Fahrenheit, the next F4?

Fahrenheit, the next F4?

5 years ago, 4 gorgerous males hit Asia and have made it big. This heavenly group is known as F4. 5 years later, the next popular group have arrived, Fahrenheit. The name Fahrenheit is due to the meaning of different temperatures, representing each member. 183Club just finished their promotions not long ago, and now it's Fahrenheits turn. On November 14th, Fahrenheit went to Bejing and attracted over 1000 fans to come support them .

The scene was just as crazy as 5 years ago when F4 had all the females scream and yell for them. Both groups are made up of 4 goodlooking males, both groups became well known and popular through their debut drama, "Meteor Garden" and "KO One." When seeing the chaos, Fahrenheit says: "We were afraid that there would be no one here, that no one knew of us. But seeing this makes us very happy."

Fahrenheit's management company is "Comic Ritz," and if you know of "Meteor Garden," then you should know of "Comic Ritz." This is the company that one-handed made F4 the kings of Asia, making them the most popular male group until this day. "Comic Ritz" is also the the company of F4's mother, AngieCai.

When comparing the 2 groups, there seems to be many similarities. Both groups became popular due to their idol-dramas, and every time Fahrenheit accepts any interviews, they are asked about the thoughts on the comparision between them and F4. Fahrenheit's repsonse is: "F4 is Asia's first male group, no one can take their place. Our boss is their producer, so in a sense they are our seniors. We need to learn a lot from them." Ever since the contract ended in 2001 for F4, AngieCai has been looking for new faces to create a new male group.

When speakng of their popularity wise, both groups have similiar experiences. In China, neither of the dramas "Meteor Garden" nor "KO One" were ever broadcasted, but more then 80% of the female fans have access to the internet to download the most popular and recent series, allowing them to know the 2 groups. During the function that day, the females fans were asked which other groups do they support, most of them answered "S.H.E and Katun." The females today are different then the females a few years ago. They were also asked what their opinion of F4 was, and they said that they dont like them because they are "too old." They like young, fresh and natural new faces.

Ever since the popularity of F4 hit Asia, male groups became a trend. Not only do the male groups star in dramas, they also sing and host as well. Take 183Club for example. This group has been the dreams of many females, and they have acted in "Prince Turned into Frog," "Le Robe De Mariage Des Cieux," "Magician Love" etc. They came to China to promote their CD not too long ago, and although they didnt attract as many fans as F4 or cause as much chaos, they still have won the hearts of many.
