The annual awards event celebrates the best in fashion styles from singers, actors, and talented artists from all over Asia. Fahrenheit made an appearance backstage for an interview, and the following is a transcript of that interview.

Host: Coming down to the interview room is the group Fahrenheit. Welcome, Fahrenheit. Let’s first take a photo. Long time no see, Fahrenheit. You four are getting more and more handsome. I wanted to congratulate you guys on behalf of your fans for winning the Most Styling Taiwanese Singing Group award. You guys had a great reception, and after being on the red carpet, your fans went totally nuts.

Host: After expressing your feelings of gratitude, let’s quickly answer some questions. We know that Fahrenheit is continually busy performing on the road and in dramas. Can you tell us what is the most important arrangement that you guys have lined up? Is it acting, singing? Or is it some side project that you’re starting to develop?

Jiro: What we’ve been busy with recently is our concert. Our DVD is also about to be released. We’re going to many cities to promote it, and we hope that with our closer proximity with everyone, that this CD will truly be great. We hope everyone will support us.

Host: Hangzhou is very close. You can ride over there.

Question: What was your greatest gain this year?

Arron: The close mindset and feelings with the four of us. There were rumors of us disbanding earlier, but these things are actually testing us. We will grab onto that and work hard.

Question: Your last album had a rock style. What style will your upcoming album have?

Calvin: What you’re talking about is our DVD concert album. Our fans from mainland China can go online to listen to our new song. We hope everyone will be interested in newest performance.

At the 2009 MTV Super Festival held in Shanghai last week, Taiwanese boy band Fahrenheit took the red carpet walk with Jade Liu, their junior from the same management company.

The 27-year-old newbie singer shared her excitement and honor to be in the company of her established seniors: "Walking on the red carpet with them feels like I am being hugged left and right," she laughingly commented.

Arron Yan shared that he has been listening to Jade's latest music album, Forward. The singer continuously sang praises of Jade's vocal prowess and said that he was "too engrossed and mesmerized by her singing."

At the MTV Super Festival, Fahrenheit bagged the group with the best style award, reaffirming their popularity amongst fans. The courteous boys were all smiles when they received the award and shared that they were eager to watch the performances of their other seniors at the event. They promised to work even harder and gain more experience to do well in the coming year.

As one of the event's special guests, Jade performed a song composed by Tanya Chua, 'Adore You' and dedicated the performance to her seniors that night to show her respect and adoration for them.

Arron Yan of the popular Taiwanese boyband Fahrenheit seems to be bringing trouble along with him wherever he goes- whether it is to other countries for promotional acticities or at his very own home. What may be the reason for such conflicts? None other than the constant harrassment acts by his very own die-heart fans.

These bold fans of have been camping out all night below his flat, causing a disturbance amongst his neighbors which forces Arron to constantly apologize on behalf of his so-called-supporters.

Moreover, during his past birthday, Arron's fans broke into his hotel room in China after he had checked out and discovered birthday presents from his fans that were left behind. This led to internet fans to protest aigainst Arron's unthoughtful actions towards his loving fans. Arron, however, was upset and even mad because he felt that his privacy was violated by this event.

Obsessed Fahrenheit fans have been known for following and ~~stalking~~ the group. They tend to take their love for these television stars to the extreme by even following them back to their real home.

After moving houses in July, fans were quick to follow him to his new home. Surprisingly enough, this extreme fandom does not only reach out to Taiwanese fans of the band. It was reported during this time that 10 female fans from overseas lingered outside Arron's new flat in this different country without even booking hotels or finding housing with family members. The prescence of these fan girls had disturbed the near-by neighbors of Arron which resulted in numerous complaints. He had repeatedly asked the girls not to cause such disturbances, but was unsuccessful. Arron and his family were at the point were they could only apologize to their neighbors due to their own inability to calm Arron's fans.

Even with Arron showing visible anger in his expressions, fans are continuing on with their acts of disruptance and stalkerness.

Chinese fans of Arron, who had broken into his hotel room after he checked found that he had not taken all his birthday presents. Despite being caught avoiding fans' gracious offerings of love, Arron has stated that: "I hope fans can give me a little more respect."

Arron later summarized in a blog entry that during his 10-day work schedule in China, he purposely brought 3 big suitcases- including one that was completely empty so that he could put all the presents he would receive in it. However, since fans sent an overwhelming amount of gifts, they were not all able to fit in his suitcase which forced Arron to leave some behind. Regardless, he did manage to take all the letters and cards sent by fans and he will make sure to read them all at another time.p

I think fans should give Arron a break seeing as how they have crazy fans-being of the only big male idol group in Taiwan. With so much pressure on all the Fahrenheit boys to meet high expectations, it should be reasonable to give them a break for a while- especially on their birthday! Plus, Arron did justify his acts and apologized for everything regardless of whether or not he personally believed it was his fault.

So what do you think? Are fans making a big deal out of nothing? Or should Arron have found another way to get all his presents?
