Fahrenheit (Chinese: 飛輪海; pinyin: Fēilúnhǎi) was a Taiwanese boy band formed in 2005, initially consisting of Jiro Wang, Calvin Chen, Wu Chun, and Aaron Yan. They are managed by Comic International Productions (). The group's music is distributed by HIM International Music in Taiwan, by WOW Music in Hong Kong and by Pony Canyon in Japan. Fahrenheit are often associated with their seniors, S.H.E, who are also under HIM International Music.
HIM announced in an official statement on 22 June 2011 that Wu Chun had left the group and it will continue as a trio. Even so, Chun has stated on his official blog that he still considers Fahrenheit an important part of his life and only decided to leave so that he will have more time with his family, and that he will try his best to be able to work with Fahrenheit's other three members in the future. The three remaining members have also stated on multiple occasions that they still consider Chun a part of Fahrenheit.
Fahrenheit first gained minor recognition around late 2005 when they first acted altogether in the series, KO One, was broadcast on television in Taiwan. Wu Chun joined the group later in late 2005. On December 28, 2005, Fahrenheit officially became a vocal quartet boy band.
