Several Islamic officials in Malaysia have cited concerns for Taeyang's upcoming concert, in light of a recent incident involving B1A4.

According to a report by The Malaysian Insider, 75% of tickets have been sold for the February 7 concert which will feature Big Bang's Taeyang. This is in spite of growing concerns by Islamic officials regarding K-pop concerts in Malaysia. The concert will be one of the first major K-pop events since B1A4's controversial concert in January.

The group Ikatan Muslim in Malaysia has requested cancellation of Taeyang's concert or postponement, until the incidents which happened at the B1A4 concert are fully addressed. Another group, the Malaysian Islamic Youth Association, has also spoken out against the way in which the previous K-pop concert was handled by officials.

The upcoming Taeyang concert will occur with some modifications, following B1A4's Malaysian concert. Female fans have been encouraged to look at their favorite idol but are urged not to touch him during the performance.

An event organizer spoke to The Malaysian Insider about the upcoming concert, under the condition of anonymity. “We have discussed with Taeyang and the dance crew on wearing the proper attire," according to the unnamed source. "There will also be no interactive sessions between fans and Taeyang.”

Like many male idols, the Big Bang vocalist is known for his shirtless performances and suggestive dance moves.

Several authorities expressed their optimism that event organizers will be mindful of Islamic law while performing concerts in Malaysia.

According to The Malaysian Insider, there will not be any specific actions taken to monitor the upcoming Taeyang concert.

In January 2015, B1A4 performed before audiences in Malaysia. During their concert, the group interacted with several young Muslim women who were wearing their religious headdress. This interaction involved fan engagement activities where the young women hugged and touched the members of B1A4.

B1A4's management group, WM Entertainment, as well as the event organizers, categorically stated that the young women who were on stage were counseled about the activity prior to the event.

The scandal began when a video featuring the girls and B1A4 was uploaded to the Internet with a title which translated to “Malay girls molested on stage by K-pop artists, last night.”

The incident was investigated under Shariah Criminal Offenses, allegedly leading Paimuzi Yahya to call for the arrest of the girls involved. He later repealed this request, in favor of counseling of the young women, who have yet to come forth.
