She cried when she heard video got on the Net



SHE showed her courage when she performed a flying stunt in the name of charity.

But to Hong Kong singer Yumiko Cheng's embarrassment, she accidentally showed more than that when the stunt went wrong.

She accidentally flashed her underwear to viewers when performing a flying stunt with celebrities such as Chin Ka Lok and Kenny Wong at the live televised Tung Wah Charity show last Saturday.

What's worse, over 20 video clips of the incident have been uploaded onto Internet website YouTube and have drawn over 250,000 viewers, reported Ming Pao Daily News today.

Clad in a skin-tight tank top and gold-coloured pants, Yumiko, 26, looked composed on the elevated platform as she readied herself to be swung through the air by Kenny to Ka Lok. This was her second try after the first one failed when she lost her shoes during the stunt.

At first, it went according to plan when Kenny grabbed her off the platform by her hands and swung her to and fro twice.



But then it went awry when Ka Lok caught hold of Yumiko by her pants.


FRANTIC


The front button on her pants reportedly came off and the pants came off, revealing her sexy, black underwear.

Seeing this, Ka Lok dropped Yumiko into the safety net below, where she frantically tried to pull her pants up.

At this point, one of the show's comperes said on camera: 'That was a really committed performance. Please make more calls to donate money!'

Immediately after the stunt, Yumiko left the stage with her co-performers and hurried to the backstage, where she reportedly burst into tears.

She then left the studio with her manager and went home. But she later returned to the show where she spoke about the incident.

At a press conference after the show, she said: 'I've received many calls from friends, offering me support. I told them not to worry about me.

'It was an accident, no one was to blame.'



Ka Lok, who sat next to the sweetie-pie singer at the press conference, assured her that he would gladly become her boyfriend if she is worried that she might not get attached following the accidental exposure.

But Oriental Daily reported that Yumiko, who was feeling better yesterday, cried again and had to postpone work commitments when she found out about the YouTube video clips of her exposure.

But something good did come out of this as some donors - touched by Yumiko's show of courage - made a HK$100,000 ($20,000) donation in her name to the show.

This helped the organisers to exceed the initial target of HK$650,000.
