Recently, The Rakyat Post and other Malaysian media outlets picked up on a viral video of B1A4 members hugging and doing fan service in the form of skin ship with Malay girls, who were garbed in tudung.
While both the boys and girls appear to be having a fun, harmless time, their interactions were publicized via video by Sukan Star TV with the title saying they were molested on stage by K-Pop artists. While many people agreed with ferocity, criticizing the girls for their "lack of faith" or even telling them they might as well remove their headscarves and all their clothes, there were a few others who defended the interactions, saying that the girls might not have reached puberty, which would not make their actions sinful, or they had been forced to wear the tudung. Some also defended B1A4, saying that the boys probably were not familiar with the culture at the time.
There were also mixed responses, saying the boys were innocent, but the girls were not, and many more. One person wrote, "We can't blame the Koreans they don't understand Islam laws. But blame the girl do not blame Islam for this," and another, "The title is so misleading! Certainly the girls wasn't being molested. These kpop stars do the same thing in each fan meetings, they just want to show appreciations towards their fans. So we couldn't really blame them because they wouldn't have know the culture and religion in our country. Still, to use the word 'dicabuli' is quite harsh, don't you think so?"
