Gay TV host Kevin Tsai is also on the rise to fame and fortune. According to a local online poll, the intellectual-turned-entertainer beat off strong competition from Wang Lee-hom and Takeshi Kaneshiro to become college students' favorite male star.

"Oh, it's such a beautiful surprise," Tsai told the press as he gracefully accepted his title.

In May, Kangta and Vanness Wu will begin working together for their album. SM Entertainment said, "In the end of April and beginning of May, we will start planning after a few conferences." It is known that because of H.O.T, Kangta's popularity has been great everywhere. Vanness, from F4 has also been popular ever since the tv drama Meteor Garden.

The two of them have not decided on the group name yet. Regarding this, SM said, "Right now we have several kinds of names to choose from. The possibility is using a not that long English name." The 'star-meeting-star' Kangta-Vanness group has already been talked about in the beginning of the year. Now Asia will wonder what kind of dance stage they will bring us.

Singer Kang Ta has formed a group with singer Vanness Wu (Wu Jianhao in Chinese), a member of the Taiwanese group "F4," with the purpose of sweeping the Asian music market together.

The new group "KANGTA & VANNESS" will release its first album, which was produced by South Korean producers, across Asia in mid-May.

Music fans are excited at the fact that two top stars in Asia have joined efforts. The collaboration between Kang and Wu was anticipated when the "Golden Melody Awards" ceremony, the largest music awards ceremony in Taiwan, was held on May 8, 2004.

With the awards ceremony giving momentum, they became friends and promised to "engage in new kinds of activities to surprise all of Asia together." Since last year, they began systematic preparations for their joint activities.

An official from SM Entertainment attached importance to the collaboration between these two Asian stars, saying, "Their formation of a group is not a mere outcome of cooperation between two big stars in Asia, but has presented a new formula for activities through cooperation between a hallyu star and a star from the Chinese-speaking region. Their cooperation is also very meaningful in terms of cultural exchange, as they are expected to provide fans all over Asia with high quality music content produced with Korea's outstanding technology."

In order to prevent accidents, Vanness was forbidden to wave his hand and ask how the fans are doing? Vanness was at Tokyo on the 2nd to promote for his concert. Close to 500 fans went to see him get off the plan, causing chaos at the airport. Staff has disclosed that Jerry Yan and Ken Zhu might also become honored guests at the concert.

Vaness will have a solo concert in Japanese Tokyo international convention center on July 8 and 9. On the 2nd, once he got off the plane, he was warned by staff to: "Please don't wave your hands, and don't get too close to the fans." Really nearly 500 fans squished together and screamed when they saw him - Vanness was also scared.

Vanness wil be in Japan for three days; on the 2nd, he's holding a reporter meeting, on the 3rd, he's shooting for the posters, on the 4th, he is going to fly to Thailand to prepare to do MTV Asia awards performance. He expressed that this is the first time he's doing a solo concert, so he's excited and anxious.

Vaness looks at this concert as very important - originally it was supposed to be a 2 hour performance, but it was extended to 3 hours. Besides diligently working on the content of the concert, he also invited Jerry Yan and Ken Zhu to appear.

Boyband F4 were interviewed on the CNN program Talk Asia last month. On the program, which aired last week, the group revealed a level of vacuousness in conversation with host Lorraine Hahn that needed to be seen to be believed. When asked about future prospects, band member Vanness, who was brought up in the US, said the band hoped to break into the US market. Good luck to them, but good looks, a floppy hairdo and boyish charm can only achieve so much.

Korean-Taiwanese collaboration

Korean singer-actor Kang Ta (Shinwa) and Taiwanese-American Vanness Wu (F4) have formed a group called, what else, "Kangta and Vanness." The group will release its South Korean-produced first album sometime this month across Asia. The two artists became friends when they met during the 2004 Golden Melody Awards held in Taiwan. Shortly after this meeting, they promised to "engage in new kinds of activities to surprise all of Asia together." The partnership has been hailed as revolutionary because this is the first time that a hallyu star and an artist from the Chinese-speaking region are working together under one name.

"H.O.T fans objects to me singing with Vanness."

With Taiwan's popular F4, Vanness Wu and Kangta are to especially work together as a group but they revealed the bitter objections that the fans had.

On May 6th, after performing in the MTV Asia Awards 2006, Kangta received an interview and said, "After the group news spread, the H.O.T fans expressed opposition." Fans hoped that they will forever have the memory of him as a H.O.T member.

Moreover, Vanness said, "I heard that F4 fans were happy regarding this Asia music and the two member group. During the two months preparing for our first album, Korean Vanness fans and Kangta fans were preparing food for us together and gave us encouragement. Thus we obtained a very big strength and I'm very happy."

On May 2004's Taiwan music award ceremony, Vanness meets Kangta and expressed that he has interest in Korean music and hope to work together. Later they secretly established this two member group.

Kangta and Vanness will release their first album in Korea that contains Korean, Chinese, and English songs. On May 10th, they will hold a fan meeting at Seoul to officially start their activities.
