    Artis K-Pop Dipuji Kerana Peka Akan Peminat Berhijab Di Malaysia

    KUALA LUMPUR: Seorang artis lelaki sebuah kumpulan K-pop dipuji para netizen di Malaysia kerana dianggap cukup peka menghormati sensitiviti masyarakat Islam.

    Ini setelah artis berkenaan, Jinyoung dari kumpulan GOT7, dilihat mengelak daripada bersentuhan dengan seorang peminat bertudung di sebuah acara di Kuala Lumpur.

    Video selama empat saat yang tersebar luas online itu menunjukkan peminat berhijab itu, yang dilihat begitu teruja mahu bertemu dengan Jinyoung, melambai-lambai ke arahnya dan cuba sama ada memberi ‘high-five’ atau bersalaman dengan bintang idola Korea itu.

    Bagaimanapun Jinyoung dilihat dengan pantas menarik tangannya agar mereka tidak bersentuhan.

    Menurut Astro Gempak, video tersebut dikongsi oleh kelab peminat IGOT7 Malaysia di laman Facebook dan Twitter sejak 5 Disember lalu.

     

    PEMINAT MALAYSIA BANGGA

    Ramai netizen yang kagum atas kepekaan Jinyoung hingga hashtag #jinyoung menjadi ‘trending’ selama dua hari berturut-turut di Twitter, lapor Astro Gempak.

    Seorang pengguna Twitter, @HeyCarl97, menulis: “Jinyoung trending kerana kelakuannya yang menghormati peminat Muslim. Saya bangga dengannya.”

    Video itu dirakamkan ketika sesi bertemu peminat digelar “Hello Session.”

    GOT7 berada di Malaysia untuk konsert jelajah GOT7 Flight Log Turbulence 2016 yang diadakan pada 4 Disember lalu.

    PERNAH PAKAI SARUNG TANGAN UNTUK BERSALAMAN

    Ini bukan kali pertama kumpulan GOT7 menarik perhatian atas atas apa yang dianggap adalah sikap mereka menghormati masyarakat Islam di Malaysia.

    Menurut Astro Gempak, kumpulan idola itu pernah memakai sarung tangan untuk bersalaman semasa sesi bertemu peminat di Malaysia pada Mac lalu untuk menghormati peminat Islam.

    Tahun lalu, kontroversi tercetus apabila sebuah video yang tersebar luas online menunjukkan beberapa gadis bertudung di Malaysia berpelukan dengan artis-artis lelaki kumpulan K-pop B1A4.

    Dalam video itu, artis-artis tersebut dilihat menyanyikan lagu kepada gadis-gadis bertudung tersebut di atas pentas dan memeluk mereka di sebuah konsert di Kuala Lumpur.

    Bahkan seorang artis lelaki mencium dahi salah seorang daripada mereka.

    Insiden itu dilaporkan menyebabkan Jabatan Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (JAWI) memberikan gadis-gadis itu tempoh selama seminggu untuk menyerah diri kepada pihak berkuasa atau diberkas.

  • Ustazah: Allah Gave Permission For Girls To Hug K-Pop Idols

    Ustazah: Allah Gave Permission For Girls To Hug K-Pop Idols

    KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 15 — The three Muslims girls who have been vilified for hugging K-pop stars during a concert last week actually had “Allah’s permission”, a Muslim religious teacher claimed.

    The young woman, who did not provide her name and was identified by some YouTube accounts as an “ustazah” or religious teacher, said that the three girls would have been stopped by God from going onstage if there was no divine permission.

    “They were onstage with Allah’s permission because in this life, Allah gives us one thing—that is choice. Allah gives us the choice. Allah gave us the choice whether we want to go or not, do something consciously or not,” the tudung-clad woman explained in a YouTube video that is 5:42 minutes long.

    “And they chose to go and Allah permitted them to go; they chose to stand up there and Allah permitted them to be onstage,” she added in the video carried by YouTube users like Pen Merah Dot Com and Siakap Keli.

