Taiwan's popular boy band F4 will become history as the lead
singer Jerry Yan will leave the current company soon, the
Fujian-based Southeast Express reports on Friday.
The pop singer and actor's contract with Wu Fu Long Production
Company will come to an end in October, and it has been confirmed
that he will not renew the contract. Jerry Yan launched his own
studio "Star Jerry" back in 2005.
In order to develop his market in Japan, he signed in secret
with Japanese Top boy group SMAP's agent Johnny and Associates to
act as his new manager in June, thus becoming Kimura Takuya's
junior colleague.
The other members of the group, including Ken Chu and Vanness
Wu, will also face decisions regarding their contracts soon.
Vanness Wu has already decided that he will not renew his contract
at the end of this year, while Ken Chu also admitted that he was
considering leaving.
Only Vic Chou will continue to work with the current agency,
says the report.
The boy group swept Southeast Asia with their popular youth idol
TV drama "Meteor Garden", and since 2000 the members have pursued
their own career paths.
