Pop singer G.E.M. (鄧紫棋) went on
Facebook to greet her fans via live video, where she was seen riding a
open-top double-decker bus with her staff on Nathan Road. In her series
of live videos, she greeted the fans happily and briefly introduced Hong
Kong, exclaiming that the city is known for its night view. G.E.M.
later disclosed that she was doing a photobook shoot at the time, and
did not return home until after midnight.
G.E.M. was very excited in the videos,
jumping around and having fun. However, things took an interesting turn
when a photo from the scene, taken from a mobile phone by a staff,
surfaced online, which showed G.E.M. with her legs spread opened.
Although the picture was censored, a netizen claimed that G.E.M. had
accidentally revealed her undies in the photo. And, as expected from the
Hong Kong media, the photo made headline news in Hong Kong.
The photo became a hot topic of gossip
online. Many netizens warned G.E.M. to be more careful when sharing
pictures, and a few fans said the photo shouldn’t have been posted in
the first place.
But that wasn’t the only G.E.M.-related
activity that made the news. The singer-songwriter later went to Mongkok
for a fun photoshoot, and G.E.M.’s interesting outfit—blonde wig, crazy
neon lights, etc.—became a hot topic online as well. G.E.M. joked that
she looked like a neon goldfish.
