Taiwan boy band F4 will release a new combined album, "Waiting for You," on December 28.

Web site sohu.com reported that the move, five years after their last album, is a show of support for Taiwan tourism.

The four members of F4, Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Ken Chu and Vanness Wu, were invited to act as spokesmen for Taiwan tourism and to sing the theme song for the tourism TV play "Finding Love Here".

The play, starring Ken Chu and Vic Zhou, will be broadcast in Japan and South Korea to promote Taiwan tourism. Vanness Wu will also appear in the play as a guest actor.

Unlike other bands, the members of F4 have mostly worked individually since the band was formed in 2001, thanks to the Taiwan version of the TV drama "Meteor Garden".

The new album includes two choruses and two solos by each member.
