VIC ZHOU IS JEALOUS OF F3

(reported by Nina Corpuz, Showbiz Extra, ABS-CBN, February 22, 2005)

Vic Zhou is jealous of F3 because he is the only one who hasn't made a movie yet. This he especially felt after watching the movies of the other 3. Although he has a new drama with Barbie Xu, it is still different to star in a movie. He has to better his acting skills so he could get a big break. Too bad he is the member of F4 who looks like Hero. Honestly, among F4, Vic is my favorite.

Notes:
-on the comment on improving acting skills, I am not sure if it was a personal comment by the reporter or if Vic had mentioned it himself
-Hero Angeles is a teen actor who people perceive to look like Vic

Zai Zai's bashful smile bedazzles sakuras

Following "Meteor Garden"'s broadcast in Japan, Zai Zai has gradually caught attention. His trademark bashful smile has mesmerized many sakuras and company Parco has hired him to be their spokesperson for March's White Day.

On White Day girls have to buy gifts for the boys, this is Japan's Valentine's Day. Every year Parco would invite a popular Japanese male celebrity to be their spokesperson. This is the first year they have invited an foreign celebrity to be their spokesperson. Starting today Zai Zai's posters will be seen in almost 20 important Japanese cities such as Tokyo and Osaka.

In order to produce a big picture for a large poster, 10 crew members came to Taiwan. The Japanese director felt that Zai Zai was like a prince charming brought to life from mangas. And Zai Zai's impression on the Japanese team was "Couldn't understand what they were saying" so a translator was needed for everything.

Yes, Ken do
Singapore The Straits Time, Life!
Feb 19, 2005

The Ringo Starr of F4 has joked about being a 'B-list' act, but Ken Chu may be the group's most accomplished member
By Foong Woei Wan

YOU could call Ken Chu the Ringo Starr of F4. Like the former Beatle, he is arguably the least popular member of the Taiwanese mega group.

Sure, he sends women into a swoon, but not to the same degree as the other three members - Jerry Yen, Vic Chou and Vanness Wu.

And he knows it. When he went on the Taiwanese talkshow Mr Con & Ms Csi recently, he joked about being a 'B-list' artiste.

But for all his humility, Chu, 26, may just be the group's most musically accomplished member, though he is the last of the four to have a solo album out.

His 11-track rock-lite album, On Ken's Time, is worth the wait. He composed one track called Revival and wrote the words to another one about his idol, Audrey Hepburn, titled Black And White.

A who's who of Chinese songwriters, from Taiwan's Wu Bai and Mayday to Singapore's Paul Lee Wai Shiong, penned or produced other songs on the album.

Taiwanese indie singer-producer Sandee Chen reportedly said she volunteered to work with Chu after she heard him play the guitar at a concert.

The album made its debut at No. 2 on the Taiwanese G-Music chart in early January. Record company Sony BMG declined to disclose sales numbers for Taiwan and Singapore.

Chu, who was born in Taiwan but lived in Singapore in his teens with a guardian, came to town yesterday on a three-day trip to plug his record.

He talked to Life! on the phone for 15 minutes yesterday afternoon before a press conference at Orchard Hotel.

Throughout the chat, he sounded like his usual unruffled self, even when he revealed that someone had stolen his iPod a few days ago. 'People always like to steal artistes' things,' he said before adding: 'It's okay if you get used to it.'

You could almost hear him shrug mentally, as he shared his thoughts on fame, music and why he has feet of clay.

How did you get this group of A-list songwriters and producers, from Wu Bai to Mayday, to work with you?
It wasn't me. It was my company. I've never asked for too much in these matters. My company wanted me to do something different musically, and got these heavyweight producers.

Who are your influences musically?
I was 11 when I listened to the Beatles. I don't like modern pop music that much. Everyone has different tastes.

You once talked about the travails of being a pop idol, and yet you would put up with anything for a chance to make music. If you could do it all again, would you still have signed to be part of F4?
If I had known what was going to happen, I probably wouldn't have. If you know what will happen when you press this red button, will you still press? Of course you won't. Of course you will say, 'Ey, what will happen if I press the blue button?'

In the past two years, F4's fame has spread to Thailand and Indonesia. Now your management is going to unleash you guys on Japan. What do you make of this?
We're going to Japan, but whether we'll be popular there, we don't know. I've never thought too much about this. Whatever the company tells me to do, I'll do it.

What's the one thing you always do whenever you come to Singapore?
Sleep. (Chuckles) I sleep quite comfortably in Singapore. Maybe I'm used to it here, so I sleep better.

If I look my friends up, I'll only add to their troubles. I go on a TV show or whatever, and all the reporters go to trouble my friends and to ring the doorbell of my guardian. I dare not look them up now.

You act, you sing, you cook, you are an avid photographer and you used to work as an assistant on the set of the popular variety programme, Super Sunday. What gives you the greatest satisfaction?
You get different sorts of satisfaction from different sorts of work. When you work in a restaurant, when people think your food is good, you'd feel satisfied. It's very simple.

You had a reported run-in with your female fans in Singapore two years ago, and another one in Taipei last month.
(Vehemently) That was a totally different thing.

Still, some might say you're a bad boy.
I've never said I'm a good guy. I think that my fans know that when I'm off work, I'm off work. I don't care how other people see me. It's no use caring. You can't possibly please everyone.

On solo time ...

But Ken Chu hasn't quite got the hang of facing the press without his F4 mates

NURSING a slight flu, Taiwanese singer Ken Chu was evidently not at his best during a press conference yesterday to promote his debut album, On Ken's Time.

However, the illness didn't seem to dent the 26-year-old's feistiness in fielding touchy questions.

Chu had been in the news recently for allegedly threatening to beat up a female fan in a restaurant in Taipei late last month. She had apparently come up to him to say "hi", but Ken and his assistants were said to have told her to leave or they would hit her.

"I have no feelings about (the incident) now and I will not elaborate about it," he said, deflecting further probing in a firm but polite tone.

Chu is the last member of Taiwanese pop group F4 to release a solo album. The quartet shot to fame in the 2001 Taiwanese drama, Meteor Garden ,and has since released two chart-topping albums.

He said he had bided his time getting his album out as he wanted to leverage on his success as an actor to boost record sales.

"In a way, it was lucky that I became popular first as an actor. If I started off as a singer, I might not have made it," he said.

But if Chu was relieved the long wait for his debut CD was over, he wasn't showing it, giving vague, non-committal answers when asked if he liked the album cover and music videos.

"It is hard to assess, because at that point (of production) I may have been okay with the look, but now that it's been done, I might feel it is not a true representation of myself," he said.

And singing isn't the only challenge he's facing going solo. Without fellow F4 members Jerry Yan, Vic Chou and Vanness Wu around, Chu is feeling the heat of dealing with the media alone.

"Sometimes when I am grilled by reporters at press conferences, or don't want to say certain things, I wish the others were around to share the burden with me," he said.

Ken practises signing autograph with both hands
F3 in HK but no time to meet

Ken is in Hong Kong to prepare for his autograph session this coming weekend. Although last yr, thousands of fans queued for Jerry's autograph, Ken said he's not pressurized.

When he was interviewed at Xin Cheng radio on 25th Feb, he revealed tat his fingers ached for few days after signing autographs for more than 4000 fans in Taiwan not long ago. So this time, he has practised to sign with his left hand too. He also expressed that HK fans are very enthusiastic, and he was scratched b4 and sprained his fingers when shaking hands with fans.

Although F3 will be in HK the next few days but Ken said they might not have the time to meet up. After this, Ken will be busy doing album promotions in China and South East Asia.

Report @ TW airport by jerryyan.org

I think there was a problem of the document so he had to wait in the van for so long! while fans waiting for him inside the terminal.

He wore a blue hat , black coat,green trousers, brown shoes and sun-glasses. No backpack!, he needed to carry big bags. I think he just come out of 7-11 and bought 5 mags!

I noticed that he didn't sleep well last night. The stuff in the bags seemed very heavy. The fans tried to give him more letters but didn't keep talking with him. LaoDa only nodded his head and smiled . A fan asked him if he was ill, he said "no". Then the fans kept saying "Jerry!!" . He looked at the fans and said that word "Jerry!" and "Hello". oohhh he looked at us so we forgot to ask him what we needed to ask.

Before getting in the immigration area, he said us,"881" and smiled. I think he may catch a cold (I noticed his voice was a bit changed)

After getting in the area, Fenny offered a hand to LaoDa to carry those stuff but LaoDa thought it was too hard for Fenny. Then another assistant came near by (he's male), so LaoDa asked him to carry instead of Fenny.

Finally, he waved his hands "bye bye" (I'm not sure if he also took off his sun-glasses)

(I've heard that LaoDa also specifically looked at the fans standing behind the poles) Though he looked a bit tired, he felt OK

Yan Cheng Xu changed the way out, leading to chaos!
Posted : February 25,2005

Yesterday, Yan Cheng Xu (wearing fisherman hat) arrived HK. More than 100 fans welcomed him at the airport

Yan Cheng Xu ,who always comes to HK with trouble, arrived yesterday afternoon, including his assistants and seurities. His exit way was changed so fans who waited him there had to run and run, it was chaotic!

At 12.50 yesterday, the name of Yan Cheng Xu was in the list of arrival passengers. He usually walked out of Exit B but he appeared unexpetedly at Exit A. When about 100 fan, standing by to see Jerry at Exit B, knew he would get out of another gate, they immediately moved so fast to Gate A and kept shouting. This led to chaos. Yan Cheng Xu wore a fisherman hat which we have seen before. He got sweet smile, also smiled to the fans.

passing Japan'sValentine's day there and he claims that his
relationship with hisrumored girlfriend Xu Wei Lun has never
changed, they are still friends!

ZZbecame the spokesperson for Parco for White Day, which is in
March.After the first poster was released the responses were very
ideal,attracting many Japanese fans to the company to take pictures
with ZZ'slarge poster. The 2nd poster was released yesterday in
Tokyo, Osaka andMing Gu Wu.

To shoot these photos Japanese photographers flew toTaiwan. When
Director Ri Ji saw ZZ, he praised him saying that he waslike a
prince charming brought to life from mangas. The shootinglocation
was in a hotel. Under the request of the director ZZ laid ontop of a
big bed. ZZ was very excited saying that sleeping is his )specialty.
When asked how he felt about working with a Japanesedirector ZZ said
laughingly, "Confusing because I don't understand whatthey were
saying."

Recently all F4 members have had rumors.Vanness and Vivian Hsu, Ken

Wang Lee Hom Invited to Perform on UK MTV Channel

Currently, the singer Wang Leehom had his first performance/visit to UK, on the invitation of MTV Channel. He held a mini personal concert in Europe and what was surprising was that American-born and raised Leehom did not choose to sing his English compositions, but instead sang his Chinese songs to the European audience instead. Upon his return to Taiwan, Lee Hom expressed that " I saw it as my responsibility to bring true Chinese music to the European audience".

This time Leehom chose to sing his Chinese songs "Julia" and "Love Love Love", which were well- received by the audience. Leehom also played the guitar and violin as he sang, clearly showing his "little heavenly king" abilities/status. Leehom says, " I actually planned on singing 2 English songs that I'm familiar with, but later on I realized that if i sing Chinese songs instead, then I can perhaps enable the overseas audience to become more familiar with and appreciate Chinese music, as well as the strengths of Chinese singers."

Leehom also specially chose to wear an outfit that has a strong oriental flavor, gaining much approval. Leehom says "This experience shows that Chinese songs can be well-accepted and liked by overseas audiences, and I feel that to promote Chinese songs is the responsibility of us Chinese singers".

Wang Lee Hom - As Long As He Lives, His Creativity Knows No End

Bearing the title of “Top quality Idol”, Wang Leehom released his highly anticipated album “Shangri-la” at the end of year. At the 15th GMAs, Leehom was awarded the Best Producer award for his work on his “Unbelievable” album. This latest post- award album is expected to be similarly extraordinary.

Once Leehom is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind will be “I’m Lovin' It” and McDonalds. This is all due to 4A advertising company’s highly successful strategy, and its comparable to Jay Chou’s VS territory. Sony music’s support of Leehom definitely surpasses their support of Jay Chou and Faye Wong, since both Jay and Faye only signed over distribution rights to Sony, whereas all of Lee Hom’s financial contracts are under Sony. In 2004, Sony music pushed Lee Hom towards the Japanese market, releasing the two albums “Dream Again” and “Hear My Voice”. “Dream Again” has new songs plus old hits, whereas “Hear My Voice” is a new all-Japanese album. From this we can see Sony’s ambitious plans for Leehom. However, even though Sony put in a lot of funds, Lee Hom’s promotions in Japan didn’t yield good results. After spending all the funds to no fruition, Leehom returns to the Mandarin battle-field.

Leehom’s progress in his music within the last couple years can described with 4 words: “Amazing/ Marvelously Quick/Improvement”. His every album includes many different types of musical elements, from Jazz to classical, from contemporary to spontaneous, from Hip-Hop to rap – every album represents his different musical developmental stage. What’s even more impressive/precious is that he’s always involved in the entire album: from creating the tone for the album, to composing the tunes, to producing and arrangement. He’s never depended on others to do these things. Just based on this point, Leehom is worthy commending and learning from. Naturally, his new album “Shangri-la” is also no exception, and for this album he even coined a new style that he calls “Chinked-out”. From this, we can conclude that he’s much superior to the “Forge ahead without thinking” Jay Chou.

The moving intro sounds like it can be the promotional tune for an award show. This music voraciously “opens” the album, leading into the other songs. The main point of this album is the “Chinked-out” concept, where the ancient Chinese music is mixed and integrated into Western music, creating a new style. Leehom’s choice to utilize ethnic music might have been due to the influence of “12 Girls Band” , whose music conquered Japan, Europe and the US, and this sort of style is really popular now. Thus it’s not surprising that Lee Hom decided to follow along this path too.

In his efforts to promote ethnic music, Leehom traveled to Yun Nan, Tibet etc to draw inspiration, absorbing the various music elements of each local place to create his new album. Once the song “Xin Zhong De Ri Yue” is played, we can tell that it encompasses the classic ethnic sounds, the 6 string piano and Yang Qin sounds can be heard throughout the whole song. With the addition of the sounds of the piano, the song thus achieves a suitably Western sound too. Stefanie Sun’s song “Shen Qi” created a wave of Indian music style that persisted till now. Wang Leehom is not to be left behind, and his song “Zhu Lin Shen Chu” has a richly Indian flavor, and the strong drum beats and the “yi yi ah ah” voices of the locals complements each other perfectly. The inclusion of rap adds to the perfection, making this an outstanding piece of work. Lee Hom once did a remake of “Descendents of the Dragon”, this time he incorporated his feelings from his travels into his song “Zai Na Yao Yuan De Di Fang”, adding onto and enhancing the original tune, giving a traditional tune a modern touch.

The Hip-Hop music of African-Americans can be widespread and thus traditional Chinese music can also be happy and proud of. Leehom deserves to be commended not just for his creative compositions, but also his courage for promoting traditional music to the rest of the world. Compared to other singers, Leehom’s valiant efforts can be clearly seen.

The album also contains a couple of classic “Leehom's style” ballads, like “Forever Love” and “A Simple Song”. These songs exude tenderness, and are full of deep and meaningful feelins. What’s different from other albums is that the slow songs in this album departed from Leehom’s past fanciful/embellished styles of singing, and like the song title goes, its just a “A Simple Song”. In addition, there’s the funky “Xing Zuo” where Leehom’s rap is outstanding.

"Shangri-la" is an album that’s full of concepts, and has a strong international flavor. When people is focus on the gossip about Leehom and A-mei, they should actually spend the time thinking about Leehom’s new album. After all, good music is the hard truth.

H: You should leave the university for many years. Today you return to the campus, what is your special feeling of it?

LH: I am missing my time of my studying life. Since studying can stimulate the brain for a while. It also can stimulate many creations inspiration. The university time can let you meet lots of friends. It possibly can be your forever friend. This kind of friend actually is very rare. I said it once again to everybody. Hope all of you can grasp these four years to study well using the school’s resources.

H: We knew that you studied at that time in Williams College already started to release the album. How you can manage the time of releasing the album and studying?

LH: Actually I study in US period is the work-study program method. I will release the album during my summer vacation. Since the new person just makes a debut, all did not have the time for practicing the performance. Therefore, I only could take advantage of having a vacation and flies to Taiwan in a hurry and returns to the school again.

H: Everybody can feel Leehom's music is become more and more to have his own style. The latest album "Shangri-la" has given us the very big pleasantly surprised. This Hip-Hop album combines into Chinese nationality's element. For me, I extremely like "The descendents of dragon". Why you have this kind of intense Chinese complex when growing up in US?

LH: Actually it is the feeling of all of my family member and the Chinese. Since nowadays the Chinese affects more and more in a big way in the world, and then I want to embark from my own special skill and emphasize the Chinese in the music aspect for the unique individuality. It possibly 10 years ago we also to be studying the European and American person's tidal current in the music technical aspect. Now we didn’t need to follow them. The equipment has already been advanced in Asia. The main point was the creativity and theme itself. If I release the album called Arthur boy, it possibly was the pure model and did not have the fresh idea. How to manifest our own from the cultural aspect characteristic? This is what I need to do it now.

H: For this album, you specially went to the Yunnan, Tibet to collect folk songs. When I saw the video of collecting folk songs, when I see you and said, when you listened to the national minority music, you also felt so shock. Can you specifically describe that kind of shocking at that time?

LH: Actually my focal point is putting on the national minority music. For me, this time is another attempt. This time to the national minority music attempt because many people have not actually listened to it before. China has many national minorities. Each nationality all has own musical instrument and singing method. For us, it is extremely preciously. The music resources multiplication to the people which makes the music all has the help.

H: The trip in Yunnan, Tibet really lets you have the big harvest. Actually our Chaoxian's folk music, for example Chaozhou big percussion instrument is also incredible. If you have the opportunity to come the Chaoxian area collects folk songs, has the possibility to unify the Chaoxian folk music for the new album?

LH: Let me listen of it. Maybe I will like it (Smile)

About doing the comparison, it is good of compare within the music scope. If it is comparing the scandal, I thought this time I lost to Jay (Smile). Hope the Chinese music people all had the friendship competition and do the Chinese's music well.

H: From the time you just make a debut till the present changes many styles. After changing the style, you had felt which communities was your music numerous groups?

LH: Before I feel the 1st four albums that I still studying in the university. Actually it is one kind of tempering the study sings skill and manufacture skill and so on. After I graduated only then gradually has the time to manufacture, the university time I spends lots of time of the musical drama. These had made the big change to my music afterwards.

H: Lots of people are listening to the song when growing up. I want to know how you look to the love.

Leehom in Hongkong Album Promotion

Leehom was recently in Hong Kong promoting his new album "Shangri-la". As his usual conservative self, he was very careful in answering questions from the media. Yet yesterday, at the (some music) event, he was unlike his conservative self, and kept shouting "I Love You" to his fans.

Leehom: In the past I was too introverted, and thus i lost out on many chances, but from now on i'll act on any opportunities that come by.

Perhaps its the effect of Leehom's expression of love to his fans - Leehom's album tops the G-music charts. (Champion)

Something about shooting mv and fans
This week's G-music charts is again topped by Leehom. This latest album has been on the charts for all 7 weeks since its released, always with decent results. Plus lately the mvs that are being plugged are the upbeat songs "Xing Zuo" and "Zhu Lin Shen Chu"

When Ken Chu accepted an interview yesterday he said that he has heard about having a concert but he doesn't know the exact date. Besides holding a concert in HK, the company also plans to have concerts in Japan and other South Asian countries. In addition, it's Ken's first time to come to HK to hold his own autograph session and it's also his first time he's been in such close contact with HK fans, so he's rather nervous.

ZZ received an NT$6,000,000 red packet from a mother
Posted: February 28, 2005

Ken Chu revealed that a mother gave Zai Zai Vic Chou an NT$6,000,000 red packet! However, ZZ didn't keep it and donated the money to an orphanage.

According to what Ken revealed in the February issue of Fans Magazine, a "mother fan" in Las Vegas gave ZZ a red packet with USD$200,000 inside. Yesterday reporters checked with F4's management company to get a confirmation.

This "Big Red Packet Case" happened in the beginning of 2003. At that time F4 was holding their first world tour in Las Vegas. Everyone was staring at the check stunned for half the day. For a time they suspected that the check was fake. "Who would give a USD$200,000 red packet for Chinese New Years?" It wasn't until after F4's management company asked for verification from a local friend before they knew that it was a check that had a guarantee for exchanging if it was fake. But afterwards they never met this rich "mother fan" again.

At that time this fan first left something at the counter of the hotel F4 was staying at and asked the workers there to forward it for her. But because this package stayed in its original spot, when the fan spotted F4's staff members in the lobby, she rushed to them and nearly cried out, "Did you guys get it? It's very important. I was originally going to give it to Zai Zai myself, but I was never able to meet him!"

When F4's manager saw this big of a red packet he was astonished and thought it was some joke. But after it was confirmed to be a real USD$200,000 check, he asked ZZ what they should do. ZZ replied immediately, "Of course donate it, you guys think I'll spend it?"

F4's management company expressed that F4 usually receives small gifts endlessly. The company and F4 persuades fans not to spend so much money on presents and instead donate to charity.

In addition, rumors say that F4's Vanness Wu secretly got back together with Vivian Hsu in the beginning of the year. Vivian who thinks lying causes much toil, just confessed last week and described herself and Vanness as " friends" that are as "close as 5 fingers." Her rumored boyfriend Vanness Wu participated in an HK event lastnight and confirmed once again that they are indeed "good friends."

Will there be any chance for him to progress further with this "good friend?" Vanness said that he can develop with many people at the same time. Would he get to know Vivian even better? He said he wouldn't for the time being, but when he has time he'll care for his friend. If he dates in the future will he announce it to public? Vanness expressed that he'd have to see if his company approved. He personally thinks it isn't that big of a deal.

Wu Jian Hao Firmly Asserts Xu Ruo Xuan Is A "Good Friend"

The rumors between Wu Jian Hao (Vanness) and Xu Ruo Xuan (Vivian) have been red-hot. First, it was said that they were dating and soon after, it was indicated that they broke up, with many different versions of the story. The two's relationship is confusing and lately, there is another report that Vivian flatly stated that she and Vanness are "shi zhi jin kou" (literally: ten fingers tightly interwoven) good friends, spilling the fact that they are dating on her own. However, yesterday night, Vanness repeatedly stressed that he and Vivian are just good friends, as if rejecting Vivian's good intentions.

In response to the question regarding his current relationship with rumored girlfriend, Xu Ruo Xuan (Vivian), Vanness replied, "I am good friends with her (But she believes that they are going out?) and in the past, we were also good friends. It's the news that merely wrote about us being together and then wrote about a break up afterwards. Everything was made up. (Is it awkward seeing each other?) No, it's very fun. (Could there be developments with Xu (Vivian)?) There is a possibility of development with a lot of people. (If you start dating, will you publicize it?) Depends on whether the company allows it. It's not really a big deal, depends on the circumstances. (Will you send a message to Xu (Vivian) to ask why she said you were dating her?) I will call her out of concern for a friend."

In addition, last night, Vanness took on the duty of a judge at Pepsi's << Xin Xing Zhong Ji Qian Shao Zhan >> (New Star Competition), highly praising the contestants' singing and performance. When asked if the contestant who imitated Zhou Jie Lun (Jay Chou) would place a limit on his personal style, he said, "Very good. Especially the magic, which will add points. His personal style can slowly be trained." Other than that, Vanness revealed that he will be returning to Hong Kong shortly to shoot a movie.

The stealing of Jerry Yan and Lin Zhi Ling's romantic photos uncovers their relationship
Posted: March 3, 2005

The rumors between Jerry Yan and a Taiwan model Lin Zhi Ling are boiling hot and they've been once caught on camera seeing a movie together. Recently when Lin Zhi Ling's cellphone was getting repaired, someone actually revealed photos stored inside the cellphone of her and Jerry in robes to the public. It seems that their relationship isn't an imagination.

Jerry and Lin Zhi Ling's rumors have been going on for a while. The new issue of "Yi Zhou Kan" published Lin Zhi Ling and Jerry's intimate photos taken by a cellphone. According to reports, a man wanted to sell these photos to the media for NT$500,000 (about HKD$126,000). This man said that his friend that worked at a cellphone repair shop gave him the pictures after seeing them.

Nesting in robes

In one of the images Lin Zhi Ling and Jerry were wearing robes snuggling and they were probaby in a hotel room. And the this photo was entitled "JC Macau," probably standing for Jerry and Chiling (Lin Zhi Ling's English name) and the place was Macau. In another photo, entitled "JBB Driving" Lin Zhi Ling's head is leaning on Jerry's shoulders with a glittering smile. Because the driver was on the right, they were probably not in Taiwan.

Regarding the exposure of these intimate pictures, there was news saying that when Lin Zhi Ling's cellphone was being repaired 2 photos were stolen. Lin Zhi Ling's Taiwan manager Jiang Yi Rong said, "We will think of a way to find this culprit and file a lawsuit."

Culprit scared to death

Jiang Yi Rong expressed that last month Lin Zhi Ling indeed needed her cellphone to be repaired. She said, "We've already found a lawyer to take care of this. That man who did this has already contacted our company saying that he was scared to death. He wanted to know what actions would be carried out, but we haven't contacted him yet." As for the robe photo Jiang Yi Rong said, "It should be from 3 or 4 years ago."

And Jerry, through his manager, Yao Yi Jun, said, "How'd this happen? The two of them get along well, everyone knows that. These photos shouldn't be regarded as odd. A group of friends playing poker and taking picture isn't anything big."

Jerry Yan and LZL, in love for 3 years

Papers doesn't cover fire, however, neat robes seems to open up a new "Yan Lin Lian" ! Yesterday, Jerry and LZL's intimate photos were exposed, but both company's managers are keeping the answers low-profile. Ya Lin Lian have started long ago since 3 years ago.

As the photo of Jerry and LZL wearing robes didn't state the time it was taken, it was hard to define how long ago was it. And it has given Jerry's manager Tao Yi Jun, space to turn about. She said, "I predict it's some long time ago, when a whole group of them went out to work and took it together, it cannot be explained as a couple taking intimate pictures."

No matter Tao Yi Jun and LZL's manager, Jiang Yi Rong continue to emphasis yesterday, that Jerry and LZL has known each other since a long time and it's a fact that everyone knows, the pictures were no big deal. However, an unknown person pointed out that, she has seen LZL in Jerry's place 3 years ago, "Just like a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship!"

This person who provided the news said, around 3 years ago, when Jerry and F4 was experiencing the red hot popularity of CTS's Meteor Garden, Jerry had borrowed and stayed in Gao Pei Hua, Irene Ming Sheng Se Qu's house. Around half a year or so, LZL would always appear at Jerry's house, "Both of them are just like boyfriend and girlfriend." And, this sentance also brought to attention of the rumours of Jerry's oppsite sex.

Irene yesterday hid and said, "Ahyo, don't ask me, it's been so long ago, i have long forgotten it. I know these 2 people, i cannot answer this question, please don't make things difficult for me, there are lots of people going in and out of my house, i don't remember if i've seen LZL."

In the past, Jerry and LZL have been shot going to QU Jiang Jie temple to pray together, LZL staying overnight at Jerry's place. Manager would always tucked it off by saying, "They're watching DVDs with a whole group of people, very good terms, very normal." Bringing it over with a relax sentance. Even for the Robe picture, manager has the answers very professionally too.

Tao Yi Jun finds that, 1. Mobile pictures are limited, you have to be near when taking a photo together, and their hands were very behaviorial; 2. There may be their other buddies outside of the picture; 3. Seeing from Jerry's hairstyle, it's definately not taken recently, so it could be when they were out for touring, work or fun it the past.

Tao Yi Jun's other artist include Patty Hou, which was linked to Jay recently. Both of them generously open up to their relationship. However, she laughed yesterday, she has never heard that Jerry was going to open up or anything. She and future management company parent, Fu Hong(Jolin's management co. parent) have been discussing that recently lots of flowers have been blooming. She laughed and said, " There isn't a need to handle, when would artists talk about it, there isn't a time."

However, the top model have already been a little fiery with her privacy leaked out with her spoilt mobile and have wanted to file a suit message through her manager.

LZL, who was once a innocent model, ever since her photos of going out with Jerry got exposed often, she got lots of attention. Azio have also invited her to host the "Liu Xing Zui Zhong" program, allowing LZL to step into the entertainment circle.

During the early stages, when LZL got interviewed by the media, she have ever felt heartbroken by the stress that Jerry have experience in the entertainment circle, "In the past, he used to be a cheerful person, he's always so happy when he is with us. However, after going into the entertainment circle, probably it's because of huge stress, he became very unhappy, i hope he can become happier."

However, in order not to let the outside world think she was "gainging popularity thru [making-up]", LZL started to talk less about Jerry, till the day her name was up in the skies, Jerry commented that he wanted to look for LZL to flim his MV during his album press conference. LZL was shocked and said in a unbelievable way, "Did he really say that? If he wants to look for me, as long as time permits, i will definately try."

A designer who works long-term for Ka Si said," Actually, everyone knows that Baolong and LZL is together, it's just that LZL seldom go singing or playing cards with everyone, thus, people who have seen it with their own eyes are less."

As long as the media ask LZL, "Which male artist you like best ? Which male artist you wanna work with? " Very often, she don't know what to say, however, recently when speaking about Jerry's interaction, she would say, "It's been some time since we have kept in contact."

