The concert started with Fahranheit wearing “space warrior armors” popping up from the center of the stage, wearing masks, hands holding cape, attracting the entire audience to scream loudly. After taking off their masks, they held up swords and consecutively sang two songs “Chu Shen Ru Hua”, “Wo You Wo De Young”, with just Fahrenheit waving the colorful neon swords on stage right from the start of the show, it was already enough to cause the entire atmosphere to approach climax. Then, Fahrenheit sang 2 of fans’ most favorite love songs “Xin Li You Shu”, “Ming Ri Xiang” showing off their harmony vocals learned from recent intensive training. Big screen LED tv showing many hot air balloons floating, while there are many colorful flying kites flying around at the scene, Fahrenheit changed into aviation outfits to return to the stage once more on raising platforms to sing “Xiao Xiao Da Ren Wu”, Half way through the performance, the 4 stood on flying platforms individually and raised up into the air to 5 stories high, besides bringing the live audience back to childhood, it also gave them the passion of witholding and fulfilling a dream. Under the warm atmosphere, they continued to sing 3 classic Fahrenheit songs “Ai Dao”, “Ai De Wang Dao”, “Xia Xue”, the entire audience gather together to sing, while high screams continued to sound.
For the 1st concert, Fahrenheit had prepared many exciting content to give everyone surprises, Fahrenheit also revealed “Often due to working schedule, could only use the time during midnight or early morning to practise.” After the big screen showed the 4 individual solo’s silhouette, Fahrenheit changed into black & red rocker costumes as a band to start the show, Aaron on the keyboard, Jiro the guitarist, Chun the drummer, Calvin the beat-boxer, “Hi everyone, we’re the Fahrenheit Band.” First time performing as a band has made the entire audience completely oblivious.

As the concert showed one climax after another, following the old school style, the entire audience had started to show disbelief, seeing Chun changed into a black warrior costume with one hand hanging on wire, while the other hand waving warrior sword landing from the high stage to the lower stage, while Chun’s 8 second wire-hanging entrance cost NT $500,000 for insurance, During the entire audience’s high scream, Chun performed a “large-scale acrobating fighting dance” combining sword movement and fighting to create a combat scene. After beating the enemies, he hung on wires once more to fly back to the high stage to join the rest of Fahrenheit. The 4 holds a 120cm long sword to perform “Bu Si Zi Mi”, “soul-stirring” is the best phrase to describe this performance, because the 4 swaying long swords in hand has not only made the audience nervous, but it also made Fahrenheit extremely nervous because the swords are sharp. During rehearsal, Jiro almost injuried Chun’s face, Chun almost got his face disfigured for practising the sword swaying, hence a very exciting and nerve-wracking atmosphere was successfully created at the entire scene during the sword dance in “Bu Si Zi Mi” performance. In order to demonstrate Chinese martial art style, after showing off sword dance during “Bu Si Zi Mi”, they immediately sang Jay Chou’s “Nunchucks”, besides playing with nunchucks, Fahrenheit also intergrated “Tai Chi” movements in their dance moves, each sword movement was facinating to watch, anf after this exciting performance, all 4 of Fahrenheit were sweating like mad, soaking their white shirts, making the live fans go even more crazy.
In the end, Fahrenheit sang “Heng Xing”, “Wei Ni Cun Zai”. The live 12,000 fans sang along to create the perfect ending. At the end on stage, Fahrenheit emotionally expresses: “This concert, we’ve awaited for 3 years, finally we could make it happen, we each put in a lot of effort for this performance, thank you to each and everyone of you for making our dream come true.” When the 4 of Fahrenheit goes off the stage from a rising platform, the entire audience drummed wildly and repeatedly shout out “ENCORE”, and Fahrenheit did not let the live fans down, with Calvin first appearing on stage with a DJ Scratch Solo and a solo Scratch dance, then the 4 people used a relaxed party atmosphere to sing 3 up-beat songs “Zhi Dui Ni You Gan Jue”, and Senior S.H.E’s “Mei Li Xin Shi Jie”, “Xin Wo” as the concert ended in a lively, party-like atmosphere. Coming into the industry from idol dramas, idol group Fahrenheit has successfully conquered Hong Kong in the 2-day performance in the HK stop in order to prove that they can sing and dance charismatically on stage.

