A singer recently showed an audience of 30,000 people more than he meant to. One of those concertgoers was his mom, who had no idea that his wardrobe malfunction wasn’t planned ahead of time.
Jam Hsiao is a Taiwanese singer and actor, who recently sang as a guest performer at Taipei Dome in Taiwan. The concert served as a sendoff to Lin Chih Sheng, a Taiwanese baseball star who retired from the sport this month.
Mid-concert, Jam Hsiao’s pants suddenly quit on him, splitting in the crotch while he was performing his hit song “Princess.” Suddenly, his bright red underwear was on display, but he didn’t panic — much.
After shouting, “Ah! My pants ripped!”, he soldiered on like the professional he is. Instead of going backstage to change after the song ended, he just tied his jacket around his waist and kept going.
Later, Jam’s wife and manager Summer Lin posted a behind-the-scenes photo of his torn pants on Instagram. The photo went viral, with some netizens noting that Jam’s red underwear just so happened to match the colors for Lin Chih Sheng’s team, the Wei Chuan Dragons.
After seeing her son’s mishap, Jam’s mother reportedly told her friends, it was a “perfectly timed stage effect,” not realizing that it was actually a perfectly timed accident.
