It is not the first time Fahrenheit members are rumoured to be at odds with each other.

Members of Taiwanese boy band Fahrenheit Jiro Wang, Aaron Yan and Calvin Chen, and Taiwanese actor Danson Tang shot to fame in 2005 after starring in the well-received drama KO One.

Although the show's production crew had wanted to a sequel last December, the project has now been postponed indefinitely.

The script is believed to be delayed as Aaron decided to quit the production after discovering that he would play second male lead to Jiro's lead role. The two are said to be on bad terms with each other.

In previous reports, Aaron reportedly said that he did not feel that his popularity was less than the other members. He even added that the other members were unhappy because he received more attention. However, the singer neither acknowledged nor denied when a reporter asked if the member who was "unhappy" referred to Jiro.

Aaron's manager denied the rumour, saying that the sequel was shelved because the producer wanted to come up with a better script. As Aaron would be releasing his solo EP after the Lunar New Year, it is unconfirmed if he would be able to take on the project.

The manager also said that it was usual for members to engage in "friendly competition".

Aaron Yan dishes advice for preparing a bed scene

MSN Entertainment

What does it take for one to prepare for a bed scene? For Aaron Yan, all it took was five simple steps.

In his recent drama Gloomy Salad Days, the story described Aaron and co-star Serena Fang falling in love with each other during their past lives.

On the day of the shoot, the singer-actor dived straight to the set of the drama after completing overseas commitments and filmed his first bed scene for the drama. While it might have looked like an easy scene, Aaron was actually stressed out.

"I didn't know where to put my hands, or how much body contact we should have," said the idol.

The director Zero Chou however told Aaron to "give himself to Serena Fang".

Aaron undertook the scenes responsibly and even came up with five steps of preparation, namely "brushing teeth, putting on perfume, doing push-ups, wearing swimming trunks and taking in a bit of alcohol".

Apart from brushing his teeth for at least 10 minutes in order to retain the freshness of his breath, he even sprayed on perfume, which was said to excite female hormones. The actor demanded Serena to grade him and his co-star gave him "face", by replying "not bad" shyly.

As the singer-actor also wanted to look great on television, he did a couple of push-ups before the actual filming.

He explained, "I wasn't sure which part of my body was going to be revealed, so I trained up my back and arm muscles."

Furthermore, Aaron wanted to wear only underwear for the scene, but added an extra pair of swimming trunks after the production crew warned him about accidentally exposing more than he should.

Lastly, to relax his nerves, Aaron drank some alcohol before the shoot, only to fall asleep while the director was adjusting the camera. She shook him for a period of time before he woke up.

"I wanted to just take away my nervousness initially, but I guess I ended up being too relaxed," said Aaron in embarrassment.

Aaron's courage boosted after this experience, claiming that he would "take more clothes off the next time".

Translated by: fufu @ CpopAccess

In regards to rumors about the group being on bad terms and news of them disbanding, Fahrenheit responds, “We’re used to it, so we might as well not respond. A group will always go through these sort of things.” It is a fact that the popularity of each member is different, but all four members express, “This is good competition. We will only know what’s good and bad when there is comparison.” They emphasize that they won’t be jealous of each other even when they work as solo artists in the future. Fahrenheit will be releasing their 4th album in August and after that, they will have only one more album left to complete their contract.

Wu Chun, the rising movie star
Wu Chun not only sings, stars in dramas and movies, but also owns a fitness center. Aaron Yan compliments, “He has his thoughts on things and is a person with principle.” Although Wu Chun loves to eat, he still manages to keep a fit body, but Jiro Wang reveals, “One time when we were promoting in Singapore, I asked him to save me two ribs, but in the end, I only saw leftover bones.” Just several days ago at their autographing session, when they spoke of food, Jiro made fun of Wu Chun, and called him a “pig” saying, “You pretend to be a ‘pig’ (play dumb) and swallow a tiger (this year is tiger year).”

Jiro and Aaron are the two who are most interested in music, and they plan to release an EP this year. Jiro will reunite with his five-member band, Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛), from highschool, “This was a promise we made in high school. We must stand on stage together.” He promises that he will introduce Dong Cheng Wei to the fans with the aid of his popularity.