    In the same video that surfaced yesterday, she also trained her guns on “keyboard warriors”, calling them out for their alleged holier-than-thou attitude and abusive words.

    “But behind Allah’s permission for this to become viral, Allah actually wants to test us who are so good in becoming keyboard warriors to abuse, to speak ill; as if you are all so good since you were born until now,” she said.

    She also pointed out that the three Muslim girls could end up being far better than their critics by learning from this incident, also saying that the girls and their families and friends were already suffering shame from this controversy.

    She said love should be shown to the three girls instead, and sounded exasperated when noting how Muslims and Malays have been squabbling online over this incident.

    The controversy erupted after a video of the meet-the-fans session here for K-pop band B1A4 on Saturday was uploaded online, prompting thousands of angry Facebook users to share and comment on a three-minute viral video of the artists hugging and embracing the tudung-clad Malay girls on stage.

    The clip, which was posted on the Sukan Star TV Facebook page, was suggestively titled “Perempuan melayu dicabul atas pentas oleh mat kpop semalam” (Malay girls molested on stage by K-Pop artists last night).

    But B1A4’s management firm WM Entertainment has since then denied claims that its artistes “molested” the three Malay girls, saying that they were mindful of local Muslim sensitivities and said the consent of the three had been obtained.

    The mini-concert’s organisers TGM Events have also denied the molest claim, pointing out that the event company was run mostly by women and were against “molestation or sexual harassment.”

    The organiser also said the fans were told beforehand not to “touch” or “get too close” to the B1A4 members, adding that the selected fans had given their full consent to appear on stage.

    On Monday, JAWI said it is investigating the girls for public indecency and outraging Muslims, and would probe the matter under Section 29 of Shariah Criminal Offences (Federal Territories) Act 1997.

    Section 29 of the Act allows for a fine of up to RM1,000 and imprisonment of no more than six months upon conviction.

    Yesterday, Utusan Malaysia reported that JAWI said it will apply for an arrest warrant if the Malay girls refuse to turn themselves in for investigation within a week, but the department’s official told Malay Mail Online that they may be spared prosecution and sent for rehabilitation instead if they are underage.

  • Three Tudung Clad Malay Girls Wanted By JAWI For Inappropriate Behaviour Involving K-Pop Band B1A4

    Three Tudung Clad Malay Girls Wanted By JAWI For Inappropriate Behaviour Involving K-Pop Band B1A4

    Local religious authorities have asked for the three tudung-clad Malay girls, who were seen behaving in an improper way on stage with a K-Pop band, to come forward over the controversy, The Star Online reported today.

    The three had been seen in a YouTube clip getting hugs and kisses from members of the K-Pop band B1A4 at a mini-concert held at the Live Centre in Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur on Saturday night.

    Federal Territory Islamic Religious Department (Jawi) said today that the three K-Pop fans will be able to assist in its investigations.

    The Star Online quoted Jawi director Paimuzi Yahya as saying that the actions of the women and band members went overboard, as it was against Islamic teachings and offended the sensitivities of the Muslim community.

    “The Jawi enforcement division has opened an investigation under Section 29 of the Syariah Criminal Offences ( Federal Territories ) Act 1977 (Act 599 Indecent Acts in Public Places.)

    “Those who are involved are asked to come forward to help in the investigation,” he said in a statement today.

    According to The Star Online, Paimuzi explained that the particular Act can be enforced against people who behave indecently and in contravention of Islamic law in a public place, and is punishable with fines of not more than RM1,000 or six months jail or both.

    The three-minute video clip of the B1A4 stars hugging and kissing the female fans on stage went viral on social media yesterday, drawing much criticism from viewers.

    The Star Online also reported that TGM Events, the organiser of the mini-concert have since expressed their regret over the incident and declared that the three Malay girls had willingly stepped onto the stage.
