White skin color was the symbol of richness and high social class in East Asia because common people had to work for a long time in the field and most of them had tanned skin. So, it's common thing to prefer white skin color in Asian countries which found agriculture main national industry and it's traditional standard of beauty. And it's sure that Asians tend to prefer big eyes but it's just another standard of beauty Asians like. There are many people preferring small eyes. So, it's a little bit difficult to generalize the standards of beauty.
Fair skin may be a cultural construct, but things like big eyes, small face, small nose, are all signals that denote youth and is desirable among all human females. Likewise things like small waist, big hips, ample breasts denote fertility, and clear skin, clear eyes, and lean body denote health. These are all things that are biologically ingrained and universal standards of beauty.
@@kevinnguyen8631 Indonesians have big eyes too, but they still think big eyes are more beautiful. Filipinos like what is less common, so light skin and small eyes are considered more beautiful
It's totally true baby. If u have white skin, ppl will call you beautiful :) it applied in my hometown. So many girls use whitening product. They dont care if the product contain mercury. As long as they have white skin, they will do anything lol
Exactly. So many cultures & ppl r quite open & tolerant, BUT if we're talking bout POPULAR CULTURE it's mostly influenced by only a FEW big cities in d country. & Our systems (education, economy) & the entertainment industry is very centralized.
I think it's also because of the singularity of the interviewee. I'm sure there is a more of the beauty standard somehow. For example clear skin and hourglass or thin body as said in the vid.
I not really agree with you, i mean majority indonesia wearing hijab ,and i mean for have standar beauty for a country you must see opinion majority people in that country,i know in indonesia also have people not wearing hijab,but they are still less ,It's like voting and which one gets the most votes is the reference
yes. the questions were not structured very well and they gave different questions to different interviewees. so that's why the interviewees have different answers.
Too many different answer,😂 Its mean that Indonesian doesnt have specific ideal beauty. It just people's standart. Objective and Subjective. And the important thing is good Character. 👍
each different province in Indonesia has vast different culture and mindset. Sometime it so different as if they are from another continent to each other.
Because most of Indonesians are family oriented, so naturally they can be attracted (as first factor) by people who have good characters like caring, humble, kind, mindful, loving kids, etc.
@@kurnie17 lol not really, in my city (i am live in Lombok), most man and woman I know always said they prefer humble, smart, religious, and romantic man or female than pretty or handsome one. Their reason? Because when they married what they want is the characteristic than their body. There also some people want handsome and beautifull patner but from what I saw most of the people I know prefer their character than face. (sorry with my english haha 😁).
As an indonesian i’m brave enough to say that most of the people here cares about the appearances too much. I don’t know exactly about other countries but in Indonesia having a fair skin, slim face, big eyes, tall nose and pigmented lips are basically all you need to be accepted as a “beautiful” person. Yes, they might say “oh, the character’s the most important” but tbh? It’s might just be the same. It’s about physical appearance. It’s really sad that almost the whole world have the same perspective which vary from their beauty standards (physical beauty standards). In my opinion beauty standard shouldn’t even exist in real life.
@@rosemarymetallic9741 nah idk where arr u from but yeah look is good for first impression, look only a big factor if someone just want playing around, but for marriage, i can bet indonesian really both man and woman put character first (the one who genuinely want marriage)
i know so many guys that have literally never been in a gym or dieted but want a perfectly slim or toned girl. so weird that they want that but don't work on themselves lol
I might get a lot of hate on this but. Suggestion. Can you please not make everything involving indonesia about hijab or religion? Maybe find a topic that won't involve any "religion view" and just Indonesian as general? And maybe get a more diverse interviewee? I feel that those that are not wearing hijab rarely have a say on anything
Bring hijab is good click bait, as the main topic should be just what is Indonesia beauty standard , well its their channel they can do whatever topic they want. Maybe next time Assian Boss could interview Malaysia beauty standard with muslim hijabi to have more perspective
really.. NKRI Indonesia is not ''Muslim'' at all they only use Islam as a tool and ''label'' for fake piety while practicing black magic and spiritualism..
Perhaps they want to alienate woman who wear hijab, They thought the hijab is something that bad, but it's not, for me, hijab bring me to freedom, Free from a lot of lifestyle demands, and what's wrong with that..
@City Of Charles Dirt To be clear, hijab has styles too. I think it really depends on the person. I personally wear hijab bcs I randomly want to wear it lol, I'm a simple person, if I feel clicked, I wear it. There's no restriction here wearing hijab, even many hijabis kids, their mothers don't wear one. It's just a choice here for some people. Maybe force for some people too. I feel like any styles got nothing to do oppression or freedom, It really depends on the invidual wellbeings and preferences. Just like me, I wear hijab first then my mother following a few years later😂 but strangely, many hijabis are scared of women wearing black niqab due to terrorisms. My friend wears niqab, but a colourful one, she's free willed girl, travelling everywhere alone sometimes with her friends. Hijab, niqab, khimar, or whatever don't really represent spritual level of someone. If the hijabi likes to torture cats or dogs or whatever, well hijab doesn't really help hahahaha :p
Ira Bakri It’s because ppl who don’t wear hijabs are curious about those who do. I honestly want to know how ppl with hijabs or those see ppl in hijabs on a daily basis perceive beauty. I just wanna know, no mean to offend. I used to think that it’s torturous to wear hijab but now I know that ppl are proud to wear hijabs. I do see the beauty in it now thanks to this interview.
agak aneh ketika ada pertanyaan kenapa harus merawat rambut meski pake hijab? bukannya jawabannya dah jelas, ga ada pertanyaan yg lebih berbobot gitu 😌
남자_ Jawabannya mungkin memang jelas bagi orang Indonesia, tapi buat orang di luar Indonesia yg non-Muslim banyak jg yg beneran ignorant sama hal-hal yg kita anggap sepele.
Mslhnya kenapa Hal itu musti ditanyakan, itu hak2 masing2 wanita berhijab, sy lihat td ada salah satu Mbaknya yg kagak nyaman pas dikasih pertanyaan itu...,,trus pertanyaan ttg penasaran apa kagak yg ada di balik hijab? Duh sangat gak perlu banget...,lagian judul awal beauty standard kenapa malah ke mslh pribadi orang,..
