Fahrenheit

(Chinese: 飛輪海; pinyin: Fēilúnhǎi) is a Taiwanese boy band that has recently achieved success in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore, as well as the rest of Southeast Asia. This group consists of four members: Arron Yan, Wu Zun, Calvin Chen, and Jiro Wang. They are signed under the record label, HIM. Fahrenheit is frequently referred to as the male version of their seniors, S.H.E, and the second version of F4.

They released their self-titled debut album, Fahrenheit, on September 15, 2006.

Background

Derived from the definition of fahrenheit, each of the four members represents a season or temperature that corresponds with their different personalities. Arron Yan represents Winter, cold; Wu Zun represents Autumn, cool; Calvin Chen represents Spring, warm; and lastly Jiro Wang represents Summer, hot. Each of the four members also has his respective temperature represented on the Fahrenheit scale: Arron Yan is at 41 degrees, Wu Zun is at 59 degrees, Calvin Chen is at 77 degrees, and Jiro Wang is at 95 degrees.

All four members are from completely different backgrounds. Wu Zun was born and raised in Brunei for most of his life, later graduating with distinction at RMIT, in Melbourne, Australia. He was introduced to the entertainment industry during a trip to Taiwan. A television producer discovered him during this trip, and recommended him to play the lead male role of Tokyo Juliet, which Wu Zun accepted.

Aaron Yan moved to New York, USA at a young age but later returned to Taiwanhigh school and college (still in progress). Around early 2005, HIM record producers had been searching for elite bloggers around the web. They discovered Arron, who, at that time, was really popular online, and thus recommended him to go casting for a role in a drama. Arron thought it was a fraud at first, but after several tests, he realized that it was true. for

After Calvin Chen graduated high school in Taiwan, he further pursued his college education in Canada, where he completed his masters degree. He then further continued his life in Canada by joining a pageant-like competition (Sunshine Boy'z) in Vancouver, where he won first place with a free ticket to Taiwan and a contract with a music company, as well as a role in a drama.

Jiro Wang graduated from an art college. He was first asked to join the entertainment business because of his good looks and singing talent that he showed at a singing competition. Because of company difficulties, he failed to release an album, so Jiro decided to continue his career in the industry by working backstage, mainly in charge of set designing and other designing necessities, as well as modelling. He was approached again around 2004, when his acting career began.

Although unstable at first, Fahrenheit first gained minor recognition around mid-2005 when their first series, KO One, was broadcasted on television in Taiwan. Because it felt awkward to have only three members in a boyband, Wu Zun joined the group later in late 2005. On December 28, 2005, Fahrenheit officially became a four-member boyband.