Ka Si's parent, Hong Weiming, finds that both of them being together with one another is not a big deal, "I think this is a minor problem, and LZL has the rights to be with anyone, Jerry is a good child and he respects others, he is very serious in whatever he does, i think they knew each other around 2 to 3 years ago."

LZL is very angry that the photos are out exposed. As Sheng Nao Tong Shun expressed that it wasn't their company's workers who sold the pictures, Ka Si have requested them to make help in making investigations. As doing that is indulging in others' privacy, and have sent a warning through the lawyer.

Fan club congratulates Jerry and Lin Zhi Ling on their romantic relationship

After Jay Chou and Patty Hou were caught holding each other hands while shopping in Japan, right now everybody is turning their attention to Jerry and LZL’s relationship. In the past, both of them always denied their love rumors and insisted that they were just long time closed friends. But, recently, to boost sales volume, a magazine has published their intimate photos in robes, together with news that both of them are more than friends.

This makes LZL’s manager thinking about filing a lawsuit against this magazine. For Jerry’s fan club, some fans who support this love relationship said that “Jerry is a grown up man and we all respect his decision about his love life. If Jerry has found the one for him, we will support and congratulate him. We all want him to be happy even though some of us may not like LZL”.

This is a report from newspaper; not from Jerry himself.

Leehom shows his muscular body for his new MV
Posted: March 3, 2005

Wang Leehom's new album "Xin Zhong De Ri Yue" has been the best selling champion album since the beginning of the New Year, selling more than 150,000 copies. After the 7th champion single "Shu Lin Shen Chu" his company spent millions in shooting Leehom's 8th MV "Ai Cuo" using movie techniques. After "Shu Lin Shen Chu" and "Forever Love," Leehom is once again acting as director, making Leehom very happy. He said it's his first time to shoot 8 MVs for an album and 3 of them are directed by himself. Being able to combine music and image together is the happiest thing for a musician. Leehom also said that he hopes to be able to have a homerun, that all 10 MVs can be main so that everyone can experience the charms of "chinked out."

In this new MV Leehom make a big breakthrough. He revealed his muscular body and six-pack. This time Director Wang also filmed using different techniques from his past MVs. Because of this this MV's male lead is a boxer. In order to win the boxing champion he neglected his girlfriend. In the end the two broke up. And in order to show the music and story, the boxing competition is the focus. To show his best physique, Leehom has been working out a month before the shooting of this MV. He lifted weights for 2 hours each day, making Leehom, who's body wasn't bad before, even more muscular.

Leehom especially invited his good friend Vanness Wu to act in "Ai Cuo." They will have an intense fight against each other in the MV. Because the main focus of the MV is boxing, someone had to be the 2nd male lead so that they could fight Leehom. The first person that came into Leehom's mind was Vanness Wu, who had portrayed a boxer in "Star Runner," knows martial arts and is also a good friend. Vanness, who was in Thailand filming an commercial at the time, agreed immediately and also made a day free during a critical time so that he could fly back to film the MV. And in order to look good on camera, Vanness used the free time he had from the commercial to work out. In addition he also accompanied Leehom in shooting this MV from the beginning to the end, from this one can see how good their friendship is.

Xu Wei Lun Secretly Calls Vic Zhou On Her Mobile "Xiao Ming"

With the Jerry Yan-Lin Cheling camera phone scandal brewing hot lately, the press wondered what is happening to the other F4 members. In the case of pretty actress Xu Wei-lun, the boyfriend Vic "Zai Zai" Zhou, she just gave the "quiet" F4 member the monicker "Xiao Ming" to identify him on her mobile phone.

Wei-lun's new habit lately is to use English words to identify some of her friends. This also comes in handy for her as she frequently lost her phone (the last count was 3 mobile phones either misplaced or accidentally destroyed). Also, giving appropriate nicknames to some of her showbiz colleagues escapes papparazzi monitoring and allows for her built-in privacy and security.

Commenting on the camera phone scandal, Wei-lun said she doesn't use the camera phone often to take pictures, so she is not worried at all about what will happen in her case.

Compiled by Max Woodworth
STAFF REPORTER
Taipei Times
Friday, Mar 04, 2005,Page 14

VBS News dropped two bombs Wednesday with separate stories showing suggestive photos taken by stars that came to light over the past week. The first case, and locally the most explosive, was pictures of supermodel Lin Chi-ling (—ÑŽu玲 with F4 singer Jerry Yan (Œ¾³旭.

Last year the two had been spotted together at times of the night that suggested that more than simple business meetings were taking place, but suddenly talk of them as an item disappeared. Now, though, newly unearthed cellphone pictures apparently taken by the couple themselves show the two cheek-to-cheek and in one photo wearing skimpy bathrobes and sleepy, distant smiles in what appears to be a fairly private moment. It's still unknown who sold the photos to the media, but Lin's agent was angry enough at their release to vow to sue who ever it was.

Public toilets in Hsiulin Township use this photo of Lin Chi-ling over the urinals to get men to lean closer.

Jerry's Cellphone Off Limits As Cellphone Pic Controversy

The camp of Taiwan supermodel Lin Cheling were demanding for answers from the camp of Taiwan megastar Jerry Yan if that was really him that was pictured on a pass-me-on camera phone shot that showed the supermodel in a compromising pose with the F4 leader.

Since the camera phone shot came out, all that Jerry uttered to the press is that he and Cheling are simply good friends. Other than that, he can't be reached through his cellphone or a landline by anybody. Such a move only deepened the suspicion that the camera shot may after all, be a true one, and not a fake as angrily claimed by Cheling.

Mama Lin speaks up for daughter...

Everytime replying his Rumours, Cai Zhiping suffers
Posted: March 4, 2005

Gather less, stays far, Gou Zai chases and huge pressure. Has Jerry really become Lin Zhiling's "Best Love" to "Ex-boyfriend"? Being labelled as Jerry's ex-girlfriend, Cai Zhiping said,"I have really not kept in contact with him for 2 years, we were never a pair." Another ex manager Jiang Yi Peng, "Looking at the pictures, you'll know it's an old Baolong, all models wear robes backstage, don't you know? They were already not a couple long ago, that's an old picture."

Jiang Yi Peng is Jerry's good friend cum ex-manager, "Jerry and LZL were once quite good in the past, they were both Ka Si colleagues. He has admitted that they were good friend last year when he released his album, hasn't he? But, he's a very realistic person. During his promo period, he'll try and match what you're doing. Now that it's not the promo period, he will not make any replys to this, he'll only vanish into thin air." He continued to say, "They have long broken up, now they're on good friends terms."

Whenever rumours of Jerry starts coming out, Cai Zhiping would be rolled into the history as well. Yesterday, she innocently said in a word by word, "I really did not go into a relationship with him, it's real!" because of Baolong's "Cai Zhiping is inhuman!" Although they have cleared the misunderstanding, Jerry was a very funny person. He would never keep in contact with others for no reasons. Cai Zhiping said, "These 2 years, he did not even send a sms to me." F4's ken often communicate with her on the phone, Zaizai and Vanness would send her an sms sometimes. Regarding the pictures of Jerry and LZL exposed, Cai Zhiping said, "As long as it does not pull me in, i have no comments to how they develop.

Ibig sabihin ganong ka boplaks yang si LZL at di nya kilala ang mga kinukunan nya sa camera ng kanyang handyphone (ika nga ng mga korean oppas). Kumukulo na ang dugo ko dyan sa bwisit na hitad na yan. Wag siyang magpapakita sakin at talagang baka dumanak dugo nya....

At ang mother dear nakikihalo sa gulo gusto ng press mileage. Bakit may balak din ba siyang maging stage mother ng anak nyang TH to make it in Taiwanese entertainment circle. Dream on sila.

Wang Leehom fights against with Vanness in the MV

Wang Leehom in his new song “Wrong love" MV, he unfolds his six healthy statures. Wang Leehom is having album promotion in China.

Zaizai on Fire in Japan , F3 Very Bored

Cai Zhi Ping is biased , only loves Zaizai Vic Zhou ? Meteor Garden . F4 World which would be held in Japan next thursday is obvious that it was F4 who shared the results, but only Zaizai and Cai Zhi Ping would be going. Streets of Tokyo have also placed more than 20 over boards with Zaizai's posters. To this, Cai Zhi Ping says, "Zaizai is most popular in Japan, his works and pictorial is really on fire in Japan."

Opening up the schedule of Zaizai in Japan next Thursday and Friday, Mars, Meteor Garden.F4 World's event, would be Da S and him doing the job, adding Shoan An & Megan Lai. Only Zaizai was the only representative from F4. So how popular is Zaizai in Japan, causing F3 to be neglected ?

Cai Zhi Ping said without thinking, "Going to each stop in Tokyo and you'll know, it's all Zaizai's posters on the boards. That's because Mars, Meteor Garden, The Poor Prince in which he acted in are all broadcasted in Japan. And his own personal 2 pictorials, have been taken notice by fans. Fanclub fans have already around 20000 people, his popularity is indeed very high, just magazine covers, he has gone on it twice, inside interview, there were 8 pages. Other than Takeshi Kaneshiro, who else in Taiwan is more popular then him in Japan ?"

But, Meteor Garden was obviously hitting Dao Ming Si and Shancai and that was Jerry Yan and Da S , Vic's role as HuaZaLei was only okay, Cai Zhi Ping said, "That's why, Meteor Garden plus Mars, these 2 promo events, Zaizai's role in Mars was heavy, he was playing 2 roles."

In the conversation, Cai Zhi Ping definately loves Zaizai more, However, as she've said, F4's reports were all released at the same time in Japan, the pages were equally big. However, some magazines did specific reports on individual, some like Jerry while some like Zaizai. However, Zaizai's works appeared in Japan more, audiences have a deeper impression on him.

Source: Apple Daily 6 March 2005
http://www.appledaily.com.tw/News/index.cf...rt_ID=1623163##

Nowadays Mayi is facing the stress and is ashamed so much. Because there were many scandal of her and Zhu Xiao Tian every day. And mayi also said “ Xiao Tian is an interesting guy. Sometimes he made me being in a rapture. However, the relationship as in the rumors is impossible”
After met the fortuneteller, she was told that there are someone thinking of betraying on her. And it maybe that they would watch or
come out to reveal some of her behaviour.
Mayi went to Jinmen in order to get rid of bad luck about scandal . The fortuneteller also told her that “ Don’t be worried,God would help you to pass the bad situation.C oz God loves U. And U would meet the guy whom you love,but it would make trouble/problem/obstacle on U.Coz U would be envied by the others and U would have to hide yourself.”

When she heard all of these, she cried that “ Oh! This situation recently happened with Zhu Xiao Tian and me“
The words ‘Zhu’ is not suitable/compatible with her fate. It might be the bad luck which causing troubles on her before meeting the real BF in the future. So, at this present, she decide to break off this relationship before it is deeper .
Everytime when there were rumors or situations happened,Mayi thought too much about what was said by the other people. This made her felt upset very often.

It maybe that ‘Zhu Xiao Tian’ would rather be in rapture to her. But technically(actually), they both don’t macth for each other. Because she need the genius,active, clever guy for being father of her kids. Overmore she need the one who can fulfil her dream.(can bring her to reach her dream)”
" Though I had met many of obstacles,I still believe that there would be the brighten sky after the heavy rain fallen. The bad thing would pass and then the good thing would come to my life”

Who said Jerry Yan is gay?

With Lin Zhi Ling and Jerry Yan's intimate picture exposure, many net friends
thought that these two people are "Jay Chou-Patty Hou Love Affair Part II",
some people question whether or not the pictures were done to propagate
gimmick. Also according to Xu Wei Lun's friend's net friend when she was
once a guest performer in "Meteor Garden", Xu Wei Lun was asked if Jerry
Yan was a not a comrade, she nodded at the same time doing an "X" using her
hands, then repeatedly said: "I did not say so!" The news originated from
Xu Wei Lun, "the good friend" of ZaiZai. Therefore many net friends crack
a joke expressing that Lin Zhi Ling and Jerry Yan must be "good sisters".

Xu Wei Lun's manager Sun Fu Hua denied this, she indicated, "Xu Wei Lun's
appearance" in Meteor Garden "is only as a guest performer, only shot for
several days, simply did not know Jerry Yan, leave this matter because it
will only cause rumors." Sun Fuhua said that, Xu Wei Lun can't possibly
express such opinions about Jerry Yan, she and Zai Zai are also only good
friends." Sun Fuhua indicated, "having said, I acknowledge, let's put aside
the pictures first! We don't want everybody to think too much."

Jerry Yan : Sunlight on the left hand, Shadow on the right hand

He is Jerry Yan

Before, he was a innocent young teen who loves to play basketball. If not for F4, he might also experience lots of things, but unlike now, his every move, every sentance are all in attention from people.

Right now, yes, now , he is a popularity King. Wherever he goes, he takes with him glowing lights, fresh flowers, screamings, tears. Countless of woman drop tears, love, faint for him. Writing them as he beloved son, his pet favourite younger brother, the idol that they are so obssessed with.

Being popular after a night, he was being placed uphigh. The sunlight on the top is of course bright, but the shadows are obvious too. Popularity is a double sword, it has gave him his dreams, but can it hurt him too ?

This teen, as he walks down, sunlight on the left hand and shadows on the right hand, slowing growing up.

Clear Shy light - Love

He says, he likes to fall in love secretly with a girl. I have a weird character, many a times i like a girl, but i don't express it out. I won't even think of telling her. I find that liking her, i don't have to be together with her. For example during my schooling years, she's near me and appearing everyday, i would be happy after seeing her.

However, this kind of happiness cannot be exchanged with any thing, it's a kind of feeling. I find that this kind of feeling, it's quite floaty. For example, now that i've stepped into the circle, this feeling is rather hard to find, expecially in the entertainment circle. But, i would still miss the kind of feeling of liking someone secretly. Just like when i go to school and see her, i'll smile secretly. Of course i was dumped before, i just find that, i probably have not met the one that's right for me. I find that when liking someone, you don't have to calculate how much you've sacrificed for each other.

Afternoon heavy look - Fans

His everything, came from his fans. It was them who gave them his popularity and name. Thus, towards them , he is touched and thankful right from the bottom of his heart. This touched, would sometimes make him cry. He says he doesn't like autograph sessions. That's because, he cannot see them when he signing autographs, unable to communicate with them, even unable to be concern about them. He hopes it's a meet and greet or hand-shaking session. That's because, he can see them face-to-face, smiles, talk, asking, How are you ?

He cares alot about his fans. He says he actually remember most of his fans' names, but he's most afraid when in some places when fans asks him, "Do you remember me ?" He doesn't wish to say out the fans name because she doesn't wish that fan to be placed aside by other fans, he says it did happen before.

Someone asked him, so many fans scratching, touching you, do you hate that ? He replied, Why ? I would be too happy. I hope to recieve letters from each fan, holding each of their presents, hoping to do more for them. During one of the programs in Taiwan, when the host opened up his bag, all found in it were copied documents. On it, it was all greetings and encouragement from fans. He downloads them, and then prints them out. Such a concerned idol, fans should feel very happy.

Dawn's gentle ocean - Mama

Regarding his mom, his deepest impression was the backview of her in the kitchen. She was doing some things in the kitchen, and he was ignorant when he was young, saying that the food his mom cooked wasn't nice. Thinking back, that's the most precious. Whether it was nice was one thing, the sincerity that comes out of it, that feeling touched people. He is often working outside during most of his time. He seldom goes back, whenever he goes back, his mom would cook lots of dishes and soup, he would feel warmth. The fridge in his home is stil the old fridge, twenty years ago. Sometimes when he goes back home and sees the old stuffs, he would think, this is how i came by from young.

After Meteor Garden was broadcasted, F4 got a huge sum of money. Vanness bought a car with the money, he said with envy, i want to buy it too however, he bought a house in Taipei for his mom. That's because, his mom was too far away and he couldn't see her often thus , he received his mom over.

Character Shadow behind his Bright light

From young, he was a shy, quiet and a little abnormal. After stepping into the entertainment circle, his character had a huge turn. He said, he came very funny whenver he went upstage, he said the feeling of being cheered at by millions of people upstage was floaty, it's actually a wrong feeling. He said humbly, i'm not like so many people in the circle who is so talented. They can play the piano, i admire them more. He even said he has never thought that he can be compared to people, his environment when he was young did not allowed him to learn many things. Listening to Ken speak english, i find that it's so good, Ken can play the guitar, Vanness can dance, but me ? I don't know anything, i find that i'm the handicapped in F4. His low-self esteem and humbleness had already reached the stage that everyone was to pity him. He became popular in a night, standing at the top, but the huge distance from the bottom to the top, what kind of hard work or talent should he put in to reach the bottom. After rushing to the skies, how should he go down roads ? His heart without the bottom, sometimes, he would not feel good.

Celebrities live in the bright light, under the words of the media. However, the media can make a person popular, it can also damage it. Bad temper, not good to work with, all kinds of bad moves came, the media's talk, the rumours in humanity was the biggest hurtful experience, making the innocent him choosing to protect himself.

Just like when he was recieving the Beijing Young People's mag interview, he finds that his thinkings has became very old. He says when he first came into the circle, he finds that his happiness really came from his heart. I was just like a big boy, i find that i didn't had any burdens. But slowly as a interact with more things, i saw the cruel truth. In the past, i didn't understand about such things, i didn't know humanity had such a dark side to it, and it's something you would never have thought of. I can never be like the past, turning to a kid whenver i see someone so good to me, i cannot believe them so innocently, i can't depend on that person.

The ever innocent bright teen, to the today abnormal, quiet, self-closed up, defensive, not willing to believe, who can you blame ?

The F4 Times Vase Impression Shadow

From the F4 times, it was the pretty boys image. It was them who brought up the "Man Generation". The teens who were like flowers, people gave them prices from their looks, they can act without acting skills, they can sing without voices, they still get fans' cheers, helping them to foot the bill. However, the Meteor era has slowly gone by, F4's gone their own ways , how far can a pretty face go ?

He's very vexed and worried. He doesn't want to be a vase, he wants to be Shi Li Pai.

He worked hard, 3 years ago when he flim a movie, release an album, he finds that he didn't have the basic so he had to prepare and learn. He doesn't want to blur his fans. For his first solo album, he even went to learn the piano, he only started when he was 27 years old, sometimes, his fingers gets cramps from the playing.

However, his life was placed to be a vase. Using the youth and industry was many people's thinking. He says, maybe when people look at us, the aim was that as long as they can earn enough money, they have never thought to let us be more fufilled, letting us learn alot of things, thus, all people saw was a silly gua standing on stage. Labelled as a idol was being kind. He comments that he admires Jay alot, that's because he can win in whatever he wants to do in the company, and as for him, if he wants to sing or dance, he has to slowly communicate.

But the question was, even if he got the chance and have worked hard, people seen it, would it be his hard work and shi li ? It was still the pretty face that allowed his dreams and it stopped him too. To take away the vase impression, afraid that he'll have to wait , just like how Chang Man Yu got her Wang Jiao Ka Men and Yuan Lin Yu. Hoping that he, would have the chance to.

Hottest Guys in Asia

It seems like only yesterday that foreign and international groups were the hottest guys for the asian fans.

But for the past 2 years, fans and industry insiders have been singing a different tune. Yes! They prefer Local Groups like F4, S.H.E, 5566, Mayday, 7F, 183 Club to name a few. Jerry Yan's One Meter Album, the eagerly to listen tune topped on charts and sold million copies in Asia, album hit like a meteor! Vic Chou's Remember I love You even topped the Charts for consecutive weeks. 5566 Albums C'est Si Bon and current Ge Dou Tian Wang topped charts and G-Music for several weeks. Ken's Time shared his own success, and as well as forecasted Vanness Wu who's releasing his new album very soon.

But it's not the music that topped it all, it's the artists that appealled to the teen crowd who are embraced by old ones, as well, particularly female.

F4, with their success, are the boys for this trend, but groups like 5566 if pertaining to their albums and TV programs also have emerged as contenders, not to mention 7F and also reigning 183 Club, known for their excellent body frame.

Music is not the only factor in these young artists cross over appeal.

5 days after the intimate pics were published, Jerry has denied his relationship.

There is a week of fashion in Taiwan which Lin Zhi Ling certainly attended. 5 days after the secret pics of Lin Zhi Ling and Yan Cheng Xu were published,Yan Cheng Xu only said, "Brother and Sister". Most models also said "our senses says it's not like that"

They also said,"I didn't stay with Yan Cheng Xu that day but the pics showed they wore the clothes like that! Actually, we sometimes wear that kind of clothes but taking pics while wearing that kind of clothes seemed too confident!" (Baiya: If they didn't really really sincere and were worried about their relationship, they might be afraid of those pics would be come out later)

Thus, from the words "Brother and Sister", their relationship is not that serious. ^úåQ said,"My sense says it's not like we thought, I think it's not like that either".

Model…Hong Siao Lei commented…Yan Cheng Xu is not such a sister to her sense.

Cheng I Ping reported that Hong Wei Ming led the team of models under Kai Ol company namely Hong Siao Lei and others to perform a 5-day fashion show featuring the latest spring collection French-based brand Taram Jarmon. Recently, the exposure of cellphone photos of Yan Cheng Xu and Lin Zhi Ling created the rumors that Yan Cheng Xu is just like one older/younger sister. Hong Xia Lei expressed on this rumors that I never felt like such thing

Famous stars and models joined and all dressed this brand name cloth through 5 days of the event.

Lately, the cellphone pictures of Yan Cheng Xu and LZL were stolen and exposed, Hong Xiao Lei, the close friend of both responded that…I never perform on catwalk with Yan Chen Xu, but normally I wear robe behind the stage. Male and Female models find it normal to wear robe at the back stage as we fear that the cloth might be stained with the cosmetics.

When asked about the news saying Yan Cheng Xu is just like a sister, regardless how close he and Ms.Lin are, nothing will happen.. Hong Xiao Lei said.. I have known him for a very long time, never have the feeling of such thing. I don’t think so.

Ken Chu's Late Album Touches you, Prepared for 3 years, Asking for Perfect

2 years ago, because Meteor Garden was popular, it allowed the average 20 year old guys's popularity to shoot up. And F4 was being whisked to popularity in Asia. And they had huge influence, it's believed that people of their same ages wished to be like them, having the chance to develop in this circle which everyone deemed to be so colourful.

F4's start to the individual development today, each of them have already had their own achievements. And Ken Chu, who acts as Xi Men in the show (Ah Ken), recently released his solo album On Ken's Time. Although he's the latest among the foursome to release his solo album, the happy thing was that after this album was released, it recieved good comments and the sales was good. This album was prepared for 3 years, it was an album which Ah Ken insist that it's fully ready, good enough to listen before it's released. His music road was that he loved the real things, he loves people's real feelings. Not only 2 songs are nice, all the other songs are good too. Recently, for his album promo, Ah Ken kept flying around. Asking him which song he preferred in this album, he says he likes Dai Wo Li Kai. As he is a more emotional person, thus when he listens to the song, he would deduct it by seeing whether he would drop tears when listening to that song. And after he finished listening to Dai Wo Li Kai, it gave him such a feeling.

F4 fans were all around Asia, and it was the crazy kind, including HK, China, Thailand, Korea and Indonesia and more. And the level of their popularity was very good, and the influence as well. Wherever they appear, there would be a group of fans crowding around them. Towards such popularity, how does Ken feels towards such results, he says bascially he is quite happy. However, he is happy not because there are so many people supporting them, he is happy because he knows it's a real thing. He actually heard that Indonesia was rather anti-chinese, he have ever read an article online before. There was once when he was made to go to Indonesia to work. At first, he was scared that he might be placed aside. However, when he reached Indonesia, many people wanted to make friends with him, because many of them wanted to know about F4 too so this made Ah Ken happy. And many fans in Asia have also went to learned chinese because of them.

Of course, with so many people taking notice, it's pressure as well. Don't see that Ken is just so young, his thinkings were rather mature. When asked whether was he under any pressure, he said of course there was. It's impossible if there's no stress, but he finds it okay. However, no matter how he sees stress, he would never bring the pressure home because once he's off work, he's off work, he didn't have to face it anymore. His work attitude have always been like that as well. When he's upstage, he would bring out whatever he can perform out, so that he will find that he did it best for his fans downstage. He can satisfy them in what they want but when he's off work, he will put all these aside, because he finds that after his job, he needs to revert back to normal. If even after work and he finds himself still as a celebrity, then he's crazy.

The feeling that Ah Ken gives is that he's very cool, what kind of person is he actiually ? Ah Ken admits that he doesn't like to talk much, leisure and work is totally different for him. In work, he puts his opinion insistent, attitude towards people are place like that as well. He will never judge people, he will try and get to know the person first cause' he finds that this is what the job is like. You never know who you are going to meet, and you will never know who you are going to work with. With his character, he prefers to communicate with people, observe people, he would look at the world with an outsider's view.

What does Ah Ken have in mind to relieve stress ? He says there are many ways to do so, in daily life, there's already alot. For example, showering, if knowing how to feel the leisure of showering, it's a very good way to relieve stress. He also said, he can spend 2 to 3 hours in the toilet. Other than that, he has other hobbies as well, besides photography, he likes parachuting and Hua Shui and he has a cert for Hua Shui. However, he likes going travelling, especially when he's driving on his own.

Everyone has Happiness, Angriness, Sadness, Cheerfulness. Asked how he looks at this, he says it the same as Living, growing old, sick, death, everyone has to go through it.Living, growing old, sick, death is a more periodic thing,but Happiness, Angriness, Sadness, Cheerfulness can happen all in the same day. So, Ah Ken normally treats all situations in a normal way, he doesn't want his emtions to have too many changes.

What can make him happy and unhappy ? He says, in fact, he doesn't know either. He is a AB blood type, many a times, he doesn't know what is he thinking about, thus being happy and unhappy is very blur for him. However, he doesn't like it when one person doesn't respect another. As to happiness, if he on's the tv and sees his favourite MV, it can make him happy for a whole day.

Ah Ken is actually a very simple person. He comments that he tries to live the norma life. Asking he whether it changed him stepping into this circle ? He says what changes is his attitude and opinion, but his own nature hasn't change.

Asking him whether is it hard to look for a opposit partner after he's in this circle, because it's difficult to find a real relationship ? He has his own opinion, he says the difficulty is because of this job, it has nothing to do with he himself. He finds that a girl cannot really understand her boyfriend who's a celebrity. Because of the job, you have to fall in love, kiss with other girls. He cannot imagine how girls can accept this. And because of popularity, you don't know what she likes about you when you look for a girlfriend, it's hard to find real love. Ah Ken said, maybe during the start, the opposit party might not see the problem, but it'll be obvious after you go steady for a longer time. Does Ken wants to go steady ? He laughs and said of course, why won't he think about it. And his attitude and taking care of girls , he would specially take care of girls more during his work, it's his character. People might mistake him for a playboy in relationships, whenver a couple breaks up, they would definately have grumbles with the other party, or they would look for friends to grumble on. And his character was choosing not to open his mouth nor explain because he doesn't want to hurt the other party. Probably because of this, all his past girlfriends were still good friends with him, Ah Ken finds that this is the basic things guys should be able to do.

3/11 Zai Zai occupies Japan for White Day

http://udn.com/NEWS/MEDIA/2554703-1031142.jpg
http://udn.com/NEWS/MEDIA/2554617-1031072.jpg

It's very hard for the flag of the Republic of China to hang in Japan. It's also not easy for posters of "Zai Zai" Vic Chou to be hanging in the streets of Tokyo but ZZ did it.

ZZ went to Japan, along with Da S, Shone An, and Megan Lai, nervous and overjoyed. When walking the streets of Tokyo, especially when passing Parco, you'll find the Japanese's March 14th "White Day" is more like "F4 Zai Zai Day" because his posters are not only hanging in Parco, even on the walls outside are ZZ and F4's drama and pictorial posters.

ZZ's Taiwan Mandarin is back

With the plan mapped out by Japan's hosting unit and Taiwan Comic Family's Chairman Angie Cai, for the past few days Tokyo's streets has had a taste of Taiwan because of ZZ and F4. ZZ has also become a favorite of the media. He has to attend many events like press conferences and fan gatherings. And as for his "Taiwan Mandarin," which took a while to rectify, is back again.

ZZ arrived on Wednesday and stayed at the hotel The Westin Tokyo. In his room was 20 sets of clothing brought from Taiwan. Yi Teng Da, who had designed for "sheng tang jiao fu" before, personally helped ZZ design an even more "fei xun" Japan style. The staff members said confindently that ZZ's handsomeness doesn't lose to SMAP one bit.

But the silly ZZ seemed a little nervous. When taking photos his expression was solemn. It was not until everyone told him to relax did he start with his cold jokes. He stood up and said that he didn't want people taking pictures of him and then faced the wall, making everyone laugh.

Handsomeness, Mars, can't distinguish between "ang" and "au" (pronunciation characters)

When he was interviewed he stressed that from "Meteor Garden" to "Mars," Japanese audiences can see a Yi Lan boy who couldn't correctly pronounce Mandarin slowly getting better and better.

Maybe it was because he was too excited so when he said "yu lai yu bang" (better and better) he pronounced "ang" sound wrong again. This time he said it as "au" so it therefore turned into "yu lai yu bao er." Hearing himself, Da S, Shone, Megan and others laughed.

