Vanness
Wu is probably best known for his role in the famous and popular Taiwanese television series, Meteor Garden and its
sequel. He is also a part of the (extremely) popular Taiwanese singing group, F4, which is famous not only in Taiwan,
but popular in Japan, Phillipines, Hong Kong, Vietnam and many other places in Asia. He has released one solo album, "Body
Will Sing" and has represented and advertised in many commercials before, including Pepsi, MP3 Recorder Walkman, Siemans
2118 and Samuel & Kevin.
Born in America, he speaks English and Mandarin with perfect pronounciation.
He enjoys singing, dancing, rapping and acting (he has a reputation for being the best dancer in F4). Vanness began singing
from an early age and use to be a part of the "L.A. Boyz", a US Taiwanese singing group. At the age of 18, his family
consisting of his parents, older sister, and younger brother and sister, moved from America to Taiwan. However, he did not
cut off his ties with American pop culture at all - he has recorded a rap that was put on Beyonce Knowles' Asian edition of
"Dangerously In Love" and in 2004, co-hosted the 2004 MTV Asia Awards with Michelle Branch.
In 2006, he and Kangta teamed up to release their first single, "SCANDAL",
under the group name, Kangta & Vanness, signed under SM Entertainment, a famous Korean agency.
