Most of you may know BTS, TFBoys, or Fahrenheit, but the real OG back in the day was F4, a Taiwanese boyband. F4 was known not only in Taiwan but all over the world for his good looks and the drama series. Meteor garden which was based on a Japanese manga. Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Ken Chu, and Vanness Wu were wildly popular in 2001 ever since they appeared on Meteor garden and the members have remained as A-listers ever since.
Since 2008, the group has been inactive but the four have remained good friends. However, the four have been so busy with their own lives and careers that meetings have been few and far between. The last time they appeared together as F4 was at the Jiangsu TV Spring Festival in 2013. On October 30, they will meet again after seven long years at the Jiangsu TV 1001 Night Festival.
A 19-second clip of the four men (shot separately, of course) confirming their upcoming appearance soared to the top of real-time searches on multiple social media platforms, including Weibo.

“What does Jiangsu TV do [F4] keep coming back together? Not that I’m complaining! “one netizen joked. Others have called it the ‘reunion of the century’, with some netizens ‘warning’ other popular boy groups, like TFBOYS and NEX7, that their idols should” watch their backs because the original heartthroats are back. “
Fans commented that 43-year-old Jerry is the only F4 member who looks exactly the same as he did almost 19 years ago. “He takes care of himself so well that he looks exactly the same, only more manly,” said one netizen. However, fans aren’t that forgiving of Ken, 41, and Vanness, 42 saying they both look like “absolute dudes” now. On the other hand, Vic, 39, has been dubbed “the guy who looks like he went from millionaire to billionaire.”
F4 also released three albums, Meteor Shower, Fantasy 4ever Y Waiting for you.
According to Forbes, F4 has sold 3.5 million copies of their first two albums across Asia as of July 2003.