ZZ laughingly said that he's happy to see the so-called "Chinese flow" extending to Japan's entertainment world. He's very happy that "Mars" will be broadcasting in Japan and he also hopes to be able to work with Director Takeshi Kitano, who he adores.

Da S wants to meet with Higashiyama Noriyuki and Kimura Takuya

Da S revealed that she currently doesn't have any plans of developing in Japan but she hopes that she can meet Kimura Takuya and Higashiyama Noriyuki. If she can't meet them, she'll still be very happy if she had their autographs. Megan hopes that she has the chance to develop in Japan. As for Shone, who loves to joke, he said laughingly that ever since he was 12 years old he's been enchanted by Namie Amuro. If he can work with her, "I'll be willing to do anything, happy."

At 4:30pm yesterday afternoon ZZ and others officially met with the 180 reporters from all over Japan. In the evening there were 2 press conferences for the introduction of "Meteor Garden" and "Mars." Today they have to attend a fan gathering. It's predicted that they'll be returning to Taiwan tomorrow.

Each actor put on the official clothing, took turns in the hotel to accept two magazines interview as well as NHK, the satellite theaters two television stations' visits. They were asked about their feeling in Japan and they said it's very good. Possibly the Japanese media is not ripe to the Taiwan actor.

Zai Zai loves Xiao Zun, Da S speaks Japanese

http://www.libertytimes.com/2005/new/mar/today/imgtoday/today-show1.jpg

Too see their idols, hundreds of fans from Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and other Asian countries lined up at Se Gu since Wednesday night in 5 degrees temperatures. Yesterday afternoon they finally met their beloved ZZ.

During this trip ZZ and Da S will attend 3 press conferences. During the first press conference Da S touched the Japanese media when she spoke Japanese coherently. Da S said in Japanese that she really liked Japan and that she especially loved Japan's rice and dishes.

When she said this it made the Japanese media laugh continously.

ZZ said that he really liked Japanese villages. He visited Xiao Zun once for his pictorial and he thought that Xiao Zun was like his hometown. And he also thinks that he and "Meteor Garden"'s Hua Ze Lei are similar in 3 areas. One is they both like to sleep, two is tenderness and three is they sacrifice for love.

ZZ also praised Da S as a senior and Da S glared at him on the spot. He correctly himself at once and said that she's the most beautiful, appeasing Da S.

The second press conference was held at Parco's F4 world. The arrangement for this exhibition costed millions in Japanese money. ZZ was very happy when he saw that fans lined up through the night to see him.

Millions of Taiwanese dollars were spent on this "Mars" promotional trip plus the F4 World Exhibition, trying to push F4 into the Japanese market by means of "Mars" having the chance to broadcast on 15 different channels in Japan.

Millions of portraits welcome guests at F4 Tokyo exhibition

Posted: March 11, 2005

For the "F4 World Exhibition" tomorrow in Tokyo, the hosting unit spent 1 million Yen. An artist was hired to do a huge oil painting of F4. Although the exhibition hasn't started yet, the huge portrait has become the place to worship F4.

F4 became popular in Japan because of "Meteor Garden". The 18-day "Meteor Garden F4 World Exhibition" will start tomorrow at Tokyo Se Gu Parco Museum. Over 100,000 people are expected to go. The hosting unit especially used F4's huge oil painting as the focal for publicizing. Just the painting took a month to complete and cost over 1 million Yen (about HKD$70,000).

The manufacturing unit first invited a professional to draw a portrait of F4 and then painted it. Many F4 fans especially went to admire it and slogans were also written on the posters "F4, wild and loved by everyone, is finally coming!" Posters are everywhere, even elevators of malls have F4 posters.

Because F4's dramas, "Meteor Garden," "Poor Prince," "Love Scar," and others, are going to be shown in Japan successively and their album "Can't Lose You" will be releasing on March 24th. In F4, ZZ is first to go to Japan to promote. Next will be Jerry Yan and the exhibition will release the Japanese version of Jerry's pictorial. A buying upsurge is expected.

ZZ and Da S are in Tokyo promoting "Meteor Garden" and "Mars" and have received big star treatment. After they just landed a few days ago they accepted a series of TV and magazine interviews. The media even went into ZZ's room and saw that there were 20 sets of clothing inside.

"Sheng Tang Jiao Fu"'s designer Yi Teng Da also designed for ZZ. As for Da S, her professional designer also designed for her, including 5 spring outfits and name brand shoes.

Yesterday night ZZ and Da S indeed dressed up to attend a press conference. Because this is the two's first time to promote in Japan plus the fact that they have become the local new favorites, they attracted over 100 reporters, a situation unprecendented. Even outside were hundreds of fans. One can see how popular they are.

Park Eun-Hye and F4 member to act in HK drama
Posted: March 12, 2005

Korean drama "Da Cheng Jin" has been hot all over Asia, helping Park Eun-Hye rise to fame. In the beginning of March a HK manufacturing company took a special trip to Korea to invite Park Eun-Hye to film in a drama. They also would like to have a member of F4 to act in this drama too. The drama will be show in HK, Taiwan and other Asian countries.

According to what's known, Park Eun-Hye has already accepted this HK drama production and will be going to HK and Taiwan to film scenes. This drama is adapted from a Japanese manga "Xiang Ju Yi Ke" (The Moment Of Together a.k.a Maison Ikkoku) and an F4 member will be chosen to be the male lead.

3/13 Japan fans dislike that F4 wears cheap clothing

"Please have Dao Ming Si get rid of that pineapple hairstyle. And F4 belong to rich families, their clothes are too cheap." F4's "Meteor Garden" has caused questioning from Japanese audiences. Producer Angie Cai said, "'Meteor Garden I' had a low budget. Their clothes were indeed cheap from Wu Fen Pu (wholesale clothing market in Taipei) and Jerry Yan's pineapple hairstyle was done according to the manga."

For 3 days, Vic Chou, Da S and others went to Japan to promote "Meteor Garden" and "Mars." The manga "Meteor Garden" is widely known in Japan, many people grew up with it. Many fans saw F4 through TV and they had to admit that Angie's choices were great. They said the four were "too miraculous, it's like they walked out of the book."

It wasn't until yesterday night until Japanese fans had the chance to meet Hua Ze Lei (Vic Chou) and San Cai (Da S) at a fans gathering. Outside the studio more than 1000 chosen fans looped around the Parco store about 3 times. 250 policemen were needed to maintain order.

Inside "F4 World Exhibition" were more than 200 reporters looking at the clothes F4 wore in their dramas and other related pictures, pictorials, etc. The Japanese, who have always paid attention to appearance, found, "F4 are rich, why are they wearing that kind of clothing?" In addition, someone also said that Jerry's "pineapple hairstyle" was too exaggerated, making it hard to bear.

Angie said, "Four years ago I really wanted to film 'Meteor Garden,' but at that time no one thought it was good. Our budget was really low. I used all my money to rent racing cars, a mansion. The clothes they wore were from Wu Fen Pu, they cost a few hundred dollars. Despite this, on average about 300,000 dollars were lost for each episode. The pineapple hairstyle was done according to the manga. It is a bit weird so starting from the 5th episode we had Jerry leave his hair down."

But in "Meteor Garden II" F4 was really different. They wore Ar-ManiAVersac. Angie said, "At that time the drama was popular so there was a rise in budget. I'm also very demanding ok?" She brought the Wu Fen Pu clothes to the exhibition to show "honesty" that they were indeed lacking in money during that time and for spectators to compare that with the F4 at a later stage.

Jin Zi, who helped design ZZ's image for this activity, said, "Taiwan idols don't pay attention to appearances. Korean stars are different. Every time they are in Japan they spend a lot on appearance like a fashion star. ZZ usually doesn't pay much attention to what he wears. He needs improvement on this. This time I helped him prepare 4 sets of clothing, enough to buy a car." She thought that Da S was amazing. Her overall image and dressup was very elegant. "Like a little princess, I love her." Right after is Osaka, Nagoya, and other places for an exhibition, to build influence. The Japanese side has already rollcalled "Jerry Yan, you should be next."

Tawain's "flower boys" F4 are officially challenging the "Korean influence" in Japan with "Meteor Garden." In the past year Bae Yong Jun's "Winter Sonata" has brought a Korean wind that swept all of Japan. "Meteor Garden" was able to stir a big "Taiwan wind." The first round they have to past is "appearance."

HOTTEST HOOK-UPS

A spate of Chinese showbiz romances have recently
heated up headlines. WENDY TEO (teowyw@sph.com.sg) checks out which celebs have the...

Singer Jerry Yen, 28,
Model Lin Chi-ling, 31

Couple wattage: 90%

Caught in the act: Photos of the pair posing in only bathrobes made their rounds in the papers, after Chi-ling sent her phone for repairs, and an enterprising undergraduate downloaded the pictures and sold them for NT$500,000 ($26,300).

Rumours of them being a couple surfaced as early as September 2003, even before Chi-ling's ascent to top-model status in Taiwan.

They had been seen going for movies together and were once rumoured to be cohabiting.

How bright are their careers?

Jerry, despite being a member of the fast-fading F4, is still going on strong among his legions of fans around the world fainting at his slightest smile.

As for Chi-ling, she is the face that launched a thousand ships.

Well, kinda.

With that pretty face of hers, she has sold at least 400 apartments, and countless units of handphones, jewellery and other products she endorses.

Recently upgraded to a TV host, Chi-ling's star is rising.

Besides their red-hot careers, these two leggy models look so good together, it hurts.

It's a power surge alert!

Jerry Yan, Popular with his Long Hair ?

How is Jerry Yan like when he first came out as a model ? A set of photos of Jerry during the earlier stage of modelling was let around in China recently. His Ka Si's "ex-boss", Hong Wei Ming said, "I have ever spoken to Jerry for some time before, being in my company for 3 years, he should go popular but didn't, it's unreasonable. He said he wanted to act in shows, i encourage him to just grow long hair, and after leaving long hair, he really became so popular."

As the big brother of F4, Jerry's every move has a target effect. Starting this year, he first went to Bali to flim a commercial, although there were rumours that F4 was acting busy, Zaizai went to Japan to promote Mars and Meteor Garden. Vanness's movie would soon start fliming in HK and Ken is busy with his overseas album promo.

Recently, the rumours of Jerry and Lin Zhi Ling was very hot. In China, a group of photos of him in marriage suits during his early modelling suddenly started popping up. His short hair comparing to now, it seems a little out of date. Hong Wei Ming said, "He's a hardworking dude, at that time when he was doing modelling with me, he even worked outside, very strong mindset and blends well. I kept thinking that it's impossible that he isn't famous but i couldn't find that crackline."

However, when Jerry's contract ended, Hong Wei Ming gave him a huge present ," Go act in shows, it's better to be with long hair." It was these words that changed Jerry's life. Looking carefully, when he was fliming Ma La Xian Shi, he was with short hair. Till he flimed Meteor Garden, he had long hair, and it made him popular, popular throughout Asia with chinese people. Whenever he flims a movie, release an album, he can only trimmed his hair a little and not go under the huge cut.

Lin Zhi Ling refuses to talk about Jerry Yan robe photos

Lin Zhi Ling (Chiling) and Jerry Yan's rumors have been red hot. Chiling has naturally become the focus in China, HK and Taiwan. Last night she was in HK for an event, attracting more than a hundred reporters to the scene. However, she refused to accept interviews, to respond to the photos of her and Jerry in robes.

Earlier in Taiwan the model Lin Chi Lin's cellphone intimate photos of her and Jerry in robes were exposed. Last night Chiling went o HK to attend an all new BMW3 event. Lin Chi Ling, who wore two diamond gourds, arrived at the event at 9:40pm. The hundred reporters rushed to Chiling to take photos. After 10 minutes of chaos, Chiling was finally able to walk in front of the backdrop for photos. Maybe the behavior of the crowd of reporters scared Chiling. After photo taking was done, her manager rushed her in and didn't agree to accept interviews. Chiling also turned around and apologized to reporters.

Maggie Q: Yan Cheng Xu is not my cup of tea. He is just too beautiful

In MK, Maggie Q (kkla: she played Andy Lau's girl friend) worked with Yan Cheng Xu, and this time, she is going to meet Wu Jian Hao. Regarding working with this "eye nutritious" group, Maggie Q said that it is just a coincidence. She thinks that the only advantage to work with them is not too much pressure, as F4 are not professional actors.

Regarding Yang Cheng Xu, Maggie Q laughed hard as she shook her head, "He is not my cup of tea. He is just too beautiful. I don't like my boy friend is more beautiful than me. For men, I think connotation is more important, having a good sense of humour and making others happy is needed as well."

Also at Tokyo, he would be recieving interviews from 10 tv stations, radio stations, newspapers and magazines.

ZZ wearing ring of love, become stupid?

ZZ is 'caught'. When he was being interviewed by Taiwan media yesterday, he accidently revealed the Cartier ring on his finger. He said openly: "You can take photos, it's the only thing I can alwasy wear." He says that he now likes cook and would cook curry pork at home.

With a cold and dieting, ZZ only eats one meal a day. Despite this, his sweet expressions reveal that he is in love: "I bought the ring myself, its very cheap". What brand? How much? "That brand that starts with C, about a few tens of thousands."

Such vagueness, can't name the price, was it given by XWL? He revealed his trademark smile: "I rarely go shopping, since childhood I have only bought 2 pieces of clothing for myself, my friends buy it for me." He stresses that all his clothes and daily supplies are brought by his friends. That ring, he liked it on the first look - simple, feels good and has not taken it off since.
XWL likes jewelry, which makes her quite different from ZZ.

Ever since arrival in Japan, he has been surrounded by fans. ZZ said: "Can't going shopping." Afraid of the Jay-Patty episode repeat, ZZ now stays at home and says: "My best dish is curry pork chops."

==================
Before coming to Japan, Vanness invited ZZ and Jerry to his place for a meal, however, ZZ mixed up the time and could not go. Is Jerry's mood affected by the mobile phone photos episode? ZZ shakes his head: "No, I haven't heard about it. We often communiate, he was in a really good mood when he was working in HK last month."

==================

ZZ says: "When there were clubs at school, I should have joined guitar club rather than environmental ones. Then I would be able to show my talent, I need more skills." He will attend MARS meet the fans session in which 700 fans selected from 12000, will attend with him.

Meteor Garden author starstruck by ZaiZai
Posted: March 12, 2005

ZaiZai renders the author of Meteor Garden starstruck

http://singtao.com/media/20050312/20050312fp01y.jpg

Youko Kamio looked at ZaiZai affectionately while he was being interviewed

Zhou Yumin (ZaiZai) and Xu Hsiyuan (Da S), who became famous because of "Meteor Garden”, had the fortune of meeting with the author of the manga herself. When Japanese female author Youko Kamio saw ZaiZai, suddenly it was like fans seeing their idol, very shyly stealing looks at ZaiZai the entire time, it made the scene look quite amusing!

The night before last, ZaiZai and Da S attended two press conferences for "Meteor Garden” and “Mars” which attracted nearly 200 media personnel who went there for interviews. Because the number of people was too many, the reporters alone needed more than an hour who lined up just to enter the venue.

At the presscon, they were able to invite the “Meteor Garden” author Youko Kamio to be present. Because it is understood that Youko Kamio is in fact also an F4 fan herself, she was extremely shy when saw ZaiZai, and couldn’t look at him straight the entire time. While ZaiZai was being interviewed, she steals adoring looks at him, and even requested to have a photo taken with ZaiZai.

Youko Kamio greatly praised ZaiZai in an interview: “When your own manga is being adapted into a TV drama, it’s a very exciting feeling. Then I see F4, these four boys from Taiwan, and I couldn’t believe it. They’re practically identical to the manga characters, all four of them perfect people!” With regards to ZaiZai who played Hwa Ze Lei, Youko Kamio couldn’t help but praise him again: “At the beginning, when I first saw photos of him I thought only that he’s very like Hwa Ze Lei who has a kind of melancholy feel to him. It was only after conversing with him that I discovered that he’s a very lovable boy, very charming!”

ZaiZai also praised Youko Kami “I feel very honoured that I was able to meet her. That she could write such a perceptive and sensitive manga like “Meteor Garden” is not an easy task. The look in her eyes is very gentle, she has the feeling of an artist.” When mentioned that Youko Kamio would often steal looks at him, ZaiZai smiled in embarrassment and said: “Did she? I’m also very shy, I dare not even look at her!”

ZaiZai, who’s promoting in Japan for the first time, says that it feels strange and unnatural seeing all those giant posters and billboards of himself hanging in the streets of Japan. For the past few days he has been interviewed by more than 10 media groups. ZaiZai, who admits that language is a weak point of his, was very nervous. Luckily Da S, who understands Japanese a little, is there to act as interpreter.

Moreover, this 4 days 3 nights of promotional tour in Japan made ZaiZai so busy he couldn’t breathe. Aside from press conferences, meet-and greet with the fans, and tedious interviews with the media, the media discovered ZaiZai’s is wearinga platinum Cartier ring on his middle finger. Asked if it was given by rumoured girlfriend Xu Wei Lun, he responded with ease: “this is a very ordinary ring, you see it everywhere.” Coincidentally, Da S also wore the same brand of ring on her hand, and she joked and said: “He’s always like this, he imitates me every time. He buys what I buy.”

Although ZaiZai has received plenty of gifts during this trip, he who doesn’t have the habit of opening gifts, has once received expensive gifts like cameras from fans. But the one that made the most profound impression on him, are still the fans from Vicpower. They knew that he likes children, so they specially adopted 10 children from an orphanage, then sent him the documents for him to look over.

ZaiZai’s platinum Cartier ring stirs up speculations
Posted: March 12, 2005

Zhou Yu Min (ZaiZai) and Da S promoting “Mars” in Japan, ZaiZai wore a platinum Cartier ring, inciting speculations that it was a token of love between him and rumoured girlfriend Xu Wei Lun. But he says he wears the ring only for fun, and that a lot of people also wear the same kind of ring. Da S who was sitting beside him tries to help, showing that she wore the same kind of ring on her hand, and even said that ZaiZai always try to copy her. If he sees her buying something he’ll also buy it. This “token of love” is only a beautiful misunderstanding.

Heading the first F4 assault in Japan

ZaiZai is very successful in heading the F4 assault in Japan and opening the way for them. His arrival in Japan had several hundred fans welcoming him at the airport, the “Mars” meet-and-greet with fans had 12,000 Japanese fans registering, but because of the limitations of the venue, only 700 people could participate. ZaiZai is very touched by the importance the Japanese media has given him and the warmth the Japanese fans have shown him, it is very difficult for Taiwan artists to enter the Japanese market. He says: “I hope I’d have the chance to come here (to Japan) together with F4.”

US$6,666 gift donated to charity

Earlier there was a rumour that when F4 was in Las Vegas for a concert, a fan gave ZaiZai a gift of US$6,000,000? He hastily clarified that that red packet is in fact US$6,666 which he tried to return, but the fan wouldn’t take it back, so he could only give it as a donation to charity. He also said that of all the gifts from his fans, he likes the gift of Vicpower the most, adopting 10 children and helping raise them in his name.

Da S looked very elegant while accepting interviews, thus has been mentioned that she has the elegance of Song Mei Ling.

When zai went Japan to promote Mars, he accidentally talk about the ring in his hand. It is proved that he is wearing Cartier [Love]. (type of the ring). It is 18K jin1 and it cost TW$34100. He kept not admitting that is their token of love and emphasize that he bought that himself.

Xu Weilun also says that if zaizai says that he is the one that bought it himself, then, he is the one that bought it himself! Also, she has one Cartier ring but it is of the different kind. If she goes around asking other people, they also will have Cartier rings.

Mayi's relationship so sweet that she couldn't hide it, have brought her boyfriend to meet her parents ?

Earlier on, it was only reported that Mayi and Ken Chu went secret dating. Yesterday during the recording of CTS program, coincidently she met reporters and started grumbling, "I really did not go dating with him(Ken Chu) ! After i return to Japan, i have been at home all day to look after my parents. Other than going out to get necessities, i did not leave my house at all !"

When reporters asked Mayi whether her family knew about Ken, she suddenly smiled very shyly and said, "Ahyo ! My parents have known him long before ! They have seen his Meteor Garden in Japan , i mentioned him to my parents too when i was in Japan, sometimes, i would mentioned him too on the phone."

However, Mayi is "determined" that she is only good friends with Ken. And, also, Xie Li Jing who was also at the recording said, "Your relationship is so smooth recently huh ! But, be careful together with Ken, do not Wei Hun Shen Zi (getting pregnent before marriage) ! However, Mayi didn't understand her and said , "Huh ? Wei Shen Zi (tissue paper) What Wei Shen Zi ? ", making everyone laugh.

Although Mayi said she did not go out unless needed in Japan, she said she met Kimura(Mu Cun) this time, she was so happy to see him and praise that he was very handsome. And when reporters compared Ken to Kimura, she showed the happiness face and said, "He is also very handsome la !"

HOTTEST HOOK-UPS

A spate of Chinese showbiz romances have recently
heated up headlines. WENDY TEO (teowyw@sph.com.sg) checks out which celebs have the...

Singer Vanness Wu, 26
Singer Vivian Hsu, 30

Couple wattage: 65%

Caught in the act: Behaving intimately at a steamboat restaurant in Taiwan in 2003.

Talk was rife that the couple broke up for three months, but they reconciled last December when Vanness flew to Singapore to patch things up with Vivian when she was filming a movie here.

How bright are their careers?

He is part of the phenomenon known as F4. But Vanness will never live down his dud debut movie, Star Runner. And even though his Body Will Sing was a hit, it wasn't sensational enough to notch up high album sales.

It was last heard that Vanness has completed a training stint as a Shaolin temple disciple.

If he's planning a career switch, good for him.

We don't know how long the F4's star can keep shining.

Vivian may have cornered the sweetheart market in Taiwan and Japan, but the hour glass is emptying fast for her, which is a major disadvantage in the era of Jolin Tsai, Cyndi Wang, Aya Ueto, and Ai Otsuka.

It's a good idea for the couple to keep a spare pack of batteries

Leehom: HK has No Music Industry, Only An Entertainment Circle

Yesterday (3rd, Mar) , Wang Leehom held an autograph & sales session for his 10th album "Shangri-la". Leehom is named as "Top Quality Idol" in Japan and Korea; Ever since his remake of "Descendents of the Dragon" he has developed a relationship with China. In the interview yesterday, he said, "I just want to contribute to the Chinese music industry ¨C to come up with something different, something that is challenging, stimulating and new."

Leehom feels that from his first album onwards, he's been working hard at accumulating technical skills, including music composition, performance ¨C and it's as if his first 9 albums existed for the purpose of preparing him for his latest album "Shangri-la!"

"To me, this album is very challenging and risky, after all, 'Chinked-out' is a brand new style of music."

Afterwards, Leehom who has always shown a lot of character, explains his rationale, "I wanted to create this style, which is the amalgamation of Chinese elements with other elements. Even (within Chinese music) the ethnic minorities each have their own culture, own songs, own styles of singing and own instruments."

This time, Leehom actually utilized this aspect.
"The most special part of the album is the incorporation of these Chinese ethnic elements, like for instance I used the Chinese 5-tone to compose 'A Simple Song', and also incorporated the Tibetian theatre tune into 'Zhu Lun Shen Chu'. I was very happy to be able to do this. Even though I don't understand Tibetian, but their beats and music bear many similarities to rap, and when I heard it, I knew I had to incorporate these features into my own compositions."

Named as China R&B Godfather---David Tao

Lately David Tao has been expressing strong feelings of helplessness, saying that he's lost confidence in the Chinese music industry, and proclaiming his intent to retire from the music industry. The media has always liked to compare Leehom's music with David Tao's, and this is exactly what Leehom hopes not to happen.

"Talking about our music from a different perspective, our work is actually very different. The music that I compose stems solely from my own thoughts and feelings, and is something that belongs exclusively to my own style. I feel that for the majority of other singers who do not compose their own music, their songs are all selected by their record companies, and just distributed to whichever singer happens to be releasing an album. I feel that it is these singers who would sound similar."

When we asked about his views about the music industry, amongst his replies Leehom mentioned the Hong Kong music industry.

"I don't feel like Hong Kong has a music industry, I treat that more as an entertainment circle. The "Yue" in "Yue Tan" refers to real music but Hong Kong people aren't actually listening to music, they are more concerned with the multi-media performances. They are able to co-ordinate the emergence of a new artiste in many different aspects of the entertainment industry, this is different from all other places."

R&B Kings' Albums Queried About Imitation [Interview with Leehom]

R&B King's Albums Queried about Imitation
Wang Leehom and David Tao subjected to the same "Interrogation"

In the current pop music scene, other than Jay Chou, there's essentially no one else who can compete with Leehom and David Tao, be it status or appeal. Being the 3 pillars of Chinese R&B, they have many similarities and differences amongst them. The similarities include popularity, status, and even the timing of the outbreak of news is similar. Just as news of the "Chou-Hou" romance broke out, David Tao and Leehom came up with their own "pink worries" to stimulate their fans. And in each of their albums, traces of imitation and references to other's music can be detected. Its not easy being a "Heavenly King" and this is the pressure that they have to bear. 2 days ago, Leehom held a press conference for his new album "Shangri-la"; At the same time, David Tao was being interviewed by this reporter via a phone call in Nanjing. This reporter specially designed 8 questions to "interrogate" these 2 heavenly kings, and from their separate answers we can perhaps infer the future paths in which these 2 artistes will take.

Wang Leehom: I want my every album to be stimulating

Q: What special meaning does the new album have for you?
A: This is my 10th personal album, in my past albums I've been accumulating certain technical skills, and starting from my previous album. I have the intention of gaining a better grasp of the hip-hop style of music. In this new album, I created a new style that I call "Chinked-out". This, to me, is a brand new beginning, and from now the direction in which I proceed will be more certain.

Q: Why did you think of using elements of Chinese culture and instruments?
A: I wanted to create a style of hip-hop that belongs distinctively to Chinese people, and not the European/American style of hip-hop ¨C and thus I introduced Chinese elements into my music. In English, "Chink" is a derogatory racial slur used by Caucasians to address Chinese people. However, I hope to use the term "Chinked-Out" to repossess the word and revert the negative connotations of the term as well as to embody the Chinese spirit and strength.

Q: Do you feel that you are currently bearing a great load in the Chinese music industry?
A: I've never thought about this question. I only hope to be able to contribute to the Chinese music industry. Music doesn't have to be commercial, and it doesn't have to be karaoke style, but instead, it should be full of challenges. I hope that every album of mine with have new stimulations, this would make me very happy.

Q: Some people feel that this album is imitating ruffian Eminem's album, and there are some songs which seem to have the influences of the Usher fella. Is this plagiarism?
A: This is perhaps a coincidence, I have never had any intentions of intentionally imitating others.

Q: Which is the most meaningful song to you in this album?
A: "FOREVER LOVE". This is a song written for my ex-girlfriend. It was a relationship that I treasured greatly, and though I am not able to physically appear at her wedding, I am still imagining that at her wedding, I would be wearing a white suit, playing the piano for her to convey my best wishes.

Q: What's your take on the news that A-Mei was urged to retire?
A: Initially I didn't even know about this news, and its only later on that I found out through the Taiwan media. I was rather shocked, I've always thought that A-Mei's music was great, I don't know why this happened"..*..(before he finished answering, a Sony Music representative cut him off, showing that he wasn't allowed to answer this question.)

Q: In this album, you directed the MV of one of the songs, does this mean that you have interest in developing in the movie industry? This time, your performance in "Starlit High Noon" even got you nominated in the Berlin Film Festival, did you attend it?
A: When I write songs, images will always surface in my heart/mind, and as long as my record company agrees, from now on I will shoot my own MVs for my albums. As for filming movies, for now I think I will focus more on my music, I haven't quite decided if I will make movies. I didn't go to Berlin, but the film was screened.

Q: Do you consider Jay Chou and David Tao to be your competitors?
A: Nope, both of them are my good friends and together we have a common competitor and that's the European/American hip-hop singer.

Classical training in music

Lee Hom, 29

He was born to Taiwanese parents in Rochester, New York.

Classically trained in piano and violin, Lee Hom decided to take a shot at breaking into the Chinese music scene while studying music at Williams College in Massachusetts.

Armed with a recording contract from Decca Records, he flew to Taiwan in 1996 to launch his debut album, Love Rival Beethoven, and has not looked back since.

He said at the time: 'I came back to Taiwan because I wanted to try it out here. It's cool to see a new place.'

Initially noticed for being an American-born Chinese, and for his mature baritone and pin-up good looks, Lee Hom went into music full-time after graduating with honours in 1998.

He has since outgrown his pop-idol phase. By co-producing his own albums like the previous Unbelievable and his latest, Shangri-la, he has proven that he has the whole package combining looks and talent.

He snagged a trophy for Best Producer at Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards last year, further testament to his musical accomplishment.

Shangri-la vs Great Leap

It's a close fight between Lee Hom and David Tao's new albums. So who's leading?

REVIVAL or revolution?

One R&B hotshot declared with his new album that he will 'revive the Mandopop scene with renewed creativity', while the other embarked on a Great Leap with he calls a 'revolutionary' album.

Big words from Lee Hom, 29, and David Tao, 36, respectively.

Both are popular Taiwan-based musicians, critically acclaimed and well-respected in the Chinese music scene.

Both recently released new, highly-anticipated albums - Shangri-la by Lee Hom and The Great Leap by David.

But, with such unabashed declarations, who has delivered on his promise?

The fight is a pretty close one.

Five industry sources whom The New Paper spoke to stressed that both musicians are equally talented in their own right.

