[edit] Biography
Wu Geng Lin Aaron (simplified Chinese: 吴庚霖; traditional Chinese: 吳庚霖; pinyin: Wú Gēnglín) was born on November 20, 1985 in Taiwan.
At a young age, his family moved to New York, U.S., where he stayed for his primary school education for about five years. He then moved back to Taiwan for further education.
He can speak and understand Mandarin, Taiwanese, English and limited Japanese and Cantonese. He was a sophomore at Chinese Culture University, majoring in Journalism and News Broadcasting. However, because his career had greatly affected his academics and learning environment, he transferred to Jin Wen University of Science and Technology, majoring in English.

Originally, Aaron was supposed to star in 翻滾吧!蛋炒飯 / Rolling Love along with fellow bandmate Jiro Wang, but he took the lead role in another drama, 霹靂MIT / Pi Li MIT / Mysterious Incredible Terminator, when the opportunity arose. Aaron starred with his fellow bandmates in KO One, The X-Family, and their cameo appearance in K.O.3an Guo. He also starred in It Started With A Kiss and They Kiss Again as Ah Bu, along with his fellow bandmate Jiro Wang.
After filming the Mysterious Incredible Terminator, Aaron and his co-star Gui Gui signed a contract to do another drama together called Tao Hua Ai Wu Di based on Japan's best selling manga Momo Love. Filming for this drama has begun but was cancelled when Aaron had another opportunity to star in Love Buffet. He wanted to do both dramas, but the company only wanted him to do one. The company picked Love Buffet.
[edit] Music career
Yan was the second and youngest member to join Fahrenheit. He is the tenor vocalist of the group. His publicized temperature is that of cold Winter, at 41 F degrees. He also represents "Charming" (traditional Chinese: 迷; pinyin: mí). Yan also has his own solo which is in The X-Family Soundtrack; Yuan Yi Bu Ai Ni (Willing To Not Love You). He has also done a duet called Ti Amo with his junior, Liu Li Yang, which is featured on the Two-sided Fahrenheit album. In it Started With A Kiss and They Kiss Again he plays the roll of Ah Bu, boyfriend of Xiang Qin's best friend. His fellow bandmate Jiro Wang also stared in it.
Yan, together with the other three members of Fahrenheit, released their self-titled first album in September 15, 2006 and their second album, Two-sided Fahrenheit, on January 4, 2008. Fahrenheit's third album, Love You More and More, was released on January 2, 2009.
They have also contributed to television soundtracks such as KO One, Tokyo Juliet, Hanazakarino Kimitachihe, The X-Family, Romantic Princess, Rolling Love and Mysterious Incredible Terminator. In 2008, Fahrenheit organizes their first Fahrenheit tour, where they go all over the world for their first ever concert.
He signs his name not as "Aaron", but "Arron." This is often confusing to new fans.
[edit] Injury
Yan underwent knee surgery in 2006 due to an injury while shooting a music video. As a result, he was unable to attend some promotion for Fahrenheit's first album both in Taiwan and abroad. In 2007, he underwent a repeat surgery.