I am leaving for Hongkong for our world tour concert soon. What should I say? I guess I am more excited than nervous.
This is the only and the most important task to me this year.
I figure that my job is more than just a career. It’s what I really love doing.
Moreover, I held a responsibility towards all of you.
As usual, I will do my best. Haven’t seen you guys for quite a while. Let us know each other more deeply from this world tour concert.
Because of the world tour concert, we had our own ear monitor made.
We were able to design our own logo on the monitor.
I designed my own logo as shown in my album. What does it mean? I believe you will find out really soon.
Creativity makes life more fun, right?
Ok, let’s work hard together.
See you guys at our first stop world tour concert in Hongkong this weekend!

Comparison of Wu Zun and Takeshi Kaneshiro
Takeshi Kaneshiro holds a high position in the eyes of many audiences especially females, speaking of the most handsome Asian guy, Takeshi Kaneshiro’s name will be the three words that will come out from the mouth. Wu Zun, young man, the most famous member of the new pop idol group Fahrenheit. Although it might seems too early to compare him with Takeshi Kaneshiro but he is indeed someone not to miss. In a vote for ‘Taiwan’s No. 1 Pretty Boy’ hosted by Yahoo! in 2007, Wu Zun was voted no. 1 with 14305 votes beating Takeshi Kaneshiro who had 8952 votes.
When Wu Zun joined the industry, he was said to be the combination of Wang Leehom and Daniel Wu. As the leading member of Fahrenheit, Wu Zun has elegance and handsomeness. This year he stepped into the movie circle for the first time to act in Jingle Ma’s latest romance action movie ‘Butterfly Lovers’ and appeared in period clothing. Compared to Takeshi Kaneshiro’s handsome look in ‘House of Flying Daggers’, Wu Zun’s reincarnation of Liang Shan Bo is more friendly and energetic. As this is Wu Zun’s first ‘electrocution’ with movie, using his acting and language to compare with Takeshi Kaneshiro it would not be fair, but his hard work and seriousness is definitely worth to be learnt by many youngsters, he insist on completing every action move himself and in seriousness, even martial arts director Cheng Xiao Dong also praised him.
Besides his acting career, Wu Zun’s singing side is also developing well. As the most popular group, the popularity is not only based on looks, having the vocal is also important. Due to culture differences, Wu Zun worked harder that the other artistes, no matter how difficult or how tiring it is, Wu Zun always show his sunshine side to the audiences. He always wore a smile and always looks energetic.
Wu Zun’s family is also a strong backing for him. Wu Zun has the nickname call ‘Prince of Brunei’, his family and Brunei’s sultan is long-time friends. These titles added glory for Wu Zun, let numerous girls fall for him. Gentle, warm to others, don’t have the style of a superstar, how can anyone not love this type of good idol? No matter where Wu Zun goes, it will cause a stir, his fans team is increasing and the warmth is increasing too. From known, ‘Butterfly Lovers’ will be shown in Asia in October, there will be a grand premiere ceremony in Brunei, as the most famous people in Brunei its difficult to imagine the scenario at the premiere in Brunei, maybe it would be like big bomb causing a stir in Brunei’s entertainment circle.
Actually no matter if Wu Zun will become the next Takeshi Kaneshiro or not, still hopes that he will become an evergreen and grow up well in this colourful entertainment circle.

Chun says he will suicide if his wife dies; believes his wife will not marry again if he dies
After filming upcoming movie “Butterfly Lovers”, Chun talks about the plot of the movie when he and Charlene commits suicide. He said that because he really entered into the situation, he painfully thinks back to when his mother passed away. In real life, would you die for love? Chun immediately replies, “Yes! If my wife dies, I will suicide. The person who leaves us experiences the most pain, because he/she is being forced to leave. Facing death, she will be scared, I don’t want her to be scared, so I will die with her to give her courage.”
Mother ill, hid this for 10 years
Chun says that he will never forget the past when his mother hid her illnesss. He says, “She was ill for 10 years, at first we all didn’t know. I left the country and went abroad to study for 5 years, even when my mum gradually got skinnier and skinnier, I didn’t notice anything wrong. Not until I graduated, and my big sister got married, my mother told us that she had only half a year’s time. These 10 years, she was scared we would notice anything, so when we were at home, she would bring us water to drink every night.”
Losing his mother, hurt so much that he does not want to be human
Chun was upset and angry at himself for being so stupid for 10 years. When his mother eventually told him that she only had half a year’s time left, he took her to various countries for medical treatment. Once, when in Moscow (capital of Russia), he witnessed the doctor opening a hole in her, and sticking some tubes into her to help treat the cancer, without any anesthetic being used at all. That time, he really felt his mother’s pain, and mentioning this, Chun has a painful expression on his face and holds back tears. Chun says that after his mother passed away, he really “hated life”, and there was one point when he hurt so much that he didn’t want to be human anymore.
Single-minded dedication to love
Chun decides to “die for love”, and oppositely, will he want his loved one to die with him? He says, “I don’t need this kind of courage, she does not need to die with me, as long as she is happy and I will always be in her heart.” If he dies first, can she marry again? Chun looks startled and shouts, “Impossible, impossible!” He deeply believes that his loved one will never love anyone else and won’t marry to anyone else, from this we can see Chun’s single-minded dedication to love.

