Character notes
Like the fathers of the other F4 members, Hanazawa has been mentioned on a few occasions but has never appeared.
In the anime, he is also mentioned as being strict with his son. Rui is said to have become "withdrawn" because of his father.[4]
Lei's (Rui) father is briefly mentioned a few times in Meteor Garden (2001). Like in the manga, he is the head of a wealthy company as well as being on the schoolboard for Ying De Academy. His company later faces a crisis and Lei comes to Japan to assist him.
He is portrayed by an unidentified actor in a photograph in Boys Over Flowers (2009). In the drama, he and his wife were killed in a car accident when Yoon Ji-hoo (Rui) was five.
Ren's (Rui) father is played by an unknown actor in the first and ninth episodes of F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers (2021). In this version, he and his wife are the heads of Thailand's top hospital and likely doctors themselves. They are seen later on paying respects at Pakorn's funeral.
