Members: 言承旭 (Yan Cheng Xu, Jerry) 周渝民 (Zhou Yu Min, Vic) 吳建豪 (Wu Jian Hao, Vanness) 朱孝天 (Zhu Xiao Tian, Ken) Born: January 1, 1977 (Jerry) June 9, 1981 (Vic) August 7, 1978 (Vanness) January 15, 1979 (Ken) Origin: Taiwan (Jerry, Vic, Ken) West Virginia (Vannness) The Meteor Garden series is an adaptation of the Japanese shōjo manga series, Boys Over Flowers (Hana Yori Dango). The four boys played the four most popular and handsome boys at the university in the story; they were recognized as the group named the "Flower Four", hence the title: F4. Meteor Garden was released in Taiwan in 2001 and turned the leads into mega stars. In 2002 Meteor Garden was released in Hong Kong,Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and in the Philippines in 2003. The series was smuggled into Mainland China in 2002 despite an official ban by the authorities there on its showing due to its emphasis on power and materialism. A sequel, Meteor Garden II, was shot in Spain later and released in 2002. Being propelled into success, the company overseeing the Meteor Garden series used this new opportunity to their advantage. In 2001, F4 became a boyband and signed a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment. Together they have released two albums, Meteor Rain and Fantasy 4ever. On April 29, 2007, Meteor Garden producer Angie Chai announced that the group will no longer be known as F4. The change in name stems from copyright-related issues. Japanese publisher Shueisha, who owned the copyright to Boys Over Flowers (Hana Yori Dango) allowed the group to use F4 as its band name in 2001. However, as Japan has since filmed and aired its own live action versions of the popular manga, with its own cast of four, the publisher feels that there may be confusion over the name in different countries. Due to this conflict, the group has been renamed JVKV using the first initials of each of the group's members —Jerry, Vanness, Ken, and Vic. According to the producer, the members are listed in the new name by the order of their birth dates from oldest to youngest, thus Vanness Wu's name appears before Vic's.
