Jerry Yan, born Liao Yangzhen and also known as Yan Chengxu, is a Taiwanese actor and singer who rose to fame as a member of the iconic group F4. He gained widespread recognition for his role as Daoming Si in the hit Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden and its sequel, Meteor Garden II, which catapulted him to stardom across Asia.

Following the success of the series, Jerry continued performing with F4 alongside Vic Zhou, Vanness Wu, and Ken Chu, releasing three studio albums as a group. In addition to his work with F4, he built a successful solo career in both music and acting.