@@MsKebik sya malah heran apakah pertanyaan2 nya di buat oleh orang Islam atau dari pihak asian boss.... pertanyaan gak sopan kalau untuk yg muslimin dan muslimah, itu pertanyaan yg gak perlu karena jelas hijab itu perintah agama...
no hate.. i'm indonesian too but i think asianboss should really put titles that represents their video... this video should be titled "indonesia's beauty standard and their relativity to hijab"
It's funny how Asian Boss always looking for hijab topic in indonesia. I'm muslim from indonesia, but this is ridiculous for me. What about Malaysia?? They have many hijabi too, they even has Dato' Siti Nurhaliza as a super popular hijabi pop singer. Dear Asian Boss. If you want to make topic about indonesia, it's more relevan if you talking about different cultural and language in here. You called yourself 'asking indonesian people' but you only asking people in jakarta. Muslim topic always make outside poeple thinking "it must be a nutshell and difficult for non muslim living in indonesia" LoL If you go to medan, bali, and ntt, that's not easy to find halal food for muslim because their majority are non muslim. You called yourself 'Asian Boss' ??? I think you should called yourself 'Ridiculous Boss'. Note: you even can't hiring good interviewer in jakarta. D O S O M E R E S E A R C H
Fair skin is still a beauty standard, but the culture of skin bleaching is slowly disappear, u can trust me I'm Indonesian. The beauty standard is getting more simple these days, I belive Indonesia will reach the point when the beauty standard is just to have clear skin and good character
I don't even know skin bleaching did got popular before I just know that for quite a long time, people went for skin therapy or simply use whitening cream or just cosmetics
nope, for the skin it's best to have the fair one. exotic skin is oftentimes considered ugly and not attractive. trust me, i'm indonesian and that's just the reality.
@Nataly Hartman i get it. it's just the beauty standard here. doesn't mean i agree with it. from my observation, people with fair skin are still regarded more highly than people with exotic skin. i got this impression that fairer is preferable since darker is often considered dirty. though in my opinion, it's true that beauty isn't all about physical appearance^^
@Nataly Hartman Yeah skin color does not determine attractiveness. But in Indonesia, the majority of people are following the east Asian/ eurocentric beauty standards (at least from what I've seen). In my school, all of my male friends prefer girls with lighter skin (I'm a boy btw). I don't really talk with girls about which guys they like but judging from the girls that have a celebrity as their profile pictures It's usually is of a k-pop star or a white boy. Darker skin is not preferred and is mostly considered dirty Idk why cause a girl I like in school actually has golden-brown skin and I think any natural skin color is the best skin color.
Physical standart is probably symetrical and proportional face. Not too much eye bag. Clean skin. And yeah, fair skin or exotic skin doesn't really matter 🤔. I think its also depends on where you live. Cause Indonesia have many province. But in Indonesia, physical appearance is just a BONUS :v. If you have pretty face but act badly, usually you will considered as prideful mean girl 😂.. that usually appears as antagonist in sinetron wkwkkw. No matter is the appearence, your nice act is still number one. But, yeah, you should still take care of yourself. Because you still need appear nice and neatly. Just my opinion.
Indonesian ideal beauty standard : fair skin. That's the reality. Many Indonesian girls want to have fair skin like East Asian Girls. In fact, Indonesian girls have exotic and beautiful skin but when you have that type of skin, you'll be considered as black
Similar to the Philippines in language and being very religious (but Philippines is more Christian in the majority so not a lot of women wear hijabs in the Philippines if not in the more Southern parts usually). I hope that people will stop using whitening soaps thinking dark skin is not as attractive. _I appreciated that they interviewed many different people, because you start to realize that there is not only one taste or ideal for beauty!_ We all have different things we are attracted to-so never put yourself down in comparing to others and know that for someone you are perfectly beautiful or handsome! 🙂 Mabuhay tayo lahat!
Indonesian not East Asia (Chinese). Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines classified as Southeast Asia (Indian+Chinese+Oceania). Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam classifies as Indochina (Indian+Chinese)
George Costarica nah, you’re just being uneducated and ignorant about the sociocultural contexts of people’s differing views. Everyone who’s well-read would know that the desire to look “white” or “fair-skinned” in Asian countries comes from the collective experience of either colonialism (when South-East Asian countries were occupied by lighter-skinned foreigners) or just general class-consciousness (of which peasants and commoners generally considered to have tanned or darker skin tone than people of higher rank in society).
I think the subtitles can't provide what actually "mahram" means. "Mahram" is not just refer to close friends and family. Bcs if you're women and your close friend is a man, then he is not mahram at all. I think it's better to add explaination to some words that don't have comparison in english such as "mahram" It do applies to other words to
No, the subtitle could have been more descriptive, such as what you gave. Mahram being close friends and family and quite possibly the friends being female not male can see.
@@mikefishermagic A "mahram" is basically a person that you cannot marry according to islamic law; such as your dad/mom, brother/sister and some other close relatives.
As a Gen Z Indonesia, I can 100% confirm that fair skin, skinny, and having extravagant face features are not the desired beauty standar anymore. Nowadays I guess guys (and girls, too) see the beauty in every shape and size. That doesn't mean there is no beauty standard, but it's just wayyyyy simpler now.
I already went to Indonesia, and I am happy that they have no official beauty standard. Even when media said white skin and being thin are great but not all girls have to apply that, and they are naturally pretty.
Very true, I'm glad i live in Indonesia.. the beauty standards is very flexible and every people has different face and unique. Maybe it's because of how diverse the culture and ethnic there are in Indonesia.
As an indonesian, wearing hijab / jilbab is actually more prevalent today than a few years ago. In the past indonesia's islam has distinct taste compared to that of middle east's. Indonesia's muslims were very religious and faithful yet more tolerant and peaceful. Lately there has been a movement of using hijab or jilbab, many from their own conscience and religious conviction, but some public personalities use hijab for personal gain (artists who never wore hijab will suddenly use one if they want to enter politics, some of these even had sex scandals). But some people that do not use hijab are very faithful. So i think we cannot judge one's spirituality just based on whether they use religious coverings or ornaments.
