 JVKV is a popular boy band from Taiwan. The group began in the Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden as F4 with members Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu, Ken Chu, and Vic Zhou. They have also attained popularity in other countries in Asia, such as Japan. F4 (2001-2002)The Meteor Garden series is an adaptation of the Japanese shōjo manga series, Boys Over Flowers (Hana Yori Dango). Yan plays the lead role of Dao Ming Si, an extremely arrogant and rich university student who meets his match in the poor but proud girl, Shan Cai - played by Barbie Hsu. Zhou, Wu and Zhu play his friends Hua Ze Lei, Mei Zuo, and Xi Men respectively. The four boys were the most popular and handsome boys at the university; they were recognised as the group named the "Flower Four", hence the title: F4. Meteor Garden was released in Taiwan in 2001 and turned the leads into stars virtually overnight[citation needed]. 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[citation needed]. A sequel, Meteor Garden II, was shot in Spain later and released in 2002. The success of "Meteor Garden" is notable because it has launched the idol drama craze. In 2001, F4 became a boyband and signed a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment. Together they have released three albums, Meteor Rain, Fantasy 4ever, and "Waiting for You Here". In 2002, F4 sang the Mandarin cover of "Can't Help Falling in Love" included in the Asian version of Walt Disney's Lilo & Stitch soundtrack. The English version of this song is sung by A*Teens, which is a cover of the 1961 Elvis Presley hit of the same title. They also made the Mandarin cover of Yo Te Amo by Chayanne. F4 has been sponsored by Pepsi, Yamaha Motorbikes and Samuel & Kevin. The Taiwan Tourism Bureau appointed members of F4 as Tourism Ambassadors on March 9, 2007. Their "Wish to See You in Taiwan" campaign involves filming a television advertisement and a drama series filmed on tourist locations. As tourism ambassadors, F4 members also invited its overseas fans from South Korea and elsewhere to visit Taiwan.
JVKV (2007-present)On April 29, 2007, Meteor Garden producer Angie Chai announced that the group would no longer be known as F4. The change in name stemmed from copyright-related issues. Japanese publisher Shueisha, who owns the copyright to Boys Over Flowers allowed the group to use F4 as its band name in 2001. However, as Japan had filmed and aired its own live action versions of the popular manga, with its own cast of four, the publisher felt that there may be confusion over the name in different countries. Due to this conflict, the group was renamed JVKV using the first initials of each of the group's members. 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 Zhou's. Despite rumours of disbanding, JVKV has released their third album, Waiting For You, on December 28, 2007. Their third album still bore the name F4, not JVKV. |

UH-OH! ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I AM SO CRAZED. WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THEM? THEY ARE ONE OF THE REASONS KUNG BAKIT AKO KUMAKANTA IN MANDARIN. I HAVEN'T BEEN AS CRAZY AS I WAS WITH NSYNC SINCE I LAID EYES ON F4/JVKV. THEY GAVE A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO THE WORD "ADIK" TO ME. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SUCH A FANATIC UNTIL F4 CAME.  |

Honga! I don't think the fans will get confuse with the name F4, kasi they are very popular all throughout Asia! So kung gumawa man ang Japan ng Version ng MG they still would recognize the Taiwanese F4... Hence, they don't really need to change there name to JVKV, and Vaness should change his hair color, it doesn't give him justice!
