Biography[]
Aaron, real name Wu Geng Lin (simplified Chinese: 吴庚霖; traditional Chinese: 吳庚霖; pinyin: Wú Gēnglín) was born on November 20, 1985 in Taiwan. At a young age, his family moved to New York, U.S., where he stayed for his primary school education for about five years. He then moved back to Taiwan for further education.
He can speak and understand Mandarin, Taiwanese, English and limited Japanese and Cantonese. He was a sophomore at Chinese Culture University, majoring in Journalism and News Broadcasting. However, because his career had greatly affected his academics and learning environment, he transferred to Jin Wen University of Science and Technology, majoring in English.[1]
Health[]
Yan underwent knee surgery in 2006 due to an injury while shooting a music video, "I Have My Youth" (我有我的Young). As a result, he was unable to attend some promotion for Fahrenheit's first album both in Taiwan and abroad. In 2007, he underwent a repeat surgery. He was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease with his bandmate Calvin Chen in year 2009. This disease was the same as 007's illness in Mysterious Incredible Terminator (霹雳MIT) which was acted by him in year 2008.
Music career[]
Yan was the second and youngest member to join Fahrenheit. He is the tenor vocalist of the group. His publicized temperature is that of cold Winter, at 41 F degrees. He also represents "Charming" (traditional Chinese: 迷; pinyin: mí). Yan also has his own solo which is in The X-Family Soundtrack; Yuan Yi Bu Ai Ni (Willing To Not Love You). He has also done a duet called Ti Amo with his junior, Liu Li Yang, which is featured on the Two-sided Fahrenheit album. In it Started With A Kiss and They Kiss Again he plays the roll of Ah Bu, boyfriend of Xiang Qin's best friend. His fellow bandmate Jiro Wang also stared in it.
Yan, together with the other three members of Fahrenheit, released their self-titled first album in September 15, 2006 and their second album, Two-sided Fahrenheit, on January 4, 2008. Fahrenheit's third album, Love You More and More, was released on January 2, 2009.