Religious not for covering Its law in itself When u not wear it I don't think u are faithfull too tho.. U Deny half of the law u pick half the law Whow u are really 1000% Indonesian Shame on u
@@avioracrown6967 look into the sermons of prominent ulamas, not the ones on the fringes, and you will see that it is heart that truly matters. Religious covering definitely doesnt cover half of what the religion teaches. If you believe it truly covers half of what islam teaches, then how low is your understanding of religion. So no im not ashamed of this. You should be ashamed for ascribing whether a person is righteous or not based on head coverings alone. What a person does when he/she is alone is what truly reflects that person. Do you do amal and zakat in front of everyone for people's praises or in quietness so that the above sees it?
Muhammad as follows: قُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ يَغُضُّوْا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَ يَحْفَظُوْا فُرُوْجَهُمْ, ذَلِكَ أَزْكَى لَهُمْ. “Say to the believing men that: they should cast down their glances and guard their private parts (by being chaste). This is better for them.” وَ لاَ يُبْدِيْنَ زِيْنَتَهُنَّ إِلاَّ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ لْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلىَ جُيُوْبِهِنَّ... “...and not display their beauty except what is apparent, and they should place their khumur over their bosoms...” In Chapter 33 known as al-Ahzab, verse 59, Allah gives the following command to Prophet Muhammad: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ, قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ وَ بَنَاتِكَ وَ نِسآءِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ: يُدْنِيْنَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلاَبِيْبِهِنَّ... “O Prophet! Say to your wives, your daughters, and the women of the believers that: they should let down upon themselves their jalabib.” I don't know ulamas u are talkin about We muslims obey Qur'an not ulamas When ulamas don't obey Qur'an Why we obey them? U praise God or human? Human is corrupt being we like what we like We love what we love We live as we like That is human disire And u too like being called faithfull When u choose the law that u like.. Allah want us to pick them all Not just this or that Being atheis might better for u In atheisme there is no God So When u do good with your morality Thats don't have God intervense
You right, we are not in position to judge someone else based on how they look like or how they dress. Some people went to pengajian and watch videos of ustadz and thinking they could see a face and a style of someone who is going to hell.
Asian Boss seems can't let hijab wearing Indonesians alone. Every issues should relate with hijab I find indonesians and japenese people the most attractive looking Asians .
I think both have different fans ,if your like pale small eyed skinny girls than japan is for you ,but if you like tan skinned short girls than indonesia it is ,but there r also a lot of indonesians who r indistinguishable from japanese by the western eyes lol ,both r okay anyway ;)
even with all those answers in reality most indonesian people arent so strict about that standard. most indonesians dont bully those who dont meet that kind of standard. those standard isnt being forced in indonesia. and most indonesians dont really do everything to meet those standards. most of us still believe to preserve everything that god gave us. a bit beauty care is fine. nothing too extreme..
I think you should state in the title that it's applied to women in Indonesia, cause there's no male beauty standarts discussed. I'd like to hear about male ones too though!
Im from indonesia, i can tell you, just like everywhere else, for male you only need money, lots of them, and keep the appearance of religious person then you're good to go, even polygamy is a possibility
Asian boss can I volunteer to become the interviewer? I'm sorry but he just doesn't seem qualified enough. He stutters a lot and didn't articulate his words in a good way.
You may propose them to make you as their volunteer and show them your best, but please, just don't do it by degrading some others beside you. At least show some respect to others, or you're may be the one who's degrade yourself
I find it very beautiful that people can't judge women wearing hijab's beauty because of it. They only can see the beauty of their character. It's a beautiful concept 💚
Oh iya gantiin aja coyy.. pertanyaan dia gak bobot banget, malah kek gak nyaman aja didengernya.. kalo gw nanya pertanyaan kaya yg dia tanyain gw fix malu sama gaenak sama orgnya..
As an Indonesian man I think character is very important, physical can be change later 😂. We are looking for comfort, life is not all about sex-related matter such as beautiful physic
My mum is Indonesian and she has a very dark skin and a really big huge crown of thick voluminous curly hair and is quite small but always had an athletic beautiful body. I think from what the people described, she does not fit into the general beauty standards in Indonesia, but somehow whenever she visits, people always fall in love with her because they think she is so stunning (which she is, my mother is absolutely beautiful)😍 Fellow Indonesians always ask her whether she is an artist 😄 but she also has an incredible aura and charisma ,so that is also an important factor. What I also absolutely love about Indonesians is that they are so welcoming and friendly, communicative and smile and laugh a lot. I always have the best laughs with Indonesians, they don't seem to take themselves so serious; they have an amazing humour! Aaaw dear how I miss this country! Lots of love from an Indo-german girl, living in Germany 🤗❤
You're a halfies right? From your explanation, your mom seems really a beautiful person. Btw hmmm besides love is love & people have their own preference. But I don't why an Indo women who married/date a white caucasian men always barking about they're not fit into the genenal beauty standards, then blame the locals people especially men with slogan how white people are such a hero because they accept people as their own & make them not insecure etc. When in reality, it's just them who are lock themselves in their own insecure.
@callmehjacky I am half Indonesian, half German and I used to live in Indonesia as a little kid and went to kindergarten there but when I was around 5 years old we moved to Germany. My Indonesian has gotten a little bit rusty though but I still understand almost everything 🙈
Funny how most of the women said "we need to be skinny to be attractive ", but the men said "curvey" is attractive. Maybe we women need to rethink our insecurities.
@@peachperfume3694 nah, bcs some women think they're "king" and look down on men, they have mind set that any men have to bow down to them. im not saying this is all women, some of em
If you are curious about what was covered of women who wear hijab, it's means that you are curious about what was covered of women who wear bikini, you know, both of them protect anything valuable from the other people, the different is one of them protect manything, and the other one protect little thing...
@City Of Charles Dirt I think what she meant to say is that all women are pretty much has the same body, but we all have different preferences on what to cover. Some people covers just their nipples, and some people covers their whole body. People just have different preferences. Simple.
I have been in indonesia and met with many people from various places and tribes it's by far my favorite country after travelling many countries i stayed for 31 days and for extra 1 day overstay they told me to pay 1 million rupiah :( and yeah about the hijab i am from turkey (atheist) and even in jakarta i tought everyone will wear hijabs but actually it was not like as i seen in documentaries or news there were more people wearing hijab then turkey but still i can't compare it with any other muslim countries and people in there was honest religious people as i see (christians, Buddhists, muslims, hindus they all were religious but respectful to each other) btw you guyz are beautiful i cant understand why people are using some pills to get more white. I will come back aku sayang indonesia. Dear all people from indonesia terima kasih banyak for being awesome.
