Like a sudden meteor shower: F4 makes surprise reunion at Mayday concert, delighting fans (VIDEO)
ET Today reported that last night was Mayday's Taipei Arena stop and it also became the first time F4 had reunited in 12 years.
More than 40,000 fans were treated to this unexpected show.
The last time the F4 members had appeared together was China's 2013 Spring Festival Gala.
Mayday had apparently attempted to invite the group as guests two years ago, but busy schedules prevented it from happening.
Besides Meteor Shower, F4 and Mayday also performed the latter's The Song of Laughter and Forgetting.

Will there be a possible group concert happening sometime? After the overwhelming social media response from delighted fans, perhaps the F4 members will be motivated to make it happen.
F4's Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu, Ken Chu and Vic Chou were a boyband consisting of the lead actors from the popular Taiwanese TV drama series Meteor Garden that also helped launch the career of the late Barbie Hsu.
The show was a hit across Asia and heralded the beginning of idol drama shows.

Most Popular Gundam Design Gets The Metal Robot Damashii Toy Treatment
The fan favorite RX-93 Nu Gundam from the movie Char's Counterattack will be getting a Metal Robot Damashii toy early next year. If you know anything about the Metal Robot Damashii toyline, it's a spin-off from the mainline Robot Damashii branding, and you guessed it, features toys with lots of diecast in their construction. Moreover, this spin-off line tends to do lesser-known designs or non-animated variants, such as the Re-GZ Custom or the Gundam Hazel, with both of those toys being also entirely excellent. This is because the sculpt and detailing on these toys is surprisingly high-end despite being quite compact. Personally, I love Metal Robot Damashii toys over their bigger and more expensive brethren, and have quite a few of them already. The smaller size also means you can collect more of them and still have an impressive amount of articulation for all the cool poses you want them to do. In this instance, what makes the choice of the Nu Gundam notable is that this is a mainline Gundam design penned by the very talented Yutaka Izubuchi and one that was voted the most popular amongst Japanese fans in a 2018 poll hosted by NHK. The toy itself also looks superb (shown above), and the diecast elements are almost all internal, increasing the overall joint strength compared to a regular Robot Damashii release. For the Nu Gundam, this is important, as the fin funnel configuration is equipped on the left side of the mobile suit. Often resulting in model kits and toys of this design getting a bit lopsided due to the weight distribution. Available in January of next year, this will also be a general release and therefore more readily available to import from places like HobbyLink Japan. The price point is also not too bad, coming in at 22,000 yen (or around $148 at the current exchange rate). In any case, this is a classic and much-loved Gundam design, and this toy looks to do a genuine tribute to that. Follow me on X, Facebook and YouTube. I also manage Mecha Damashii and am currently featured in the Giant Robots exhibition currently touring Japan.

Esther Yu's camp asks fans to calm down over rude behaviour
31 Jul - Esther Yu's management recently found themselves having to release a statement reminding her fans to remain rational, following several instances of their unruly behaviour online. The whole issue sparked after Esther's fans lashed out at her studio, accusing it of being "negligent" in managing her career, and focused their rage especially on her manager Li Jing. They claimed that her studio has failed to secure top-tier opportunities like global endorsement deals. In one instance, her fans even went to the social media account of Esther's sponsored watch brand to call her the "first Chinese spokesperson" of the brand, only to be corrected by others who pointed out that the late actress Barbie Hsu was actually the first. Angered by the fact-check, some of these fans left rude comments like, "Why mention her when she is already dead?", sparking anger among many. As the situation escalated, Esther's studio released a statement on Weibo, stating that they have read all the concerns, and that they have the same goal as the fans. "We will strive to secure the resources that she deserves and increase the number of liaisons as soon as possible to expedite the process," her management said. At the same time, they remind fans to remain rational, stating that fans' extreme behaviour online may violate the law. (Photo Source: Esther IG, Meteor Garden Fanpage IG)

Michael Jackson's dirty sock sells at auction
A single glittery sock worn by Michael Jackson at a concert in France in 1997 has sold for more than £6,600. The crystal-encrusted sock was found by a technician after the self-styled King of Pop performed in the southern city of Nimes. It was carefully preserved for 28 years in a frame and went up for sale on Wednesday in the same city, Aurore Illy, the auctioneer, said. 'A cult object for fans' Jackson wore white athletic socks during his 1997 HIStory World Tour, and can be seen wearing them in clips of him performing his hit 'Billie Jean'. Decades later, the sock is no longer white, and the rhinestones adorning it have yellowed with age. 'It really is an exceptional object – even a cult one for Michael Jackson fans,' Ms Illy said. The sock, expected to fetch €3,000-4,000 (£2,500-£3,500), sold for €7,688 (£6,640) at the Nimes auction house. Jackson's clothing, particularly items worn during iconic performances and in music videos, has sold for vast sums following the singer's death in 2009. The star, who during his lifetime faced allegations of child molestation – died of an overdose aged 50 as he prepared for a series of comeback concerts in London. A Chinese gaming resort paid £260,000 in 2009 for a glittery glove he wore when he performed his first 'moonwalk' dance in 1983. A hat he wore just before that performance sold for more than £60,000 in Paris in 2023. The same year, a black and white leather jacket he wore in a 1980s Pepsi advert sold for £250,000. In 2011, the contents of the house he lived in with his three children before his death sold for around £750,000 at auction. The sale included items such as the rug beneath his death bed, which sold for more than $15,000. Jackson still maintains a huge fan base, despite a 2019 documentary exposing further child sexual abuse allegations that sparked a new debate over the legacy of one of the world's most celebrated musicians.
