Did you know that F4 will be starting a new drama?
I saw it in one of Vanness's site. He said that after filming his new movie "Dragon Squad" F4 will be working again in a new hit serie but I don't know when that will be because since Vanness is still in L.A., USA working on his second album and Vic is filming his new serie as well as Jerry and Ken so I'm not sure.
I remember the site was http://www.vannesswuvann.proboards38.com but it doesn't seem to be working and I just saw it like last week.
The leading lady is Barbie Hsu, it is someone else weeping.gif ....that's sad bUt it's okay.

Hello,

--I see that many of you are concerned about Ken’s flu recently, in here I would like to mention that while Ken was filming his movie in Beijing, the weather has been extremely hot, yet the setting was set in the winter, therefore he had to bear the extreme heat with winter clothes, used up a lot of his energy as well as long hours of work, thus he became sick. He has been given lots of time to rest now, and he is recovering slowly. Thank you all for your care and concern. Soon after he will be working with voiceover editing and production work. Many of you have also enquired about Ken’s appearance in the Shanghai Radio event? He will not be attending so not to disrupt his recovery in order for him to be at his best state for work.

--With Vanness’s birthday coming up, he definitely recognizes everyone’s birthday wishes and
support all along. New plans for work has been slightly delayed, therefore he will be spending
his birthday in USA with friends and family. He should be back in Taiwan late August to resume work.

--Zai Zai’s new TV series is filming smoothly, details about this show and news will soon be
released through the media so won’t explain in detail here. We have received invitations to
attend Zai zai as spokesperson for Mainland candy brand event, however things are still under negotiation. If all goes well the event should be sometime in September.

--Jerry’s new TV series is also going smoothly. Currently there are four overseas places he will
be visiting for Oral-B promotions as spokesperson. Date and time are still under negotiations
and will be confirmed shortly. Yanzi’s Mainland concert is not until next year.. isn’t it a little early to have all details confirmed? S&K Concert? We’ve never heard of that, no need to say more…

Linda thinks of Zai Zai while kissing Bao Long
"White Tower's" first kiss, shyly says that she wants to kiss Zai Zai the most


Linda will be giving her first on-screen kiss to Jerry Yan in "White Tower" but in her heart she's thinking of Zai Zai?!

Linda, a singer and host, has been free from rumors since she started out 4 years ago and she has never dated celebrities inside the entertainment circle. Yesterday (4th) Linda generously revealed, "I don't exclude dating a celebrity. Actually, I really like Zai Zai." The usually pompous Linda showed shyness like many ordinary girls.

In "White Tower" Linda has a crush on Jerry and in the future the story will require them her to have kissing scenes with Jerry. She laughingly said, "His lips might have some botanical flavor on it." At the same time she said that if the story requires her to have a french kiss with Jerry, she will consider fans' feelings and the criteria of a nurse and kindly decline the director's request. What if the person she had to french kiss was Zai Zai? Linda replied acting serious, "Then I must coordinate with the story's needs. An actor has to be serious ma!"

Two weeks ago the windows oo Linda's car was smashed and she lossed her make-up box and video game. When talking about it Linda couldn't hold back her complaints, "I went to the police station at 8am to report the case. They actually told me to come back in half an hour because the fingerprint identifer worker isn't on duty yet. When they heard that I was an actress and singer, they asked 'What songs have you sung?', 'What programs did you host?' I just directly said, 'A music program you guys never watched before lah!'" Linda is most upset about the limited edition make-up box she lost, scolding the thief for his or her conduct in her heart because she can't buy another one.

The grand opening of Hong Kong Disney will be on September 12. Guest list for those invited to this crucial event starts to be released. According to the sources, there is a special guest list for Southeast Asian region including Japan, Taiwan and Korea in addition to a group of Hollywood super stars. Although Twins are unable to join the big show on 11th evening, they will cope with other colleagues to sing Disney’s all time hit “This is a small world”. Besides, Joey Yung will be the only Hong Kong female singer who will take part in the performance.

According to what has been told, Disney has set the guest list for its opening ceremony long before. In order to match with Disney image for its worldwide coverage feature, special guests invited are all reputable international super stars. Invited from Japan includes Kimura Takuya and his wife Shizuka Kudo, who are well-known for their love caring family. On top of them, Japanese famous singer Ayumi Hamasaki will also be invited. Artists from Korea will include Li Ying Ai, Chi Zhen Xi and the current popular singer, Rain.
Guests representing Taiwan will be the continuous big hit F4.