Indonesia is like Turkey.. Majority muslim but not a Muslim Country.. even they're muslim many girl don't wearing the Hijab.. drink alcohol, smoking and many more like the western do. But maybe the girl who's wearing hijab is less than Turkey right?
Title: what’s the ideal beauty standard in Indonesia? Konten: fokus ke wanita dan muslim community in Indonesia walopun awalnya dikatakan bahwa indonesia ini beraneka ragam suku dan kultur. Me: you can do better than this, Asian Boss..😔
Setuju dah, kenapa cuman Islam aja yang dilihat, bisa jadi sih "Asian bisa ingin memperlihatkan muslim di Indonesia seperti apa" kalo yang diwawancarai baik pasti image muslim Indonesia bagus dan di luar negeri memang banyak di bodohi dengan isu gak baik oleh media mengenai Islam. Tapi tetep aja Indonesian isn't just muslim. Gua agak sedikit sirih juga dari pemilihan katanya jadi sensitif padahal kalo bisa pake yang lebih sopan lebih bagus apalagi di translate ke Inggris, pertanyaannya mendekati tabo
here is the fact, in Indonesia, THERE IS NO BEAUTY STANDARD! As long as you are attractive, then people will think you are beautiful, Tbh, its just South Korea whos has beauty standard, right?
Been watching many videos from Asian Boss, about social issues in Japan, S Korea, India, Thailand, Philippines, and it kinda improved my understanding about cultural differences in other countries, and help me opened up my insight. The interviewers are so charming and full of empathy. This is the first time watching Asian Boss about social issue in Indonesia. As Indonesian, I feel so uncomfortable with the interviewer and the questions. Perhaps, arrange more structured questions.
Pada dasarnya semua wanita itu cantik. Kecantikan sejati itu berasal dari rasa syukur atas apa yang dimiliki. Bersyukur pada Allah yang sebaik2nya pencipta.
They put 4 false eyelashes on brides eyes 😂😂 i was lucky i got married before this beauty standard around. One false eyelashes and a normal ammount of foundation 🤭
domelsify the make-up artist on my wedding day put on two or three sets of fake eyelashes on me for the first half of the ceremony, I could hardly open my eyes. When the time for me and my husband to change into the second attire for the second half of the ceremony, I kinda lashed out (pun intended) at her and told her to take off those extra fake eyelashes from my eyes or else😠😤
Fair complexion ideals is so toxic in most Asian countries. My coworker recently gave birth to a baby girl and the first thing she complained was how dark the baby skin is while she has quite fair skin. That kid gonna having a hard time growing up, It's sickening.
@@novioey Some parents are so oblivious about how it's gonna impact their child's self esteem. You're lucky that you live in the west so your parents awful remark about your natural skin color is invalid based on western public beauty standard. While here in the east it's a lost game if you're born darker.
@@novioey OK fam that is serious, in my case I am a guy and my skin has got tanner by playing in sunlight but my mamma do light jokes on me that oh your skin has got so much darker cause you used to have lighter skin and all but u know she tells me that it's all harmless jokes and fun and she loves me as I am 😊😊
Conclusion: Man : no frills, natural beauty, you can be flat nose and curvy Women: give themself high standard, so they would answer white, skinny and pointed nose.
tbh the boys talk about what they like/look for in a girl, while the girls are talking about the media's beauty standard. Looking at this though, I realise as a girl in Indonesia, I shouldn't be so hard on myself to confirm to what media says I should be like. Plenty of boys will like me as I am right now, I just haven't met them yet :)
@@fonsineknshr thats why so many indonesian boys can't understand why girls are so hard on themselves when it comes to beauty, we always think you girls are pretty already with whatever skin color you have. I mean its important to have health skin & body (in terms of BMI), but you dont have to have thick eyebrow, straight hair, white skin, etc.
True... Most men here dont have unrealistic beauty standard, but the girls in the other hand... Indonesian girls, believe me, you all are so beautiful..
I think it’s actually beautiful. Just goes to show that how you take care of yourself, it shines through; and that taking care of yourself is important!
I love how the female said in Indonesia people love women with model like figure, and then the male just said 'not too wide, not too skinny, just proportionally standard body type'.
hope you guys see this comment! i think that Asian Boss has the most amazing mix of curious and fun content as well as direct factual journalism. i love ALL your videos, from the ones interviewing public figures to the ones interviewing defectors. keep on doing what you do!
Hey guys, I am from the UK and the last speaker makes the best point about Indonesians, they are very polite and sincere..The woman are very beautiful too with or without the hijab, I love your country very much
@NATT117 most indonesians today have an indoor jobs and clothes are becoming more and more affordable. Just compare photos of Indonesians in 60s and present day.
Ok, while I've only seen a few people that wear hijabs, why are they all so pretty? Like they all look amazing- I don't understand is there some sort of transformation magic that happens?
@@buffercov7428 haha kocak. Kalo dasarnya cantik ya cantik aja, mo pake hijab kek nggak kek. Yg pake hijab aja ada yg jelek, gitu jg yg nggak pake kalo dia dasarnya cantik ya cantik. Gak ada istilahnya pake kerudung lebih "cantik". Stereotype bgt sih jd orang.
Perhaps because they wash their face more than 5 times a day... Since the religion oblige them to wash their face, hands, and feet before 5 times daily prayer...
idk why but most western people looks better with tan skin and asians with white skin it just some how matches with the features.. not all though but mostly 🙊
@@kahaizer9006 haha i get your point. like girl pref. i like foreigner more than locals although as you can see the grill in the video is also beautifull for our standart
Getting bored with Asian boss content. Indonesia content should be about multiculturality, language, culture, diversity . Not just about religion, hijab, etc. We are not an Islamic country, We are Pancasila country. And dont just got interviewee from Jakarta only.
