2003-03-03 - Taiwan's new sensation 5566's manager had recently insulted and put down F4, saying that their concert costumes were outdated, and that their concert was not outstanding, 5566 expressed modestly, that they have yet still to learn from F4.
Following the release of their debut album "1st Album" they arrived in Malaysia to promote. When the subject of their manager insulting F4 was brought up, reporters asked them to use a entertainer's perspective and rate F4's concert costumes. The three members: Tony Sun, Zax Wong and Jason Hui. expressed to the reporters that they should go consult their manager on this matter. But, they feel that F4's energy and atmosphere that they created during the concert was something that they should learn to develop.
"F4's costumes, they each have their own styles. We need to learn from F4 on this side too, but it was our manager who said their costumes were bad, you would have to go ask him, the moment he heard this subject brought up, he left right away."
Insulting F4?
This has nothing to do with 5566. 5566 revealed that "Every concert has
both ups and downs, each person has different opinions. Our group and F4's group
are different, we both need to learn and take after from each other's good
points, 5566 will have to look up to F4 for tips and find out their the secret
behind their charm!"
Regarding the fact that they want to overpower F4?
When reporters were asking this question, someone even asked, "Or do you feel that you guys have already passed F4's success?"
".......No, we haven't. It's normal for groups to compare one another. Also, each group will hope that they will become better than the other groups, and develop in a stronger group. We certainly aren't an exception, to want to surpass other groups, requires a lot of self-confidence and hard work!"