Since all these guest artists are top celebrities, Disney intended to request assistance from Hong Kong Tourist Association for sending their “Ying Xiong Tie” (earnest invitations). Nevertheless, final decision has not yet been affirmed. In respect to Hollywood super guest stars, rumors said they would include Julia Roberts, Johnny Depp, John Travolta, etc.

Twins will not be able to join Jackie Chang, Joey Yung, Eson Chan and Andy Hui to perform on the 11th evening due to schedule conflict. However, they will cope with Leung Lok Sze, Kwan Chi Bin, Yumiko Cheng and Boy’z to sing Disney’s all time hit “This is a small world” in Mandarin, Cantonese and English. Days before, they commenced on shooting the MV at Disney. Completed MV will be broadcast at the opening show. As to Kelly Chan, she can’t make for this event due to time conflicts. However, she will join Kellyjackie to film the MV for “He invites me to Disney” in these few days.

I have just went to see the messages you all left, everyone seems to be quite uptight, i had no choice but to put down other things to leave a message for you all.

For the pepsi event on the 23rd of September, the management company have got some tickets from Pepsi and we have decided to release this public tickets to the F4ever fanclub by picking applications, making this a priviledge to members who have paid for the fanclub fee. Another thing is also that, the main theme for this event this time is Pepsi, Pepsi would be using the past methods of purchasing Pepsi to pick and exchange for tickets. Pepsi would be announcing this soon, please take note.

The reason for the forming of this official fanclub is to gather the unity of all F4 fans around the world. It is also to compromise with all F4 event around the world to make a more organised event. Other than giving out the VIP card, the fanclub would be giving members privildges in all F4 promotions in future. We hope the official fanclub's service can bring members much more convenience, for example, F4's world tour concert tickets booking or public events priority tickets.

To join the fanclub is every choice of a individual fan, the company will not force anyone's decision.

F4 Popularity Zooming Asia

August 7, 2005
Translated by f4modejapan, onlyvanness.proboards18.com


As everyone knows, F4 visited Tokyo in a very hot season. Now, after they left Tokyo, the country became hotter. Eveywhere you see within the vicinity of Tokyo, you feel the presence of F4. Fabulous F4 hot items are on sale and even the DVD of their films and concerts/shows have become in demand, and in fact have increased their sales. But eventhough, consumers never heard of any complaints because of its good quality.

A lot said that the recent on-sale F4@Tokyo Photobook is very expensive. Not all students afford the price, but they still saved from their allowances just to be able to have a copy of the once-in-a-lifetime souvenir from Taiwan-based superstars, F4. There is only one comment from a Japanese fan when a poster of F4 was exposed in one of the stores nearby, "those 4 people are cute, but if they wear black suit, they shouldn't be wearing white shoes"

There are also some observations from other fans who have bought their own copies of F4@Tokyo. The shot in Shibuya had a perfect ambience, the
shot of Vanness in throwing of the stones also was perfectly done, he has the good face that matches the whole atmosphere. But Outside the location seems to be not well-recognized like the shot in Shinjuku Shanghai where the place became small in the picture, but otherwise, the photobook was perfectly done.

Truly, since the time F4 released the controversial photobook, F4 already captured the hearts of the Japanese females and students elsewhere are unstoppable from comparing their own F4 collections.

An interview with Mr Mu ( a F4 @ Tokyo's photo artist)
"The Kiss-FM "radio station in Japan, named "15 candles" program,

Interviewer: When you first met F4, how did you feel toward them?

Mr. Mu: First, I noticed all of them are tall and long-legged. I have had much opportunity to take pictures of Japanese young stars, but, to tell the truth, I was amazed that they are really cool.

I: Every one is over 180 cm high !!

Mr.Mu: When they wear a suit they are really cool! That's great!

I: Do they have a kind of special impression?

Mr.Mu: Well, yes. The oldest Jerry made a strong impression on me. I felt that he has "aura" which is similar to (Mu Chun Tuo Chai - Takuya Kimura has)

I: They are all tall, long-legged, cool, and with a strong
personality, aren't they? As a photographic object, what is their charms?

Mr.Mu : Jerry's appearance is, how to say, very special. He radiates "aura" from head to foot.

I: He is the picturesque, isn't he?