Indonesia is a nation consist of tens of thousands of islands, currently has a population of 270 million and growing. The term Indonesian refers to a citizenship, not reffering to any race or ethnic. Thus Indonesia has many different indigineous ethnicity which has different phisical apperiance. Plus there are other ethnic groups coming from mainland China, subcontinent India and the Arabian peninsula which has been in mix marriage for hundreds of years. Another mix is from hundreds of years of European colonization. Thus the standard of look and beauty of an Indonesian person is varies. The common look of an Indonesian person is just like other South East Asian people which is mix of north east Asia and south Asia (thus it is called Indochina) , light brown skin, medium size eyes, medium size nose, black hair (straight and curly) , this look usually potrait as being an Indonesian with minorities such as east Asian look (chinese decendent) , Indian & Arabian look and on easter part of Indonesia is Melanesian people who has darker skin color and curly black hair. All and all every look is beautiful and we all proud as Indonesian, there is no such thing as 1 standard beauty look. The look of being light skin, big round eyes or small Asian eyes, hair color, certain body shape are all creation of the worldwide cosmetic industry. It is not wrong to use these products as long as it is safe, it keeps economy going, however do not get too excesive. We Indonesians are proud of each of our ethnicity look, as long as healthy.
I don't live there anymore but when I was growing up in Indonesia, the most 'popular' girls/boys and deemed as ideally 'beautiful' or 'handsome' usually were those with fair skin, larger eyes (of course the nose has to be a certain way, proportionate and slightly on the longer side==the term my mom always said "mancung"). The people who often fit these generally were "Indo" or what these days termed as "Hapa." They were so popular and I remember all the boys (and girls) always crushed on the students who are mixed-race (the general ones whom I bumped into were, being Dutch father/mother with Indonesian mother/father). As for ideal, back then, for female: slender. For male: tall and athletic. In HS, I did notice the boys did start to like "curvy" figure, but the women still had to be more on the slim side.
Most non-muslim won't take a second thought to claim hijabis backdated. However, in this video, literally EVERY hijabi put out pretty solid informations and constructive points addressing three most important issues related to the concept of beauty at present- the current craze of altering our bodies, the importance of inner beauty/characters over physical and that hijabis can care about their beauty even when it's not on display for males to appreciate, rather for our own satisfaction. None of these hijabis sounded disappointed or hopeful about not meeting or meeting their stated standards. Kudos to these ladies. They sounded confident and very articulated to me at least!
@@harjeetsinghaulakhtruckdri520 well, in that case, shouldn't we be happy that those small minded people cancel themselves? Or they narrow down our options! 😂
*One thing common in every country these days-fair complexion* It’s so sad to see that people love only the fair complexion,beauty is in every color,every shade is beautiful
It's very true, such a eurocentric ideal, and yet most Caucasians tan. I'm Nigerian and I've seen so many Nigerians and other blacks bleach their skin to the point it looks laughable.
It's an ancient beauty standard in East/Southeast Asia. Fair skin meant nobility, because you didn't work out in the sun. It's not recent at all and has nothing to do with racism. It's called "colorism", and it exists in the west too, where it's the opposite - a tan skin is beautiful, pale skin is not. It's the exact same phenomenon.
@@AngryKittens yeah this is widespread so deeply rooted in our culture. Even if someone see a beautiful darker skin girl, they won't say she is beautiful. They'd say she's "hitam manis" basically saying darkly cute or sweet. Idk the english equivalent.
Well aku menyukai orang orang Indonesia dengan kulit coklat atau kuning Langsat. Karena terlihat lebih hidup dan eksotis. Putih tidak selalu menjadi patokan, bagiku bagaimanapun Indonesia tetap oke karena terlihat nyaman dilihat dari segi apapun.
7:03 she said 'mahram' not a close friend... I think before you upload it, it would be better if you double check about the subtitle, it can be a misunderstanding sometimes 🙈🙈🙈 Thank you for the content anyway~~~ stay curious!
Here in Indonesia, tall and has fair skin are the beauty standards. My lil sister is taller than me and her skin is lighter than mine. And people are always judging me for being short and darker and they are always comparing me to my lil sist 🙃
Kamu cantik kok. Cantik itu relatif. Semua wanita itu cantik. Gk harus putih, gk harus tinggi. Dan gk ush dengerin kata org. Ttp bersyukur dan ttp jadi diri sendiri.
From beauty standards (face features, skin fairness, fashion style) to inner beauty or attitude then finally opinions about Indonesian hijabers.. Have thought that not all the questions and answers were related to the topic. The Asian Boss-Indonesian team should gradually make improvement. Good luck for the next topic.
As a Filipino, I am sure Indonesia has a very wide range of beauty given its many ethnic groups plus its colorful history of migration and colonization. I find the tan ones the most attractive like Anggun. Indonesian beauty, unlike Korean beauty, is not hyped alot and that I think makes Indonesians even more beautiful. I just have one question, is the hijab a recent religious cultural trend? Do Indonesian women in the past decades strictly followed wearing hijab?
@@arnaruna Similar with Malaysia and Southern Philippines and even the Middle East? I saw some pictures of ladies from these regions around the 40s, 50s, 60s and even 70s and they don't wear hijab.
Thank you, Asian Boss, for doing more videos on Indonesians. It's a breath of fresh air to watch, being Indonesian myself. I feel that we as Asians tend to get left out in most topics pertaining to Asia, as do other Southeast Asian countries. It's sad and true that the ideal standard of beauty for Indonesian women is to have fair skin and big eyes. It's like that all over Southeast and East Asia really. Dates back to olden days when having light skinned equated wealth (not out in the sun a lot) while darker skin equated poverty (working in the fields). I myself am Indonesian of Chinese descent, and though my skin is light, it does get tan very quickly in the sun, and recently going back home this summer.. many family members would point out how "dark" I look and offered me many whitening products. Whereas, now that I live in the US, tan skin is considered the ideal beauty standard. It's very interesting to see the many different kinds of ideal beauty standards in different societies. What I love most about this interview is how each Indonesian emphasized that character and personality are most important. That at the end of the day, beauty fades, but your heart and character remain. And of Indonesians' friendliness and openness. That, to me, is why I do miss living in Indonesia. There is just such a stark difference in how open, friendly, and community-minded Indonesians are compared to the highly individualistic, sometimes rude, attitude in the US. But again - the US is diverse and each state has its own unique personality. Looking forward to watching more Indonesian-related videos!
i dont think there is something called beauty standart in here, indonesia, as long as you r attractive and have a great character people will love you.
