Taiwanese singer Jeff Chang and Hong Kong singer G.E.M. encountered a funny situation during their recent concerts in two different cities in mainland China, as they were both unexpectedly “attacked” by bugs. Despite their different reactions, both incidents left their fans in stitches.
On the evening of June 3rd, during his concert in Yantai, Shandong Province, Jeff Chang was performing “Come Back” when a mosquito flew into his mouth. He didn’t notice it at first and ended up swallowing it. He coughed a few times and then calmly finished the song. He then apologized to the audience, saying, “Sorry, a mosquito just flew into my mouth, but it’s okay, just consider it a vitamin boost!”
To lighten the mood, Jeff Chang shared a humorous anecdote about a similar incident at a concert in Jinan, Shandong Province last year when he also accidentally swallowed a bug while singing “Love Doesn’t Stay.” Facing two bug encounters in Shandong, Jeff Chang jokingly said, “I have to thank Shandong for providing me with extra protein, that’s why I have good stamina!” His humor had the audience bursting into laughter.
Similarly, on the 2nd of June, during her concert in Chengdu, G.E.M. also faced a bug invasion, leading to a hilarious impromptu performance that had the whole venue laughing.
As G.E.M. was fully immersed in playing the piano and singing, a bug unexpectedly appeared and landed on the piano keys. Startled, G.E.M.’s expression changed instantly as she moved back and exclaimed, “Oh My God! There’s a big bug, what should I do!”
Carefully removing the microphone from its stand, she exclaimed, “I need to escape! Wait, I can’t do this! I’m so scared! (The bug) is huge! Someone help me!” Her playful banter and exaggerated gestures turned the tense moment into a spontaneous comedic act.
The crew quickly removed the bug, and G.E.M., still slightly shaken, sat back at the piano and said, “This is the first time in our ‘I AM GLORIA’ concert series that I’ve been scared away by a bug.” After calming down, she jokingly added, “Do you know how scared I am of bugs? Although it’s actually just this big, maybe the bug wanted to listen to me sing, right?” Her lighthearted response also brought her closer to her fans.
