TAIPEI — Fans of early 2000s Asian pop culture were left speechless and in tears of joy as legendary Taiwanese boy group F4 shocked the crowd by reuniting onstage after a 12-year hiatus during the 25th anniversary concert of iconic rock band Mayday at the Taipei Dome on Saturday, July 12.

The unexpected moment sent waves of nostalgia across the audience as Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu, Ken Chu, and Vic Chou walked on stage—dressed head-to-toe in sleek black suits—and performed their unforgettable hit “Meteor Rain.” The arena erupted in cheers and disbelief as the former heartthrobs came together once again, reviving memories of their time as the fictional group from the beloved drama Meteor Garden.

Ken Chu later posted a photo of the foursome to Instagram, captioning it simply “25/07/12”—a cryptic nod to the performance date that left fans speculating wildly about what could be next.

This marks F4’s first public performance together since 2013, when they last appeared at China’s Spring Festival Gala. Though the group officially disbanded in 2009 after nearly a decade of success, their legacy has lived on through their music and the massive cultural impact of Meteor Garden, where they starred alongside the late Barbie Hsu as Shancai.

Formed in 2001, F4 (later rebranded as JVKV due to copyright issues) captivated fans throughout Asia and beyond with their albums Meteor Rain, Fantasy 4ever, and Waiting For You.

But that’s not all — rumors are flying about a potential solo concert in 2026, reportedly in celebration of their 25th anniversary, under the music label B’in Music. According to Taiwan’s Mirror Media, the label may be preparing something massive — but no confirmation has been made by the band or the agency as of press time.
