A decade after its premiere, the cast of the popular Taiwanese youth drama "The Teen Age" (้ฃ›้ญš้ซ˜ๆ ก็”Ÿ) reunited for a special fan meeting titled "Ten Years Together." This marks a historic first in Taiwan, with a drama's main cast coming together ten years post-broadcast for such an event. The gathering brought together eight key actors: Cheng Hsi, Song Wei-en, Tu Shan-tsun, Huang Hung-hsuan, Chang Lo-tai, Kuan Lin, Lai Tung-hsien, and Lin Mu-yen.

You all haven't changed at all in ten years, still so energetic and ageless.

The reunion was met with enthusiastic cheers from fans, who felt transported back in time. The eight actors delivered a heartfelt performance, opening the event with the drama's theme song, "Handsome to Break Up." They also presented individual performances representing their characters' teams, the Flying Fish and Marlin teams. Donning specially made high school uniforms, they recreated a youthful image and energetically performed classic hits like BIGBANG's "Good Boy" and "BANG BANG BANG," along with more recent K-pop tracks like ATEEZ's "BAD" and "Catch Catch," showcasing their dynamic stage presence.

First, I hope my mother is still healthy and by my side in 29 years; second, I wish all the actors in 'The Teen Age' remain happy and enjoy life in their respective fields.

Adding to the excitement, "The Teen Age's" former coach, actor Christopher Wang, sent a congratulatory video message. Actress Megan Lai, who played the "school flower teacher," made a surprise appearance with a cake to celebrate actor Huang Hung-hsuan's 29th birthday. Lai remarked on the cast's enduring youthful energy, stating, "You all haven't changed at all in ten years, still so energetic and ageless."

To earn 10 billion.

During the celebration, Huang Hung-hsuan shared three wishes: for his mother's continued health, for his fellow cast members' happiness in their careers, and humorously, to earn "10 billion" (NT$100 billion). The event culminated in a deeply moving moment as the eight actors debuted a commemorative single, "Still the Same as the Beginning," written and composed by Huang Hung-hsuan. Performing shoulder-to-shoulder, they sang lyrics about time passing while their core selves remain, reflecting their decade-long journey and mutual support, bringing many fans to tears.

Time takes away youthful madness, I am still the same as the beginning.
