In a heartwarming surprise, Taiwanese boy band F4 reunited during Mayday's concert at the Taipei Arena, captivating an audience of 40,000 fans. The quartet's performance of their classic ballad, "Meteor Rain," brought back waves of nostalgia, as concertgoers joyfully sang along. Originally the theme song for the 2001 TV series "Meteor Garden," which catapulted the members—Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu, Vic Chou, and Ken Chu—into stardom, the tune resonated with a generation of fans.
"Meteor Garden," inspired by the Japanese manga "Boys Over Flowers," tells the story of a working-class girl navigating life at a prestigious school populated by wealthy, arrogant boys—F4, short for ‘Flower Four’. The series created a cultural phenomenon across Asia, leading to multiple adaptations in countries such as Japan, South Korea, and China.
After disbanding in 2009, F4 briefly reunited in 2013 for a special performance but had not shared the stage together until now. Mayday's lead singer Ashin shared the journey to make this reunion happen, emphasizing the efforts of all involved. The concert also featured F4 collaborating with Mayday on the song "The Song of Laughter and Forgetting."
Fans of the band were quick to express their excitement, with many taking to social media to reminisce about their childhoods and call for an official F4 concert. Yan reflected on the experience, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to reconnect over shared memories, while Wu echoed the sentiment of nostalgia and gratitude for the fans.
All four members of F4 remain active in the entertainment industry, and although rumors of a concert marking their 25th anniversary are circulating, official confirmation from the artists or management is yet to be announced.
