After a long wait of 15 years, the beloved Taiwanese boy band Lollipop F reunited for a spectacular performance at the 20th KKBOX Music Awards on April 19, 2025, held at the Kaohsiung Arena. The event was a nostalgic journey for fans, as the group, which gained fame from the show "I Love Lollipop," took the stage to perform a medley of their classic hits, igniting emotions and memories among the audience.

The performance kicked off with an electrifying atmosphere as the six members—Hsiao Man, William, Awodog, Hsiao Chieh, Ah Wei, and Prince—delivered a powerful rendition of songs like "我是傳奇" (I Am a Legend), "電司" (Electricity), "那不是雪中紅" (That Is Not Snow Red), and "七彩棒棒堂" (Colorful Lollipop). Fans were visibly moved, with many shedding tears as the group expressed their gratitude for the enduring support from their audience.

"We are here to relive those memories and bring back the passion we shared 20 years ago," Prince remarked, emphasizing the group's desire to reconnect with their fans. The sentiment was echoed by Ah Wei, who stated, "If fans are willing to accompany us to relive our youth, we will strive to fulfill the dreams we didn't achieve back then. We have ideas and plans for new songs and concerts, and we are ready to make them happen."

During the performance, Hsiao Man showcased his impressive physique, shedding his shirt to reveal his muscular build, much to the delight of the audience. He jokingly said, "With limited performance time, I can only show off my body to give back to the fans!" Meanwhile, William, who had lost 6 kilograms in preparation for the show, humorously noted, "I've done my best!"

Ah Wei, known for his exceptional dance skills, wowed the crowd with his signature 'big windmill' dance move, while Awodog reflected on the challenges of performing after so many years. "The last time we sang and danced together was in 2010, 15 years ago. Finally, we have this moment together again," he said, visibly emotional.

The performance was not just a showcase of their musical talents; it was a heartfelt reunion that resonated deeply with fans. Many expressed their excitement and nostalgia on social media, highlighting how much they had missed seeing the band together. The event was broadcast live on various platforms, allowing fans who couldn't attend in person to share in the experience.

As the concert concluded, the members shared their aspirations for the future. Hsiao Chieh revealed that they are planning to release a new single next week, and the group is in discussions for a potential concert to celebrate their 20th anniversary next year. "We hope to create new milestones together," he added enthusiastically.

Awodog, who is also planning to welcome a child this year, shared his excitement about starting a family while balancing his career. He expressed a desire to learn from the other members who are already parents, saying, "I want to know their secrets to parenthood!"

The night was filled with laughter and camaraderie, with the group sharing light-hearted moments on stage. William, known for his humor, made the audience laugh when he accidentally revealed that he had forgotten to zip his pants, prompting playful teasing from his bandmates.

Reflecting on their journey, the members acknowledged the physical challenges of performing after years apart. Ah Wei humorously noted, "I used to do the big windmill moves without warming up, but now just two throws make my wrist hurt!" He also mentioned that he had to practice intensively for a month to prepare for the performance, showcasing his commitment to delivering a memorable show.
