Taiwanese band “F.I.R.” became hugely popular with classics such as “Crescent Bay (月牙湾)”, “Lydia,” and “Millennial Love (千年之恋),” but later changed their lead vocalist, and now only the leader Ian Chen (陈建宁) remains. With the recent high-profile reconciliation between Ian Chen and former lead singer Faye (詹雯婷) after six years of legal disputes, many fans were hoping for a reunion and a return to their peak. However, on the 13th, Real Huang (Ah Qin, 阿沁) unexpectedly announced on social media that he is "officially stepping down as a singer,” indirectly signaling that an F.I.R. reunion is now impossible!
45-year-old Ah Qin posted without warning that he is about to “retire” and officially step down from his identity as a singer to become a full-time dad and music teacher. He wrote: “Approaching the age of 50, this is a major decision for my children and my family. As a ‘singer,’ I probably don’t need to announce my retirement formally, but ‘lyricist and composer, music producer, and educator’ have already been my true labels for nearly a decade.”
He said he often struggled between “accompanying family” and “chasing career dreams,” and has long looked forward to spending weekends with his daughters playing piano, singing, drumming, and composing together: “This beautiful and romantic scene will begin to materialize in 2026.” He is turning the stage toward a life of happiness and freedom. In the future, he will become a music teacher, serving as a mentor to young musicians, or occasionally release songs that are worth preserving, occasionally take the stage to joyfully sing a few old hits of his own, organize charity concerts, and participate in public welfare education—also indirectly signaling that the possibility of an F.I.R. reunion is officially over.
