Pop star seriously injured in stunt

TAIWANESE pop star Selina Jen sustained severe burns when a stunt went wrong during filming of a TV series being shot in Shanghai, her father said.

The 28-year-old actress was flown back to Taiwan late Sunday for medical treatment on burns to her hips and thighs following the accident on the set of the drama "I Have a Date with Spring," her father Jen Ming-ting told local reporters.

She was in stable condition, but will have to undergo skin graft surgery at Taipei's Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, he said.

Selina Jen is a member of Taiwan's popular pop group S.H.E and has also appeared in a number of television drama series.

Taiwanese media said Jen suffered third-degree burns on up to 40 percent of her body, while her mainland co-star Yu Haoming was also seriously burned.

During Friday's filming, a series of five explosions was supposed to be set off in sequence to allow Jen and Yu enough time to escape from a burning house, but the explosions took place together, Taiwanese reports said.