Mr.Mu: Vanness is very active and naughty. He is sharp at poses.

I: This time Vanness cut his hair very short, didn't he?

Mr. Mu: Oh, yes. I was very surprised. I couldn't get much information about them so I recognized he was long haired.

I: New hairstyle fits him perfectly, I think.

Mr.Mu : Vic is very cute and sometimes has a shy smile.
It's also very charming. Ken is natural. When I was with him I felt happy. He always pays attention to those around him. Very good person.

I: Where did you take these pictures?

Mr. Mu: Vanness put on a cool suit and walked around. Even very cool boys who serves drink in this area turned toward him and threw him a surprised look. Like "How cool he is!" The suit really fit him perfectly.

I: How about their "off" working?

Mr. Mu: Ken loves a camera. As I took Ken's pictures lastly, we didn't have enough time.
But he insisted on taking much more pictures in the open. We went to a bookstore and saw photographical books together. He has very little difference between "on" and "off". All of them enjoyed this photographing.

I: We can see lots of natural _expression of them, can't we?

Mr. Mu: I'm sure that you can enjoy very good smiling face in this photographic collection.

Boy bands are still in business
Posted: August 9, 2005

By THAM AI MEI

As passé as they might be, boy bands have undeniably made quite a mark in Taiwan’s idol-based music industry. Among the more popular groups is K One. THAM AI MEI ponders the future of boy band power.

Blame it on the Beatles – they were probably the ones who started the boy band mania. The sight of girls screaming and having fainting spells upon seeing their favourite boy bands is nothing new.

In the past decade, boy band fever has spread to Asia as well. Taiwan, in particular, has a knack of churning out baby-faced band members who sell records by the hundreds of thousands even with little talent. An unfair statement? Listen to some of them and judge for yourself.

Even as the trend of forming boy bands seems to be fading, there are still a number of groups that are sticking around with relentless tenacity.

Energy posing after winning the Best Band award at the 15th Golden Melody Awards in Taipei last year.
What do people in the Malaysian music industry think of popular boy bands?

“I don’t think there are any hot boy bands anymore,” opines Kong Pik Shi, who is a marketing executive with Music Street. “If you consider May Day as a boy band then it is much better than F4 and Energy.”

According to Kong, K One is one of the better bands.

“There is 5566 and it used to be hot,” she adds.

Yong King Lieng, assistant promotions manager of eq music, says: “Actually, there are many new boy bands from Taiwan such as B.A.D., Tension and Nan Quan Ma Ma.”

Here is a look at some of the Taiwanese boy bands.

May Day is an award-winning pop rock group that is arguably one of the more talented bands around. The group of five is renowned for its loud, noisy brand of rock and youthful vibrancy.

While the boys have regular boy-next-door looks, they are nevertheless admired for making pop accessible to the youths in Taiwan.

Energy, on the other hand, has been facing a decline in popularity, no thanks to the departure of its most popular band member – Toro. Nonetheless, the band still has a small but loyal following amongst the Taiwanese teeny boppers.

And there is F4, which stands for Flower Four. To understand the extent of this foursome’s inexplicable appeal, you have to know that this bunch of well-built, smooth-skinned artistes have been accused of being “electronic heroin” to impressionable teenagers in China as girls were reported to have fainted and screamed uncontrollably at the sight of them.

The Chinese authorities were so worried about the mania the group would cause that they cancelled a few of F4’s concerts.

The group’s TV series, Meteor Garden, was banned after six episodes were aired on TV because parents thought that the boys’ characters in the show would set a bad example for their children.

Surely, members Vic Chou, Ken Zhu, Vanness Wu and Jerry Yen can’t be all that bad, given their angelic looks and beautiful hair.

“I don’t think I have ever known people who could be so perfect,” enthuses an F4 fan, S.C. Lee.

“The best thing about the group is that the members each has a different personality. You can find a strong and macho type in the group as well as a soft-spoken, gentle one,” she adds.

Members of award-winning May Day posing after winning the Best Band award at the 15th Golden Melody Awards in Taipei last year.
K One, comprising cherubic boys Gino, Darren, Kido, JR and Li Yang, recently launched an album.

Its debut album We R K One garnered mixed reviews. Fans loved their R&B tunes and love ballads while critics accused them of imitating Energy.

The members of 5566 are also making full use of their looks. The four remaining members (Rio Pang left the group after meeting an accident) recently starred in TV series Mr Fighting: Fighting for Love.