A few days ago, Chun and Charlene went on “100% Entertainment” hosted by Show Luo to promote for their upcoming film “Butterfly Lovers”. Show, who has sparked gay rumours with Chun does not avoid to flirt. As soon as they meet, he grabs Chun’s chest, and this scared Chun so much that he retreated 3 steps. Afterwards, during the “Acting Test”, Show acts as a tram driver and harasses Chun and Charlene, he then takes advantage of the situation and grabs Chun’s butt, Chun unable to stand it any longer, yells, “You’re so pervert! Keep feeling me up!” But Show actually indigently replies, “You’re my girlfriend, it doesn’t matter!”
Chun and Charlene also flirted with each other during the show; both saying the other has a big appetite. Charlene teased Chun saying he is a cow, because he can eat 10 Japanese sushi in one meal, but Chun quickly retorted back, “You’re the pig! You can eat 2 bowls of rice for supper!”

That Stage
Never thought before, that this situation have come upon us so quickly
To me, that is a milestone
But on the other hand, pressure is building up, I believe this has to be experienced
How long has it been since I last shared my feelings in this place
In a blink of an eye, three years have passed
Preparing to take off is a type of self discipline to see my own results
There are many people who have once accompanied me through the hard times in life, what are they doing now?
Some people don’t keep in touch as much anymore, some people who have shared feelings in the past have not come anymore
Some people almost forgot his voice when he speaks, some people to others are just like cotton candy thread with a blurred memory
At the same time, people who don’t know each other yet they met due to fate and chance, creating a bond
Coming and going, rushing here and there, how many Chinese New Year feast & routine have passed
How many lonely Valentine’s Day have passed, some matters have become numb
Yet other matters have start to show hope, I’ve always hoped to mature
Yet sometimes I wish there is someone who could directly tell me what to do
Contradiction is a tough problem that I face most often, the fun part is, it has also created contrasting aestheticity
One decision will create trillions of different possible outcomes
Should there be a crystal ball to help me make decisions
Clear questions have clear choices, I only need to choose the option that will be, unlike forgetting to carve a missing word where the phrase will result in different meaning and outcome
Reading up to this point, believe there’s people who will tell me
Life should be adventurous Take A Risk
To make it colorful and exciting
Yes yes WELL now a decision has to be made again, should I be satisfied and remain the same or should I continue to face the future bravely?

Fahrenheit are the new ambassadors for Taiwan in both Japan and Korea. The 4 together help to promote Taiwan, but offstage, they like to reveal gossip about each other. Calvin revealed that Chun has a very weird habit, “He doesn’t ‘En En’* in his own room, but goes to other people’s room to do it.” However, Chun retorted back saying, that Calvin is more dirty than him.
Calvin and Chun share a room, and Calvin says that Chun has a lot of rules: other peoples’ shoes and clothes cannot be left about, and he does not allow other people to come to his room to eat or go to the toilet. However, the night before yesterday, Chun unexpectedly went to Calvin’s room, and went into the toilet for a long time and still did not come out. It was then realised that Chun could not stand “En En” in his own room, so he went to Calvin’s room instead!
It is not only Chun that has a weird habit; Jiro likes to hang his underwear in his room and Aaron claims that even 2 people’s towels are not enough for him. Now due to all of their weird habits, whenever they have any overseas promotions or performances, they will all sleep in separate rooms!
