Selina Jen of popular Taiwanese girlband S.H.E has been rushed to a hospital in Taiwan for treatment after she was severely burnt during a filming accident in Shanghai.
The 28-year-old singer was admitted into the Linkou branch of the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taipei County late on Sunday night. She was accompanied by both her father and 39-year-old fiancée, lawyer Richard Chang.
Last Friday, Jen and her Chinese co-star, Yu Haoming, 22, were badly burned when a series of planned explosions went horribly wrong during the filming of her music drama “I Have a Date with Spring”.
Selina Jen transported to a hospital in Taiwan.
It is reported that the pop-singer suffered 40 percent burns, including those on her back, hands and legs. She was previously hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Ruijin Hospital in Shanghai. Her father said that the singer will require skin transplant surgery and recuperation.
Yu himself is said to have suffered from third-degree burns and is more seriously injured than Jen. The 1.8m-tall singer-actor, who finished sixth in China reality talent show “Superboy” in 2007, has burns on his back, hands and legs as well.
While it is understood that the actors were shooting an explosion scene after several successful trials, this time, the dynamite exploded sooner than expected.
Yu Haoming (right) got even more badly burned when he tried to shield Selina from the accident.
According to China’s Sina website, a technician botched the timing of the explosions near the exit of a disused factory where they were filming. As a result, the actors were caught unprepared as they were leaving the building.
Yu was also hailed by the Chinese press for his heroics as it is believed he shielded his co-star by hugging her when the explosion happened. This saved Selina from sustaining facial injuries.