In terms of production quality, both albums are top-notch and on par.

Take their first singles: David put out Ghost, an impactful rock tune that lashes out at power-crazed and money-hungry people.

INTRIGUING SOUNDS

Meanwhile, Lee Hom delivered the R&B love ballad, Shangri-la, which is infused with intriguing oriental sounds.

Going by sales figures, both did very well despite the sluggish market.

Lee Hom's Shangri-la sold 80,000 copies in Taiwan in the 10 days after its release on 31 Dec, while David's The Great Leap has sold 150,000 copies in Taiwan since 21 Jan.

Here in Singapore, Lee Hom debuted at No 4 on the Rias (Recording Industry Association Singapore) chart, while David landed on No 3. But, when asked to pick who is more revolutionary, all except one industry source picked David.

Radio station UFM's senior producer, Ms Connie Woo, said: 'Overall, David made a bigger impact. He will drop a bomb and create a talking point. He is vocal and he is not afraid to scold people through his music.

'Lee Hom is always the gentleman, but he's more bland. He experiments with music, like using oriental instruments, but it's no big surprise because that's what we expect.'

EQ Music's marketing director, Leslie Teo agrees. He says David's music is 'more varied' while Lee Hom's is 'too Westernised'.

Classically trained in piano, violin, guitar and drums, Lee Hom graduated from Williams College in Massachusetts with an honours degree in music. (See report below.)

David, however, majored in psychology at the University of California before he was talent-scouted to become a songwriter. (See other report.)

Others felt that while Lee Hom's musical foundation may be stronger, he loses out to David in terms of creativity.

Mr Peter Tan, director of local music school, The Music Clinic, observed that while Lee Hom is able to tickle the ivories impressively, his musical style is just not as distinct as David's.

'David is more creative, has stronger ideas, and triggers musical trends,' said Mr Tan.

'Before him, who would have thought of doing (Chinese folk song) Wang Chun Feng (Forget Spring Wind) in a cappella style? This time, he also combined Chinese opera and R&B in Susan Said.'

Lianhe Zaobao's music reviewer, Miss Ng Chin Chin, added that Lee Hom is still searching for his place, while David has already found his niche.

'Lee Hom is experimenting with new elements, but has yet to make an impressive breakthrough,' she said.

STRIKING A CHORD

'David's music is more infectious and easily strikes a chord with listeners. Although his latest album is not as powerful as his previous, Black Tangerine, he maintains his standard.'

Lee Hom's relatively low profile and reticence, and his tendency of letting his music do the talking, also work against him.

Unlike Lee Hom, the socially-conscious and very talkative David is always teeming with strong views and opinions that he can't wait to unleash upon the world.

UFM's Miss Woo said: 'For Lee Hom, it's just the music. But David is able to connect to the listener at a level beyond his music. He can tell you that every song has a story behind it that reflects his views and opinions, and that listeners can relate to.'

To freelance music critic Ming Kang, however, Lee Hom's Shangri-la makes a bigger leap forward than David's The Great Leap.

He said Lee Hom's album shows more visible changes from his previous works, while David's was more like 'tried and tested'.

'In terms of creativity, Lee Hom's album has a better edge.

'He's coined the term 'chinked-out' and infuses hip-hop with oriental sounds, which is very new in the Mandopop market,' said Mr Kang.

'David's album is not vastly different from his previous. Personally, I think Black Tangerine was more revolutionary, and this (The Great Leap) is like the second episode.

'All his songs are nice, like Susan Said and The Art Of War, but you get the feeling of 'been there, done that'. You tend to get a bit disappointed because you've learnt to expect more from him.'

Mr Kang also noted that Lee Hom has come a long way from his early pop-idol days.

'Lee Hom has improved tremendously from his first album and he has caught up with David. He's better-looking and he can still be an idol, while David is getting too vain over his appearance.'

Even Mr Tan acknowledged: 'David loses out in terms of image. Lee Hom is the hunk. He has the whole package of looks and talent.'

Hey girls,

Saw LeeHom's interview on TVBS Asia last nite. The interview was held for about half an hour. I'll just pen you an excerpt of the interview which I thought was pretty interesting..........

The host asked LeeHom a few 'trick' questions based on some of the interviews and recordings he has done before.

Question 1: Is it true that you were very energetic during your 'first time'?

(Imagine LeeHom's face when this question was asked. It was so hilarious!!)

LeeHom : Uhmm....I mean, everyone has had their first experience before right? Uhmm...a beginner is a beginner...(he looked really speechless now)

Male Host: Really? We've interview the professionals and they agreed that you were very energetic!

LeeHom: Huh!!!!! They have professionals?!!! Uhmm...!!!!??

The hosts kept laughing and finally showed a clip of LeeHom playing the 'er wu' (traditional Chinese musical instrument that looks like a violin) for the first time.

Imagine the look of relief on LeeHom's face.

Question 2 : We heard that you secretly went for a holiday recently?

Again, LeeHom looked really uneasy and was speechless.

They finally showed a clip of LeeHom on a family trip. (If I'm not mistaken, it was his family trip in Athens 4 years back)

Question 3 : We heard that you were enjoying your honeymoon in Hong Kong with your 'rumoured' (A-Mei la, who else!!) girlfriend?

(wow, LeeHom got pretty defensive with this question)

LeeHom (Looked a bit dumbfounded at first) : No, that can't be true. Must be the paparazzi making things up!

Male host : We don't simply ask any questions without evidence you know, let's watch the clips...

They showed LeeHom eating at some streets in Hong Kong with one of the reporters. They girl was holding LeeHom's arm and LeeHom casually said that they are newlyweds.

Male Host : Who's that girl?

LeeHom : Who's that girl...? (thinking really hard)

Male Host : Is it a fan? Don't tell me you simply grab a girl from the street and proclaim that she's your wife?!!!

LeeHom : Uhmmm .... (still trying hard to recall the incident)

Female Host : She must have been the reporter that was interviewing you at that time

LeeHom : Yeah, that's right

Male Host : She must be very disappointed that you don't remember her

Female Host : Yeah, moreover our programme will be broadcasted in Hong Kong as well

LeeHom (looking perplexed) : Uhm....well, it was a long time ago......

Male Host : Yeah, it was. (smiling)

(Actually, LeeHom mentioned this programme in his weekly diaries before, he must be getting old....poor thing has so many things on his mind)

Question 4 : Do you cook when you're alone?

LeeHom : No, I don't have any intention of killing myself.

Question 5 : So what kind of qualities do you like in your future wife?

LeeHom : Someone that loves me

Female Host : That's such a general answer

Male Host : Any specific qualities?

LeeHom : Independent

Female Host : Must she be a good cook?

LeeHom : No, it's not a must. As long as she dares to eat what I cook. (Smiling sheepishly)

Male Host : Was that a joke? Hehehe, must give us a hint if you're making a joke in the future so that I will remember to laugh ok?

(so mean, picking on LeeHom!)

Male Host : I think the most important quality is to be able to give birth to a cute baby like Wang Jiashu right?

LeeHom : Yes, absolutely!! Btw, today is Wang Jiashu's first birthday. Happy birthday Wang Jiashu!!!

They also showed a 'home video' that LeeHom and his colleage mates made while he was filming 'China Strike Force'. The video making process was mentioned in one of LeeHom's weekly diary during his 'Forever's First Day's' album release.

That's all that I can remember. I thoroughly enjoyed the interview. Those who has Astro, it was on Entertainment News on Channel 32 aired on Thursday 11 pm. Not sure of the repeats, sorry.

Lee Hom's self-created "chinked out" style has won over Asia

10 March 2005
Sony Music News

Lee Hom's self-created "chinked out" style has won over Asia, as seen by the brilliant sales. This shows that Chinese hip-hop music is growing and developing in Asia, and even gradually moving towards the international level!

In Taiwan, in the 9 weeks since the album has been released, the album has been on the charts every single week, even taking the top or second position each week!

In China, the album has been champion of the "Zhong Yang Dian Tai" music radio charts.
Even more amazing is that the album has sold more than 600,000 copies in China, thus Sony Music held a celebration party for Lee Hom in Beijing earlier. "Xin ZHong De Ri Yue" has really created a wave of "chinked out" music!

In Hongkong, album sales have also been so fantastic that "vending machines" for the album "XIn ZHong De Ri Yue" have been set up all over Hongkong. This is a novel idea, and Lee Hom is the first ever artiste to have vending machines selling his album. To Lee Hom, for whom this is the 10th album, there is even greater significance!

3/14 Vanness performing at Kim Jo Han's concert

Fan report:

Yesterday, Vanness arrived in Korea for attending his friend's concert ... Lot's of fans were at the airport.
But, nobody see him. So, many people got disappinted in him. Someone said that he will come to Korea last saturday, so, many fan was at the airport with me...

Anyway, tonight he did good. He wore white suit and look so, cute and handsome.
Many people said about his hair. It looks so nice.

He sang 3songs. One is Kim jo han's Korean song and
"sang sang silguni" and one american song that I do not know the name of song.
He danced as well. He changed 2times one is suit second is cap with sleeveless white T-shirt.

He sang songs well, once he forgot Korean songs lylic
when he sing a song with Kim jo han .

The Korean song must be hard to remamber and he arrived yesterday so, he could be no time to remamber that....

Kim jo han said, " Vanness is my favorite friend and vanness likes Korean song (means Solid's song-The solid was Kim jo han and jung jea yoon and Lee jun made a trio about 15 years ago, they was young and popular in Korea now jea yoon is Marchi's manager and Kim jo han is solo and Lee joon work for otheres)

At the concert was for Vanness....I felt that way because VIP sit taken all the Vanness's fans.

We wish see him more often in Korea. And hope to see him at the air port...

We not sure, Vanness required to Avoid all his fan at the airport, or the concert enterprize company did that thing... many fans got big disappointed in him but, today we were so happy....crazy girls....

If anybody read this, please let us see him at the airport as well, not only at the concert.

"Vanness if you don't mind, please bring other F4 mamber as well" It is my little wish.

Love you vanness.

THE WORLD ON KEN'S EYES

1. While working in Mongolia, our biggest problem was the comfort room because I can't have any inhibitions like the locals, who just do this by digging a hole and use a cloth for cover. Three days later before leaving, I then realized that a civilized person like me think and care too much.

2. An antique VESPA from year 1959, my friend is not willing to give it away.

3. A public road in Jordan, right beside it is the Dead Sea.

4. Touring Europe often leaves me many unforgettable memories undoubtedly because the place is very suitable for nomads/roamers.

5. This is a neglected piece of puppet machine that moves when you put coins in it. At first, I thought it was just a trick but it brought me much surprise, because for a moment, it made me feel that its real.

6 Polimi is a special fruit in Southeast Asia, very delicious. This one is being used for decor cause its no longer fresh.

7. The first time I went to Europe was for the shooting of Meteor Garden 2, tiredness from the flight did not dampen my high spirits. At the hotel entrance because I accidentally met Hei Bo, who arrived there days earlier than us from his Ibiza vacation I noticed this fake being. When entering the hotel, I turned around and took another look, watching its near shadow, I suddenly felt... very lonely.

8. Those who are sitting in the first and second row and facing the camera almost all were Chinese people. I admire their patience and determination in being able to live well in a different country.

9. Its the beginning of our 4-day US-West Coast Tour, originating from San Francisco. Although when we started the trip, we didn't pass through the huge red bridge, but because of this we were able to see it more clearly.

10. The desert dwellers costume looks troublesome, but its actually very convenient.

11. For many times, I thought of getting near, but didn't push through due to the long distance.

12. Upon leaving Yunan, I took this shot in the airport to use up the remaining film.

13. Going back to Paris from Amsterdam, a corner at the train station platform.

14-15. Maybe because we have been together for so long, it can no longer be distinguished whether I'm like them or they are like me.

2 sessions of Mars in Tokyo
Zai Zai says "I love you" in Japanese, 600 fans swoon
Posted: March 13, 2005

Last night Vic Chou (Zai Zai) and Barbie Hsu (Da S) promoted the TV series "Mars" in Tokyo. They went to two sessions and ZZ was warmly welcomed by local female fans.

Da S hugs a fan
ZZ and Da S were first at a fans gathering in She Gu with about 600 fans. Da S used simple Japanese to answer questions. She also said, "When I was 14 years old I started to buy Japanese book and learned because I really liked Takuya Kimura at the time."

12 fans got to go on stage to shake ZZ and Da S' hand. One ri ji female fan first shook Da S' hand and Da S hugged her amiably. The fan was really touched. Besides seeming like her legs were weak, she also wiped her tears with a tissue. When she shook hands with ZZ, ZZ patted her on the back.

Before ZZ left, he said "I love you" in Japanese. Although he looked embarassed, but the 600 fans at the scene were pleased. There were also fans who took advantage of the time when ZZ was leaving and threw a horse mask to get his attention. When ZZ saw it, he picked it up.

Afterwards ZZ and Da S went to a radio station to get interviewed. They came into contact with about 2000 fans in the live broadcast room. Many fans were hitting the glass window to get ZZ's attention.

F4 Exhibition for 3 days, Attracted 20000 people to Support

Till today, the 15th, the Meteor Garden F4 World Exhibition has already started in Tokyo. Within 3 days, it attracted near to 20000 people to attend and admire. This exhibition was invested with more than 3000,0000 everyday pictures. Reporters carefully obersved and found out that, Meteor Garden is still the main point in the exhibition. Precious clothes that F4 wore in the show was also exhibited, not seen often !

Meteor Garden F4 World Exhibition which would be held for 18 days has started officially at Parco Museum, 7th floor. Within 3 days, a total of 20000 people came in to admire. During the weekends, there was a queuing trend, fans had to take turns for half an hour to go in. As F4 hit into the Japan industry with Meteor Garden, the exhibition's theme was done with Meteor Garden. There were huge potraits of F4 and Da S , and the clothes they wore at that time, allowing fans to admire them. Even Zaizai's Mars was being brought out.

Other than introducing F4's dramas, it had their commercials and pictorials. Magic Kitchen by Jerry and Ken's Sky of Love posters. In the scene, there was a mini movie theatre, showing F4's concert in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Also, F4's merchandise, like pictorials, albums, tee-shirts were also sold there. But, most of them have been snatched up by fans. As this exhibition attracted many people here this time, they would be doing a exhibition tour at Da Ban. Other than that, F4 would be releasing their album, Can't Lose You on the 24th of March in Japan. Yan Huo De Ji Jie would be renamed as Season of Firework and F4's first work, Liu Xing Wu would be included in the album.

Zaizai was the first lucky pioneer batch to view the exhibition, he commented, "Before the exhibition is officially opened to people, i'm the first to step inside here before everyone to see it. Seeing that F4 are able to come to Japan to meet the fans, i really can't believe it ! This exhibition this time is big-scaled, seeing that the Japan fans like it, i am so happy. If Jerry, Ken and Vanness can be here together to see this, it'll be even more perfect !"

Thanks to Singtao.

Jerry in Patty Hou's Book

Brief translation of Azio news(base on the clip by
jerryahlam,jerrybbs.com )
Only part that Patty Hou mentioned about Jerry

It's a book of her own written by herself. She wrote a story of persons whom she ever interviewed. There is also a story featuring her and her mom. The special bonus in this book is that Bao Long gave an honour to be the lead actor on this (paper) film (in another words, a non-footage film referring to her book- translator). Thanks for the relationship given from Bao Long. Despite his hectic schedule, he is so kind enough to spare his time out to act as a leading role in her paper film. She also mentioned that besides the photos taken with Bao Long, there is the story that she wrote by herself.

So maswerte kung mag 5 songs si Bi pero nonetheless siya ang headliner.Kaya I will try to get tickets. Sa Hollywood Bowl yon. WIsh me luck dahil gusto ko siyang makita in person. At up close siyempre. Winner tong concert na to dahil daming Kpop stars na kasali like si Se7en, Wheesung, NRG at iba pa. Sana nga andun din ang SHINhwa para todo pasa na yan. Kahit 120 bucks bibili ako ng front row tickets kung andun lahat ng fav. ko. I will let you know kung may ticket na ko. Selling like hotcakes dahil si BI pa naman ang gawing selling point.

Lee Hom Refutes He Did Not Copy Jay's Song

Source :Taiwan Apple Daily

In the musical arena, Jay and Lee Hom are both very talented, hence, many people like to compare these two in their song writing abilities.

Several days ago, an internet user posted a message on Alfa's website (BBS) highlighting how the guitar prelude of Lee Hom's Loving You Wrongly was very similar to Jay's older composition cloudless Days (from YHM album). Yesterday, when Lee Hom was attending a autograph function for his Shangri- La 2nd version CD, he refuted the internet user's query/opinion by using his professional attitude to tackle the problem cannot remember the prelude (for Cloudless Days), however, Loving You Wrongly has a rather slow rhythm for its prelude, just that both of us used the guitar, a coincidence that it will be similar.

Hopes The Attention is on Music

Lee Hom declares that he is not too familiar with Jay's song Cloudless Days but recognises that today's fans are very professional often finding similar music types Even using the prelude to compare. He states hope that apart from busily finding who is copying from who, people take time and a professional attitude to understand music itself.

But Lee Hom seems very concerned about this topic about half-an-hour later into the hectic autograph session suddenly exclaims to the reporters, as if just waking from a dream ! Is the song with One Star, Two Stars, Three Stars, Four Stars? It seems that Lee Hom is not too familiar with the song Cloudless Days

Bad Boy Leehom?

*For the first episode of 2005, Patty Hou went "Lee Hom, last year when we first aired this segment, you were the guest. Now in this first episode of 2005, you are again the guest!"
Lee Hom replies, "This shows that we've got fate!"
Lee Hom's quick and smooth reply denotes his slick/playboy status.

Patty Hou then detailed the rules of the game, "Lee Hom, if I draw the red packet with money, then i'll get to keep it. If you draw the red packet with a piece of paper in it, on it there will be a time written on it, and it will be how long you get to promote/sing your song for"

Lee Hom replies "Okay, but if you pick the red packet with the slip of paper, then you'll have to also promote a song, by singing live. You must sing "Wu Ding", i can play the accompaniment for you!"

During this time, the rumors of Jay and Patty were flying ever since their performance of Wu Ding in that charity concert. What is Lee Hom's intention? Bad boys have no taboo topics...

but anyways, does anyone have this clip? the red packet game? or did they not end up showing it? coz i'm pretty sure i have a clip that included the first bit.

*In the "Dumpling Competition", Lee Hom lost to Patty Hou by 1 dumpling. He suddenly remembered that he had one more "member' sitting around, and thus hurriedly fished out his rather pretty dumpling from the pot, saying "This is my "Xiao Guai" Little Precious/Obedient, how could you forget about it!". What Lee Hom is referring to is the first dumpling that he made, nicknamed "Little Precious/Obedient", that he left in the pot to cook for a long time, and which now looks like a dead fish out of water.

"Look at how pretty my "Little Precious" is, it obediently sat in the pot all this while!" The competition has ended, the winners declared, yet he still insisted on that meagre little advantage, fighting for the rights of his "Little Precious", being scared that people aren't paying attention to/ valuing his little baby. Now, who's the real baby here?

If you look at the expression in his eyes, you can tell that he's changed - bantering, smiling slyly (? i don't know what they're trying to say with »µÐ¦ - literally it means "bad smile") - exuding a strange sort of feel, unlike before where he's like plain water, or Prince Charming, with a really cleancut image that gives one a distant feel. When interviewing him in the past, all he talked about was music, music, music, as if aside from music, there was nothing else in his world. But if you look at him with that Äª²â (? no idea what this is) smile on his face, it seems like there's more and more substance to this person now.

Headline 1:
Lee Hom - Why Are You So Childish?
-the clip of his dumpling fell into this category.

Lee Hom - Do You Have Slow Reflexes?
This part described how he got tricked several times by the different hosts.

Lee Hom - You Seem To Have Turned into a Bad Boy!
- the first clip i described above about Patty Hou and Wu Ding was under this category.
- also talked about Lee Hom and his cheeky remark on Kang Xi about Xiao S's butt.

Conclusion:

There are many measures of "naughtiness/badness" - there's the type of bad boys that people love, and the kind that people detest. Lee Hom undoubtedly falls into the former category, his "badness" means no harm and is elegant, and will only serve to make life more interesting. The old Lee Hom appeared to be too upright/honest/moral, each time the conversation topic fringes upon something taboo, he will just handle it by smiling brilliantly, thus causing people to refrain from joking with him in public, as they are afraid of offending the elegant and graceful Lee Hom.

Teens magazine, Singapore,
April 2005:
On Page 44 to 45,

Entertainment by Jolene Ng

ON HIS OWN TIME

Ken Chu might be the last F4 member to release a solo album, but he's not bothered by that fact!

In town to promote his aptly named (it took three years to produce this album!), solo album, In Ken's Time, poor Ken Chu arrived in Singapore down with a flu and a swollen face. Nevertheless, he still professionally smiled
his way through the crowd of fans who are always around him and entertained the reporters with answers to their never-ending questions.

He's the last of the four members of F4 to release a solo album, and has managed to get big shots like Wu Bai, Mayday and Vivian Hsu to contribute to his album. Apart from that, In Ken's Time features two tracks by Ken, a composer and lyricist in his own right. So we guess it's no big surprise that the album made its debut at No. 2 on Taiwanese music charts.

At his earlier press conference, Ken gave very reserved and ambiguous answers. Maybe he felt intimidated facing a roomful of reporters without his other F4 mates - he did mention that he wished the others (Vanness, Vic and Jerry) were around so he would not feel so lonely at press conferences. He also revealed his biggest wish for the year - to be healthy, so that he
can do his job well and provide for his family.

Teens had the chance to catch up with Ken for a quick chat after the press conference, and Ken revealed his chauvinistic and simplistic side to us, and also spoke of his bachelor-hood!

Teens: What kind of image do you think you project to your fans?

Ken Chu: I don't project any image to them. They project an image of myself to me! I think as an idol, I don't have the right to tell people what to see when they look at me. It's more of my fans telling me how to look myself. It's a bit like the mirror in the first book of Harry Potter. You look into the mirror and you see what you really want, what you want to be and what you are lacking of. I try hard to be who I really am and it is up
to the fans to see me as who they want me to be.

Teens: Do you see yourself as a rock musician?

KC: No, not really.

Teens: You like body piercing and tattoos. You've got nose, belly button, nipple and ear piercings, as well as three tattoos. Why do you like body art so much?

KC: That doesn't mean I'm a rocker. But every piercing and tattoo has a very significant meaning for me. It's a very personal significance and you might not understand even if I told you. And even if you did understand, you might not be able to accept my kind of thinking.

Teens: Society tends to view body art as taboo. Since you like kids so much, do you think your tattoos scare them?

KC: I don't think it's bad. Having a tattoo doesn't mean I'm a gangster. I don't think kids are frightened by tattoos. Even if they are, it is because they are told from young that people with tattoos are bad.

(Philosophically) When a child is born into this world, he doesn't know what is good and bad, he only knows who is good to him and who is bad to him. Good and bad are only taught to him by the adults who are around him.

Teens: But why do you like children?

KC: I like the simplicity you find in a child. I feel that the grown-up world is too complicated. Many times, you say something and other people take it otherwise, or read a lot into it. In a kid's world, things are a lot simpler. Words are more direct. "Angry" means "angry", "hungry" means "hungry". There's no second meaning to it. I like that kind of simplicity.

Teens: You've been nominated as one of the most beautiful men in the world. How do you feel about that?

KC: (Laughs) That's an absolute joke! I don't think I'm beautiful, but if other people think so, then I'll take it as a compliment and an honour.

Teens: You once said that your ideal girl should be 'obedient and have her own style'. What do you mean by that?

KC: No one should put a tight restrtiction as to how a girlfriend should be like, because everyone is different. I think it is very unfair to set certain standards and expect a girl to meet that standard before she can be
your girlfriend. I meet many people everyday and different people give me different feelings. People also behave differently when they're in front of different people.

Having her own style means being who she really is when she is with me, and not put up a front. But being obedient is a very important point. She doesn't have to be very smart when she's with me. It's good to be smart in front of others but just as long as she's not too smart in front of me.

Teens: What would happen on your dream date?

KC: I don't really have a dream date. If two people can communicate and have a good time, it doesn't matter where they are - it would still be a good date. There is no need to plan a special program for that date. I'm a
very simple person. One of my most memorable dates was actually spent at home, not outside. It was my birthday, and the two of us stayed in, watched
TV, cooked dinner and opened a bottle of wine. It was very simple and comfortable.

Teens: Are you a neat person? What is your room like?

KC: (Guffaws) No, I'm not exactly a neat person. My room is just like any ordinary room. There's not much space to sleep. There's a stereo in my room, a massage chair in the corner, and two lamps at the bedside, the
usual wardrobe and table. And there's a charger beside my bed to charge my handphone. Well, it is a bachelor pad after all! (Grins)

In Ken's Time is available in stores.

From the productions by Hollywood's star Steven Seagal, Director Lee's action film "Dragon Squad" is about to begin filming. This movie is about international police. Vanness Wu, who'll be portraying a policeman, secretly arrived in HK to "train." Because Vanness will have shooting scenes, he went to Da Mao Shan to practice his shooting, to do some good preparation for his new movie.

After Vanness arrived in HK he went to the movie company to test some appearances. He stayed for hours before leaving. Reporters went up to him to ask him about his new movie. He, who originally wanted to say something, was prevented by staff members beside him who used privacy as a reason. But at the scene were already many fans who arrived after recieving information. Yesterday afternoon Vanness and Lawrence Chou went to Da Mao Shan to practice shooting. Vanness wore a tight gray shirt, showing his muscles. After he listened to the trainer's explanation and demonstration, he put on glasses and ear muffs and fired 50 times. During that time some staff members discovered reporters and immediately blocked them from taking pictures. After Vanness was done he went back to the movie company for a meeting.

Female lead: Eva Huang
Vanness, who has once went to Shaolin to learn martial arts, has many action scenes in the movie. According to what's known, he'll also be practicing boxing. "Dragon Squad" is a huge project investment by China, Taiwan, Korea and US. Besides Vanness, Yu Wen Le and Andy On starring in the movie, the female leads will be Eva Huang, Maggie W and Korean actress Xu Jun Hao from "Volcano High." A very strong cast.

Headline: YAN Cheng Xu, "I very much enjoy the feeling of secretly admiring someone."

It is not hard to imagine. When a sentimental and observant(?) YAN Cheng Xu falls in love, it must be like thunderstruck. After several unforgetable (the kind of love that stays in your heart) relationship, now he only wants to secretly admire a person and enjoys that kind of pure happiness. That is enough for now.

Q: Are you a brave person when pursuing love?

A: I am quite passive. I like the feeling of secretly admiring a person more. Even though I don't have contact with the person, or there is no further development afterward, I feel quite happy already. May be if I am lucky, the person may respond; if I am not lucky, then I may miss it, but it is still a good piece of memory. Like when Happy Sunday found the girl I secretly admired in high school, all of a sudden it was like I travelled back to the old time, and all the excitement and happiness was back.

Q: What kind of crazy things have you done for love?

A: Hmm, quite a lot, like in the past, when my ex-girl friend asked me to buy undergarments for her, I would go. When I think of it now, I feel that I was quite brave then. Furthermore, on one Valentine's Day, when my ex-girl friend and I were walking at Xi Meng Ding, she asked me whether I would dare to scream in public. It was a silly scene, right? But we did it anyway.

I have/had secretly admired a girl for a long time. Once I asked my friend to send her a birthday gift, but the size was not right. When my friend and she went to the store and changed its size, I rode the motorcycle, wore a hat and a mask,and peeked at them in front of the store across the street. The scene was quite funny when I think of it now.

Q: Are there any changes when you fall in love?

A: Look the same as usual, no intentional changes

Q: How do you express your feelings to the one you like?

A: I am quite afraid of falling in love. The person will be quite important to me. It is hard for me to resist others who have treated me nicely, then I will easily fall in love. I prefer to express through actions rather than words. When my friends watched Meteor Garden 1, they felt very uneasy, and asked me, "How could those lines come out from your mouth?" Actually, in real life, I am quite cool (kkla: not talkative). I don't know how to express myself by words.

Q: What is the most important thing to maintain a relationship?

A: Should be trust. In the past, when my ex-girl friend(s) went out with me, and someone asked her to dance or bought her a drink, and I usually said, "Ok." Afterthat, they always had a fight with me and asked, "Why didn't you care?" I like a relationship built on trust and then we enjoy the sweetness in the process. If I have become too controlling, this relationship won't last for long.

Q: Have you regretted missing any relationship?

A: The interesting part about falling in love is the process, not necessary the result. It doesn't matter whether it is good or bad, as long as you really enjoy it, even you are dumped at the end, it is a good piece of memory. Just like when I served my army duty in Gao
Xiong, my ex-girl friend left me for another man. In order to change her mind, I had tried so many different methods, even asked her to marry me, but it failed at the end. At that time, it is true that I was very sad, but when I think of it now, I view it differently: Thank you for dumping me at that time.

Q: What kind of girls are attractive to you?

A: Can communicate (talk) with each other is a must. She needs to be understanding/forgiving, and thoughtful/reasonable. She also needs to be filial to my mom.

I like girls who are older than me, as they are more understanding/forgiving and thoughtful/reasonable in general. In the past, I always worried about whether my girlfriends would date another person behind my back, now I feel, "It is quite stupid to think it that way." If I give her more trust, eventually she sure will understand how good this person has treated her. If I try too hard to keep her by my side all the time, it may create a lot of unsafe feelings, then it will be painful for both people to maintain a relationship.

