Taiwanese drama “Meteor Garden (流星花园)” will always have a special place in its viewers hearts. After all, the boy band F4 (Flower Four) had been born from it. Unfortunately, after their disbandment, the members have rarely met. Luckily for fans, both Jerry Yan (言承旭) and Vanness S. Wu (吴建豪) reunited recently!
Jerry and Vanness were invited to be guests on variety show “Welcome Back To Sound (朋友请听好)”. The reunion of the duo was highly anticipated by fans, mainly because they’re rarely seen together publicly. In addition to singing the ending song of “Meteor Garden”, they also revealed what had led to F4’s breakup all those years ago.
Jerry and Vanness rarely record shows together. So, this reunion was something special for both of them. After all, the last time they met was apparently 4 or 5 years ago, according to Vanness. Jerry even admitted that initially, the reunion made him feel like he had returned to 20 years ago. “I think this show has brought me closer to him,” Jerry said.
However, it did make people wonder what exactly led to F4 breaking up. Vanness decided to share their reasons. Unlike groups now, F4 was created to film “Meteor Garden”. As a result, the members never really got to know one another. “If we really felt safe at that time and trusted each other, I think it might be different now,” Vanness confessed. “If we were more accommodated and had others been more tolerant and considerate of our feelings, I think it may be different now.”
Both Jerry and Vanness frankly admitted that the comments from people were often amplified by the members themselves. “We (would) suddenly become jealous of each other, to the point where everyone had (this complex),” they said. They were all relieved when the group finally disbanded.
After many years of being apart, both Jerry and Vanness are not adverse to bringing the boys back together again. However, neither confirmed if there will be a meet up soon. Both claimed they were fine with it, but weren’t sure about the others.
Even if the quartet won’t bring F4 back together, fans would surely be delighted to see the group reuniting for a short while. However, that reunion will be a pipe dream for now.
