(Video) Ken Chu Opens Up About F4's Reunion & Why It Almost Didn't Happen
During a livestream broadcast on 16th July 2025 (Wednesday), Ken spoke about the reunion and how it came to be. The singer revealed that Mayday frontman Ashin (阿信) had planned the reunion because he wanted to invite Taiwan's biggest stars as part of a 'throwback' segment for Mayday's concert. To reunite the four members of F4, Mayday's manager contacted each member and invited them to perform.
Ken said the manager had called him several times, but he would always decline the invitation. Despite that, Mayday's manager never gave up and continued persuading him. Ultimately, the singer agreed to the reunion after learning why Mayday's Ashin wanted it to happen. The manager explained, 'Ashin feels that all the beautiful things from when we were young are gradually disappearing, so he wants to bring back these beautiful memories. One of them is F4's reunion.'
The 46-year-old also admitted that it was awkward to reunite with his groupmates as it had been nine years since he last met them. Ken also brought up the show 'Meteor Garden' and how it became the stepping stone for F4. On the topic of the iconic teen drama, he also spoke about the late Barbie Hsu (徐熙媛), who played the female lead Shancai. While talking about the late actress, Ken started tearing up.
He said that Barbie, fondly known as Big S (大S), was an important figure who connected F4, given her role in the hit drama. Ken added, 'I believe that the four of us loved her in different ways when we were young. This is an emotion that goes beyond love.' While wiping his tears, the singer also said he didn't want to bring up Barbie's name into the conversation, but couldn't suppress his feelings.
F4's reunion at Mayday's concert also brought up rumours of a possible reunion tour. While nothing is in place, let's hope the four could consider it to make fans' dreams come true. In the meantime, watch a clip of Ken's livestream and the group's performance of 'Meteor Rain' below:

#SHOWBIZ: Dance takes flight with 'Birdy' at George Town Festival
A film called "Birdy" by Alan Parker ignited a passion in Taiwanese choreographer Lai Hung-Chung during his university days. "The story of two young men returning from the Vietnam War — one of whom retreats into a psychological world where he believes he is a bird — left a lasting impression on me," Lai wrote in an email regarding the George Town Festival show, also titled "Birdy", set to run from Aug 9-10 at Dewan Sri Pulau Pinang. "Its haunting imagery and its profound longing for freedom, escape and transcendence lingered deep in my heart," he added. INNER STRUGGLES Lai explained his enduring fascination: "I've always been fascinated by inner struggles, especially when 'freedom' is no longer about physical limitations but a psychological state. How do human relationships carry the weight of that contradiction, of imagining flight while being pulled down by reality? That tension between the spirit and the body became the seed for 'Birdy'." The 'Taipei Times' has described Lai as one of the finest young choreographers working in Taiwan today. Currently serving as artistic director of Hung Dance, which he founded in 2017, the thirty-something Lai began reimagining these ideas through the lens of his own cultural context. "I found inspiration in the long pheasant feathers used in traditional Taiwanese opera, which originally symbolise status and authority," he said. "In 'Birdy', I transformed them into symbols of the spirit: extensions of the mind, of yearning and liberation. This work became a bridge between a deeply personal artistic memory and the cultural identity I carry as a Taiwanese creator." A HAPPY ACCIDENT Lai initially trained as a performer, recalling his entry into dance as a "happy accident". "I joined my school's dance club thinking it was for street dance, but it turned out to be everything from contemporary to classical. That unexpected detour led me to a teacher who saw potential in me and encouraged me to apply for a professional dance programme." Lai realised early on that his true passion lay in creating, not just performing. "By middle school, I was already choreographing for school events. By high school, I had started teaching, freelancing and choreographing professionally. These experiences shaped how I understand movement — not only through technique but through ideas, stories, and relationships. "What excites me most is that moment in the theatre when everything comes together: a magical moment that quickens your heartbeat. Those moments often become the source of my creative drive." AN EVOLVING PROCESS "Birdy" has garnered significant praise since its debut in 2022, having been performed at festivals worldwide. The show seamlessly incorporates elements of tai-chi into contemporary dance forms. Lai said "Birdy" will not only be performed in George Town but also in Spain and North America over the next two months. He noted that the show has evolved: "While the core of the work remains the same, audiences can expect an even sharper, more refined performance. The dancers have grown tremendously, and we've made subtle structural adjustments to enhance the flow and clarity of the piece. We're excited to share this evolved version with Malaysian audiences." Lai believes "Birdy" speaks to a profound human desire — "the longing to be seen and the urge to escape definitions". ROOM FOR INTERPRETATION He describes the physicality as "powerful yet poetic", with a soundscape that blends traditional Taiwanese opera instruments with contemporary electronic textures, offering a layered emotional experience. "Audiences across cultures have told us they felt moved, even without understanding the language or cultural references. I think that's the magic of dance. It invites empathy without explanation. 'Birdy' doesn't give answers; it creates space for each person to dream their own version of flight." "Birdy" is part of the GTF 2025 line-up under Isle to Isle 2025, an exchange platform connecting Penang and Taiwan. Isle to Isle also features the "Three Generations, One Jazzy Heartbeat" concert and a forum titled "And All That Jazz — Stories of Malaysia and Taiwan". Other notable GTF events include "Between Light and Grey: A Double Bill of Puppetry", a poetic exploration of memory, identity, and human connection (Aug 9-10), and "A Travelling Artist's Diary", an exhibition showcasing never-before-seen works by Rebecca Duckett-Wilkinson.

Cafe's sea view turns out to be just printed mural
Compiled by CHARLES RAMENDRAN, TAN SIN CHOW and R. ARAVINTHAN A CAFE in China has stirred online controversy after its much-hyped 'lemon tree-themed sea view' turned out to be just a printed mural on an interior wall, China Press reported. Feeling deceived, a netizen shared her frustration on Xiaohongshu, a Chinese lifestyle platform, after travelling a long way to the cafe in Qingdao, Shandong province. The woman, who enjoys exploring different cafes and shops, said there was no real sea at the backdrop or lemon tree in sight unlike what was featured online. Her post went viral and drew a wave of sarcastic comments. A social media user said: 'Good thing you posted this – I might have gone myself.' Another likened the marketing as 'worse than scams in KK Garden in Myanmar', referring to a cybercrime and online fraud hub. > The residence of the late Cantopop diva Anita Mui has been described as 'maze-like', with some suggesting it should be converted into a museum, Sin Chew Daily reported. Many social media users commented that her home at Henredon Court, Shouson Hill Road in Hong Kong is spacious, with others even analysing its feng shui. This came after Michael Lui, a real estate agent, showcased a rare look inside the house on his YouTube channel.