The group also starred in Taiwanese soap operas West Side Story and My MVP Valentine and has two albums – Boyfriend Bang Ai (Boyfriend’s Good Love) and C’est Si Bon – under its belt.

Tension is a cutesy quintet that churns out smooth R&B tunes and does synchronised dancing.

Perhaps, the one thing that puts Tension, comprising Andy, Raymond, Brian, Jimmy and John, ahead of other boy bands is that it has R&B maestro David Tao as mentor.

B.A.D clinched a recording contract soon after taking part in a band contest in the United States and it now has two albums in the market.

Other boy bands to look out for include Jay Chou-backed Nan Quan Ma Ma and rap group Machi that are noted for their hip hop style.

While the demand for boy bands seems to be fizzling out, music fans can hardly forget The Little Tigers (Xiao Hu Dui in Mandarin) and LA Boyz – arguably two of the most popular Taiwanese boy bands in the mid-90s.

The Little Tigers comprising Alec Su, Benny Chen and Nicky Wu had all the requisite good looks, agile dance moves and passable vocals. Their success formula was based on the 1980s Japanese boy band sensation Shonentai and Taiwanese fans lapped up the Tigers’ radio friendly music.

Wu soon decided to go solo and the trio split up in 1995 after 11 successful albums.

Taiwanese-American rap group LA Boyz with members Stanley Huang, Steven Lin and Jeff, caused quite a stir with its brand of westernised rap music and oodles of American charm.

Unfortunately, the group disbanded in 1996 and a few of its members went on to establish themselves once again in the music scene. Huang has launched several successful solo albums while Lin and Jeff formed Machi.

Pure fluff some boy bands might be, but who would laugh at them knowing that most already have millions in the bank at an age when ordinary folks are still toiling for their retirement fund.

WU vs WU, F4 Taiwan vs F4 Hongkong, If F4 Taiwan has Vanness, F4 HK has Daniel


From the time F4 was launched way back Hanayori Dango times, they
became the center of attraction in asia. Who are they? What can they
offer? Since the release of their Fantasy forever album, a lot have
been astonished & never did know they can sing. They may not be
perfect performers, but who are perfect anyway?

When they decided to go on their ways as individual celebrities, fans
worried & thought F4 will not be as hot as they were during their
first exposure. They became quiet a bit, but when they started to
release their own films, the name F4 started its "SPARK" again.
Endorsements started to overflow, trying to get them for their product
because they know
increase of sales is possible if they get F4 as their models.

F4 are so popular that criticisms and bad news are always behind them.
What is this we heard that 4 girls try to imitate F4 and be the little
versions of them? And another one, Daniel Wu wants to expand and get
his own F4 version in Hongkong!

F4's popularity is not just in one country, it jumps from one place to
another. When one country knows the fame and magic these 4 people get,
other countries definitely ask for their appearances only to be able
to know them fully, and the countries that made them even more popular
extended up to Hongkong, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines
and even in Middle East countries, USA and now in Japan.

But as they always say, provenly, the originals always remains! The
Little versions whose average age range from 6-7 years young. Because
of being Trademarked as F4 little versions, they became a bit hot due
to curiosity, but copycats always have no place in loyal F4 fans. They
after few appearances and exposures were gone and disbanded. Having no
own identities will not go places. As the Loyal die hard fans of F4
said "We remain" - which means their support remains with F4 Only!

However, after little ones now old ones. They are almost the same age
with F4. If F4 became successful in Taiwan, and since it is their
hometown, group of 4 plans to bring F4 wave in Hongkong. After doing a
commercial together, Daniel Wu, Zhiwei, Cheng Zhi Lian and Lian Kai
were formed by a particular record company, thinking they can surpass
or make another F4 fame. These 4 guys are named Alive, the F4 version
of Hongkong. Since the news came out after their formation, a lot of
F4 fans from HK were dismayed by this. "Why do they have to be a role
copy cat of F4, why can't they form their own group and get their own
identity" one HK fan said. "If they will be labeled as our very own
F4 version, we'd rather support Taiwan's F4 than them bec. we better
support established "F4" than wanna-be F4." Exchange student in Japan
(from the Philippines),
Kimberly Santo, frankly said.

With the curiosity, Alive group might release an album soon to
surprise fans in Hongkong and probably might get Taiwan and other asia
market. Start of their exposure is to introduce themselves and reach
out to the fans in Taiwan for an important gathering.

