爱就宅一起 ratings in Singapore beats Wu Chun

Jiro Wang and Wu Chun are fighting again for top male position in Fahrenheit!


Jiro's new drama [爱就宅一起] has yet to show brilliant in Taiwan's ratings but it has been widely supported overseas. Especially since it has been airing in Singapore lately, ratings even beat Wu Chun's [Hana Kimi]. Jiro has been dominating significantly.
Wu Chun temporarily resting from acting projects. Fahrenheit has left no stone unturned, achieving popularity in Taiwan, Hong Kong, South-East Asia, Japan and Korea. Within the quartet, Wu Chun was the first to "fly solo" by choosing to be lead of an idol drama while Jiro Wang followed later on. [Rolling Love] and [ToGetHer] were both dramas that the company had tailor-made for him while after filming movie [Butterfly Lovers] and being busy with Fahrenheit concerts, Wu Chun is still choosing scripts and he has temporarily stopped accepting acting projects.


At the end of last month, they personally went to promote in Singapore and sure enough, it was effective. When it aired on Singapore's Channel U, ratings reached 7.7. This timeslot has aired Taiwanese variety shows [Entertainment Big Brother] 綜藝大哥大 and [Jacky Go Go Go] but none have reached this result and it even beat Wu Chun's [Hana Kimi]'s record of 5.9, creating a new ratings record for idol dramas airing in Singapore.


Calculating in accordance with Singapore's population, [爱就宅一起] has attracted 290,000 viewers. Jiro Wang's idol charm has beaten Entertainment Big Brother Zhang Fei and Jacky Wu. Moreover, [爱就宅一起] will soon air in Brunei, snatching top male in South-East Asia Wu Chun's territory!
Hearing about drama's ratings, Jiro was very happy but being accused of snatching Wu Chun's territory, he said jokingly, "We're all one family, snatching territory doesn't mater! Moreover, he wants to invite Rainie Yang to Brunei for a trip and when the time comes, they can even ask Wu Chun to be their tour guide! And to everyone living in Singapore, please keep watching ToGetHer on Channel U so ratings will get even higher. Channel U is co-operating with GTV, not CTV so the version aired is the UNCUT one. So I highly recommend all Singaporeans to watch it so the cast can see how much support they're getting overseas.One more thing, can we please try and refrain from comparing Jiro and Chun? The media always likes to compare the members of Fahrenheit but I think the most important thing here is to celebrate the success of 爱就宅一起. Thankyou