As an English only speaker,Indonesian *if that's the correct wording* Is such a beautifully unfamiliar language. The world is vast and different. embrace the differences in strangers.
Yes, indonesian or bahasa Indonesia are correct And yes, every language is very vastly different. That's why we organize languages in families, and english and indonesian are in a different language family
You should try learning it! It's quite easy for a English native speaker (from what I've heard), with no noun gender, verb conjugations and a SVO word order.
so the conclusion is that indonesia do not have its own specific beauty standard. the questions are answered by their very own type of ‘attractiveness’.
I have lived around many places in Jawa, and now staying in kalimantan. Obviously, in my experience we have diverse beauty standard not only in community rather in individual level. I love this society, work hard but the more important is to keep chill...
MashaAllah I am a Maranao ( People of the Lake) and I found most of the word they use are exactly the same with our native Maranao words like "Badan" means body to us, "Bnar" means True to us, "Manis or Manisa" is means beautiful to us, "Mata" is eyes, "Tindeg" means the way he stand, gieto to us that.. I'm dying.. Could it be that Maranaos are akin to Indonesians 😢 Philippines history says our ancestors are partly Malays from Indonesia and Malaysian Brunei, and Arabs they came to the Philippines through Ice Bridge. Now I know why the National Language Tagalog are mixed Arab Malay Spanish..

Fair skin and big eyes seem to be the common standard of beauty in most of East Asia.
White skin color was the symbol of richness and high social class in East Asia because common people had to work for a long time in the field and most of them had tanned skin. So, it's common thing to prefer white skin color in Asian countries which found agriculture main national industry and it's traditional standard of beauty.
And it's sure that Asians tend to prefer big eyes but it's just another standard of beauty Asians like. There are many people preferring small eyes. So, it's a little bit difficult to generalize the standards of beauty.
Except in the Philippines (about the eyes). Notice in the Philippines video, more people said slanted eyes were beautiful.
Fair skin may be a cultural construct, but things like big eyes, small face, small nose, are all signals that denote youth and is desirable among all human females. Likewise things like small waist, big hips, ample breasts denote fertility, and clear skin, clear eyes, and lean body denote health. These are all things that are biologically ingrained and universal standards of beauty.
@@minim6981 well mostly because most of them have big eyes
@@kevinnguyen8631 Indonesians have big eyes too, but they still think big eyes are more beautiful. Filipinos like what is less common, so light skin and small eyes are considered more beautiful

As long I have clear skin. Dark or light doesn't matter.
For real 😭😔. I hope those acne spots would just disappear.
insyallah 😂😂
It's totally true baby. If u have white skin, ppl will call you beautiful :) it applied in my hometown. So many girls use whitening product. They dont care if the product contain mercury. As long as they have white skin, they will do anything lol
Clear, healthy looking skin is #1 😍
I agree. Clear supple skin is the most important. Color is secondary. If you have white skin that’s full of acne scars it’s a no go for me.
I think there is no ideal beauty standard in indonesia. Cause we have a lot of culture. And all of their answer is subjective.
Exactly. So many cultures & ppl r quite open & tolerant, BUT if we're talking bout POPULAR CULTURE it's mostly influenced by only a FEW big cities in d country. & Our systems (education, economy) & the entertainment industry is very centralized.
I think it's also because of the singularity of the interviewee. I'm sure there is a more of the beauty standard somehow. For example clear skin and hourglass or thin body as said in the vid.
Yesss agree
Totally True. Indonesia is not Jakarta only, there are also a lot of provinces in Indonesia, 34 provinces actually:v
I not really agree with you, i mean majority indonesia wearing hijab ,and i mean for have standar beauty for a country you must see opinion majority people in that country,i know in indonesia also have people not wearing hijab,but they are still less ,It's like voting and which one gets the most votes is the reference
Actually, this content is good. But the questions are kinda.... Lost.
yes. the questions were not structured very well and they gave different questions to different interviewees. so that's why the interviewees have different answers.
Say it no more. Some of the questions are out of topic.

Too many different answer,😂
Its mean that Indonesian doesnt have specific ideal beauty.
It just people's standart. Objective and Subjective.

I like how Indonesian say "the most attractive thing is: the character"
Because most of Indonesians are family oriented, so naturally they can be attracted (as first factor) by people who have good characters like caring, humble, kind, mindful, loving kids, etc.
You know its a lie dont you
@@kurnie17 lol not really, in my city (i am live in Lombok), most man and woman I know always said they prefer humble, smart, religious, and romantic man or female than pretty or handsome one. Their reason? Because when they married what they want is the characteristic than their body. There also some people want handsome and beautifull patner but from what I saw most of the people I know prefer their character than face. (sorry with my english haha 😁).
As an indonesian i’m brave enough to say that most of the people here cares about the appearances too much. I don’t know exactly about other countries but in Indonesia having a fair skin, slim face, big eyes, tall nose and pigmented lips are basically all you need to be accepted as a “beautiful” person. Yes, they might say “oh, the character’s the most important” but tbh? It’s might just be the same. It’s about physical appearance. It’s really sad that almost the whole world have the same perspective which vary from their beauty standards (physical beauty standards). In my opinion beauty standard shouldn’t even exist in real life.
@@rosemarymetallic9741 nah idk where arr u from but yeah look is good for first impression, look only a big factor if someone just want playing around, but for marriage, i can bet indonesian really both man and woman put character first (the one who genuinely want marriage)

I feel that those that are not wearing hijab rarely have a say on anything
Yes... you're right
Bring hijab is good click bait, as the main topic should be just what is Indonesia beauty standard , well its their channel they can do whatever topic they want. Maybe next time Assian Boss could interview Malaysia beauty standard with muslim hijabi to have more perspective

really.. NKRI Indonesia is not ''Muslim'' at all they only use Islam as a tool and ''label'' for fake piety while practicing black magic and spiritualism..
I live in Germany and I wish the people here would also smile that often and care more about being polite and kind like they do in Indonesia.
i think its have to do with culture here even people dont know you they still smile if you meet them
wait till you see how filipinos smile
😅😅😅
they are Muslims, the teachings of Islam are commanded to spread smiles and happiness to others without any element of coercion and not binding
hello dear 🎻💓❤️
Asian Boss seems can't let hijabi Indonesian alone. Every issues should relate with hijab.
