Vic Chou Says An F4 Reunion For Their 20th Anniversary This Year Could Happen Though It Would Be “Troublesome”
He's only being pragmatic.
It’s been eight long years since F4 performed together (‘cos a CGI-ed reunion just doesn’t cut it), and fans might actually get to see the group on stage again if all goes according to plan.
The quartet, made up of Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Ken Chu and Vanness Wu, shot to superstardom after starring in the massively popular Taiwanese idol drama Meteor Garden in 2001. And in yet another display of how fast time flies, the group will be celebrating their 20th year in showbiz in just a couple of months.
Vic, who attended a press conference for his new drama Danger Zone on January 13, was asked about a possible reunion given the milestone.
The 39-year-old shared: “We talked about this a couple of years ago but we didn’t decide on anything. It might be a little troublesome depending on how we plan it (…) F4 is an idol group so we’ll need to look the part if we do have a reunion. We’ll need to know what the current trends are for boy groups in terms of hair, outfits and so on. If [the other three members] want to do it, I’ll cooperate with them too.”
This news has taken the internet by storm with fans gushing about how they would love to attend an F4 concert again.
One remarked: “I was too young to pay for a concert ticket back then, but if they hold a concert now, I would go all out to make sure that I’m there.”
Some netizens, however, were critical of whether F4 would be able to, um, perform a full-length concert. “Jerry Yan is 44 and he probably hasn’t been going for singing lessons regularly. The others aren’t much younger too, so fans should learn to manage their expectations.”
Another added: “They can lip-sync the entire concert, but fans will get upset and say that they feel cheated after that. F4 will be stuck between a rock and a hard place if they go ahead with the reunion.”
Um, why are they being such downers?!