Will they be accepted by Taiwanese? Let's wait and see.

Japan. A special edition magazine with large pinup of F4 are difficult
to buy now considering its out of stock and out of printing and sold

F4's popularity in Japan increases day by day because of their
excellent promotional items that you can find in local vicinities in
Japan. This is however the reason why they are easily loved by Fans
because even if F4 are not visible in the country, considering that
they have a lot of stuff to own, they are like having F4 by their side
24/7.

How F4 sustained Success despite of Going Solos?

A Group of BOys is a style of somewhat to mostly pop group featuring
about between 3 or 5 young male, but normally 5. But for this time, a
four-grouped boys evolve in the universe of Asia.

Equally important to the group's commercial success is the group's
image, carefully controlled by managing all aspects of the group's
clothing, promotional materials which are supplied to different
magazines), and video clips. Typically, each member of the group will
have some distinguishing feature and be portrayed as having a
particular personality stereotype - such as "the baby" "the bad boy"
the "nice boy" the "character", the "hippie out going" . The baby
being Vic Zhou, the Bad Boy being Jerry Yan in relation to his bad boy
image in Meteor Garden, The character being Ken (self-explanatory) and
the hippie outgoing type being Vanness.

In most cases, their music is written, arranged and produced by a
producer who works with the band at all times and controls the group's
sound, image if necessary to the point of hiring session singers to
record guide vocals for each member of the group to sing individually
(if the members cannot harmonize together well)

Some fans consider their music to be in some cases brilliant, the
commercial success of specific group does not tend to last long. But
indeed, with F4, no matter how separately they work, their existence
still evolve and fans seek more and more. F4 sustained their success
for straight years. It does happen that when you are in a group, often
one or more or the group itself decides to leave and seek a solo
career, particularly if they have the talent ability, and with F4,
they have sustained their SOLO success!

Zai Zai used to smoke up until the filming of Lovestorm, then he quit and was appointed an anti-smoking idol telling kids not to smoke & why he quit etc. Ken was photographed smoking while he was at his hotel on a private holiday to see some family members in Thailand (2003). Unknown whether he has quit or not - probably yes because he has never been seen smoking (in public) again. Jerry and Vanness are non-smokers. Both are health-conscious and love sports.

So now, all 4 are non-smokers yeah.gif

Hot Boys of Taiwan.......5566 & F4

Ultimate Test : The Group Phenomenon
2 Gether is known as the Great Boy Group, we will not say, as there is
no PERFECT! There are 4 members, there are also 5 members. 5 members
is a true definition to be called as Boyband. 5 is 5566, 4 is F4, but
still F4 is considered a Boygroup. Anyone with all-male group of 3 - 5
is considered a Boy Group!

Each member has a certain preset personality that is required for a
Good Boy Group : hearthrob, shy one, bad boy, cute, older brother type

The Babe-licious one can be Jerry Yan for F4 and Jason Hsu for 5566

The Shy Type can be Vic Chou of F4 and Sam Wang of 5566

The wacky Jerk can be Vanness Wu of F4 and Zax Wang of 5566

The serious one but yet with character can be Ken Chu of F4 and Tony
Sun of 5566.


Jerry Yan is a fan fave, but a lot of girls like Jason Hsu. Ken Chu is
not the outright hearthrob of the group, F4 because he may not be as
goodlooking and he is very serious type that fans can be intimidated.
Wonder if Ken is a nice guy though many girls like him but many also
have moved to Jerry or Vic or Vanness. Tony Sun is known as the "nice
guy" of the group. This would automatically put him in the category of
the nice one.

It is a formula that has been more and more successful than any other
tests or experiments in the laboratories. Hot guys (plus) nice voices
(plus) great moves (plus) is a total of Great Group! There are lots of
examples that can best attached to Great Group. There is 5566, F4, K
One, 183 Club and even a new group called Alive! The list goes on and
on as group of boys start to increase exposures and introductions. The
groups mentioned above have always been on top of the charts and
selling millions with their projects and
albums streaming with heart melting lyrics and rock heading moves.

