Overseasidol.com — On December 5, F4 comeback single “FOREVER FOREVER” with Jay Chou and Mayday’s Ashin collaboration has been released.
The track also leads into the upcoming concert tour “F✦FOREVER: City of Stars”, scheduled for December 19–22 in Shanghai.
Yet amid the excitement, fans quickly noticed the absence of one key member: Ken Chu.
On December 8, he finally addressed the situation through a video message, revealing what he described as the real reason behind his sudden exclusion while also pointing directly to A-jie (Hsieh Chi-fen), COO of BIN Music and Ashin’s manager.
BINMusic responded briefly, stating only, “No comment,”.
In the video, Ken said recent online rumors had become too chaotic, prompting him to clarify matters personally.
He stated that he never signed any contract with BIN Music and that all previous discussions were merely early-stage conversations about potential collaboration.
Ken went on to reveal that several months ago he declined three requests from the organizers.
After rejecting those conditions, communication from B’in Music was suddenly cut off.
He claimed he only discovered that he had been “removed” from the project through media reports circulating online.
His wife, actress Han Wenwen, previously mentioned in a livestream that Ken had lost 15 kilograms preparing for a possible F4 reunion, only to be met with waves of negativity and unfounded accusations.
Ken admitted that he, too, was blindsided and confirmed he would not participate in the F✦FOREVER events.
Despite the situation, Ken expressed no ill will toward the other three F4 members.
He emphasized that F4 was never a contract-bound group but rather a meaningful symbol of shared youth memories.
Therefore, he respects their individual choices in continuing their careers.
Ken also shared hope that one day, when all four members share the same intention, they could bring fans a true and complete reunion worthy of their long-standing expectations.
At the end of his message, he addressed A-jie directly, questioning her actions and the discrepancies between what was said and what transpired.
He stressed that there was no need for smear tactics and asked that matters be handled professionally.
“If your goal has already been achieved, please show some grace. Focus on the concert. I’ll return to my own work,” he concluded.
