During the live broadcast of Uuden musiikin kilpailu (UMK), an event focusing on new music, Erika Vikman found herself in a humorous situation where she had to apologize for what appeared to be an accidental exposure. The broadcast featured interviews with international guests, including Malta's representative from the previous year, Miriana Conte, and Denmark's representative, Sissal, hosted by Mikko Silvennoinen and Jaakko Oleander. The event was lively, showcasing emerging music talent, and fostering a spirit of camaraderie among artists.

Vikman, who is notable for representing Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest last year, was highlighted during the event when Sissal humorously praised her pink outfit. Sissal described encountering Vikman for the first time at UMK, expressing admiration for her style but also inadvertently touching on a more sensitive topic regarding her attire. This moment not only brought laughter to the audience but showcased the lighthearted nature of such competitions, where fashion and music intersect in vibrant performances.

Events like UMK not only promote new talent but also allow for cultural exchanges among participants from different countries. Through interactions and support, they bring together various artistic expressions, highlighting the shared connections within the music community. Vikman's unexpected moment has added an extra layer of charm to the ongoing festivities and conversations surrounding the competition.
