Taiwanese group S.H.E. member Selina Jen jokingly compared herself to Rihanna as she recalled her reaction when she saw her first photo of the injuries she suffered while filming a musical drama in 2010.

It will be recalled that the 32-year old singer was involved in an accident while filming the musical drama, “I Have a Date with Spring.” She was caught in an accidental explosion which left her with third degree burns in more than half of her body. The incident also resulted in three-month stay at the hospital to recover from the injuries.

Jen found herself crying in front of the audience during her recent appearance at CCTV’s “Kai Jiang Lang.” A segment of the television program was a tribute to her survival, showing images of her injuries. This is the first time in four years that the public had a glimpse of the pain Jen was going through recovering from the incident.

Despite the human wall created by approximately 100 members of audience, Jen could not help but get emotional as she viewed the photos with the audience. She broke down at the sight of her injuries. But Xin MSN Entertainment noted that Jen also cried as she was both “moved and nervous.”

“This is all worth it. I hope that my experience of pain and recovery can encourage burn victims who are still struggling; I want to tell them that as long as they’re alive, there is hope; as long as they’re alive, they shouldn’t give up,” Xin MSN Entertainment quoted Jen as saying.

Jen got more emotional as she paid tribute to her father, whom she admitted having treated unfairly during the whole ordeal. She said she blamed her father for not trying to stop her from participating in the film.

“I feel that I was very unfilial during that time. I vented all my negative emotions on him, blaming him for not stopping me from filming the movie," she said.

The singer also thanked her father for all his support.

“He has always been supporting me by my side; I am very thankful towards him,” the S.H.E. member said.

But it was not all tears for Jen. In between tears, the singer managed to crack a joke, pointing out how she felt like when she saw the photo of herself in 2010.

Jen quipped, “After I was injured from the explosion and was brought to the car, I got my assistant to take a photo of me. When I saw the photo, I felt that I really looked like Rihanna.”