Q: Don't you have anyone in your heart now?

A: Of course there are some "not-bad" females around, but now I am too busy with my work. I can only keep it in my heart for now. Let's see how fate will lead us to in the future.

The romantic movies recommended by Yan Cheng Xu
1. Chance or Coincidence
2. Bridges of Madison County (Jerry likes the last scene the most when the two main actors met in the car before saying goodbye)

Patty's Say
Yan Cheng Xu's unhappiness among his happiness
A lot of people may doubt: Is there really anything that Yan Cheng Xu is not happy about? He has a handsome appearance, a well-developing career, and a lot of supporting fans, but the Yan Cheng Xu I saw did not satisfy with all he has. He always thinks that it is not good enough: His English is not good enough, his view is not broad enough, and he does not have enough time, etc... This leads to a sense of unhappiness among all the happiness that he has.

Even for love, he does not easily satisfy, as when he wants space on one hand, he also wants comfort from his love on the other hand. He doesn't mind dating with an older person. He thinks that an older person can be compatible with his soul in a greater extent.

Every time when I see Yan Cheng Xu, we can always talk about everything, but he doesn't easily make a conclusion, and he always leaves room for future development. May be because of this, he can continuously improve in the future.

-------------

Yan Cheng Xu and Hou Pei Cheng (Patty) IN LOVE in the movie on paper.

In order to complete the storybook of Hou Pei Cheng, Yan Cheng Xu well cooporated in shooting the movie which Hou Pei Cheng is a screenwriter. They were supposed to be a couple and acted various romantic relationships. Although it was their first job working together, it was obviously seen that they were a boon companion.

It was their first acting as a couple. In the studio, Yan Cheng Xu and Hou Pei Cheng photographed like they were in a close relationship so the photographer could take so sweet pics. To make them being such a realistic couple falling in love, Yan Cheng Xu and Hou Pei Cheng stayed outdoor, going for a walk and holding hands. Yan Cheng Xu was concerned on Hou Pei Cheng, wearing her scarf, touch her hair. While it was raining, he also took off his coat and used it as a shelter so she wouldn't get wet. They could act as they were in passionate love.

However, Hou Pei Cheng ,almost never acted, honestly said that acting was not easy and she couldn't stop laughing. She revealed that "Too much laughing and lots of NG-Scenes! I'm also afraid the schedule might be extended coz of me. Acting is really difficult. I realized that starring like I am really that person in the role is not easy at all"

Although lots of NG-scenes, for Yan Cheng Xu, it is her advantage. He said, "That's her charm, at least, she brought a great atmosphere while working and I think she's sweet and adorable". To relax, Yan Cheng Xu usually kept talking to Hou Pei Cheng. It was their first acting as they have got a romantic relationship. They did not only cooperate but also always admired each other.

Jerry Yan learns Skill, Secretly preparing for his New Job

Ever since Jerry and Lin Zhiling's photos have been spread, there were lots of discussion from the outside world, Jerry is still "a person without a sound". When asked about it, he smiled and said, "It's nothing, my spirits have been very good so i need not reply on it."

Jerry have been in the entertainment circle for 4 years. During the early stage, he could not face the media and the outside world, whatever he said, it often got twisted, "I'm also made of flesh, being pricked, i would feel uncomfortable." After these few years of maturity, he can learn not to listen, not to speak, not to reply, stable emotions , difficult to create chaos.

Fans are concern whether Jerry is doing well ? The answer is "Great !". He'll meet his friends to play basketball every other day, go for tea. He seldom watch entertainment news because he doesn't want to spoil his mood ,"Without distractions, i can concentrate on my job."

Few days ago, under the company of his good friend, Vanness Wu and Machi, he went to the park to play basketball. "I have always loved basketball,i'll go to the gym at train at times." In the past, when Jerry was at this kind of open scenes, he would be so nervous that he'll get stomaches. Recently, he worked out and even went to the gym, preparing to recieve his coming new job, he said interestingly, "I have already worked out my 6 pack."

About the new job ? Jerry gives some clues, he said, "For this role, i'm learning a new skill, but i cannot say what i'm learning, it's a secret."

In the past, Jerry asks for perfection, and he sees everyone with the same perception and it'll bring in furious grumbles at times, he laughed and said, "People, it isn't enough to just work seriously, other than concentrating, also have to think about your colleague's sufferings and pressure. Think of their feelings, just like Andy Lau. He's always allow people around him to feel so good, i hope to be able to do that."

Jerry was lucky to be so popular, there was a period of time when he neglected his old friends because he was busy. He laughed and said, after the winds and the rains, he felt the importance of friends. Recently, his job have been relaxed and he have once again got together with them, having tea, chatting. If he don't have time to contact them, he'll use sms. He says his mood is as usual, everyone need not worry.

Thanks to China Times.

ZaiZai's designer brand "Bridegroom" Show

He never buys designer clothes, but in order for him to break into Japan, he got to wear lots of name brands for the very first time, being fussed over by the designer until he was covered in sweat all over and felt dizzy in the head, declares frankly that it seemed like he "was getting married"!

ZaiZai Zhou Yu Min, who has only gone shopping and bought a few clothes for himself only twice in the past, accepted more than a hundred interviews from the media in Japan with all the grace of a seasoned general in battle and even had close encounters with Japanese girls. Dressed all in designer clothes, he was charming and stunning, as different from the usually easy-going ZaiZai in the past as heaven from earth.

Shows class and elegance, very unaccustomed to it
This reporter accompanied ZaiZai for this interview on his trip to Tokyo. Seeing the upper-class look the stylists tailor-made for him, mixing and matching 4 different outfits, ZaiZai was enjoying in the midst of it. He said: "I don't have any opinions, respect the professionals."

One of them was a very formal-looking suit. When the stylist was tying a hand-woven Japanese silk tie on him, ZaiZai got so "tied-up" he broke out in a sweat. He changed his clothes, looking irresistibly handsome. ZaiZai, who is euphorically in love, feels that he's a bridegroom about to walk the red carpet, joking that, "This is so unfamiliar to me, I feel like I'm getting married!" Turns out this is the first time he wore a formal suit complete with tie in a public occasion.

One can see that ZaiZai is obviously in a very good mood. He's got a serious cold and his schedule for interviews is too fully packed he doesn't even have the time to eat. But he was all smiles nonetheless, answering every question promptly, and would even often tease Da S and speak about matters about him and F3 with humour.

Where before he seemed an idol who's always kept under wraps and isolated, he is now carefree yet composed, talking and laughing happily. In a span of four years, ZaiZai has gone from the country boy from Yilan, to the Taiwan idol most qualified to challenge Takuya Kimura.

Shows self-confidence, character over gold accessories
In the NT$50,000/day suite of the 5-star Westin Hotel Tokyo located in the Yebisu Garden Place, ZaiZai was having his hair done while Itoh Masaru (stylist of 'The Gospellers' and other popular groups) adjusts his outfit - dark blue suit jacket with a shiny, velvety feel to it, full of class and elegance. Faced with the reporters, he is steady and self-assured, like a superstar who has fought many battles.

When he was just starting out, all questions must be asked and answered through his manager. But now he takes on everything volleyed at him himself, every difficult question he answers easily with his own wisdom. When the topic turned to name brands, he said: "If I wear jewelry or watches I will lose it, and I often lose it, so I can't buy expensive name brands. A Thai fan once gave me a thick, gold necklace, but I've never worn it because I always fear that I'll lose it, and also it's too ostentatious."

ZaiZai wears a Cartier ring on the middle finger of his left hand, the style simple yet elegant. He said: "I used to wear a pinkie ring before, for protection against people who might want to do me harm, I wore it until I lost it in the end." The reporters joked that he probably wore the pinkie ring until 'all his friends were gone', to which he bantered, "Then it's good that I lost it." Despite hearing from everyone that there 2 kinds of pinkie ring, gold and silver, and that the effect is vastly different. Gold can cause financial losses, while silver attracts wealth, he still insists "I only wear this Cartier ring for the moment, and I don't want to take it off." Shortly after, Da S blurted out that, "ZaiZai is copying me lah", she has an identical Cartier ring on her finger as her boyfriend Lan Zheng Long (Blue) as a love token.

Shows good values, doesn't have a nightlife
Before, putting make-up on ZaiZai starts from below the forehead, because his forehead is covered by bangs, it certainly doesn't need it. And now? He said that: "I was really afraid of make-up, now I don't insist what part they can't put it. I don't even like going out usually. When I'm not working or when I don't have classes, I always just stay at home." Lately, ZaiZai is into cooking. He'd cook dishes according to recipe books, and he's most satisfied with his Japanese-style curry fried pork chop. Of course, there has to be someone who encourages and supports him, to make him do it more enthusiastically.

In reality, ZaiZai has a personality that's very low-key. He still lives simply even after becoming famous. You won't see him in nightclubs, and it won't be likely that the paparazzi will be able to take pictures of him taking his girlfriend out to a movie, because he doesn't go cinemas. Even get-togethers with F3 are often cancelled because he always muddle up the dates. Vanness would often scold him: "ZaiZai, what is it with you! You're always mixing up dates and days of the week!" Recently, Japanese girls are all falling in love with him, but ZaiZai innermost feelings wasn't really inundated with a rush of excitement. He has experienced too many over-zealous fans who chase after celebrities. "I'm not nervous, and I'm not specially excited. I'm just somewhat annoyed that, had I learned to play the guitar better, then I could now sing and play for all of you."

Pure of heart, with looks straight out of a comic book' this, then, is ZaiZai. "Meteor Garden" changed his destiny, but it didn't change the purity and sincerity of his mind.

Japanese girls love ZaiZai and Da S's comic character looks

ZaiZai, Da S, or Ella ¨C who is Taiwan's number one comic book character look-alike? "Taiwan idol dramas are so great! How did they find actors that resembles the comic characters so much?" Japanese girls are into Taiwan idols, and these Taiwan hunks and beauties who seem to be peas from the same pods as the original comic book have become Japan's most "IN" (hottest) idol topic even in the face of strong resistance.

In "Meteor Garden" who among F4 looks most like a comic book character? According to our reporter who conducted a survey among fans in the streets of Shibuya, the common consensus is that "ZaiZai looks most alike", the extent of similarity reached as high as 100%. Second is Jerry Yan, with a similarity of 70%. And Da S is "very similar, very kawaii." Similarity of 80%.

At present, Taiwan idol dramas adapted from Japanese manga that have already been released in Japan include "The Rose", "Come to my Place", "Peach Girl", "Hi, Office Lady" and "Marmalade Boy". The similarity of Ella and her character in "The Rose" is also deemed to be 75%. It has attracted much attention, and a few Japanese fans are already amassing.

Japanese TV has filmed several versions of "Meteor Garden", but most of them failed in the box office and word-of-mouth. Xie Jia Ling, a doctoral candidate of the Tokyo Foreign Language & Regional Culture Research Institute in Japan, indicated that: "Meteor Garden" (the manga) sold over 30,000,000 sets in Japan, so the average Japanese' impression on F4 (the characters) are too deep, they feel the Japanese actors don't look enough like the characters, their acting is not good enough, and the audience doesn't like it. But Taiwan's "Meteor Garden" looked so much like the comic book characters, it was like a refreshing new musical piece, striking deeply into the hearts of the Japanese people.

In the past, foreign actors must be adept at speaking fluent Japanese to be able to break into the Japanese market. But ever since the "Korean wave" invaded Japan, it didn't matter if a foreign actor couldn't learn the Japanese language in time. As long as the drama is successful and the actors good-looking, they will certainly become popular. Especially Taiwan idol dramas, most of which are adapted from Japanese manga, as long as they look enough like the characters in the comic books, then penetrating Japan will be doubly easier. ZaiZai and Da S has already proved that "comic book look invades Japan, is the IN thing of the moment".

Students Unhappy with Zaizai's bad habit, skipping lessons
School purposely covers up

Zaizai is currently promoting Mars in Japan, his appearance which looked gentle and handsome, received lots of love from the girls. Being able to be able to be popular in Japan, he is of course in a great mood. However, in the eyes of the students in his school, they were furious because of the "privileges" he gets in school.

Recently, there were students who lodge a complain of Zaizai in the school he was studying in, Hsing Wu Xue Yuan. Saying that Zaizai have been skipping lessons, and that there were numerous students and teachers who were fans of Zaizai in the school, thus helping him to cover him up with not following the school rules.

Ever since he has step into the entertainment circle, Zaizai's results have not been very good. When he first entered Hsing Wu, it caused a debate and a blur scene within classmates because he could not carry on the next sentence from the famous poem "Chuang Qian Ming Yue Guang".

After this thing happened, it was being spread to China. The China media even gave Zaizai a nickname, "Bai Ding" (a illiterate person). Not only is he not in a good level, his pronunciation isn't good either. He would pronounce "Guang Mang" as "Guan Man" , "Wan Ju" as "Wang Ju". Zaizai was even happy with it and even poke fun of his own Chinese by saying , "Shan Ni Liang Ba Si" (Shang Ni Liang Ba Zhang).

Before he entered Hsing Wu, Zaizai was a student at China Gong Shang School. At that time, F4 was famous at it's highest peak and Zaizai kept skipping school. In the end, the school swept him out but Zaizai told the outside world that he "stopped school automatically". Reporters observed that whenever Zaizai was working in the studios and received news from the school that he had to do a post-test, his face would look down. After he is out of school , he has to face the army problem, thus, in order to let his career go on, Zaizai can only find another school.

After Zaizai entered Hsing Wu, he still continued skipping lessons. Year 2003, there was once when students were furious and told the media the percentage of Zaizai skipping school was 1/3 and that his Chinese marks got deducted even before he sat for it.

However, 2 years after it happened, Zaizai made people furious again because he skipped school. Reporters went to Hsing Wu, most students have commented that they have not seen Zaizai coming for lessons. And the staff at Hsing Wu commented in a very low-profile way, saying that Zaizai's skipping classes situation isn't as bad as what the outside is spreading. School has reopen for 3 weeks. For the first 2 weeks, he has come punctually for classes. However, he took leave for the 3rd week cause he had to go to Japan for promotion. Hsing Wu emphasized that, they have already communicate with Zaizai's management company, as long as he doesn't go beyond the limits of deduction for the exams, and not give the school any trouble, the school would not benefit from anything out of it because of him.

In reality, ZaiZai has a personality that's very low-key. He still lives simply even after becoming famous. You won't see him in nightclubs, and it won't be likely that the paparazzi will be able to take pictures of him taking his girlfriend out to a movie, because he doesn't go cinemas.

[I]He never buys designer clothes, but in order for him to break into Japan, he got to wear lots of name brands for the very first time, being fussed over by the designer until he was covered in sweat all over and felt dizzy in the head, declares frankly that it seemed like he "was getting married"!

One of them was a very formal-looking suit. When the stylist was tying a hand-woven Japanese silk tie on him, ZaiZai got so "tied-up" he broke out in a sweat. He changed his clothes, looking irresistibly handsome. ZaiZai, who is euphorically in love, feels that he's a bridegroom about to walk the red carpet, joking that, "This is so unfamiliar to me, I feel like I'm getting married!" Turns out this is the first time he wore a formal suit complete with tie in a public occasion.

Rain to Release Photo Album in Asia

Singer Rain plans to release a photo album for the Asian region. His agency has recently signed a contract with a content production company to sell the singer's photo album in Asian countries, including Japan. Currently, the agency is responsible for setting the shooting schedule.

The concept of the album is still being finalized. But the content production company, which is overseeing the project, has said it wants to fully convey Rain's natural charm through the photos by capturing the singer's good looks, his boyish radiating smile, his muscular body and the charisma that he displays while performing on stage.

The singer decided to produce the album because of continuous requests from his fans. Rain's album "It's Raining" grabbed the top spot on Japan's leading music chart, the Oricon Chart, shortly after being released in Japan on Feb. 16. In the same month, the singer released the album in Thailand, successfully staging a showcase there as well. Since his debut in other Asian countries, Rain's fans have continuously requested that his agency produce a photo album of the singer.

Red Signal' on Rain's Health, Expected Drastic Stop in Activities, No Appearance in MBC `Bad Love'

Rain, both a singer and TV-actor, puts his sudden stop to his activities on coming April. JYP Entertainment where Rain belongs to said, "After carrying out the itineraries scheduled in March, Rain is expected to have enough rest period during April for the sake of heath and refreshment. Therefore, they decided Rain's appearance in MBC Drama `Bad Love' in which he would be expected will have to be declined."

It is alleged that he has appealed a drastic development of chronic fatigue syndrome recently because Rain had been deeply absorbed in singing and acting without sufficient rest for 3 years in a row since debut in 2002.

"There were relatively little time he could study acting and music because Rain had formerly carried out either home activities as in `Sangdu, Let's Go To School,' `Full House' and 2nd.3rd Album or foreign activities as in Japan and Thailand," said a spokesperson of JYP Entertainment in relation to his failing to appear in `Bad Love,' "Although he is sorry to audiences, producing companies and broadcasting stations, we would rather like Rain to greet people with a more prepared look in later time."

It is alleged that there is no apprehension of legal conflict between both sides about Rain's failing to appear in `Bad Love.' After participation in the `Chinese Music Awards' held in Pecking on coming 20th of March and in Japanese fan club's ceremony of foundation on March 31, Rain is prescribed to have relaxation period with no
itinerary scheduled in April.

"He has suffered from a nasal inflammation along with his decline in physical condition," said a spokesperson of JYP Entertainment, "If needed, he might undergo a suBi, Surgery in April...

Singer Bi is recieving surgery next month.

Due his surgery, it looks like he won't be able to appear in MBC Cruel Love.

Bi's company JYP Entertainment said "Bi always had stuffy nose and couldn't breath very well. So he went to the doctor and the doctor he needs surgery right away."

Another person said "Bi hurt his nose when he was young and as he grew up, his right nose started to get flat. The doctor said if he leaves his nose like that he won't be able to breath well and he might not be able to continue his singing career so he decided to recieve surgery in April."

"We also signed a contract with MBC for Cruel Love but as of now it seems like Bi won't be able to appear in the drama."

Bi was casted in Cruel Love in January but due to his health problems it seems he won't be able to appear in the drama.

"Surgery, after a close medical examination in hospital."

Chinese-American crooner Wang Lee Hom gives a cool twist to an uncool word in his new album Shangri-La

Magdalen Ng

Chink may be a derogatory word for the Chinese, but that hasn't stopped the Taiwanese-American singer Wang Lee Hom from using it in Shangri-La, his latest album.

in fact, the 29-year-old says the album - his 10th - embodies the spirit of chink-out". It's his made-up term for cool Chinese hip-hop whhich takes the sting out of the usual insult.

What's really cool is that he has done so even though - or maybe because - he "always faced discrimination" growin gup in the Ynited States, as he revealed at a media roundtable held at the Sony BMG office here last Friday.

The R&B popster then pointed out:"In the past, African-Americans used to loathe the word nigger, but now, they have repossessed it. You hear it in every other line of rap, and it strengthens their identity. "Besides that cool move, Wang has also infused Shangri-La with the music of China's minority communities in the hope of giving Chinese hip-hop its own identity.

As he put it: "It's high time we took pride i our own culture." To do that, Wang actually lugged about 15kg of sound equipment around China to record the music of its minority in Yunnan, Dali, Hunming and Tibet.
He recalled:"I madenew discoveries every day, and had to adapt to the many variables that could affect the recordings, like the wind."

It was worthwhile, he said, even though he ahd bouts of altitude sickness and food poisoning to boot.
The boyish-looking singer, who was musically trained in a conservatory, marvelled at how music was"part of them".

As he put it:"They have songs for hunting, songs for working - and they don't care if they're on pitch."

Shangri-La is in the shops

--------------------------

Homing in on all things Chinese

When Lee Hom was growing up, his schoolmates would call him “Chink”.

They’re just ignorant. That’s why I decided to use the term for my album,¡¨ said US-born Chinese Lee Hom, who devised the term “chink-out” in his latest album, Shangri-La.

You know how Snoop Dog (the American rapper) has his snooped out? People say that as a form of respect to him. So I want people to think of “chinked-out” as a term of respect, and maybe we can change the meaning of the word.

Asked whether the phrase and his use of rural tribal Chinese instruments in his album were just gimmicks to break into the lucrative China-market, the 29-year-old shook his head.

I went around rural parts of China to get sounds because they were fresh. I ate things like scorpions and camels though I drew the line at larvae.

He continued: ¡§In Singapore and Taiwan, you listen to all types of music. But it’s not like that everywhere.

The whole world is warming up to all things Chinese but, in music, we’re still lagging far behind. That’s why I wanted to publicize those instruments, and why I mixed them with hip-hop.

And Lee Hom knows the ugly power of discrimination intimately.

When asked why his movie career had mysteriously failed to take off after he starred in 2000 China Strike Force, he said: Firstly, no time. Secondly, I didn’t want to get the roles that Chinese people often get in the US.

Maybe there’s some merit to typecasting because it gets people jobs, but I didn’t want to hear things like, Oh you Chinese, you know gongfu?. So I’d rather concentrate on music for now.

Shangri-La is out in stores.

Leehom's mind's a blank on the topic of Miss Bai

Taiwanese singer Wang Lee Hom accidentally divulged that he once had a long-distance relationship with a Miss Bai on "Mr Con & Ms Csi", and led to many conjectures. He arrived in Singapore two days ago to promote his new album "Xin Zhong De Ri Yue" and was, as usual, avoidant when it comes to relationship questions.

"With regards to relationship questions, I like to stop at certain details," he says with a smile on his face, obviously reluctant to continue.

"Forever Love"'s a song for Miss Bai
When the reporter asked about Miss Bai, Lee Hom was hesitant and tried to divert the question to something else, refusing to say anything more. The record company personnel became anxious and hurriedly stopped the press conference.

Lee Hom surprised the two hosts of "Mr Con & Ms Csi" when he mentioned about his relationship with Miss Bai. There were previous reports which said that Miss Bai's getting married just as Wang is releasing this new album, therefore the song "Forever Love" is dedicated to her as best wishes for her wedding. It's a pity Wang has his lips clamped with regards to this matter, who this Miss Bai is, shall remain a mystery.

His 15kg bag of recording equipment
However, when the conversation was steered towards his new album, Lee Hom became very excited and shared a lot. He carried a 15kg backpack across about 40 cities in China, just so he can add elements of the minority into his new album. His backpack contains his keyboard, microphones and other such recording equipment, to facilitate recording on the spot.

For this album, Lee Hom suffered when he was in Xinjiang & Tibet, collecting exotic music to record. Although he did not get altitude sickness, he often felt giddy and short of breath every few steps.

When asked if it causes hallucinations, Lee Hom joked," I get hallucinations all the time, nothing to do with altitude sickness."

I gave all my time to my company
Lee Hom can be rather one-minded and stubborn when it comes to music. He actively goes around the world to perform, with the hope that more people can get to know chinese music.

"I hope that composers in Chinese countries and areas can have more confidence and more courage to make music. The chinese culture is very rich and to be able to let chinese music shine and be comparable in the international arena, we need to be different."

Having been int he industry for ten years, Lee Hom says that he gets to know more about himself through his compositions. The only thing he regrets is the lack of time for his family, given the hectic schedule of his work.

"I gave all my time to my company," he says with a smile.

Meteor Garden Taiwan Tour hot in Japan
Posted: March 22, 2004

"Meteor Garden"'s popularity has reached Japan. Many sakuras has fallen for F4's attractiveness. The fast-thinking Japanese businessmen are taking this opportunity to have a "Meteor Garden" tour to get some of the "Taiwan wind wealth." Dao Ming Si's mansion in the series and even the bar Ken Chu has worked at has become tourist spots.

Two years ago "Meteor Garden" broadcasted in Japan. BS satellite TV and 20 other cable channels were the first to "build the foundation." Although it wasn't broadcasted nationwide, but it already assimilate many faithful fans. It wasn't until recently did it start to show nationwide on "Japan TV." Earlier Vic Chou and Da S went to Japan to promote their drama "Mars," which will be broadcasting soon, and caused quite a stir.

This "Meteor Garden 3 days 2 nights Taipei Trip" is by JR (Joy Road). Ever since March, there's been a plane taking off from Fu Gang practically everyday. There would be special tour guides after landing in Taiwan. This trip costs 64800 Yen (about NT18,500). Depending on ranking of the hotel and the date, there are two types of plans.

During the day tourists can visit the mansion, "Da Qi Hong Xi Shan Zhuang," that was used in the drama as Dao Ming Si's home; F4's school "Dan Jiang University Art Center;" Hua Yue Hot Springs; Zhong Shan Arts Park; Tian Mu Park; cafe, etc places they filmed at. At night tourists are arranged to drink at "Shi Er Shao," the bar Ken Chu used to work at before entering the entertainment circle. Visiting so many places they have filmed at in a short 3 days is definitely worth it.

Regarding Japanese fans visiting Taiwan on a "Meteor Garden" tour, Da S, who's currently at an event in China, said laughingly, "When I was in Japan before I spent a lot. But Fengshui has taken a turn, now Japanese people are coming to Taiwan to spend."

On His Own Time

Down for a press conference to promote his debut solo effort, Ken Chu - one quarter of the fabulous F4 - tells Thom Toh taht sometimes, slow and steady wins the race.

Ken Chu is down with flu, but he is trying his best to keep his spirits up. After all he is back in Singapore - the place where he spent a wonderful time during his growing up years. This is the place where he holds the fondest memories of his adolescence, when he was young and still seaching for his own identity and answers in inlife. So, now that he is back like a homecoming king, a little flu bug most definitely isn't going to dampen his mood. Flu or no flu, he is back with aplomb to promote his debut album, On Ken's Time.

APPLES & ORANGES

Allthough Ken is the last member of Taiwanese pop group F4 to release a solo album, he is in no hurry to draw comparisons. So what if the other members of the quartet (Jerry Yen, Vic Chou and Vanness Wu) had all cut albums and chalked up glorious slaes figures? Ken reckons that they are "all different in style and there is no need to match up to anyone's comparions."

With characteristic self-deprecating humour, he calls himself a 'B-List- act, although he is quite easily the group's most gifted member. For the record, Ken Chu is a multi-talented lad who has since tried his hand at photography, singing and acting. In his spare time, the creative whiz kid also composes his own songs and writes his own lyrics.

SLOW & STEADY

No wonder the movers and shakers of the Mandopop industry have recongised his potential and rendered their full support. Taiwanese indie singer-producer Sandee Chen purportedly said that she had volunteered to work with Ken after watching him play the guitar at a concert. Furthermore, a horde of celebrated Chinese songwriters. from Taiwan's Mayday and Wu Bai to our very own Pual Lee Wei Song, have penned or produced songs especially for Ken.

In the hands of these musical geniuses, Ken is off to a good start. IN his 11-track debut, his composition Revival is fast becoming a hot rocking number amongst the young crowd and gaining frequent airplay. Interestingly, his sensitive ode to his muse, Andrey Hepburn, in the track Black And White, has the critics marvelling at his never-seen-before depth. You might expect Ken to turn smug with the flood of positive feedback, but he continues to maintain the laidback style that he awalys been well-known for, even during te F4 mania.

THIS IS HOME, TRULY

You have to bear in mind that Ken is an independent and sensible Capricorn, born on 15 January 1979 in taiwan. His childhood was largely spend in the homes of strangers because his mum was busy eking out a living. One such family who took him in was a Singaporean aunty, thus explaning Ken's affinity to our island. In the eight years he lived on our island, he attended Bukit Merah Primary and Boon Lay Secondary. Throughout his long stay here, Ken easily ingratiated himself with our local culture and even became quite the quintessential Singaporean - cultivating and speaking Singlish. No wonder till today, despite having catapulted to fame as Taiwan's F4 poster boy, he still remains very Singaporean at heart.

THE METEOR IS NO FLASH-IN-THE-PAN

After his teenage years, he returned to Taiwan where he later began work as an assistant on the set of the popular variety programme Super Sunday. However, that first brush with 'fame' led him nowhere fast. It was only while he was waiting tables at a BBQ restaurant that he was discovered by a producer. Following a makeover, he soon landed himself bit parts in film and television. Just like any newbie to showbiz, he had to pay his dues and wait it out for that proverbial big break, which was to present itself as the immensely popular idol series Meteor Garden for ken.

When questioned about his thespian dreams, Ken candidly claims he never harboured any. Instead, he preferred singing to acting. Still, he is not complaining that people are seeeing him more as an actor than a singer.

"It's good that I gained popularity first as an actor. If i began my career through singing, I'd probably not be successful," he says matter-of-factly. It is this honesty that draw people to him, because he is not afraid to speak his mind and has never resorted to politically correct answers. Sure, he might not be the most gorgeous chap when standing next to his F4 mates, but he sure is the most down-to-earth one with whom the people can connect.

GOING SOLO

Although may have been speculating how he must be feeling the galre of the media on his own, Ken is undeniably holding the fort well.

"When reporters grill me and I don't feel like addressing certain issues, I just wish the others were around to share the burden," Ken says wistfully. Then he leans back and smile lightly, as if remembering some private joke concerning his buddies.

Thankfully for Ken, members of his international fan club are more than willing to share his burden. At his press conferenceheld at Ochard Hotel, fans from more than 13 countries turned up in full force to lend him moral support, as well as bearing welcome gifts from all over the globe. Ken's luggage back to Taiwan would now include servral unlikely but all equally treasured items, such as English tea, Canadian ice wine, Japanese sake, Vitenamese hat, Malaysian drums and local 4D and Toto. No wonder, Ken is feeling over the moon despite being on this trip without his Flower Four buddies.