They get lot profits for bringing such topics
Perhaps they want to alienate woman who wear hijab, They thought the hijab is something that bad, but it's not, for me, hijab bring me to freedom, Free from a lot of lifestyle demands, and what's wrong with that..
Nah....such a dumbass asf...everything must be related to the muslim/hijab..the content's creator must be out of for thinking some ideas.
@City Of Charles Dirt To be clear, hijab has styles too. I think it really depends on the person. I personally wear hijab bcs I randomly want to wear it lol, I'm a simple person, if I feel clicked, I wear it. There's no restriction here wearing hijab, even many hijabis kids, their mothers don't wear one. It's just a choice here for some people. Maybe force for some people too. I feel like any styles got nothing to do oppression or freedom, It really depends on the invidual wellbeings and preferences. Just like me, I wear hijab first then my mother following a few years later😂 but strangely, many hijabis are scared of women wearing black niqab due to terrorisms. My friend wears niqab, but a colourful one, she's free willed girl, travelling everywhere alone sometimes with her friends.
Hijab, niqab, khimar, or whatever don't really represent spritual level of someone. If the hijabi likes to torture cats or dogs or whatever, well hijab doesn't really help hahahaha :p
Ira Bakri It’s because ppl who don’t wear hijabs are curious about those who do. I honestly want to know how ppl with hijabs or those see ppl in hijabs on a daily basis perceive beauty. I just wanna know, no mean to offend. I used to think that it’s torturous to wear hijab but now I know that ppl are proud to wear hijabs. I do see the beauty in it now thanks to this interview.
agak aneh ketika ada pertanyaan kenapa harus merawat rambut meski pake hijab? bukannya jawabannya dah jelas, ga ada pertanyaan yg lebih berbobot gitu 😌

Dear Asian Boss. If you want to make topic about indonesia, it's more relevan if you talking about different cultural and language in here.

Fair skin is still a beauty standard, but the culture of skin bleaching is slowly disappear, u can trust me I'm Indonesian.
The beauty standard is getting more simple these days, I belive Indonesia will reach the point when the beauty standard is just to have clear skin and good character
I don't even know skin bleaching did got popular before
I just know that for quite a long time, people went for skin therapy or simply use whitening cream or just cosmetics
@@adiabd1They call it skin whitening, it's skin bleaching.
@@fakyu9346 ah i see
You wrong, mercury cream still people favoriteee 😂😂
kinda agree
The point is the beauty standard in Indonesia is smiling face. Even you cover your self with hijab , but your beauties come out from your smile
Standard beauty is everything that you are not.
Just love yourself. Not everyone's preferences are the same 🌸
EXACTLY!
*THIS*
Beauty standard in Indonesia
Clean body, no matter fair skin or exotic skin
Attitude and intelligent. Thats beautiful
nope, for the skin it's best to have the fair one. exotic skin is oftentimes considered ugly and not attractive. trust me, i'm indonesian and that's just the reality.
@Nataly Hartman i get it. it's just the beauty standard here. doesn't mean i agree with it. from my observation, people with fair skin are still regarded more highly than people with exotic skin. i got this impression that fairer is preferable since darker is often considered dirty. though in my opinion, it's true that beauty isn't all about physical appearance^^
@Nataly Hartman Yeah skin color does not determine attractiveness. But in Indonesia, the majority of people are following the east Asian/ eurocentric beauty standards (at least from what I've seen). In my school, all of my male friends prefer girls with lighter skin (I'm a boy btw). I don't really talk with girls about which guys they like but judging from the girls that have a celebrity as their profile pictures It's usually is of a k-pop star or a white boy. Darker skin is not preferred and is mostly considered dirty Idk why cause a girl I like in school actually has golden-brown skin and I think any natural skin color is the best skin color.
be realistic pls... beauty standar in indonesia = fair skin, double eyelid, thin, etc
Physical standart is probably symetrical and proportional face. Not too much eye bag. Clean skin. And yeah, fair skin or exotic skin doesn't really matter 🤔.
I think its also depends on where you live. Cause Indonesia have many province.
But in Indonesia, physical appearance is just a BONUS :v. If you have pretty face but act badly, usually you will considered as prideful mean girl 😂.. that usually appears as antagonist in sinetron wkwkkw.
No matter is the appearence, your nice act is still number one. But, yeah, you should still take care of yourself. Because you still need appear nice and neatly.
Just my opinion.
Indonesian ideal beauty standard : fair skin. That's the reality. Many Indonesian girls want to have fair skin like East Asian Girls. In fact, Indonesian girls have exotic and beautiful skin but when you have that type of skin, you'll be considered as black
@Monokuma No. I mean black here is more like dark skin but Indonesian people will say it as black
@Monokuma as Indonesian Black stereotipe is like indigenous skin, not brighter than Caucasian, but not black as African etc. (No racism)
@Monokuma think light brown skin like the rural mexicans. Yeah, it is considered as black over here.... I know it's ridiculous.
Because many Indonesian youngsters beauty standards are Japanese,Chinese and S.Korean 😐
We are just "commercial victim" of beauty product
Similar to the Philippines in language and being very religious (but Philippines is more Christian in the majority so not a lot of women wear hijabs in the Philippines if not in the more Southern parts usually). I hope that people will stop using whitening soaps thinking dark skin is not as attractive.
_I appreciated that they interviewed many different people, because you start to realize that there is not only one taste or ideal for beauty!_ We all have different things we are attracted to-so never put yourself down in comparing to others and know that for someone you are perfectly beautiful or handsome! 🙂 Mabuhay tayo lahat!
Indonesian not East Asia (Chinese).
Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines classified as Southeast Asia (Indian+Chinese+Oceania).
Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam classifies as Indochina (Indian+Chinese)
oy nandito ka pala pare tama ka maganda naman talaga ang kulay ng morena/moreno 👍
@George Costarica China also think white good, also they already the world's largest economy beating USA.
George Costarica nah, you’re just being uneducated and ignorant about the sociocultural contexts of people’s differing views. Everyone who’s well-read would know that the desire to look “white” or “fair-skinned” in Asian countries comes from the collective experience of either colonialism (when South-East Asian countries were occupied by lighter-skinned foreigners) or just general class-consciousness (of which peasants and commoners generally considered to have tanned or darker skin tone than people of higher rank in society).

