5566 to Dissolve, New Faces to Take Over
Channel NewsAsia - Tuesday, January 6
According to recent reports, Taiwanese boy band 5566, might be disbanding when their contract ends. Artiste manager, Sun Derong is said to be looking for their successors too. Sun is quick to clarify that talent shows has nothing to do with rumors of 5566 disbandment.
Participating in the New Year's countdown party once again after a lapse of three years, 5566 could really be breaking up. Rio Peng retired from the band years back after sustaining back injury during a variety show. Zax Wang is married with kids now and has shifted his focus to theatrical dramas and TV hosting; Tony Sun is seen in more Taiwanese drama series these days; Jason Hsu is suffering the repercussions (of bad image) after injuring a reporter, and is said to be considering overseas studies so as to defer his national service; Sam Wang might be shifting his career into the bread making business to fulfill his dream.
For almost half a year, 5566 failed to appear in full strength at any event. It was the first time after three years that the band came together for a New Year's countdown party, as performing guest during the Taitung countdown party to 2009.
China Times Weekly reported that the members have been receiving criticisms, after rumors of their disbandment came about; that they are ungrateful to have forgotten how Sun groomed them to become the stars they are today. Sun comments that he has not taken things to heart and is currently training a new batch of artistes whom he will introduce, once the economy recovers.
