Selina Ren of the popular girl band S.H.E was seriously injured last Friday, October 22, 2010, on the set of her new drama "I Have a Date with Spring". She and co-star Yu Haoming were shooting an explosion scene in Shanghai.
According to HIM Records executive Derek Shih, the explosives went off early during a scene which resulted in the accident. They rehearsed 6 to 7 times prior to filming without any problems. Selina is suffering from 3rd degree burns on her arms, legs and back which will require skin grafts.
HIM Records general manager Linda He shares the latest developments with the media.
"The doctors have told us Selina's conditions are now stable. She is clear-minded, and she can take in a small amount of food."
Selina's father, meantime, has thanked everyone, from the doctors, to Selina's managers and colleagues at the record company, to all the fans who have sent her best wishes.
"It's going to be a long road ahead. I believe with family and friends' love and support, Selina will be able to recover smoothly. I'd like to thank everyone again. I hope you stay safe. Thank all of you."
Various reports suggest that while filming, Yu noticed something wrong and tried to shield Selina from the accident. He was said to have suffered even more serious burns as a result.
Yu is still in the ICU.
