F4 (Flower Four), later JVKV, was a Taiwanese boy group consisting of Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu, Ken Chu, and Vic Chou. The group was formed in 2001 after their fictional group of the same name in the Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden (2001) had propelled them to pan-Asian popularity. Together they have starred in several Taiwanese drama series and released three albums, Meteor Rain (2001), Fantasy 4ever (2002), and Waiting for You (2007).
F4 embarked on several concert tours, including the Fantasy Live World Tour and the F4 Japan Tour, with the former attracting around 600,000 people. In 2007, due to copyright issues, the group changed its name to JVKV, using the first initials of its members' names in descending order by age. The group disbanded in 2009.