Although these groups are more likely considered as boybands, they
seem to want to stay away from such image. They have their own
respective crowds. They are considered according to poll surveys and
interviews the even more popular in respective countries. 5566 seem to
be most known in hometown, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and China.
Whereas F4 is more known in Korea. and recently Japan. And have equal
share of
audience in Hongkong. As for Philippines, they are the previous
favorites of Filipinos before, but according to interviews and poll
asia, popularity of F4 in Philippines have regressed, according to
sources, because Filipinos prefer to support individual members rather
than the group. 183 Club and KOne, both from Taiwan also are making
their own names and having their own followings as well. 183 Club's
song Xiang Xin Yong Yuan (Believe Forever) was a hit in Singapore.

The battle between the groups is not as competitive like that of the
fans. Most F4 fans dislike 5566 for various reasons and same with 5566
fans who dislike F4. And that is for the fact that because they put in
mind that F4 and 5566 are rivals, but the truth, they are not! THese 2
groups are friends in any way, both are Taiwan-based groups, both are
talented and both are loved by their own respective fans. And that's
about it, these 2 groups have the most respectable personality. The
pressure is on the fans because they are the one
who believe that these 2 groups are actually rivals, when they are
not! These type of groups are very similar in certain ways, but each
and every one of them try extremely hard to take their own original
road and to find their identity. However, even through this battle,
the fans keep coming and neither F4 nor 5566 like the idea of their
fans believing they are competitors or rivals because they actually
are not close friends, but they are civil friends.

The scream from the fans are really unbelievable, and when the
four-some walks by, or even the five-some walks by, the stampede of
crazy and wild fans is almost terrifying! In the recent promotion for
3rd album of 5566 in Taipei, fans didn't care if the weather/typhoon
was terrifying, they will queue to get the best seat and ticket for
the said event just to see the group. And with F4's invasion to Japan,
fans no longer care about their local artists, they now talk about
overseas artist like F4. F4 and 5566 share fans that give them all the
devotion they have. What is it that attracts so many young females to
these 2 groups? Why do these girls fall in love and devote their life
and money to these groups?

Falling in love is a little too strong of a term, but it does describe
a lot of fans. Correctly, it's more like admiration, inspiration and
idolizing. Hearing the lyrics to their many hits, most girls can't
help but say, "oh, how touching, very romantic" it's an automatic
reaction! In the new carrier single of 5566 "Long Time No See" on
their 3rd album which will be out on August 19, it's a touching song
with melodious tunes with matching "Sign languages" that no group has
ever done. Vanness Wu's soon to release album will also contain songs
that harmonize tunes that will feel a bit of attraction, that when it
hits you, you will definitely remain to be a fan.

WIth these 2 groups, all with unique personalities and styles, there
has to be one that suits your ideal guy. When you start to like one
member, it's difficult to avoid the other four or 3 for F4. Now you
become completely attached to them like a glue, you buy everything
they come out, merchandises, stuff with their names faces etc, you
love every little thing they do. Once you become a fan, you extremely
become addictive of your idols. They become a huge part of you! It's
factual! It's like an impulse for you to buy magazines with them,
posters with either their personalized signature and you go on line
for hours to vote for your favorite group/member in a poll survey on
the net. Once you look back at what you have been doing for that
period of time, you'd realize your life almost basically revolves
around them. If the power of being a fan can capture your mind to do
all these things, it has the power to control your fanatic actions as
well.

F4 and 5566 fans have incredible imagination and it's easy for them to
create their own little exquisite world and you can even see their
stories at http://www.winglin.net (all about fanfiction).

We also have asked fans from asia who among the 4 groups (F4, 5566,
Kone, 183 Club) for them is extraordinary. Most from Taipei and
Singapore answered K One and 5566, for Korea and Philippines, they
said it was F4. And for Hongkong, it was just almost with equal
results. "I truly and genuinely adore 5566 music & performances while
I like F4's looks, Vic on top of it" Virginia Chau, Hongkong.

For those people who don't understand professional competition, and
they get mad at a certain group for reason that they are rivals, its
wrong! Because F4 and 5566 are not rivals, again, they are friends!
Fans should not over-react to a situation where they bash one group
because of the group they love. It will be safe if you just don't
compare as to why you admire this group than the other one, cause
there isn't really definitive answer for fans as a whole. According to
Vanness Wu "we all need is a role model and we as artists are more
than happy to lend that helping hand to stop the comparison and avoid
enemies in the industry caused by people's wrong belief"

Any of who? Are you say "any of them" as in any Taiwanese male artists (since this is the forum you're posting in), or "any of them" as in F4? Either way, I wouldn't know the answer, but I thought I'd ask you to specify in case someone who can answer your question comes along.. ^^;

F4's Popularity Spread All Over Southeast Asia

Translated by F4modejapan, Only Vanness
August 18, 2005

Last APril 4, 2005, in the single Chart, Can't Lose you Carrier Single from the album Fantasy 4ever by F4 reached the top chart in Japan on its first release. But apparently, songs do have its end and its end ranked before it exited at # 13. But still not too bad.

