>No hugs and kisses from K-pop stars if fans don’t like it
South Korean Ambassador to Malaysia Cho Byungjae said that if Malaysian fans did not like hugs and kisses from K-pop stars, then such incident would not happen in the future. He was responding to an incident on Jan 10 where several tudung-clad girls were hugged and pecked by members of the popular South Korean band B1A4 during a performance here. He added that he hoped the incident would not affect the business ties of Malaysia and South Korea. His Excellency also said that the South Korean government had reminded, not only artistes but their businessman and the people that they ought to respect the culture and practise of foreign countries.
