Zhang Ziyi was invited to throw the first pitch at a match of Korea Baseball Organization Season 2009 between Seoul LG Twins and Busan Lotte Giants at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul, South Korea, on August 14. When throwing the ball, a jubilant Zhang Ziyi unintentionally exposed the G-string she was wearing. The 30-year-old actress was the first Chinese to throw a first pitch at the KBO League. Link

Ziyi Zhang & Fiance Vivi Nevo
While beach photos of Zhang Ziyi and boyfriend Vivi Nevo on St. Barts island (photos) of Carribean did not make any waves from Western audience, they did have cause a fuss among Chinese viewers. Zhang Ziyi’s so-called sexy photo gate brought somewhat an embarrassment to Chinese authorities. Because on the day the government asked a list of websites (including Google, Baidu, Sina.com, and sohu.com etc.) to stop “disseminating” indecent and obsence pictures, Zhang’s compromising beach sunbathing pictures stormed vast numbers of Chinese sites, sparking a lot to tout Zhang as b*tch while others either supporting or simply taking a light heart at her. After reading quite some reports on Chinese mainstream media, to my very own point of view, Zhang Ziyi is gaining from this of very “unexpected” publicity stunt. Those reports portraited Zhang as a victim of invasion of privacy. They emphasized paparazzi of “trepassing” Vivi Nevo’s “private beach” and cited experts’ views which suggested Zhang to take legal action against photo agency that photographed her and those posted Zhang’s risque pics. Such circumstances would probably make Zhang accepted by more on the Chinese mainland, as a result, Zhang Ziyi’s ambadorship for those cosmetic products and charity organizations will not be affected.

Zhang Ziyi Beach Pictures! Beach photos of Zhang Ziyi and boyfriend Vivi Nevo vacationing at St Barth on the new year days are the most sought and most commented items currently in China and other areas (like Malaysia, Singapore) where Chinese is also spoken.
Since this afternoon, more than 1 million netizens probably saw them. Within the next 72 hours, the number should go past 10 million or even 100 million. Many of the comments were angry shouts by Chinese men. Even though they are somewhere else on the Internet, you can still imagine the masses of mouths and the millions of tongues wagging in anger.

Right after those of Zhang Ziyi beach bikini pics by X17online hit the internet, the 29-year-old Chinese actress was set to stir some controversies in a modern but still conservative Chinese society. We don’t want to elaborate anything on the issue, but you can go to AsiaOne.com to read what the big deal (in Chinese audience’s minds) of Zhang Ziyi’s compromising beach sunbathing photos (the pics posted here are very safe for watch).
Zhang Ziyi’s rep said her client’s privacy was invaded:
Ziyi and her fiance [Vivi Nevo] were vacationing on a private beach enjoying a normal part of life for the two of them. This is a matter of personal privacy. I sympathize with Ziyi and with all celebrities who have had their privacy invaded. It is difficult for them to enjoy vacations and even ordinary, everyday life. [Danwei]