F4's popularity started during their performance in Hanayori Dango. From then on, the popularity of F4 is not only from native land Taiwan, but it also spread like a disease in South East Asia and CHinese mainland.
In the Philippines, their 1st album Meteor Rain gained tremendous popularity and about 300,000 also have been
sold in CHinese sphere. In addition, the drama hanayori dango DVD - box have been sold out even at its expensive amount and has been in #1 on ranking with highest DVD on-sales.

With their recent visit in Japan and release of their photobook, fans from Southeast asia have increased tremendously and now become unstoppable. They are seeking f4 to unite in a special concert soon.

F4 continues to rave in Japan. Meteor Rain purchase still a hot item in Japan. A fan entered the store to buy her own copy when it turned out to be sold out. The following day, she almost had the same experience when items have almost reached out of stock. Items also available are stickers, memo pads and pens which also are hot items on sale in Japan stores.

F4 Fans, Un-united, F4 fans prefer to Support Individual Than Group, how true?]

F4 fans vs F4FANS? What is F4?

Since F4 started their career in the business, a lot of fans have already gathered and established themselves to be F4 SUPPORTERS. According to the 4 artists, F4 is F4 and nobody can separate them nor ruin them because they are F4! For them F4 not just stands for Flower 4, but the ultimate meaning of it "F4ever" "F4Life" pertains to lasting friendship!

Fans have thought this group will forever be intact as F4! When they learned Jerry Yan wanted to go solo, the rest followed, the fans were disappointed at first, but later on realized that the group just wanted to try things on their own and take credits for themselves. And true, the group as individuals made their own names as Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Ken Chu and Vanness Wu. But they have not removed the word "F4" from their system. They have released their own albums, have their own film projects and have proven their worths as solo artists. Still, remarkable with own names.

Since their solo adventure, fans who have admired the group already have their own favorite member and started to support their very own favorite member.

A lot of F4 fans have noticed especially in parts of Singapore, Philippines and Japan, that fans are not that well-connected and well-united anymore plainly to support the whole group, F4. Even clubs and groups organized on-line are of with connection to "an individual" member only.

WIth the recent visit to Japan, fans have liked Jerry Yan the most. Followed by Vic Chou because of MARS and the next is with equal support for Ken and Vanness. Japanese fans also do compare their favorite F4 member to another F4 member that starts a broken F4 fan-relationship.

In the recent survey for Album Chart released by Yesasia, fans started to react and disagreed on the chart specifically
those in Japan, Hongkong and Philippines.

For the fans, cuteness counts for plenty in calculating which member of the group is better. All seems to not smooth in F4 fans land. First, why one is better than who?

We are talking about F4 here. Fans should not compare each and every member because they have different bone stuctures that have resulted into a different facial angle. But the similarity of this one is all 4 are from F4. Being a big-time group that is F4, it is plainly about looking good and singing or performing!

And take note, its not all TEENS do the buying, young girls and even mothers are the group's most vocal fans, and they also have more matured devotees as well.

One last thing, If you really are F4 fans, unite and show F4 that all of you are also F4 in the true sense of a word.

Vanness is living in Los Angeles, California, and so is his family. He is now in LA, working on his 2nd album (he is here since late June 2005). Pretty cool & cute guy if you have a chance meeting him in real life cool.gif ! Really lively as his character in MG1.

Last APril 4, 2005, in the single Chart, Can't Lose you Carrier Single from the album Fantasy 4ever by F4 reached the top chart in Japan on its first release. But apparently, songs do have its end and its end ranked before it exited at # 13. But still not too bad.

F4's popularity started during their performance in Hanayori Dango. From then on, the popularity of F4 is not only from native land Taiwan, but it also spread like a disease in South East Asia and CHinese mainland.
In the Philippines, their 1st album Meteor Rain gained tremendous popularity and about 300,000 also have been
sold in CHinese sphere. In addition, the drama hanayori dango DVD - box have been sold out even at its expensive amount and has been in #1 on ranking with highest DVD on-sales.