Aaron learns Jazz theory and guitar
Aaron is currently working hard on learning Jazz theory and guitar, and is expected to release his solo album this year, containing five songs. Other members express their support: Calvin Chen says that he will be the MC at his press conference, while Wu Chun and Jiro want to attend as special guests to help promote. Furthermore, Aaron’s other wish is to obtain a driver’s license, “Everyone says that a boy cannot become a man without a driver’s license. I’m already 24.”

Calvin dreams of becoming a host
Calvin on the other hand, has recommended himself to TV networks to become a host. Wu Chun comments, “He’s a sunny boy that knows how to tell jokes, so hosting definitely wouldn’t be a problem. I hope that I can be on his variety show one day.” Calvin will give himself two years time to pursue his dream as a variety show host. He expresses that his pay is not an issue. In addition, he is open to talk about sex and/or hot topics such as scandals and rumors, “As long as it has been communicated with the guest and we both know what the limit is.” But gossips or hot topics both require the interviewer to press for, thus, Calvin replies that he would use phrases like “surveys indicate,” or “netizens want to know,” type of format to open discussions and not affect his guests' emotions while also keeping his viewers interested.

Bad luck for Fahrenheit’s Aaron Yan

Source : xinmsn.com

For the Chinese, the last place they would want to be in during the Hungry Ghost Festival is the hospital.

Yet Aaron Yan has visited the hospital not once, but twice in the past two weeks.

On the first day of the Hungry Ghost Festival (Aug 10), Aaron came down with a heat stroke while filming and was briefly hospitalized.

Recently while filming a new drama serial, the actor injured himself.

This time, he was doing a conflict scene with veteran actor Jack Kao when they got carried away in their clash and Aaron accidentally hit his head on the wall.

Although he was fine on impact, Aaron began feeling unwell as filming went on and started having dizzy spells.

A late-night check-up at the hospital revealed that Aaron had suffered a minor concussion due to the impact.

With two visits to the hospital during the Hungry Ghost Festival period, which is considered extremely inauspicious and unlucky in traditional Chinese belief, Aaron immediately went to a temple to pray for divine protection.

Not all is going against Aaron though.

Aaron and his fellow Fahrenheit members are preparing to launch their fourth studio album, So Hot.

To demonstrate the "hot" theme of the album, the boys donned black 'hole-y' singlets, which Calvin Chen complained that looks like a fishermen's net, to show off their muscles for their album cover.

"Our costumes are minimum fabric bought at maximum price," quipped Jiro Wang.

Fahrenheit’s Aaron Yan attends fan-meeting despite ear illness

Unwilling to disappoint fans, Aaron Yan from Fahrenheit decided to go ahead and attend the fan-meeting session despite his ear infection

Source: Mediacorp TV

When one of your fans apparently blew S$700 on a mobile phone handset just to get her own hands on tickets to your exclusive event, you just gotta show up no matter at what cost, even if a ear infection is troubling you.

That’s what Aaron Yan, one quarter of Taiwanese boy band, Fahrenheit, did at their music showcase last week at St James Power Station, jointly organized by Sony Ericsson and M1. Tickets to the exclusive event were only available by purchasing a handset by the phonemaker. Obviously that didn’t deterred fangirls who willingly splurged for an opportunity to cozy up with their idols.

The four lads made their appearance at 8.30pm and crooned their popular radio hits such as ‘New Home’ and ‘Ai Dao’ because they knew that local fans adored them.

It was revealed that while the band was busy with their concert preparations in Hangzhou, Aaron’s ear became infected (Meniere’s Disease) due to the change in climate and sudden temperature drop.

The 24-year-old was still on intravenous therapy when they landed in Singapore last Tuesday. He did not attend a radio interview, but being the professional that he was, decided to attend the fan-meeting session afterwards to not disappoint them.

During the fan session, the boys looked back on their activities of 2009, and poignantly said, “Holding a concert world tour this year makes it feel particularly meaningful. We are thankful to the local fans for being really concerned about our activities although we have not been visiting Singapore.”

The quartet then pinky-promised fans that they’ll return and visit Singapore again next year.