You give Ken Chu the once-over and know that he is trying his very best to crave a career for himself. He keeps his feet firmly on the ground even as he reaches for the stars above him. You know you have to wish him well, and give him two heartfelt thumbs-up. Flu or not flu, Ken Chu is back with a bang.

ON HIS OWN TIME

Ken Chu might be the last F4 member to release a solo album, but he's not bothered by that fact!

In town to promote his aptly named (it took three years to produce this album!), solo album, In Ken's Time, poor Ken Chu arrived in Singapore down with a flu and a swollen face. Nevertheless, he still professionally smiled
his way through the crowd of fans who are always around him and entertained the reporters with answers to their never-ending questions.

He's the last of the four members of F4 to release a solo album, and has managed to get big shots like Wu Bai, Mayday and Vivian Hsu to contribute to his album. Apart from that, In Ken's Time features two tracks by Ken, a composer and lyricist in his own right. So we guess it's no big surprise that the album made its debut at No. 2 on Taiwanese music charts.

At his earlier press conference, Ken gave very reserved and ambiguous answers. Maybe he felt intimidated facing a roomful of reporters without his other F4 mates - he did mention that he wished the others (Vanness, Vic and Jerry) were around so he would not feel so lonely at press conferences. He also revealed his biggest wish for the year - to be healthy, so that he
can do his job well and provide for his family.

Teens had the chance to catch up with Ken for a quick chat after the press conference, and Ken revealed his chauvinistic and simplistic side to us, and also spoke of his bachelor-hood!

Teens: What kind of image do you think you project to your fans?

Ken Chu: I don't project any image to them. They project an image of myself to me! I think as an idol, I don't have the right to tell people what to see when they look at me. It's more of my fans telling me how to look myself. It's a bit like the mirror in the first book of Harry Potter. You look into the mirror and you see what you really want, what you want to be and what you are lacking of. I try hard to be who I really am and it is up
to the fans to see me as who they want me to be.

Teens: Do you see yourself as a rock musician?

KC: No, not really.

Teens: You like body piercing and tattoos. You've got nose, belly button, nipple and ear piercings, as well as three tattoos. Why do you like body art so much?

KC: That doesn't mean I'm a rocker. But every piercing and tattoo has a very significant meaning for me. It's a very personal significance and you might not understand even if I told you. And even if you did understand, you might not be able to accept my kind of thinking.

Teens: Society tends to view body art as taboo. Since you like kids so much, do you think your tattoos scare them?

KC: I don't think it's bad. Having a tattoo doesn't mean I'm a gangster. I don't think kids are frightened by tattoos. Even if they are, it is because they are told from young that people with tattoos are bad.

(Philosophically) When a child is born into this world, he doesn't know what is good and bad, he only knows who is good to him and who is bad to him. Good and bad are only taught to him by the adults who are around him.

Teens: But why do you like children?

KC: I like the simplicity you find in a child. I feel that the grown-up world is too complicated. Many times, you say something and other people take it otherwise, or read a lot into it. In a kid's world, things are a lot simpler. Words are more direct. "Angry" means "angry", "hungry" means "hungry". There's no second meaning to it. I like that kind of simplicity.

Teens: You've been nominated as one of the most beautiful men in the world. How do you feel about that?

KC: (Laughs) That's an absolute joke! I don't think I'm beautiful, but if other people think so, then I'll take it as a compliment and an honour.

Teens: You once said that your ideal girl should be 'obedient and have her own style'. What do you mean by that?

KC: No one should put a tight restrtiction as to how a girlfriend should be like, because everyone is different. I think it is very unfair to set certain standards and expect a girl to meet that standard before she can be
your girlfriend. I meet many people everyday and different people give me different feelings. People also behave differently when they're in front of different people.

Having her own style means being who she really is when she is with me, and not put up a front. But being obedient is a very important point. She doesn't have to be very smart when she's with me. It's good to be smart in front of others but just as long as she's not too smart in front of me.

Teens: What would happen on your dream date?

KC: I don't really have a dream date. If two people can communicate and have a good time, it doesn't matter where they are - it would still be a good date. There is no need to plan a special program for that date. I'm a
very simple person. One of my most memorable dates was actually spent at home, not outside. It was my birthday, and the two of us stayed in, watched
TV, cooked dinner and opened a bottle of wine. It was very simple and comfortable.

Teens: Are you a neat person? What is your room like?

KC: (Guffaws) No, I'm not exactly a neat person. My room is just like any ordinary room. There's not much space to sleep. There's a stereo in my room, a massage chair in the corner, and two lamps at the bedside, the
usual wardrobe and table. And there's a charger beside my bed to charge my handphone. Well, it is a bachelor pad after all! (Grins)

In Ken's Time is available in stores.

After Vic Zhou became a "celebrity student", he have been pointed as "skipping classes" at times. It was also spread around that Zaizai has different treatment in school. He didn't get marks deducted even though he skipped classes, this caused students to be unhappy. The victim, Zaizai, feels very unreasonable, he doesn't wish to affect his classmates life because of him !

Zaizai, who works and study at the same time, is currently a student in Hsing Wu Ji Shu Xue Y! uan's 3 year student in Jin Xiu Department. Ever since F4 went popular, no matter which school that Zaizai studied in, every week, there would be media visiting. They would be secretly fliming him in class studying, his car. Not only it affects his mood during lessons, it also affect the other students' normal life. Whenever a media comes and take pictures, Zaizai would automatically apologize to his classmates.

Recently, another taiwan media have went into his class again. As they did not see him, they reported that he is skipping lessons. At the same time, they reported that he did not get his marks deducted although he skipped so many lessons, bringing students to be unhappy with him. According to what was known, Zaizai wasn't skipping lessons, but he have taken a half day off because the night before, their discussion for his new solo album only ended late in the night thus he took half a day off. Other than that, students in class not only do not grumble , but they prot! ected him alot. Whenever a media comes looking for Zaizai, students would normally say, "there isn't such a person !" , or they would get Zaizai to first get away before returning to class after the media have left.

Skipping classes problem have become the attention of the media. Zaizai have admitted that earlier on when he went to Japan to promote Mars, he took a week's leave and missed out some homework, but he have already cleared all. As to the school becoming a place for the media to interview, to this, Zaizia feels very bad. The worse thing is to disturb the other students, whenver a media comes to his school, Zaizai faces a kind of pressure. Not only he cannot concentrate in class, his mood would be highly affected.

In order to avoid the media chasing and interviewing him, Zaizai sometimes does not drive his own car to school as he have met media who drive along with him on roads. In order to prevent any accidents, he sometimes takes others' car to school.

Thanks to ent.tom.

F4 "Typhoon" is blowing in Japan
Posted: March 30, 2005

With its debut single "Can't Lose You" ranking No. 13 on the Oricon charts the first week after it was released, F4 has becomes the first Taiwan artist to make the top 20 Oricon charts. Oricon charts' official web site indicates that F4 is typical of Taiwan singers. Besides being well-known in Taiwan, they are also very famous in Asian countries such as China, Hong Kong, and Thailand.

Actually, Singers who were previously active in Japan such as Theresa Deng, Feifei Ouyang, and Vivian Hsu also appeared on the charts before, but their songs were mostly Japanese songs. F4 is the first Taiwan singer group to release Chinese songs in Japan music market. So they are named the first Taiwan group to have made the top 20 Oricon charts.

Because it is a Tai wan TV series based on Japanese manga and then reverse-imported back to Japan, Meteor Garden starring Vic Zhou and others has become a topic people talk about. Meteor Garden is being aired on Tokyo MX cable TV across the country and has been well received by young audiences. Along with the success of TV series, F4's "Can't Lose You" single has sold 12 thousand copies in its first week of release and ranks No. 13 on the Oricon charts.

Generally, F4's "Can't Lose You" single is expected to have a chance to continue climbing as Meteor Garden will be broadcast for a long period time.

Besides TV series, the three F4 movies are scheduled to be shown in Tokyo theaters. F4's photo albums, DVDs have already been published in Japan. It looks that F4 is to replace Korea Wave and starts Taiwan Wave across Japan.

Wei Zai Lian fixed, Li Wei OUT

Zaizai and Xu Wei Lun is really together ! Not only the both of them were high-profiled in wearing the same Cartier love ring, according to what is known, XWL told her close friends, the reason why they were being flim being together was because Zaizai hoped that their relationship would be open sooner. Once these words were out, Zaizai had benefit to the term "Two boys chasing a girl". XWL had feelings for Zaizai, thus making Li Wei the official "ex-boyfriend". In this "wooing girl war", he is officially OUT.

XWL friend said, XWL and Zaizai have been together since long ago, "They have been flimed together for quite a few time, Zaizai was okay with it, he has the intentions to open up this relationship." Ever since 1 and a half years ago when Zaizai started wooing XWL, he would show his admired feelings through the media and he wou ld ask for concern about XWL through reporters. This way of looking at people of wooing business, it'll be hard if the beauty doesn't recognize.

Which guy would not want to let the whole world know they have a beautiful girlfriend ? When Zaizai was in Japan, he purposely showed the Cartier ring in which "he will always wear". Privately, he goes out with XWL and being flimed by reporters. He generously showed his "sweet hint" to the reporters. Zaizai's high-profiled way made XWL feeling intimate at heart but embarassed when being asked by the media.

As both of them are in different management companies who treat the media differently, XWL would often talk to the reporters during a press conference. And, under the protection strategy of the company, Zaizai has less interaction with the media and he cannot openly showed his love. Thus, this Wei Zai Lian often could only be endorse from XWL's mouth. After Li Wei and her relationship became sour, it gave her great pressure . She was afraid if she said too much, it would blurred the main motive, if lesser, she felt sorry to her fans and the media.

But still, XWL isn't willing to let loose her mouth on Zaizai and herself. This is because, for 3 years of herself in the entertainment circle, from Li Wei to Zaizai. The news of her on newspapers were always gossips, causing both her friends and fans not knowing what she was doing recently. She finds her hard work not having any reward and feels very bad about it.

The more low-profiled XWL was, the more the media would try to grab information on the ring, meeting for movie. As XWL couldn't handle, she just said this at the press conference, "I will not say anything more." However, being a Scorpio, her character was very straightfoward and doesn't like to keep lies. She would even place "Doesn't like artists who are different down and upstage" beside her , being a known person and with a tinch of girly sense, we could see she was very uneasy w ith not answering the question.

XWL was in the situation of "can do, but not tell". Towards Zaizai's "high profiled sincerity", she said, "High profiled ? I think it's okay ?" After which, she slog her head down for 3 minutes before saying with a expression, "I can only say, from the start till now, the feeling is good." She said quietly, Zaizai is definately a "Biao Li Ru Yi" person, the kind that she likes, she hopes the outside world would give her some space and allow her to develop naturally. Continued, she gave a hard smile and wave her hand and said, asking them not to continue asking.

As to the "sweet hint" strategy backstage, Zaizai, whether he really want to aunnounce his relationship, his manager, Zhi Xiang Li said, "Being secretly flimed when going out to play, it's not a matter of aunnouncing or not. When they go out, it's always with a group of people, we can never see them interacting alone. We don't have a ghost in our heart, they can flim all they like , there isn't a need to hide. All are young people, it's not a big deal to go out together."

As to Wei Lun wearing the same love ring, Zhi Xiang Li's reply logic was, "Zaizai wore the ring to ward off bad luck(fang xiao ren), he have went to see which finger he was suppose to wear it on. " Zaizai spent 3 to 40000 ring which celebrities love to use as a love ring to ward off bad luck , broke a record to customs of buying a ring to ward off bad luck. He purposely wore it on his index finger person he wanted to ward off ? At this point of time in the wooing girl war, it's pointed towards Li Wei.

However, whether was it a love ring or a ring to ward off people, it was a fact that they were wearing the same ring. Regarding this, F4's manager, Zhi Xiang Li, who have handled their relationship situations numerous times gave a wonderous answer, "People driving the same car, does it mean they are related to one another ? Is there a problem drinking the same drink ? Female celeb rities wearing the same top, does it mean they're together ? Students all wear the same uniform, does it mean the whole school has something going on ?"

Using, "wearing the same ring" , "wearing the same shirt", "meet to go out" to determine a celebrity's relationship is what everyone would do. However, using female celebrities wearing the same shirt and school students wearing the same uniform and having something going on, it's a humourous way of saying that. But, only the person himself knows.

Note on Wei Lun Relationship

Aug 2003 - Both worked together in Love Storm, Zaizai took liking to XWL. Not only he would look at XWL and go into a daze at the set, he would go to her drama "Lian Xiang" and tan ban.

Jan 2004 - XWL went back with Zaizai to Yilan during New Year, played basketball holding hands. Zaizai, who was wooing XWL said they were only friends, he knws XWL has a boyfriend.

Feb 2004 - Li Wei, XWL's relationship turned sour. XWL said ope nly, "Has become friends, asked for concern sometimes." Li Wei still doesn't let loose on the break-up.

June 2004 - Rumoured that Zaizai and XWL officially started dating. Li Wei said, "If it's real, i'll give my blessings."

Aug 2004 - XWL falls into depression due to relationship problems. Zaizai openly comforted her and asked her to "Eat More."

Feb 2005 - During new year, Zaizai and XWL in similar outfits went for a movie together. XWL took care of his wallet and car keys. All was exoposed. Li Wei purposely went to Shuang Bi Chuan Shuo to tan ban.

Vanness Wu praises Jerry Yan and Lin Zhi Ling as a Compatible Match

Although Vanness and Jerry were good friends, Vanness said he didn't know whether Jerry and Lin Zhi Ling were together or not. He said, "Whenever we meet up, we seldom talk about relationships, we'll only talk about work, trends and basketball." (If they are together, do you think they are compatible?) "He's so handsome, he'll look good no matter who is he with. I don't know Lin Zhi Ling personally, of course she's pretty. She has the title of Taiwan's First Model, she didn't get it for no reasons."

F4 gathers troop to Japan

F4 defeats but is churning back. These 4 handsome guys who have gone their own ways since 2 years ago, under the huge and popular request of the Japan media and fans, will gather their troop and march in to Japan. Yesterday, manager Zhi Xiang Li have confirmed, "They have ticked names that all of F4 must be present, commercials and program invites must all be together. We will try to make it happen fast." According to what is known, the amount of salary for commercial that the Japan has given, is 3000 0000, 4000 0000 for each, it was 4 times the price in HK, Tw and China.

Meteor Garden in which F4 leaded in was popular all over Asia, it was only fevered to Japan the latest. The single that they released has also been taken liking by the Sakura ladies. And it became the hottest topic level on Taiwan idols in Japan's tv scenes. However, the 4 of them have already gone their own ways, each of them had their own job, many Taiwan fans were worried for them, "If they don't quickly grab the shore, it'll be burnt."

Management company, Fu Long, is recieving the pressure from Japan's side. They have been negotiating that they'll try to reduce all things that were coming in to the lowest level to complete this. Zhi Xiang Li expressed, "Japan television stations have given several special design cases, food commercials, and they want all 4 to be in the screen, the salary is rather good, right now, there are 3 or 4 who have come knocking." If it's being calculated for 1 as $4000 0000, it'll be a million dollars just on the commercials alone. It looks like, the good times of F4 in Japan are about to start.

When Lin Zhi Ling appeared at TVBS yesterday, she created a huge chaotic wind. She emphasis Jerry Yan is only a friend and does not put away the idea of marrying in a flash and that she wants to give birth to a Long Fong Tai (a boy and a girl)

Facing the problem regarding her photos taken with Jerry, Lin Zhi Ling explained, "Every friend is as important, friend's pictures is just like a memory warehouse. It's just that he's a known person thus it's being made bigger to be explained. " In future, she'll still take pictures with her handphone but as to bringing it for repair, "I'll try not to !" As for Jerry, he's only "A Important friend."

Class Begins! But Where Is Zai Zai?

Udnstar- 28 March 2005

Zai Zai Zhou Yu Ming skips classes very often and antagonised some of his classmates. Udnstar reporter spot checked on him yesterday and true enough, Zai Zai was no where to be found in his school. In the same school are Zheng Yuan Chang, Ruan Jing Tian and He Jun Xiang. All were present in school yesterday except Zai Zai.

Studying in the 3rd year in Xing Wu Ke Ji Xue Yuan, Zai Zai has lessons every Saturdays and Sundays. Some time back, he applied for 1 week leave when he was required to go to Japan to film the drama, Mars. However, he was absent from school again yesterday. He missed the 9.25am class and was still not seen when the next class began at 10.20am and right till noon, there was still no sight of him. It seems that he hasn't been attending many lessons this semester too.

Although he was absent, many of his classmates still stood up for him. But one of them said he didn't know who Zhou Yu Ming was and even replied that there isn't such a person in this class. This showed that there are also some people who are displeased with Zai Zai's frequent absence. According to his managing agent, he revealed that when he spoke to Zai Zai on the phone yesterday, Zai Zai has just woken up and was preparing to go to school, he would at most be late but would not be absent the entire day. He added that Zai Zai is in the midst of recording his new album. He has also been invited to star in a movie in Hong Kong, hence he is busy learning and brushing up his English and Cantonese. If he really skipped lessons, it wasn't intentional.

Some of his classmates suggested to the reporter to lookout for a black Audi that Zai Zai always drives to school. If he sees the car, he would find the man but after looking around, the reporter could not find the black Audi.

Although Zai Zai seldom gives his autograph or take pictures with anyone in public, he is very friendly and would always oblige when asked in school.

'Ken,' Honest and Pure Musical Heart
Translated by: Mindy @ KCC Thailand

Because the charm of F4 never fade away, no matter how many times he has come to Thailand, a densely number of 'fans' are still with him. Ken told us that he was so impressed with Thai fans at Pattaya International Music Festival, especially when he entertained the audiences by singing 6 songs in a row. He was so surprised that his fans could sing "Never Stop" along with him since from the beginning to the end. This is just like the power that drives him to keep working on music. Ken also said that his solo album "On Ken's Time," was elaborately refined to be the most perfect album as he could. If the album is not good, why should he have one?!! Hmm, true!!!

'Ken,' a member of popular taiwanese boyband, F4, giving us an interview that he both sang and played guitar at the concert in Pattaya. Ken insisted that he is very down-to-earth. He would prefer fans to admire his work rather than his appearance. He was glad coming to meet with fans in Thailand, yet his heart was even more delighted when he knew that that Thai fans can sing his songs.

Ken also has his own pop-rock band named "Free Bird." His favorite singer is a British band "The Beatles."

It is a little regret that he never talked about the "girl in his heart" which might hurt his fans' feeling somehow.

Ken Chu, Happier if he is not a Artist

F4's Ken Chu started to work to earn money at 16 years old, clearing plates at resturants, distributing flyers on streets, runnign errands with the bicycle, and even moving stones at construction sites. Hard work ? He shook his head and said, "Among so many jobs, it's the hardest work being a artist !"

His character was very disobedient since young. While he was in secondary school, he was being nagged by the teacher because his hair was too long. The next day, he shave his hair bald and went to school. In the end, he was being marked because he was being to defending on himself. After he came out to the society, his disobedience didn't change, he continued to do piercings on his body, belly, nipple, nose, he was full of piercings throughout his body. He said, "I'm disobedient but i don't commit crimes. That's because i know it's my life, if i'm being caught for doing bad things, i will have to be responsible for my actions."

Never beg others

Because of this character, he used both his hands to earn money from young, Wai Hui, services at hotel, western resturant, distributing flyers, bubble tea shops, KTV, Fast messages, moving co, moving stones, roast stores, pet shop, modeling, backstage logistics to being a celebrity, he was a King's worker. He said proudly, "I started earning money at 16. I have never beg anyone, compared to doing hard jobs, i find that it's embarassing if a guy cannot support himself !" Doing so many jobs, which job is the hardest ? He said without thinking, "It's the hardest being a celebrity."

Being Cheated & Being Angry

He said, although being a artist allows you to earn money fast, sees more. You have to make yourself feel like a merchandise instead of a human during work. You have to endure being cheated and getting angry," Many people bully you when they know you are an artist, they get you a cigarette box for you to sign. If you don't sign on it, they say you're acting big-shot, they don't respect people at all! When you're buying things, some bosses would purposely fixed high prices. If you don't buy them, they'll say, "Earning so much yet so stingy!"

Ken Chu Ends the 3 "difference" to be a Chinese

F4's Ken Chu recently got interviewed by HMC, he began speaking alot about his background 3 "differences" relationship.

Ken was born in Taiwan, at nine years old, he went to Singapore to study, after 8 years at 17 years old, he went back to Taiwan. He said, "Right now, most young people would say :I'm a Taiwanease, i'm from Hong Kong, or I'm from China. That was what i've said previously: However, after that, i'll say i'm a chinese. No matter where am i, as a chinese, i think it's the thing to be proud of. In fact, not only is it our cultural background or history, lots of big logical fields that have been passed down by us(chinese), have been improved alot compared to other places. I'm personall a more China, Lao zi (old), Zhuang Zi logic person. I'll admire and push out Ou jia and dao jia's thinkings. I find that, many other countries still cannot catch up to the thinkings of chinese people. On the appearence, i'm a true chinese, many people would dye their hair, but i will never. Because Chinese people should show the smell of the Chinese."

Ken had just released his solo album On Ken's Time. In it, there's a Cantonese song, Fen Shou Yi Bai Tian, letting Hk fans to be over the moon. Ken smiled and said, "I recorded this song in Taiwan for 3 days, and later recorded it in Hk for 3 days. It wasn't recorded properly in Taiwan, that's because no one spoke to me in Cantonese and it's hard to submerged myself in it. After i came to Hk, the song was recorded."

The Ken Chu Before and After Music

I's not really familiar with F4's Ken Chu. I only heard of his personality, likes, background and so on from others.

Getting in contact with Ken Chu gave me two different cognitions of him.

Perhaps it's due to his fully packed schedule which made him mentally and physically exhausted (On the day he featured for HMC, he already did 2 interviews and still have 3 more to go!).

Hence, he seemed to be a bit moody and agitated when we were choosing the clothes for photo-taking. I was worried for him by looking at his wrinkled eyebrows and weary eyes.

But fascinatingly, when he requested to change the music we were playing into the ones he like which were from his iPod, it seemed as if he suddenly turned into someone else and immediately became a bright soul. His glowing spirit changed him into a really gentle man!

From then on, I strongly believe that music can really change one's life, and I understood that Ken Chu is born to work in this field.

Cover Story

Ken Chu's Triangular Relationship

To be honest, I don's have a really deep understanding of F4. To list out their past?

I'm sorry I only have limited to give. Today, only Ken Chu of F4 is before me, no one else, no comparisons, just solely understanding his background, views and then unearthing his three separate relationships.

First of all, we must have a concept of KenChu's background:

He was born in Taiwan, and went to Singapore to further his studies when he was 9. After 8 years, he returned to Taiwan at the age of 17. After he became an artist, he visits Hong Kong all the time for promotions.

Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong. Though all three places are Chinese, when we carefully observe them, we're discover that they all have different national characteristics. Today, we're not going to analyze the political relationships of these places, nor are we going deep into the topic of the Four Dragons of Asia; instead, we're going to start off with the tall and strong-built Ken Chu who's right before us!

All from the Same Root

To me, one who has never lived in Taiwan and studied in Singapore, knows very little about life in these places. All I know is that they all possess a strong sense of traditional Chinese colors. Ken stayed in several places during his childhood, so what he sees and feels will certainly be different. So the first question I asked him was, “What do you think of the national characteristics of these 3 places??

Without any hesitation, Ken replied definitely, comparing with any overseas country, these 3 places still preserves very much of the Chinese culture.?By Ken's appearance, like his long hair, I thought that he had a westernized character?

nowadays, many youngsters will say: I'm Taiwanese, I'm Hong Kongese or I’m from Mainland China. I used to say that too, but now, I say I'm Chinese. No matter where you are, I'm very proud to be Chinese. In fact, not only in the context of our culture and history, many great theories are developed by us, and are much more advanced than the others.

Personally, I'm rather Chinese? for I really appreciate Confucianism and Taoism. I believe that many foreign countries have not yet pursued our Chinese way of thinking?

I have never thought that Ken's mind would be so full of Chinese concepts. You can understand how much he loves his national traditions in just a simple conversation.

Ken says that he takes Chinese tradition with honor. He admires the glorious 5000 yeared culture and remarks his outstanding nationality semblance, I am born like this, with black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, in every sense, a Chinese.? Many people like to dye their hair to catch up with the trend. Ken looked into the mirror and told me he would not, because a Chinese should give out the flavor of Chinese.

Home Sweet Home

Besides Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong, Ken has also lived in Thailand and Malaysia for some time. Having been to so many places, he must know a lot. Under the same blue sky, is the world really different? “More or less, there are differences, but the difference is not because I've arrived in Taiwan or in Hong Kong. Each place is so big and everyone is an independent individual, as you run in all directions, you will have completely different views. I studied in Singapore, grew up in Taiwan, and worked in Hong Kong, on the other hand, my family came from Nanjing, therefore that’s my ancestral origin. Having several statuses is hard for me to tell what my national character is!?

After some thought, Ken said, i have been to these places back and forth since infancy to maturity, but I haven't adapted myself to any place in particular. You can say I'm good at settling into new places. Every place I go to, I'd do what the locals do, because it's very easy for me to accept the views people have at different places.

Umm.... you just have to give me two weeks, then I'll get used to that place.?

Of course, once you enter township, you have to follow the customs (a Chinese saying-jessie), on the other hand, this training he had since childhood has developed him a sense of confidence and thus making him more independent and stronger in mind. However, even the man of steel will be tired at times. Having spent so many years outside running to and fro, there is certainly a place he loves most.

i like Taiwan more, because I was born in Taiwan and I grew up in Taiwan. At least I think no matter what I want to do and where I want to go, it's convenient here.?I believe, to any person, home is the best place for rest.

Eat What's on the Chopping Board

Perhaps you might not think that cooking is an act of independence, but I always do, for eating is a natural act of living.

Ken Chu, who is highly independent, is also one who likes to eat and cook. the weather, culture and environment of a place affects the ingredients and dishes. I like everything. There's nothing I don't like to eat, nor do I have any special preference, because my personality is that I have the guts to try everything! When I went to Thailand and China, I tried a lot of strange things, like insects, bats and much more!?

Though there are so many appetizing cuisines, cooking is entirely a different stream. Ken remarks that he usually starts off by eating, paying attention to the sense?and techniques of how others cook. Why did they do it this way? What flavor will this make?? You can say it's a question of observing, thinking and practicing.

“For example, when I visit a restaurant and see that grilled egg, I will ask, why is the egg grilled? How do I grill it??And then, if I like it, I’d try it out at home. The result? should be delicious, if not, why would I try to make it? Ken's confidence in his cooking is overflowing?

First Aspiration

Having just promoted his debut album On Ken's Time? his Hong Kong fans were delighted to know that there is a Cantonese song ? 100 Days of Separation. Ken smiled while recalling, Mandarin songs, Cantonese songs is just a matter of the environment to me. I recorded it for 3 days in Taiwan and then for another 3 days in Hong Kong. It wasn't completed in Taiwan because no one talked to me in Cantonese, so it was hard for me to get into it. The song was completed in Hong Kong, because people talked to me in Cantonese, which made it easier for me to make it.?

Regardless of what language you use, music itself is the media for communications. Professional musicians have their own attitude to enjoying music. Ken remarks that his attitude is genuine, that really touches me, is neither the fancy stage, nor the illusions and how glittering the performance is. What I care is purely the music which moves me. Good music impresses people, and can be sensed by one's heart.?

Ken believes that fancy music doesn't suit him, so in his present and future albums and his performances, he hopes that he can make the most out of the basics.

I think that pop music is made out of plastic. It looks really attractive, but if you strike it, it would fall into pieces. You get enough of it after listening for some time.

In terms of music, I prefer what's made of wood. It feels solid and even though you're put it there for a long time, you can still be infatuated with it. You can listen to it for so many times, with different feelings each time.?Regarding this, I have the same feeling. Regardless of the lyrics or the melodies, oldies always manages to strike a chord and are worth listening to for hundreds of times.

Notes

On the day of the interview, Ken had this weary look on his face. We asked his manager if this trip to Hong Kong is very busy.

Before we came for this interview, there were 2.? And then? ? more?Oh, that's tiring! There's no way out, because our trip is short so we have to make full use of every minute, every second.?

As soon as Ken went into position, it seemed as if he immediately recharged himself to posing before the camera. And after that, attentively doing the interview. I can feel from my heart, how professional he is.

KEN DOLL

Not exactly known as the cutest F4 member, KEN CHU still evoked plenty of excited squeals and, strangely, lottery tickets from giggly fans.
By Low Lai Chow

Here at a press con to promote his debut album, KEN CHU finds himself in a bit of a pickle. Some smitten fans have cornered him with a stack of lottery slips (lovingly tucked into a red packet) - they won't let him quit the entertainment scene if he wins the loot! To which Ken jests beguilingly, "Does that mean I have to retire if I don't strike it rich?" LIME catches up with Ken to see how he's doing sans Vanness, Jerry and Vic.

LIME: You've said that given an option, you would have chosen to
kick-start your career in music. Sounds like you can hardly wait to fly solo.

KEN CHU: (Laughs) I'm not impatient. When I signed up with the company I wanted to be a singer. But then I shot Meteor Garden and became very 'hong' (Mandarin for 'popular') because of it.

