Taiwan singer-actor Wu Chun’s manager Lu Shu Juan has denied recent news reports that Wu will be leaving Taiwan boy band Fahrenheit to focus on a solo career, reported Chinese media.
“There is no such thing. Wu Chun did not announce that he is going solo during a meet-the-fans session.
“He just told a reporter during an interview that his main focus for this year will be film when asked about the expiry of his music contract,” explained Lu on Tuesday.
“People just like to use strong words to describe things.” said Wu’s manager, who reiterated that “Wu did not announce he was going solo”.
31-year-old Wu’s former record label H.I.M International has confirmed that Wu’s contracts with the company had indeed expired, but said the Brunei-born singer, along with band mates Calvin Chen, Jiro Wang and Aaron Yan, will still remain together as Fahrenheit.
“Although, Wu Chun’s management contract and album contract have not been settled upon, we are still taking care of his appearances and spokesperson engagements,” said a H.I.M representative on Tuesday.
“Fahrenheit will not dissolve. While all four members have their own plans this year, the company will still do its best to arrange for the four of them to perform on stage together.”
Wu previously worked as a model and managed a chain of gyms in Brunei before joining Fahrenheit in 2005.
He appeared with action star Donnie Yen in the martial arts film “14 Blades” last year and will star opposite Barbie Hsu in director Gao Xiaosong’s upcoming film “My Kingdom”.
He will also play Rainie Yang’s love interest in the idol drama “Sunshine Angel” which is slated to debut later this year.
Fei Lun Hai (Fahrenheit) appeared at San Queyi, Beijing, but they seemed to be incomplete as Wu Chun was missing and only Aaron, Jiro, Calvin performed at that night. The trio sang “心疼你的心疼” and “守護星” songs and in between they imitated each others dance movements of “Sexy Girl” in funny way that exploded laugh in the audience. In response, to the dissolution rumours the three of them denied it straightly.
It was reported that, Wu Chun’s absence from this activity is not because of the dissolution as the rumours go on, but because he is busy with his own work in Brunei. There have been many rumours that Wu Chun stood out (quitting) because of being felt alienated from the other 3 members.
No disbanding
The 3 of them clarified in the same that: Every time there are people who says this, it is not like some personal planning, Wu Chun has helped us opened a window for us on the big screen, he made us known through different channel groups in other countries, so there is no so-called jealousy. As for the outside world this “Dissolution” is most famous they said, Aaron Yan said bluntly, “Really, now in the group Fahrenheit, I’m the only one left” .
Competition with other Groups
On the issue of competing with them, said that “The first Chinese Music Group Combination” SJ-M for a long time been one, but the Captain’s sudden leaving , had left many issues unsolved. Aaron’s response is not ambiguous: “I think Han and the company may some misunderstanding between them, I think they will eventually find a way to resolve it”. In addition, Aaron also said that, “Fahrenheit has also completed recording 4 new songs” . His words also made the Fahrenheit’s dissolution rumours untrue.
Aaron Yan ” Bad luck founds him “
As Fahrenheit’s “Most authoritive spokesperson” Aaron had bad luck in past year again and again. Originally “Momo” male lead, he did not go through as Gui Gui trouble did not end and, finally the drama has stopped for nearly a year. After re-shooting,the company replaced Jiro for the lead.
