However, 28 year old, Jerry Yan (Yan Cheng Xu), star of Taiwan's Meteor Garden Series, didn’t see his own brilliance shine until 2001. Before he starred with three, equally "glorious" men in the aforementioned series and altogether, becoming known as F4, Jerry Yan, has worked his way up the entertainment business as a model doing ramp shows and starring in other artists' MVs. In 2000, he topped in Men UNO's Modeling Competition (Taiwan). After then, he did a cameo role in the series Girls' Marching On and also acted in some episodes of Ma La Xian Shi.
When Meteor Garden I was released in 2001, F4 (Flower Four, which means men are beautiful than flowers) is formed and was introduced to the media in April of that year. It has been said that Meteor Garden has brought F4 a shot into ultimate stardom, and ever since then, they were regularly seen appearing in different TV shows, handling several interviews and even endorsing and advertising lots of products on TV and in prints. F4 has been a household name in other countries as China, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, and even in non-Chinese speaking countries as Thailand, Japan and the Philippines; their popularity even reached as far as the US, Canada and Australia. F4 has worked on the same projects, releasing two albums: Meteor Rain (2001) and Fantasy 4Ever (2002) until early 2003. They were also engaged in several concerts all over East Asia, Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia; however, while busy either shooting for the TV series or recording for the album, each of F4 has managed to do individual projects on the sides. Jerry Yan's acting prowess, alone, was put into test when he was given a major role together with two of HK's top actors, Jackie Cheung and Karen Mok, in the series "Love Scar". F4 also did the series Meteor Rain and Meteor Garden 2 in 2002.

F4 is a boy band from Taiwan. The group began in the Taiwanese television series Meteor Garden. Over time, F4 became popular in Asia. In April 2005, they launched into Japanese market. They were a pop group, targeting Asia's teenage market, and comprised of the four main characters from Meteor Garden.
The series is an adaptation of the Japanese shojo manga series, Hana Yori Dango ("Boys Over Flowers"). 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. 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.
In 2001, F4 became a boyband and signed a record deal with Sony. Together they have released two albums, Meteor Rain and Fantasy 4ever. Zhou has released two of his own. Wu, Yan and Zhu have released one each.
In 2002, F4 sang the Mandarin cover of Can't Help Falling in Love included in Walt Disney's Lilo & Stitch soundtrack for the region of Asia. The English version of this song is sung by A*Teens, which is a cover of the 1961 Elvis Presley hit "Can't Help Falling In Love".
F4 has been sponsored by Pepsi, Yamaha Motorbikes and Samuel & Kevin