With their recent visit in Japan and release of their photobook, fans from Southeast asia have increased tremendously and now become unstoppable. They are seeking f4 to unite in a special concert soon.

Translated by f4modejapan, OnlyVanness

F4 continues to rave in Japan. Meteor Rain purchase still a hot item in Japan. A fan entered the store to buy her own copy when it turned out to be sold out. The following day, she almost had the same experience when items have almost reached out of stock. Items also available are stickers, memo pads and pens which also are hot items on sale in Japan stores.

F4 Fans, Un-united, F4 fans prefer to Support Individual Than Group, how true?]

F4 fans vs F4FANS? What is F4?

Since F4 started their career in the business, a lot of fans have already gathered and established themselves to be F4 SUPPORTERS. According to the 4 artists, F4 is F4 and nobody can separate them nor ruin them because they are F4! For them F4 not just stands for Flower 4, but the ultimate meaning of it "F4ever" "F4Life" pertains to lasting friendship!

Fans have thought this group will forever be intact as F4! When they learned Jerry Yan wanted to go solo, the rest followed, the fans were disappointed at first, but later on realized that the group just wanted to try things on their own and take credits for themselves. And true, the group as individuals made their own names as Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Ken Chu and Vanness Wu. But they have not removed the word "F4" from their system. They have released their own albums, have their own film projects and have proven their worths as solo artists. Still, remarkable with own names.

Since their solo adventure, fans who have admired the group already have their own favorite member and started to support their very own favorite member.

A lot of F4 fans have noticed especially in parts of Singapore, Philippines and Japan, that fans are not that well-connected and well-united anymore plainly to support the whole group, F4. Even clubs and groups organized on-line are of with connection to "an individual" member only.

WIth the recent visit to Japan, fans have liked Jerry Yan the most. Followed by Vic Chou because of MARS and the next is with equal support for Ken and Vanness. Japanese fans also do compare their favorite F4 member to another F4 member that starts a broken F4 fan-relationship.

In the recent survey for Album Chart released by Yesasia, fans started to react and disagreed on the chart specifically
those in Japan, Hongkong and Philippines.

For the fans, cuteness counts for plenty in calculating which member of the group is better. All seems to not smooth in F4 fans land. First, why one is better than who?

We are talking about F4 here. Fans should not compare each and every member because they have different bone stuctures that have resulted into a different facial angle. But the similarity of this one is all 4 are from F4. Being a big-time group that is F4, it is plainly about looking good and singing or performing! F4 have 4 resident hotties, baby-faced Jerry Yan, square sweetie Ken, great smile Vanness and striking eyes Vic. All of them have chiseled features,charisma and appeal.

Fans argue on Who sings the best or who got the best vocal cords? Exclude Meteor Rain and Can't Lose you Songs because all of them got their own parts of the song.

I really have to agree with this article! I get so infuriated when i see individual fans of a F4 member criticising the other members in the forum. I mean, come on! They're still F4. And to me, i believe that their relationship is really like what they have in MG 1 and 2. Since the start, they have already emphasised so many times that they're basically 4 individuals working together on that album and shows. And even while they're still a group, Vanness and Vic had already came out with their own albums! And in their concert, they even sang songs from that album, to me, it proves that what they have been claiming to the public - all of it had always been true. It had always been that way, and will always be maintained in that manner.

Even now, when they are not working together as often as before, i believe their relationship is still as strong. I mean, come on! Vanness himself had already said. Each and every single one of them are very much attached to F4. When they're together as a group, i believe that they don't feel awkward with each other. In fact, they're loving it. Or so i hope.

And so far, among the four of them, i heard Ken having the most negative news. Is it really because his attitude has gotten bad, or is it really because all along, it had always been this way. I don't hear or read news about him behaving in this manner whenever he's with the other 3 guys. Is it because they're so familiar with each other, and have been good friends for the past few years, that they're able to understand the working styles of ever individuals together? I certainly hope that's the case.

What about the case when Jerry kissed Vic while celebrating Vic's birthday during a Pepsi event. Doesn't that show how comfortable they are in front of people?

I like to believe that they're really a bunch of four good friends, who have gone through many things together. After all, they're part of F4. The base that had propelled them to where they are now. What do you guys think about my thoughts? Am i really wrong to think of it this way?
