Everyone please read what Fen's childhood friend has to say about him‼️
No matter what anyone says or feel about him, it doesn't change the fact that he's always been a wonderful person and still is
"His name is Xu Fengfan (許豊凡)."
Fen's childhood friend wrote a heartfelt message about him on Threads, and shared more about his pre-Produce days + convictions.
I used KWさん's CN->JP translation to do an EN translation. Ended up in tears... I hope everyone can read this 💜

I asked Fengfan where he recommends visiting in Fukuoka and he said a ramen restaurant called Issou‼️
He even went out of his way to write down the restaurant's name in kanji on a piece of paper and showed it to me 🥺🥹
HE WAS SO KIND 😭😭

・N1 Japanese Proficiency
・TOPIK Level 5
He did all of that and he looks like this 😌💅
Fengfan talking about how he was at ZB1's fancon and that he had a lot of fun. He likes Yura Yura and thinks it's really cute. The performance was amazing and cute
OP: Is there a birthday moment (you can share)?
Fengfan: On the 12th at midnight (Fengfan's birthday), since I was in Korea, I was with Daigo and Anthonny
One thing about Fengfan is that he really doesn’t like dirty jokes and here we can finally see his reaction to one
Look at how fast his expression changes as soon as the comedians in front of them makes one
Yudai (about Fengfan): Lately it seems like he's been getting involved with me and Takumi a lot. When I suddenly notice him, he's right next to me, touching my hands or thighs where the camera can't see, or holding my hand

Fengfan never took a break from school while participating in PD101. He was turning in assignments after practice. Since the contestants weren't allowed to use the internet, he had to be supervised by staff everytime he was doing homework on his computer

Masaya and Fengfan sharing a snippet of their Hakone hot springs trip in January
TLDR they bought chips to eat while watching a movie but Fengfan ate them all within 10 minutes
The first place FanTaji visited is a vegan restaurant called Alchemy. They run into an English speaker but never fear Fengfan is here!
...by that I mean here's Fengfan speaking English with the restaurant's founder
In Fengfan's latest member diary he wrote about experiencing microaggressions & how stereotypes are in our lives like invisible frames
We might unknowingly try to fit others into one or even fit in someone else's but he encourages everyone to break it and to "Go beyond THE FRAME"
FanTaji talking about watching childhood videos* of each other
💚 I used to play drums
💜 I've seen old videos of that... of Shogo playing drums
💚 Eh Where did you watch?!
💚 Fengfan being a conductor... I've seen a video of that
💜 Eh! Why~?!
💚 Maybe you showed it to me
*⬇️
💜 You know Shogo you're the one I spend time with most so I'm happy we can do things like this together
💚 Yeah there's not a lot of people to do this with Let's try our best
💜 Won't this deepen our relationship?
💚 No definitely! Because we're sharing this deathbed together
Fengfan's pinned comment of his On My Shoulder cover:
"There are times when we end up carrying too much. Even when it gets heavy and suffocating or feels like it's about to explode somewhere, I want to help share even a little of the burdens you're carrying"

NHK Music Line
JO1’s Ren 🦊 and Syoya 🐰 talking about hanging out with Fengfan on New Year’s . Fengfan also talked about it on this same radio show in February with Taji.
INI were asked about the significance of the numbers on their jerseys on FTC Kanagawa Day 2 and Fengfan said his is 12 because 11 (INI) + 1 (MINI) = 12
I couldn’t find it so I simply remade it
Anyways all of this was to say that Fengfan applied for a part time job at “a cafe that everyone knows” after 1 year of living in Japan and he prepared for the interview by studying Japanese business terms
does anyone have that starbucks worker fengfan video with ghibli music playing in the background?
the tiktok uploader deleted their account and so did the twitter reuploader 😭😭
Taji stealing food and Fengfan casually catching him and asking him if it tasted good and Taji being surprised he was caught but still answers honestly
Warmly domestic FanTaji 💚💜

"There was always FanTaji throughout the final greeting segment. Fengfan grabbing Taji's neck, Taji wrapping his arm around Fen's waist, and them holding each others' hands when they didn't need to"
Fengfan has said that he and Taji went to the same hair salon and had the same hair stylist before PD101. Turns out that hair stylist actually voted and asked others to support FanTaji when PD101s2 was airing and made congratulatory posts for them
Fengfan:
The 2 years starting from my 2nd year of high school where I had quit using my phone to study for exams was tough. I got into a uni in Japan and stayed in a dorm but had to leave after 1 year

Fengfan was walking to the public baths around midnight with his headphones on and Yudai came up to him from behind and scared him and even recorded his reaction
[ENG SUB] the members wrote anonymous messages to each other and they all read out 1 message they received to find out who wrote it
FanTaji chose each others
💚→ 💜 "Make your body more flexible"
💜→ 💚 "I don't understand you but I'll accept you no matter what"
241015 FTC Fukuoka Day 1
Fengfan was so smol and babygirl 😭
I got an aisle seat and was planning to shout FENGFAN KAMI (god) when he passed by but when he actually did it all I could shout was FENGFAN FENGFAN FENGFAN when I saw him 😭😭
Fengfan MINIs who came to his offline included a wide variety of ages and gender, OP says she saw girls in kindergarten, boys and girls in elementary school, and men among the Fengfan fans
Fengfan and Taji went to both days of Taylor Swift's concert. The first day was just the two of them. They went together with Rihito and Hiromu on the second day
In today's mail Fengfan revealed that until recently, his visa was only good for 6 months at a time so he had to frequently renew
Now finally after 3 years, he only needs to renew it once a year which is a huge relief for him and makes it easier for him to do activities 🥹🥹🥹