L: With the release of your debut album On Ken's Time, does it bother you that your solo career will be overshadowed by F4? I mean, you guys were a massive phenomenon.

KC: No, not in the least. I don't need to exorcise the past - it's all
part of my career as an artiste. I don't consider F4 as excess baggage. If anything, Meteor Garden was a helpful stepping stone towards my solo career. It launched me into the consciousness of many television viewers.

L: Did you get any jitters from cutting your first album?

KC: Hardly. All that was on my mind was to make a good record. Overall, I think it was a good attempt.

L: You were the last out of F4 to release your solo album. Because you wanted to be good enough before you released it. Er, does that mean the others weren't good enough?

KC: Of course not! It'd be treacherous of me to even suggest that.

L: So does that mean you're a perfectionist?

KC: Well, no. I was held up at many stages. Initially I was a bit frantic to see the other members releasing their albums one after the other so quickly! On Ken's Time was three years in the making and gave me time to mature as a musician. And it shows. So everything has turned out well. I feel very lucky.

L: Whose album is the best?

KC: I can't compare because all four of us are very different. We have our own styles. I don't especially listen to one album more than another. I support them equally because these are my close friends. It doesn't matter if I like or dislike their music.

L: Do you miss the rest of the F4 lads?

KC: Sometimes I feel a bit lonesome without them. With the others
around, I feel a bit lighter and happier. Say, if you don't know how to respond to a question, the rest are there to help you out.

L: What kind of music gets your mojo going?

KC: The Beatles, especially their later albums like Abbey Road, Let It
Be, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Rubber Soul. I love music that grows on you, simple music that you don't tire of. There are some singers out there who release junk albums just for the sake of entertainment and to appease their eager fans. To me, their music sounds very 'wooden'.

L: You wrote the lyrics for the track 'Black and White', which has a
strong aura of nostalgia about it. How did the idea for the song come about?

KC: The inspiration was Audrey Hepburn. I simply dig old films. There's just something magical about them. One of my favourite films of all time is The Sound Of Music. I was just throwing out ideas for 'Black and White' and next thing I knew, I had the lyrics.

L: Recently, you appeared on a variety show pitting your culinary
skills against a pretty Taiwanese host. And you forgot to add meat to the dish. So are you better at cooking or ogling distractedly at babes?

KC: It's hard to choose between the two. I mean, I can do both at the same time! I love cooking spontaneously with whatever ingredients I have. Then again, I've always loved home-made food. Maybe that's why.

L: How was Valentine's Day this year for you?

KC: I slept the day away. Every year around February I'm always alone with no girlfriend. (Sighs) This year was no exception. I didn't make any special plans to date or go out.

L: Poor thing. Are you very hard to please?

KC: Er, I don't have any special requirements. I don't set standards
for my girlfriends. It all depends on whether there's a certain 'vibe'
between me and her. That's impossible as everyone is different!

L: Which female actress have you worked with and fits the closest bill to your ideal lover?

KC: (Wary) They're all okay. Really.

L: Do you think love is way overrated?

KC: Hmmm, everyone has their own perspective and I can't speak for everyone. For me, love depends on fate. If I'm fated to meet someone special, I'll meet her. If I don't, I don't. I don't think of starting romantic liaisons all the time.

L: What kind of role would you like to set your acting chops to?

KC: Sometimes I get offered a leading role but when I read the script, I'm more drawn towards playing the villain instead. (chuckles) Then I don't get the role. For me, fighting to be the first in everything is pointless. You don't always have to play the lead.

L: You've gone through hard times and taken on odd jobs as a gardener, waiter, and even worked in a pet shop. What life lessons have you learnt?

KC: From young, I didn't have everything. For me, to set your sights
too high is only setting yourself up for disappointment. It's hard to
always remain at the top. I only strive to be happy and contented in hard work. Make an honest living.

L: Sound like you're a very contented guy!

KC: Well, I can't complain... my career has been going pretty well!

L: What touches you most about your work?

KC: People who take me seriously and follow me around everywhere just to show their support. To me, it really means I'm appreciated for my efforts. It makes me contented to think I made a difference in their lives.

L: Vanness once described you as "cool and collected - but a deep
thinker." Did he nail you down to a T?

KC: That's just one side of me. But that's probably how he sees me.

L: So what's in Ken's head most of the time?

KC: Oh, everything. But these days, all I can think about is rest!
(Wistful) I'm not sure when I can take a break. I don't know, I really
don't know... (Grins)

On Ken's Time is in stores.

The money Ken Chu spent on CDs is enough to buy a house
Spends 20 to 30 thousand each month and it has to sound good and look good
Posted: April 1, 2005

Ken Chu has gathered over 3000 CDs. His collection doesn't only have to sound good but also look good. He said, "A good CD is like a piece of art, thought has to be put into it." For the past 6 years he has spend 20 to 30 thousand dollars each month in buying CDs which is enough to buy a house.

When he was in 4th grade his classmates listened to Tommy Page, Bryan Adams while he hugged onto The Beatles. But at that time he didn't have much money to spend on CDs until he got a job.

Bought more than 130,000 at once
Although when he first stepped into the real world his salary wasn't high, he was set to buy 3 CDs each month. When "Meteor Garden" became famous, he spendings on music leaped. Once he bought over HKD$30,000 worth of CDs in HK's HMV Music Store within two hours. Calling him "CD crazy" isn't an exaggeration.

The most precious CD in his collection is a Beatles one, which includes more than 30 songs. Each cover is the Beatles' singles images, making him love them a lot and he bought 2 sets. One set is for listing and one for his collection. In addition, he has the 1950s to 1960s classic Jazz in Paris. When he saw it in HK he immediately bought 2 sets.

Photoalbum in his album
Besides the music being good, the CD's design and packaging is also something he looks at. For example Miles Davis' album has his autograph on it. "John Lennon's has his drawing and works. Ken, in his own album On Ken's Time, included a photoalbum. He hoped to increase the art of the music.

Unseen Jingdi

Date: 27 March 2005
Credits To:KCIFC INDO

Unseen: Good afternoon. Welcome to Unseen Jingdi
Ken: [Thai] Sawasdee Krub [laugh]

Unseen: Do you know "Jingdi" in Thai? Thai language "Jingdi."
Ken: What is that? What does that mean?
Unseen: Really? (the meaning of Jingdi)

Ken: Oh... OK. [laugh]
Unseen: Yeah.. [laugh] You are the one who come to Thailand very
often. How many times?

Ken: Oh! Many, many times already, I guess, right now. Since I was
like, a kid. Yeah. The first time I stepped into this country I was
like 7 (years old) [laugh]. That was the first time, then I was out
to Taiwan, and then umm.. we went to Philippines, then we come to
Bangkok. So, umm, I've actually stayed in Thailand for like a year
when I was about 10 (years old) before I moved to Singapore. And
then, ummm.. after I went back to Taiwan at 17 (years old) umm...
and I've come back to Thailand often to visit my friends and
relatives.. some relatives here.
Unseen: And you just get out of the stage of Pattaya International
Music Festival. How was Thai fans?

Ken: How was Thai fans? They're really.. [laugh] they're really good
actually. Nice... [MC screams.. act as if he is fan of Ken] Yah...
It's actually, y'know, we were doing this rehearsal in the afternoon
and it was really hot, y'know. Everybody was sweating and.. and..
feeling so hot and.. about to faint and everything. But all the fans
were there, y'know? It was a rehearsal. It's not even an official
performance. But they're shouting, yelling. So I was like... I was
about to go there. "So.. do you guys wanna go home first, y'know,
maybe.. enjoy some air-con and come back tonight. I start at eight
(8pm), y'know. [laugh] I think it's very fun, y'know, seeing them
around.

Unseen: We heard that you've spent 3 years for producing this album.
Why did it take you so long? 3 years!
Ken: Well, we actually didn't do it on purpose. All the producers in
this album were actually the important ones in Taiwan and in Asia
music. And ..um... to sing their songs, to have their songs is
not... is actually not very easy. So, the situation was like..um...
we've done one song and then the next song was not yet decided. We
still have to wait for it, maybe a month or two. So, I have to take
another job, maybe go to Thailand for this promotion..
bla..bla..bla.. and then maybe after a month or two, I went back.
There's another song. [laugh] So, I finished that song and then I've
to wait, maybe two more months for another song. So, that's
how...how... that's why I took 3 years to finish it.

Unseen: What is your inspiration for song you wrote?
Ken: Oh! My inspiration for writing, composing actually comes from
my surroundings, my life. Umm.. the songs I wrote.. the lyrics I
wrote.. um.. Black & White is about black & white movie. It's about
my fan..my .f..f.. no, no... my favorite actress.. my.. um... Audrey
Hepburn. And the other one, the one I did the melody is actually
deleloped from the character that I used to act. So, my inspiration
comes from the people that I encountered, y'know. Things that I've
stain, y'know, all the............., all the incidences that
happened, my experiences, my emotions, my feelings.

Unseen: I have some questions from Thai fan club to ask you. Let's
start the first question.

Fan#1: I've already watched your MV. It was very well produced. Nice
scenario. And you look great. I'd like to know if you want to shoot
your MV in Thailand? And which place do you want your MV to be shot?

Ken: If I've a chance I'd like to go to southern part of Thailand to
shoot the music video. I think the things there is the most
beautiful.

Unseen: But we heard that every time you come to Thailand, you will
go to Praprom...

Ken: I don't go there anymore because ..um.. last time I went there,
I was trying to pray and then people were taking a picture, then I
didn't feel comfortable. So, I chose not to go anymore. But I think
if you have a believe, you don't really have to go there.

Unseen: What you wish?
Ken: huh..??

Unseen: What you wish?
Ken: Um.. mostly for health and ..um.. the safe, y'know, because
I've been traveling around a lot. And I just want to be safe.

Unseen: Love? Love too?

Ken: Actually, I don't have a time right now. So, I'd say "hold on."
[laugh]

Unseen: [laugh] OK. OK.
Ken: I have to work first. [laugh]

Fan#2: I'd like to ask if you know that, in 7 days, the world will
be coming to an end, what would you like to do for the rest of your
time? and whom with?

Ken: 7 days? OK. For the first 3 days, I probably eat a lot. Yeah.
For the next 4 days, I'd probably run around naked. Yeah. [laugh]
because there's only chance to get to do, y'know. You don't get (the
chance) to run around naked all the time. So, when you hear the
world is coming to an end, everybody... I don't think anybody will
care of this naked guy on the street actually. [laugh] I'll have
fun.

Fan#3: I noticed that there's a necklace that you always wear it on.
I heard that it's the buddha necklace from Thailand. May I ask who
gave you? Your special person?

Ken: That is from my godfather.

Fan#4: I really like you Xiao Tian. It doesn't matter what people
say about you, we wanna say we always understand you and take care
of you. So, now we would like to know how do you feel about your
Thai fans?

Ken: Umm.. OK, first of all, I don't think you understand me [laugh]
because everyone has a lot of different sights but I still have to
thank them for supporting me throughout all these. And ..um.. how do
I feel about Thai fans. Umm, well, there's only just one little
problem with ..um.. Thai fans ..um.. just ..um.. every time when I'm
in and out of the airport, they.. they just love to touch me. So,
every time when I'm in Thai airport I feel like an animal in a
petting zoo and everybody just pet me. [laugh] So, if this possible
I'd like people to stop [laugh] because that's not the good feeling.
But I still do love to see them when I'm at the airport, y'know. It
feels very warm when people welcome you and just, y'know, trying to
be closed to you and telling you, y'know, they love you and .. yah.

Unseen: Every fan of F4 wants to know F4 has opportunity to join
again?

Ken: Oh, we've never seperated. And, y'know, I've been, I've been
staying (in) this (position), y'know, for, like a, the past 5 years.
We're not a group. [laugh] We're not a band. We're just partners
(that) working together. And.. and.. so, I don't think there's any
shoes on seperating or combining, y'know. We've never seperated.
[laugh]

Unseen: [talk to the audiences in Thai] One thing I know is that Ken
F4 seldom accept gifts from fans. But today, Unseen TV would like to
give something to Ken for charity purpose. We'll ask Ken to sign his
name on the poster, then bring it for auction. All revenue from this
auction will go to children who suffered from Tsunami.

Ken: [sign his name on the poster]
Unseen: So, today fans in Thailand want you to say in Thai to every
people...

Ken: mai-ru.. mai-aou.. (don't know.. don't want..) [big smile]
Unseen: [in Thai] Try to speak in Thai... just a little bit...
Ken: maidai.. maidai... (cannot.. cannot..) [laugh] So, it's very
limited actually. Yeah. So, I just... anything I can say (but) I
don't know.

Unseen: Thank you?? Kob khun??
Ken: Oh! "kob khun" I know, I know. Kob khun (is) thank you. And...
what else.. um.. I know "trong pai" (go straight), "leaw sai" (turn
left), "leaw kwa" (turn right) [laugh]
Unseen: "suay mak" (very beautiful)

Ken: I know "suay" (beautiful)
Unseen: "Lor" (handsome)

Ken: "a-roi" (delicious)
Unseen: "a-roi", "lor"...

Ken: "Lor?"
Unseen: "Lor" [point to his own face] My face... "Lor". Handsome.
Ken: Your face? Oh, "lor" ! [point his finger to MC] "Lor" [laugh]

Unseen: OK! Thank you for your join in "Unseen Jingdi." Can you
speak "Unseen Jingdi?" [repeat again] "Unseen Jingdi."

Ken: "Unseen Jingdi" [laugh]
Unseen: Thank you very much. [Thai] kob khun krub.
Ken: [Thai] kob khun krub. Thank you.

Kaso sad na sad talaga walang munang showbiz career ang oppa nasa military service. Sana si Oppa Wonbin mag ipon ng mga projects para kahit nasa military siya may projects silang pwedeng ilabas. So sad talaga bakit naman ang Korea sabay sabay tinatawag ang mga showbiz oppas. INis tlaga.

F4 regroups to fish up some Japanese yen

F4 is reviving. After these 4 handsome guys gone solo for the past 2 years, they will be regrouping again and "attacking Japan" due to the intense requests by Japanese media and fans. Their manager Zhi Xiang Li verified yesterday, "They specifically wanted all 4 guys. They've recieved tons of commercial and program invitations." According to what's known, the rewards the Japanese are offering for commercials are 30 to 40 million dollars, offering 4 times as much as HK, Taiwan and China.

F4's "Meteor Garden" is popular all over Asia and has finally reached Japan. Their single is also liked by sakuras, becoming the hottest discussed Taiwan drama in the Japanese TV circle. But the 4 guys seemed to have already disbanded with each member going their separate ways. Many Taiwan fans are worried that their fever will die down.

With the pressure from Japan, their management company Fulong coordinated repeatedly and has reduced obstacles to the lowest. Zhi Xiang Li said, "Japanese TV stations have many special proposals, there's also a food commercial, and they want all 4 of them to appear on screen at the same time. Their offers are very considerable. There are currently 3 to 4 commercial invitations." If you calculated one that's 40 million dollar, just commercials can earn them at least 100 million. It looks like F4's time in Japan has only just started.

-----------------

The power of 4
Compiled by THAM AI MEI
Sunday, 3 April 2005

WON’T anyone be glad when their favourite band achieves further fame? Obviously not so with the Taiwanese faithful of F4.

Whether they’re being possessive or what, the awesome foursome’s die-hard followers are said to be questioning the success of F4’s new single, Jue Dui Bu Neng Shi Qu Ni (Definitely Can’t Lose You), in Japan following its debut there at No.6 on a music chart.

A report in Sin Chew Jit Poh said that some Taiwanese fans even went as far as to suggest that the chart results were rigged. They have been airing their grievances on certain websites.

The success of F4 – comprising (from right) Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Ken Chu and Vanness Wu – in Japan is making its Taiwanese fans see red.
Their main grouse: Japanese fans do not appreciate the boys’ music as much as they do.

Regardless of their opinion, the sensational Taiwanese export made up of Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Vanness Wu and Ken Chu must be thrilled with their impressive debut in Japan.

Some of their more optimistic fans, though, are happy to note that the Japanese music listeners are opening up to other Asian artistes.

Hopefully, this remarkable start would lead to more Taiwanese acts making an impact in Japan, where a Korean invasion in entertainment has taken hold.

Admires Jerry, especially likes Zai Zai
Sammi Cheng evaluates the men beside her
Posted: April 4, 2005

Especially likes Vic Chou when she sees him
There were once rumors about Sammi Cheng and Vic Chou having a "sister-brother" relationship. But Sammi doesn't avoid arousing suspicion ans says that when she sees ZZ she especially likes him. "I don't remember the first time I met him, but when they (F4) are together, he doesn't seem to like to talk a lot. Afterwards I found out that it was because of his pronunciation so he doesn't to take the initiative to talk to people he's unfamilar with to avoid being teased. But I think I especially like this boy. However I wondered how an introverted guy can be an artist." As Pepsi's endorsers, Sammi and ZZ had gone to Jordan to film a commercial and rumors of their "sister-brother" relationship spread like wildfire. Regarding this Sammi just shrugged and said that at the time her feelings were living in a vacuum phase, so whatever rumors were spreading didn't seem odd to her. "Furthermore, ZZ is also outstanding."

Admires Jerry Yan
Before working with Jerry in "Magic Kitchen," Sammi said that she was a faithful spectator of "Meteor Garden" and also a fan of Jerry. There was even a time when she would become Dao Ming Si and say, "If apologies were of any use, then what's the police for?" Sammi watched "Meteor Garden" laughing and never thought that she would have the chance to cooperate. "Andy Lau was also in the movie and Jerry. I was really excited for a long time. In the movie Jerry acts as a cheif and he's also my assistant. And he's has a crush on me, haha!" After the movie was completed, a "sister-brother" relationship spread again. Sammi appeared very innocent, "Before he came to HK to film his schedule was already full so we never had dinner together. We only had meetings together and to recite lines. But I do have to thank him for coming to my concert."

Lin Zhi ling Destroys the Bridge After Crossing, "Betrays" Jerry Yan as Gay

Woman uses man to climb up, man used woman to cover up. The rumored couple Jerry Yan and Lin Zhi Ling are really only using each other. Everything followed after the truth on Jerry's homosexuality was revealed. Jerry is covering up his "sex choice" by using Lin Zhi Ling and Lin Zhi Ling is using Jerry for fame, gradually stepping into the entertainment circle's highest peak. Just the other day, Jerry blatantly flirted with a man, and Lin Zhi Ling generously admited that she liked to have heart-to-heart talks with her "gay friend." She also very joyfully expressed that they got along very well.

Affection exposure is mutually "used"!

Lin Zhi Ling and Jerry has fully passed on the scandal for more than 3 years. The two were spotted more than once including the media's picture of them together in 2002 after watching a movie. In 2003, they were also seen together worshipping in the Holy Ghost Palace, entering the building alone for 9 hours, therefore news spread that the two were living together. The two denied this however. At the beginning of 2004, they were seen going to a car dealer looking for a vehicle together. Later that year Jerry released his first album and this time period was the two's highest rumor peak. At that time, Jerry loosely commented on this said that he and Lin Zhi Ling are only "good friends" but infinite possibilities in the future. This has also made the period of their affection a semi-open prologue. But before this, rumors were spreading about Jerry's homosexuality but this gradually
faded in memory as the two's relationship became a hot item. At this time, also in 2004, Lin Zhi Ling's career was rising successfully. Meanwhile, being Jerry's rumored girlfriend also gave advantages to her as many people
came to know her.

The old saying goes again, "innocence"

This March 2, Jerry Yan and Lin Zhi Ling's robe pictures were exposed. The exposure makes their relationship become the hot topic once again for which
the numerous media wants to pursue further. On the second day, internet rumors spread that Jerry is gay written by Jerry's close friend Xu Weilun. Then, Xu Weilun indignantly had said that "Please! I don't even know Jerry, how would I know about his matters? I'm an entertainer; I myself hate rumors, and would not go say other's rumors." In other words, this online Xu Weilun is certainly not the true Xu Weilun. But why did it this so coincidentally come up immediately on the second day after the robe pictures were exposed? Perhaps the answer only the culprits know..

Not willing to dispel rumor provokes a "cold war!"

After the robe pictures and homosexuality issues nearly simultaneously exposed, reporters went straight to her to get facts to see if their relationship is like "sisters". But Lin Zhi Ling's response is also very special, smiled and replied: "Putting it this way is very special and cute, I don't know what to say. Honestly speaking, I'm fine but I feel bad that it indirectly affects my friend, simply is a disaster, I'm really very much sorry to him... ... Really... ... "

But after Jerry heard her reply, he immediately made a phone call to Lin Zhi Ling to ask her why she didn't clarify his "sexuality." But Lin Zhi Ling, who has always had a "silly eldest sister" individuality, didn't see what was wrong with her reply. Thereupon the two had the argument on the telephone. But this reply from Lin Zhi Ling, who usually doesn't let any water leak in her on-the-spot interview answers, is unexpected as you can look at it two ways.

Both are "angry?"

After Jerry and Lin Zhi Ling's cold war, apparently toward his own "homosexual" rumor, he's scrupulous. A while ago, he was in Taiwan with a group of male friends at Karaoke place. He was wearing a hat and he was all smiles the entire way when he and his friends helped a drunken male. This male got into a car with his underwear half hanging out and at the same time used his hands to touch Jerry's face to say goodbye. The two men touched faces in public and not only did Jerry no resist but he had a smile on his face.

Does he think that it's ok because he has his rumor girlfriend to cover up?

But, Jerry has never realized that Lin Zhi Ling already "betrayed" him in Hong kong. Thinking that her title as "Taiwan's first Model" was already safe, she did not need Jerry to get fame anymore. Thereupon, to prove her "innocence," she did not hesitate "to betray her sister." This time it's not as simple as a mistake in reply but she confesses that she has "gay" friends and she gets along with them really well. They have this kind of intense standards to life. Before Jerry's homosexuality issue subsides, good friend Ling Zhi Ling's suddenly exposed these "inside stories," making one think that she's inferring something.

Explanation to Jerry's FALSE rumor

At first I really do not want to translate the different rumors about Jerry. But after some translated the false one from the Hong Kong Daily about the rumor, I think it is better for people to see the original news that came from Taiwan. Below are my translations from what is posted at hkjerry by vivayou 123. I will just translate the portion that is about the rumor and also vivayou 123–s explanation.

Posted by vivayou123, translated by lavander_ice aka lavander:

Actually the article Jerry and his friends went Karaoke were in two newspapers, Taiwan Daily and Hongkong Daily.

Below are the news portion of Jerry from the TAIWAN DAILY :

¦Before our newspaper released the interview of xxx, Jerry is still in quite a nice mood. March 18, 2005 at the wee hour of the morning, we spotted Jerry (in a bonnet), with a long haired drunk guy that stepped out of the ktv. The side view of the guy looks like Takeshi Kaneshiro. After that, THE LONG HAIRED GUY TOGETHER WITH A LADY COMPANION BOARDED THE TAXI. JERRY ON THE OTHER HAND, REVEALED A MISCHIEVOUS SMILE, AND AFTER BIDDING GOODBYE TO HIS LONG HAIRED FRIEND, JERRY TOGETHER WITH OTHER FRIENDS, BOARDED A FRIEND–S CAR AND WENT AWAY.

Jerry is also nominated for the ¦Pepsi Award for the Best Newcomer˜, but he did not attend the awarding ceremony. From what we know, Jerry did not attend the awarding ceremony is completely not related to Lin Zi Ling, because as early as a month ago, Jerry already said he can–t go.

The rest of the news is about the Pepsi Award already”””will not translate it anymore

Some explanation by Vivayou123 translated by Lavander_ice aka Lavander

The truth is, what was written in the Taiwan Daily and the contents written at the side of the pictures were really different from what were written at the Hong Kong Daily. These are the messages written at the side of the pictures from the Taiwan Daily :

¦March 18, 2005, before Jerry and Lin Zi Ling quarreled, his mood is quite good, and even helped his drunken friend stepped out of the ktv.˜

¦Jerry helped his friend to the taxi, he is full of smile, very high.˜

Other than that, Hong Kong Daily even missed out some information when they transferred the news :

First, the date is wrong. The date of the picture taken should be March 18 and not March 20.

Second, Taiwan Daily had mentioned in their article that his drunken friend is ¦WITH A LADY COMPANION AND BOARDED THE TAXI. JERRY ON THE OTHER HAND, REVEALED A MISCHIEVOUS SMILE, AND AFTER BIDDING GOODBYE TO HIS LONG HAIRED FRIEND, JERRY TOGETHER WITH OTHER FRIENDS, BOARDED A FRIEND–S CAR AND WENT AWAY.˜

But HongKong Daily intentionally used the word ¦before he left, he touched the face of Jerry to say goodbye˜ to create some false association of ideas. And they did not even mention the girl GUO ZONG was with.

-------------
Note : please feel free to transfer the WHOLE POST at all the different sites and clear Jerry–s name. Just give due credit. HOngkong Daily gathers news from Taiwan Daily for the news from Taiwan, yet they intentionally edited the article.......From the start, with all the rumors that sprouted, I never doubted Jerry, I always trust Jerry. I only translated this to let the people know the original context of the first article that came out and to let the people who wants to know the truth see the truth. Hope this will give a clearer view......-----Lavander_ice aka Lavander

Jerry Yan shows rabbit teeth and recieves NT$12,000,000
Posted: April 5, 2005

Because Jerry Yan, who is nicknamed "xiao bai tu" (little white rabbit), possesses straight white teeth, he recently accepted a dental product commercial for NT$12 million. His "rabbit teeth" is shown in detail.

Jerry electrifies thousands of females. Besides having electrifying eyes, his straight white teeth are also one of his trademarks. He reveals his cute "rabbit teeth" when he smiles. No wonder people call him "xiao bai tu." Recently he became the endorser for a dental product, where he shows his killer white rabbit teeth. To coordinate with the "pure white" theme, in the commercial Jerry wears all white to have a prince charming look, giving people a refreshing feeling.

Within F4 Jerry's commercial earnings are highest. Each commercial is millions of dollars. Although the price is classified as "sky-high," but as always Jerry is warmly welcomed by advertising companies, with many inviting him to be their spokesperson. However, Jerry, who has always been serious, chooses commercials carefully like he does with his movies. He never accepts a project because of the pay. According to what's known Jerry chose to be the endorser for this dental product out of many other offers because he thought that he would fit the commercial's theme. In addition, he'll be earning NT$12 million (about HKD$3,000,000)

Jerry has filmed commercials for drinks, clothes, shoes and others. This time it's a dental product. The feeling is very special. Although weather conditions, fighting, etc. are not involved, but there are also difficulties. In the commercial Jerry has to smile endlessly and show his cute rabbit teeth. Jerry, who usually only shows his teeth when he's happy, wasn't too use to it at first. But after many hours of shooting, Jerry's face was already beginning to have a numb feeling.

The commercial's theme is: the secret to a healthy smile. And Jerry's method to protecting your teeh is really simple. Since young he had the habit of brusing his teeth in the morning and at night and also going to the dentist regularly. Jerry is very happy to be able to be the endorser of a dental product. Besides a healthy image, he can also promote dental importance, it is very meaningful.

Didn't help in clarifying sexuality, Yan Cheng Xu scolds Lin Zhi Ling
Article was dated March 24,2005

ORIGINAL SOURCE:
http://www.ha.xinhuanet.com/fuwu/yule/2005...ent_3931964.htm

Lin Zhi Ling and Yan Cheng Xu quarreled? Lin Zhi Ling arrived in Beijing to participate in the fifth Pepsi Music Charts Awards on the other day, but encountered criticisms from local females that she is has no sense of shame and should wear more clothes. On the same day her rumored boyfriend Yan Cheng Xu also to made a phone call to quarrel with her. But Lin Zhi Ling, who's heart was colder than the weather, still showed her usual sweet smile, afraid that people can see that she has problems. Yan Cheng Xu is unhappy because Lin Zhi Ling didn't defend his sexuality.

After Yan Cheng Xu and Lin Zhi Ling's intimate robe pictures were published by the media, Lin Zhi Ling felt very much sorry to Yan Cheng Xu. At last week's Pepsi Music Charts Awards, which was held in Beijing, Yan Cheng Xu didn't only just not attend, but also made a phone call to scold Lin Zhi Ling, leaving her to endure the local criticisms alone.

When she accepted the union newspaper interview, Lin Zhi Ling was asked
whether or not her relationship with Yan Cheng Xu was like that of "sister," Lin Zhi Ling only smiled and replied, "That's a very special way of saying it and it's cute. I don't know what to say." Lin Zhi Ling's reply reached Yan Cheng Xu ears and was in a very bad mood.

According to their common good friends who disclosed that after Yan Cheng Xu seen the paper report, he immediately made a phone call to interrogate
Lin Zhi Ling because she didn't clarify his sexuality. But Lin Zhi Ling, who has always had a silly big elder sister's individuality, didn't see what was wrong with her reply, causing Yan Cheng Xu's stomach to be full fire. They both had an argument through the telephone. It is said that Yan Cheng Xu is still very angry up to now.

The day Yan Cheng Xu saw the report was the same day Lin Zhi Ling joined the Beijing Pepsi Music Charts Awards Ceremony. After the two of them had
the argument that day, in backstage, Lin Zhi Ling's smiles was very reluctant and she appeared depressed. However, Lin Zhi Ling's manager indicated that he isn't clear on what quarrel the reporters were talking about so he can't comment on it.

