[edit] Injury
Yan underwent knee surgery in 2006 due to an injury and was not able to attend a lot of the promotions for Fahrenheit's first album both in Taiwan and abroad. In 2007, he underwent another surgery when the old injury was acting up again. When the doctors discovered his ligament was torn again, he rapidly underwent a surgery. However, an anesthetic malfunction caused him to regain pain sensitivity during the surgery, this made him suffer greatly during the operation.
He discovered lately, that he might have to take another surgery and if he does, he may not be able to do sports.
[edit] Controversies
Because of his absence in many of Fahrenheit's promotions during the later half of 2006 for their first album, news about Fahrenheit leaving him behind thus continuing to be three member boyband and other disbandment news were the center of attention of the media and the concern of most fans. Nonetheless, it is confirmed that Yan will not be leaving Fahrenheit and the band has since expressed great unity and have built strong relationships with one another.
