The Taipei Arena echoed with excitement as F4 members Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu, Vic Chou, and Ken Chu took the stage, performing their iconic ballad "Meteor Rain." This song is famously known as the theme for the hit 2001 TV drama "Meteor Garden," which played a pivotal role in the quartet's rise to fame. The massive crowd of 40,000 quickly joined in, creating a vibrant sing-along atmosphere.
Meteor Garden was based on the Japanese manga series "Boys Over Flowers," and followed the story of a working-class girl navigating her school life among four wealthy and arrogant boys known as F4—short for "Flower 4." The show not only achieved immense popularity across Asia but also initiated a trend of idol dramas, leading to multiple adaptations from Japan, South Korea, China, and Thailand.
After disbanding in 2009, F4 reunited briefly for a performance in 2013. However, this recent appearance marked a significant moment for fans and the band alike. Mayday's lead singer, Ashin, shared the challenges faced in reuniting the group and praised the effort put in by everyone involved.
Fans expressed overwhelming joy on social media, with many urging F4 to schedule their own concert. "It's crazy seeing [F4] perform again!" exclaimed one fan. "Are you crying already... because we are!" Others commented on the emotional impact of reliving childhood memories through F4's music.
While F4 members are all now in their 40s and remain active in the entertainment field, rumors of a potential concert next year circulate, celebrating their 25th anniversary. However, neither the artists nor their representatives have officially confirmed the news, leaving fans eagerly hoping for more reunions in the future.
