Meet Selina Jen - singer, host, actress, burn victim and survivor.

The sweet-faced 31-year-old Taiwanese member of Mandopop girl group S.H.E has permanent scars on her arms, legs and back, the result of a horrific on-set explosion in Shanghai in October 2010 that left her with third-degree burns.

She had to overcome physical and mental trauma as she made a long and arduous recovery.

But judging from S.H.E's sold-out 2gether 4ever Concert on Saturday (July 20) at Kuala Lumpur's Putra Indoor Stadium, the Selina Jen of today is not ashamed of the scars that mark her body.

Like bandmates Hebe Tien, 30, and Ella Chen, 32, she pranced around the stage in sleeveless outfits and colourful off-shoulder dresses without drawing attention to the noticeable scars on her right arm.

In a video clip during her solo segment, Jen was filmed undergoing physiotherapy.

While it may have pained fans to see her scars on display, it was heartwarming to see her break into a smile at the end of the clip.

Emotions ran high when she took to the microphone to address the full-capacity 10,000-strong crowd after delivering her self-penned song Dream, which was released in December 2011 as part of her EP, Dream A New Dream.

As chants of "Selina, jia you! (Mandarin for you can do it) erupted around the stadium, Jen held back tears.

"Oh dear, why do all of you have to shout these words of encouragement?" she joked.

"I was feeling okay before this, now I think I'm going to cry."

The mood turned sombre as she recalled her darkest days.

"When I wrote Dream, my life had hit rock bottom. I was unable to enjoy happiness and most of the time, I'd just hug my husband (Taiwanese lawyer Richard Chang) and sob," said Jen.

"But look at me now, I can laugh and jump."

Then, her voice started to crack.

"And on my trip here, I finally managed to swim in the pool, like all of you. It's not a dream anymore."
