At the Guangzhou 20-10 elimination round of the Super Girl contest on July 22, the contestant Sun Yixin pulled up her skirt to expose her white underpants, and this action raised a storm.

Many classify it as a mean media hype, which would cast a shadow over the popular TV show's positive reputation.

Sun Yixin's explanation was that she was originally scheduled to appear in white leather shorts but the director made her wear a camouflage skirt on the outside.

Unfortunately, this created the wrong impression that she was yanking up her skirt to display her white underwear.

Now she risks being PK'd by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) as a campaign of "Screen Purification" has long been trumpeted.