Entertainment host remarked on Lin Zhi Ling and Yan Cheng Xu exploited each other for their own advantage

Host Yan Yia commented :

Ever since the romantic picture of Lin Zhi Ling and Yan Cheng Xu were exposed, Lin Zhi Ling implied that she and Yan Cheng Xu (are good sisters), caused people to bring his sexuality as a topic of discussion. Currently, another hot topic that Lin Zhi Ling and Yan Cheng Xu take advantage of each other was raised up. It is said that Lin Zhi Ling exploited Yan Cheng Xu’s popularity for her own advantage to gain more popularity for herself, and Yan Cheng Xu used her to cover up his unclear sexuality.

Host Hai Yian commented in the show :

There is a possibility that Lin Zhi Ling takes advantage of Jerry, but, if Yan Cheng Xu wants to cover up his sexuality, why he doesn’t pick another? Is it a must to single out Lin Zhi Ling? Dozen of stars are much prettier than her.

Taiwanese supermodel reconsidering lawsuit over her stolen private photos

Taiwanese supermodel Lin Chi-ling has indicated she might not seek legal action against a university student who allegedly leaked her private photos to the media, a newspaper reported Monday.

The pictures of Lin and Jerry Yan -a member of the Taiwanese boy band F4- in their bathrobes were allegedly stolen from Lin's mobile phone while she was having it repaired. The images caused an uproar when they were sold to Taiwanese media and published last month.

The South China Morning Post reported that Lin appeared to be backing off earlier threats to file a lawsuit.

"The photos were released by a university student," the paper quoted her as saying. "I'm willing to take a softer stance toward the issue and really think about what to do next."

She added, "I don't know if Jerry will pursue the matter further, but I'll just treat it as something that's already in the past," the paper reported.

Lin also said that she's thinking about breaking into the movie business. "I'm looking at a few scripts at the moment," she was quoted as saying.

Ker Ei Chin's perspective toward Jerry

posted April 6, 2005

People like to compare Yan Cheng Xu with Guo Pin Chao as they are in the same age, and possess similar personality. Coincidently, the two dishy hunks were formed from my hand. Prior to MG, Yan Cheng Xu acted in my GTO, and that was his first series. Yan Cheng Xu and Guo Pin Chao were given the title by reporters for being cool gorgeous guys. But the cool Guo Pin Choa is only his character in the series. Yan Cheng Xu's cool personality is shone from the inner bone. His character requires the perfection. He takes a step by step with determination. Sometimes he is persistent to only his idea, neglects the rules or limitations. He has the tendency to get hot-tempered, possess his ardent concrete idea. Never hides what he dislikes. Many times he makes no bone about expressing what exactly he thinks. I can say that he is extremely unique, and that would hinder his progress in the showbiz. Rules and trick to play games in the entertainment circle, you have to smoothen all angles of the player to make it slippery, that is the common practice for oneself to treat the society. The high independence of Yan Cheng Xu would put him in a dead end regardless what he does. After climbing to stardom, rumors of being snobbish and his prima-donna behavior followed one another. This is the result of not bending down his head to anyone. Presently, Yan Cheng Xu got everything; fame, status, or popularity, but he is not happy with all these things.

Game in the entertainment circle forced him to take a step with caution and difficulties. I have a feeling that had he earn enough money for his living, he would have completely disappear from this entertainment circle. Yan Cheng Xu is a rare resource in this circle. His beauty, his mystery is the charm and also the fatal attraction . I wish him to keep on paving the way. His future would be as an extremely bright star. With his personality that cannot adjust to the rules and games existing in this circle, he needs the best capable manager to help conciliate things, throw away the complexity in his mind, and to help him concentrate on his acting. Poor him, so far he is unable to find the manager who he is able to count on and trust.

Yes, Ken do

The Ringo Starr of F4 has joked about being a ‘B-list’ act, but Ken Chu may be the group’s most accomplished member, writes FOONG WOEI WAN.

YOU could call Ken Chu the Ringo Starr of F4. Like the former Beatle, he is arguably the least popular member of the Taiwanese mega group.

Sure, he sends women into a swoon, but not to the same degree as the other three members – Jerry Yen, Vic Chou and Vanness Wu.

And he knows it. When he went on the Taiwanese talk show Mr Con & Ms Csi recently, he joked about being a “B-list” artiste.

But for all his humility, Chu, 26, may just be the group’s most musically accomplished member, though he is the last of the four to have a solo album out.

His 11-track rock-lite album, On Ken’s Time, is worth the wait. He composed one track called Revival and wrote the words to another one about his idol, Audrey Hepburn, titled Black and White.

A who’s who of Chinese songwriters, from Taiwan’s Wu Bai and Mayday to Singapore’s Paul Lee Wai Shiong, penned or produced other songs on the album.

Taiwanese indie singer-producer Sandee Chen reportedly said she volunteered to work with Chu after she heard him play the guitar at a concert.

The album made its debut at No.2 on the Taiwanese G-Music chart in early January. Record company Sony BMG declined to disclose sales numbers for Taiwan and Singapore.

Chu, who was born in Taiwan but lived in Singapore in his teens with a guardian, was in Singapore recently on a three-day trip to plug his record.

During a phone chat before a press conference at Orchard Hotel, he sounded like his usual unruffled self, even when he revealed that someone had stolen his iPod a few days ago. “People always like to steal artistes’ things,” he said before adding: “It’s okay if you get used to it.”

You could almost hear him shrug mentally, as he shared his thoughts on fame, music and why he has feet of clay.

How did you get this group of A-list songwriters and producers, from Wu Bai to Mayday, to work with you?

It wasn’t me. It was my company. I’ve never asked for too much in these matters. My company wanted me to do something different musically, and got these heavyweight producers.

Who are your influences musically?

I was 11 when I listened to the Beatles. I don’t like modern pop music that much. Everyone has different tastes.

You once talked about the travails of being a pop idol, and yet you would put up with anything for a chance to make music. If you could do it all again, would you still have signed to be part of F4?

If I had known what was going to happen, I probably wouldn’t have. If you know what will happen when you press this red button, will you still press? Of course you won’t. Of course you will say, “Ey, what will happen if I press the blue button?”

In the past two years, F4’s fame has spread to Thailand and Indonesia. Now your management is going to unleash you guys on Japan. What do you make of this?

We’re going to Japan, but whether we’ll be popular there, we don’t know. I’ve never thought too much about this. Whatever the company tells me to do, I’ll do it.

What’s the one thing you always do whenever you come to Singapore?

Sleep. (Chuckles) I sleep quite comfortably in Singapore. Maybe I’m used to it here, so I sleep better.

If I look my friends up, I’ll only add to their troubles. I go on a TV show or whatever, and all the reporters go to trouble my friends and to ring the doorbell of my guardian. I dare not look them up now.

You act, you sing, you cook, you are an avid photographer and you used to work as an assistant on the set of the popular variety programme, Super Sunday. What gives you the greatest satisfaction?

You get different sorts of satisfaction from different sorts of work. When you work in a restaurant, when people think your food is good, you’d feel satisfied. It’s very simple.

You had a reported run-in with your female fans in Singapore two years ago, and another one in Taipei in January.

(Vehemently) That was a totally different thing.

Still, some might say you’re a bad boy.

I’ve never said I’m a good guy. I think my fans know that when I’m off work, I’m off work. I don’t care how other people see me. It’s no use caring. You can’t possibly please everyone.

ah ling: hello! :wavey naka-invi mode ka ah! ;)

Ken In SupSapda Magazine

Ken's life after F4

I feel alone

" I don't think what I'm doing, well.....not 'I' ,but 'we'.....I don't think what we're doing is called 'the band'. But we call it 'project'. And we have never called ourself as 'the member', but co-worker. So I don't think that ' being solo artist' would be difficulty. Of course, I feel alone. I feel lonely when I don't have friend, F4, with me. I have to do everything alone by myself, since going to aircraft, even meeting the press or showing the live performance. It is dared to fight to do everything by myself. When I was interviewed , I'll felt alone. Because during all of the past 6 years, when we were interviewed. While the one of us was saying, the rest (F3) would have had the time for thinking. But at this present, I do everything at the same time." ( he was amused)

Down to the earth

"This album was started with being set by the concept. It's what we want to present to our fans. Which group of fans that we want to influenced with. When we were in the meeting, I told my experience of my first time of watching the concert. I've watched the 'America' band playing the performance in Singapore. Nowadays, no one knows them. The members of 'America' were all old. (Sudsubda-but I know this band.) Oh! U know them. That's good. I wasn't sure that I was 14 or 16 at that time. It was the mini-concert. The artists were in the common shirts, jeans and sport shoes. But at that moment, I was touched so much. I had ever listened to thier tape. At that time,there're only tapes, no CDs. I was touched earlier. So when I had watched thier live performance. I felt 'double' touched. I told in the meeting to my company that I would like to go back to be the common thing like that. The only thing that really touches me is pure 'music'. Nowadays, the people is trapped in the image, the luxury or handsome-beauty. Try to think please!! What do U really need to listen anyone's song? Is it performance or dancer. No! It is the song, itself. So we concluded if I would like to down to earth, I must have my own band. The common of music performance is having the band and the singer. Earlier, the Free Bird and I have never known for each others. We just knew after the plan of albun was finished. Then we joined to played and practiced together for 2-3 months. And then, it came out as this album. Taking time to knowing for each other only few months is not too short. Especially when we say with the same language, music language. This is so easy."

The 'Pop' Music is not classic

"The difference of song which I composed when I was 17 and today is very much. At that time, I composed the song concerned about the girl who like me. It's non-sense song. But todays, I composed the song from my experience. I have been meeting many people and seeing the change of many things. I grew up, so my song grew up too. The songs which I composed was not really good. But it did grow up. How much did it grow up? From 17 to 26,it grew up for 9 years. (hahaha)What I would like to tell the audience by this album, is giving the real/true thing. I began to listen to the songs since I was 5-6. At that time,the famous artists were NKOTB(New Kids on The Block), Tommy Page, MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice. But I chose to listen to 'The Beatles'. I think The Beatles' songs were more than the Pop music. They were classic.The Pop music is not classic. It is too readymade/ processed. It come out for a while,and suddenly doesn't match with anything. Finally it has to disappear. I am the one who lie everthing which was made from wood. It is so strong and bland. And It is able to be last for hundreds of years. I hope that everything would go on like being woods. It's real by nature."

I wouldn't like to being like that

"All of my passing years, it was in a turmoid. It was so complicated. I had to move many times since I was young. I had to transfer from many schools and residences(houses). When I went to TW, I think...Oh I have my place already. But when I came into this circle. Well, it's happened again. Do U know? Nowadays, my home in TW is not different from the hotel. I could stay in it for 2 weeks and then go abroad. I actually want to go back to the normal/ common life. I work according to my duty. But it is not all of my working life. I love this job....love it so much. But I never think that anyone can forver be last in ' the NO.1'. I could see the sample from mamy famous artists. When their time is over. They couldn't do anything. The rest of life wouldn't have any meaning to be anymore. I wouldn't like to be like them. The entertainment business is very big circle. There're the 'front' and 'behind' . There're the producer etc. If my time was over, I will not separate from this business. I will be in this business, but I will not be ' the front' anymore."

Underestimate

"If anyone said that 'On Ken's Time' is only the one composition of F4's song, I would told him as same as what John Lennon sang 'Whatever gets you through the night..' Because being artist is not just what you want to be or what yo would like to perform. It's like the mirror in 'Harry Potter'. When we see into the mirror, we put ourselves and our dreams into what we see. I never hope that anyone would know which kind of person really I am or think that 'Ken' is really more than ' F4'. Nope! It's nothing to me. If people was still happy, I would! feel good too. There's someone asked me that ' What's the meaning of F4?' I said ' whatever that you would like them to be, Fart4, Fabulous4 or Flower4. It's nothing to me. Because I am the one who give U entertainment. This is my destination/goal-give entertainment to U."

I'm a normal/common guy

"Everyone see me as I am the gentle and sweet guy. But I'm not. I'm normal/ common guy. I'm not different from the other 26 year-old guys. I got this brand from the cast that I had played as. The role which was set, is always to help the women. I think that man is distinguished from the woman apparently. Man is stronger in physique,not in mind. So it is right that man should always take care women."

The Ordinary Day of Normal/Common Guy like me....I was so tired.

"The ordinary day of common guy like me? waking up and then washing teeth, going out to buy meals, cleaning house, watching TV. On the work day, I work all of the day, have to be make up all of the day. If I had a chance, I would go out. If I didn't, I would watch TV. If I had time for 5-7 days, I would go for diving. Am I bored when being make up. Yeah, I'm very bored. I was wearing the mask. I was very tired to wear the mask all of the day. I had to hide my feeling. I was very tired."

Sincere Vol. 18., April edition
Ken F4: I see you when I'm sleeping. I miss you when I'm awake.

Finally it's time for Ken to have his solo album. He is the only F4 member whom I haven't had his CD in my F4 collection. Until the day that On Ken's Time launched, I realized why Ken let us wait for such a long time.

"Quality" is the word. Ken wants to show us his effort in his work. He even denied some commercials and series just to spend more time on his album.

On Ken's Time was out on 7th January in Taiwan. For Thai fans, we had to wait a little longer…..it was in the end of January when we could buy his CD. I believed the CD not only eased the fans from missing him, it also let them hope of having his promotion function in their own countries. I didn't know how the fans in other countries were. But in Thailand, it was like they were winning the biggest prize as Ken came to Thailand in the mid of March to promote his album and to join Pattaya Int. Music Festival. Girls at Pattaya could scream to death as he appeared on the stage while girls in BKK enjoyed his press conference and autograph signing. Thousands of fans were able to get close to him at Center Point, Siam Square.

I could join all his activities and took some pictures and memories to share them with you here. Let's start right from Pattaya.

Before I start, let's make clear that Ken's staffs were quite strict. In some activities we were not allowed to take any picture at all. So while you are reading my story, please fancy yourself how it's gonna be. Some stories were really secret. Even crews may do not know it happened. But I had a spy who always reported me Ken's activities. So close your eyes if you want to fancy what Ken was doing and how he looked like.

Ken arrived at BKK Int. Airport by TG635 on March 17 around 11.20p.m. He directly went to Pattaya and arrived there at 2a.m. He checked-in at Hard Rock Hotel and unpacked his belongings and then rested in his room. His schedule was really tight the next day.

18 March 2005 Pattaya

9 a.m. Ken woke up and prepared for sound checking in the afternoon. Please fancy a sunlight in the morning reflecting on his cheeks! I heard that Ken liked his room a lot. He even said that this was the biggest and the most beautiful hotel room he ever got. Ken also did like local people. He ate and lived very simple. Whenever he comes to Thailand, he always avoids meals cooked in his hotel. He will ask his crew to find him some local food selling on the street. He even orders himself what he wants to have. In other word, Ken does have at least a little Thai blood! He visits Thailand so often that he knows so many things about our country. This time Ken was not alone. He
brought with him his own band "Free Bird". He played a good role as a host introducing Free Bird traditional Thai dishes before they started to work. This included noodle soup in Thai style, Thai sausages, Somtam, fried pork, grilled chicken, Thai meat salad. Wow! he'd better move to Thailand.

12.30 p.m. Ken and his band went to World Box stage at Balihai cape for sound checking. I was shocked when Ken stepped on the stage. Not that I could not recognize him but telling you a truth, his costume really made me gone crazy. Quite a shame that I could not take his picture to show you here.
He looked so……….local! He came with a pair of black pant and a dark blue shirt. The shirt was made of cotton in Thai northern style. He also wore slippers. During his rehearsal, he sometimes sat and sometimes stood. Because he was rehearsing during noon so it was very hot. He only had to move a bit and he already sweated like a broken tap. That's why he always had his sunglasses on. I estimated that Ken drank 3-4 bottles of water during the rehearsal. After finishing, he rushed back to the hotel, took a bath and had something to eat. Then he waited to attend a press conference at Hard Rock café around 4.30p.m. Then…..the time we'd waited for so long arrived. MC of the day announced "Please give your hands to welcome one of the most famous celebrities from Taiwan….Ken F4". The last word of the MC just ended then a handsome face belonging to Ken appeared on the stage. He
walked so firmly from stage side. A door he used appeared to be the door connecting to a kitchen! Wait Wait Wait!!! Don't start laughing yet! If he is not one of the greatest celebrities, he will never be able to walk pass the hotel's kitchen. But he is the one so how can he use a walking route where normal people use!!!!! If he doesn't have to walk pass the kitchen, he might have to use personnel lift. This is one of the disadvantages of being a celebrity. You see, I was thinking where Ken should enter the conference room. But when they opened the kitchen door, I was about to laugh to death!. Let's fancy this……Ken opened the door and his background was fully equipped with pan, pot, and plates.!!!

When he was on the stage, it was time for the media to take his pictures. Ken was the only artist who had to stand still at every corner of the stage and postured in front of the camera. Other artist just walked right at the middle of the stage for photo shooting. For Ken, he started to posture with his smile at the left. After a minute he then moved to the center. Later he moved a bit to the right and the ended up at the right corner of the stage. Even he gave us time to take the picture, the time was still to short as there were so many media attending the conference. The MC had to ask Ken to stand behind a couch on the stage so that the media could have one more minute to take his pictures. After photo shooting, it was time for a short interview. A really short one!!

MC: Hi Ken. Sawassdee ka (Thai word for greeting) welcome to Thailand again.

Ken: Sawassdee krab. Visiting Thailand this time is very special for me.

MC: How special? You've got a Thai girlfriend this time?

Ken: (laugh) You know. I am having my solo album. So I am here not with my F4 friends but with my band. "Free Bird" is my backup band. I am really nervous.

MC: Can we believe that? You have so many concerts in different countries. But you are still getting nervous?

Ken: This time is not an usual one. I am here as a single artist. Pattaya Int. Music Festival is the first official promotion in Thailand. And it is really big. For this concert I will be singing 6 songs. Importantly I have one special song preparing for this concert. I'm sure you will have a great time with my music. You will see!

MC: Guess what…. Your fans will surely be screaming and yelling when you appear on the stage this evening. Do you know that they love you so much that they wanna move to your home?

Ken: If my house is big enough, I'll be more than glad having them with me (laugh).

Ending the interview this way, he might now get into trouble if the fans really ask him to keep his promise! Before we get into a fight for who will be moving to his home, I suggest we'd better follow Ken to the concert. Cos after the interview, he rushed back to the stage.

continuation......

A very loud scream was heard again at Balihai Cape. Ken walked to the
middle of the stage and sat on the floor. He was so cool and handsome, worth receiving such a scream from his fans. Then he pushed back his hair before he sang the last sentence of this song. He drank a little of water after the song ended. Then he threw the bottle to the fans. This time he chose to do it a little gentle otherwise one or more of his fans might got a broken forehead as a souvenir.

The fourth song was "Heat of The Night". Ken took his guitar and smoothly played it. His lips sang, his head shook….putting all of his emotion into the song. I now know why Ken keeps his hair so long. Because when he shakes his head and flips his hair, he is so attractive. I confirm that he is really attractive when he was doing this. It made his audience gone crazy. I personally liked this song. Not that the other songs were not good but there was a part of this song he changed the tone so well. He got 100 points out of 10 from me!. At the end of this song I saw he drank water from a green bottle. I guessed it was an energy drink artists always drink to smoothen their throats. (Note: It was a Perrier)

The last 2 songs were "A Good Person" and "Never Stop". He could still perform so well. He really put all his emotion into the songs. He turned left and right and took a towel to dry himself. Then he threw it to the fans. It was a surprising souvenir at the end of his show before he walked toward the back of the stage. But then he turned around and smiled to the fans. ……..Did he know that doing this could kill Thai girls!

Bangkok 20/03/2005

After performing last night, Ken went right back to his hotel. He departed to BKK around 11a.m. of the next day (19/03/2005). He arrived late in the afternoon. Then he had interviews with several media both TV and newspapers. The interviews ended at 6p.m. What a pity he didn't have time to rest. But after the interviews, it was his time to relax and prepare himself for a press conference that will be taken place in the next day (20/03/2005).

His press conference was organized at Sofitel Hotel in the afternoon….around 2p.m. Before it started, the crews had to clear the room and set everything in order. Then it was time for Ken to appear. This time the media got a little more time than they had in Pattaya.

continuation.........

MC: Welcome back to BKK

Ken: Thank you

MC: How was the scenery at Pattaya?

Ken: I slept all the way through. (laugh). No matter where I go. You know it's been impossible for me to walk around. So I chose to stay in the hotel. Luckily I got a hotel with beautiful scenery. Only a deep breath of Thai air already made me happy.

MC: How was the concert in Pattaya?

Ken: It was my first time singing my own songs for Thai fans. I sang 6 songs. Quite happy though. My fans were there when I was rehearsing. I guessed they had to queue until 7p.m. to see me perform. I was about to tell them to go back and enjoy the air-con. (laugh) and be back later. Cos after my rehearsal, it was still a long way before I really preformed.

MC: Though it was really hot but it can't be compare with the love your fans have for you.

Ken: Thank you. Well, it was at noon when I rehearsed. I myself felt very hot.

MC: Let's talk about your work. Why you kept us waiting for 3 years.

Ken: The truth is, I did not do it on purpose to keep you waiting for such a long time. But because I wanted to make this album the best out of it. After one song was written, I had to wait for 2-3 months for the producers to prove the song. We worked one song at a time. So it took so long before the whole album was completed. In Taiwan my album launched in the beginning of January. All promoting activities were finished. Now I'm promoting in SE Asia.

MC: You wrote songs yourself. How nice. So besides being a singer, you are also a song writer, right?

Ken: Well a song writer…actually I'm quite embarrassed (laugh) but I like both writing and singing songs.

MC: Do you still recall F4 concert in October last year in Thailand? (black tulip: actually the MC mistakenly recalled the date of this concert. The concert was in the end of August….!)

Ken: Last October............I can't really recall that. I have to travel quite a lot. I get to meet and see many new opportunities coming into my life. Whatever it is I will do my best to complete it.

MC: So we'd better buy you some vitamins to nourish your brain . You look so blur!.

Ken: It's not an easy thing. You can try. People like us always face a new wholly thing then you have to recall something in the past… I'm sure you can't recall it easily. I suggest we'd better not stick to the past.

MC: OK then let me ask you about your future. Will you have your own concert in Thailand?

Ken: You should hurriedly go out and buy my album (laugh). Then I will come back to have my concert here. If no one buys my CD then it's impossible for me to have a concert.

MC: I heard you don't like meal in the hotel?

Ken: It's not that I don't like it. But I don't wanna have meal from the hotel. So I ask my crews to find me some traditional Thai food. What I order are Thai sausage, Tom Yam Kung. They should really be a traditional Thai taste. Then I also order noodle soup. I love eating meat balls and sipping hot soup.

MC: Somtam seems to be your favorite dish too?

Ken: Yes yes…I like Somtam a lot. I love it so much that I have it as my breakfast (laugh). If it is Somtam, it doesn't matter what time it is. I think 1/3 of me is Thai already.

After Ken finished his press conference, he had a meet and greet. But we were not allowed to take his picture. We must also rush to Center Point to make a report on his autograph session.

At 4p.m. Ken arrived at Center Point. He changed from a grey shirt into a grey T-shirt. The fans screamed loudly when he stepped on the stage. I guess Pattaya could hear it. Ken was adorable making a sign to keep the voice down. But doing this created even a louder scream! I like Ken when he warmed up a bit before he sat on his chair. It was as if he was an athlete warming up before getting into a competition. It was understandable cos he had to sign 3,500 pieces of CD cover. He even took off his bracelet so that he could comfortably sign the CD covers.

While Ken was signing, his manager kept on setting his hair and drying his neck. Watching the way he signed, I will send Ken to compete for a gold medal if there is an autograph signing competition. He did it in steps. First he took CD cover. Then he signed on the cover. Second step he gave away the cover and lifted his face around 45 degree. He looked into the fan's eyes and smiled. Third step he turned to the left and took the cover from the next fan and repeated the first step again. I confirmed that Ken looked into the eyes and smiled to each fan. Ken also really sat straight. Whatever he did, he always sat straight. He had such a good personality. I noticed that the fans
were all nervous getting his autograph. They were shaking! Some even cried. They screamed after coming down from the stage. Some did more than that. As the fans were so many that they could not see Ken so they climbed to the second floor of buildings at the side of the stage. Ken was still signing together with exercising his neck and wrist to get rid of the pain. Then the crews found him a big electric fan to blow away the heat of that day. After signing 500 pieces, his cheeks started to turn red. He had to drink quite often. His manager opened bottle one after another, made it ready for him to drink. Strange though, he drank a lot of water but did not need a toilet break. I guessed what he drank transformed into the sweat.

Signing for a while he added more steps for the fans. That was nodding while gave the fans his smile. Then he asked for a microphone from the crews. He announced "I am sorry for having just too little time but don't worry. I will try to sign for everyone. I promise I will do it as much as I can. Please be patient". See!!! He gave his fans a break and cheered them up. How lovely he was.

For those who already got his autograph had to get out of the stage as quick as possible. I saw some were still unwilling to take their eyes of him. Some were about to fall out of the stage watching Ken but not the floor. Those who fell from the stairs are laughing now when you are reading this, right? Those who were still queuing relaxed themselves with MV on a big screen. Sometimes they sang along so loud for Ken. Ken himself also sang softly along too. A big while Ken asked for the microphone from the crew again. This time he said "For those who have 2 coupons, I beg you to come up only one time. There are still lots of people who don't get my autograph yet. I really want to sign for everyone". I think there were fans who already got the autograph but still came back for another one. They came back so often that Ken remembered their faces. You see! Ken really looked into the eyes of
everybody.

**Finally the last group of fans reached the stage. This group was really lively. They all wore dark blue t-shirt. Each of them had a blue flag in her hand. They collectively waved the flags. It was really nice and warm to see. While Ken was signing, he often had to stop and watch them. After finishing signing for the last fan, he said "Thank you very much for today. You are really nice. Thank you". The crews had to lead him to his van after he thanked the fans. That was the last movement I saw from Ken. I was pushed and pulled by all the fans. But that was a tradition already. If there is F4, it will always be chaotic.

Before I leave you, I still have one more thing about Ken to tell. Ken left Thailand on April 21 around 3.20p.m. He visited the Temple of the Emerald Buddha before he headed the airport. He requested since he just arrived Thailand that he really wanted to go there. Hmmm if I went there with him, I would make a merit together with him. So if I reborn I will be seeing him again. Just thinking Ken is stepping out of Thailand, I've missed him already. So strange that it is more common when you meet somebody you will not miss him any more. But for Ken, the more you meet him, the more you miss him. I think I'd better go to bed earlier. So I can dream of him tonight. And dare not to wake me up for a work….cos I will be very upset!

Sharing the secret to healthy teeth
Jerry Yan endorses for a famous toothbrush brand

Jerry Yan, a valued endorser in the hearts of numerous famous international brands. When he filmed a commercial in the Philippines, the president welcomed him personally and treated him at the head-of-the-state level. He has fans of all ages. To many female fans, Jerry's shy and sincere smile is a killer. It is not only his electrifying eyes but also his extremely white teeth.

Recently Oral B told everyone the "secret to a healthy smile." He's been a faithful user of Oral B because he really pays close attention to the quality and funtion of his teeth. He once said that brushing your teeth is a very interesting health action. He really likes to brush his teeth, he brushes at least 3 times a day.

In the 2 days he filmed the Oral B commercial in HK, Jerry arrives for work at 8am on time each day to start a job that will last many hours. Shooting smiling features are very dry. He is often requested to give different smiles. But to get the best result he willingly cooperated with the photographer. His professional spirit from the beginning to the end influenced all the crew members. The end result was remarkable, making everyone applaud. In 2005, where many dental protectoin activities will be held, Jerry will be representing Oral B, sharing the secret to dental health with fans.

Oist mga sisters, watch nyo Oppa Ryan ko sa Memories of Bali. SJS I heart you talaga. Silayan ninyo ang magagandang eyes niya. Nakakabighani talaga. Watch nyo ha.

Helsinki

Tanong mo din sa Mandarin teacher mo yong mga Chinese names naming lahat. At sana share mo samin yon mga natutunan mo sa lessons mo. Para pag nakaharap namin ang mga F Xi hindi lang Ni hao ma ang alam namin. Mukhang oks ang lessons mo talaga investing ka para sa conversation ninyo ni Zaizai.

Mrs B.

Hindi ko mapapanood ang concert ni Oppa Bi inis talaga. :mad: Kasi wala ako sa town pag nangyari yon. Pero may plan ako . Hahanapin ko siya sa Ktown at talagang stalk ko kaya siya. Kainis talaga. At saka ang tickets nag fly off the shelf nong nagtanong ako mga latak seats pa naman di bale na lang. Hihintayin ko ang susunod niya concert. Promise sa harap talaga. Soju ba kamo gusto mo, masaya yan. Try mo. Para maiba naman.
Nasilayan mo na ba si Papa LDG watch mo ha. Kaso may bad news e may babae ang Oppa mo. Nagtataksil siya. At saka narinig mo na ba voice quality ni Oppa .SInger pala siya originally. Madami atang cd sa Korea.

Babyzai

Litong lito ka na ba. Basta panoorin mo ang MEmories in Bali. Andun si Oppa SJS. Maganda yon for the sheer presence ng love ko. Okay na okay may Korean festival sa TV ngayon sa dami ng kdramas na lumalabas. Saya nun.
