Who are the "Four Heavenly Kings"?

The nickname “Four Heavenly Kings” (四大天王) refers to four hugely popular male entertainers in 1990s Hong Kong: Jacky Cheung (張學友), Andy Lau (劉德華), Aaron Kwok (郭富城) and Leon Lai (黎明). They rose to the top of Cantopop and Mandopop charts and became cinema superstars, dominating music, film, advertising and media during the decade.

Are they planning a reunion?

Andy Lau has publicly expressed interest in reuniting with his fellow Heavenly Kings for performances or special events, but a full reunion has not happened — reportedly because Jacky Cheung has shown less interest in joining such a project. The idea of the four performing together continues to spark fan excitement and media speculation.