As a Gen Z Indonesia, I can 100% confirm that fair skin, skinny, and having extravagant face features are not the desired beauty standar anymore. Nowadays I guess guys (and girls, too) see the beauty in every shape and size. That doesn't mean there is no beauty standard, but it's just wayyyyy simpler now.
I already went to Indonesia, and I am happy that they have no official beauty standard. Even when media said white skin and being thin are great but not all girls have to apply that, and they are naturally pretty.
Hai apa kabarmu hari ini
🇮🇩🤢💩
Very true, I'm glad i live in Indonesia.. the beauty standards is very flexible and every people has different face and unique. Maybe it's because of how diverse the culture and ethnic there are in Indonesia.
As an indonesian, wearing hijab / jilbab is actually more prevalent today than a few years ago. In the past indonesia's islam has distinct taste compared to that of middle east's. Indonesia's muslims were very religious and faithful yet more tolerant and peaceful. Lately there has been a movement of using hijab or jilbab, many from their own conscience and religious conviction, but some public personalities use hijab for personal gain (artists who never wore hijab will suddenly use one if they want to enter politics, some of these even had sex scandals). But some people that do not use hijab are very faithful. So i think we cannot judge one's spirituality just based on whether they use religious coverings or ornaments.
Religious not for covering
Its law in itself
When u not wear it
I don't think u are faithfull too tho..
U Deny half of the law u pick half the law
Whow u are really 1000% Indonesian
Shame on u
@@avioracrown6967 look into the sermons of prominent ulamas, not the ones on the fringes, and you will see that it is heart that truly matters. Religious covering definitely doesnt cover half of what the religion teaches. If you believe it truly covers half of what islam teaches, then how low is your understanding of religion.
So no im not ashamed of this. You should be ashamed for ascribing whether a person is righteous or not based on head coverings alone. What a person does when he/she is alone is what truly reflects that person. Do you do amal and zakat in front of everyone for people's praises or in quietness so that the above sees it?
Muhammad as follows:
قُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ يَغُضُّوْا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَ يَحْفَظُوْا فُرُوْجَهُمْ, ذَلِكَ أَزْكَى لَهُمْ.
“Say to the believing men that: they should cast down their glances and guard their private parts (by being chaste). This is better for them.”
وَ لاَ يُبْدِيْنَ زِيْنَتَهُنَّ إِلاَّ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ لْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلىَ جُيُوْبِهِنَّ...
“...and not display their beauty except what is apparent, and they should place their khumur over their bosoms...”
In Chapter 33 known as al-Ahzab, verse 59, Allah gives the following command to Prophet Muhammad:
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ, قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ وَ بَنَاتِكَ وَ نِسآءِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ: يُدْنِيْنَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلاَبِيْبِهِنَّ...
“O Prophet! Say to your wives, your daughters, and the women of the believers that: they should let down upon themselves their jalabib.”
I don't know ulamas u are talkin about
We muslims obey Qur'an not ulamas
When ulamas don't obey Qur'an
Why we obey them?
U praise God or human?
Human is corrupt being
we like what we like
We love what we love
We live as we like
That is human disire
And u too like being called faithfull
When u choose the law that u like..
Allah want us to pick them all
Not just this or that
Being atheis might better for u
In atheisme there is no God
So
When u do good with your morality
Thats don't have God intervense
Im agree lol
You right, we are not in position to judge someone else based on how they look like or how they dress. Some people went to pengajian and watch videos of ustadz and thinking they could see a face and a style of someone who is going to hell.

I find indonesians and japenese people the most attractive looking Asians .
We too beautiful look at us once from 🇮🇳
What about korean?
I think both have different fans ,if your like pale small eyed skinny girls than japan is for you ,but if you like tan skinned short girls than indonesia it is ,but there r also a lot of indonesians who r indistinguishable from japanese by the western eyes lol ,both r okay anyway ;)
I think u dont know how asia is diverse, in east asia i find japanese more attractive too , but all asia!?
Nah
even with all those answers in reality most indonesian people arent so strict about that standard. most indonesians dont bully those who dont meet that kind of standard. those standard isnt being forced in indonesia. and most indonesians dont really do everything to meet those standards. most of us still believe to preserve everything that god gave us. a bit beauty care is fine. nothing too extreme..
I think you should state in the title that it's applied to women in Indonesia, cause there's no male beauty standarts discussed. I'd like to hear about male ones too though!
Im from indonesia, i can tell you, just like everywhere else, for male you only need money, lots of them, and keep the appearance of religious person then you're good to go, even polygamy is a possibility

@callmehjacky I am half Indonesian, half German and I used to live in Indonesia as a little kid and went to kindergarten there but when I was around 5 years old we moved to Germany. My Indonesian has gotten a little bit rusty though but I still understand almost everything 🙈
Omg now way I'm also indonesian-german living in Germany!
Liked how they also consider ones personality and character as beauty
Funny how most of the women said "we need to be skinny to be attractive ", but the men said "curvey" is attractive. Maybe we women need to rethink our insecurities.

If you are curious about what was covered of women who wear hijab, it's means that you are curious about what was covered of women who wear bikini, you know, both of them protect anything valuable from the other people, the different is one of them protect manything, and the other one protect little thing...
@City Of Charles Dirt I think what she meant to say is that all women are pretty much has the same body, but we all have different preferences on what to cover. Some people covers just their nipples, and some people covers their whole body.
People just have different preferences. Simple.

I have been in indonesia and met with many people from various places and tribes it's by far my favorite country after travelling many countries i stayed for 31 days and for extra 1 day overstay they told me to pay 1 million rupiah :( and yeah about the hijab i am from turkey (atheist) and even in jakarta i tought everyone will wear hijabs but actually it was not like as i seen in documentaries or news there were more people wearing hijab then turkey but still i can't compare it with any other muslim countries and people in there was honest religious people as i see (christians, Buddhists, muslims, hindus they all were religious but respectful to each other) btw you guyz are beautiful i cant understand why people are using some pills to get more white.
I will come back aku sayang indonesia.
Dear all people from indonesia terima kasih banyak for being awesome.
Indonesia is like Turkey.. Majority muslim but not a Muslim Country.. even they're muslim many girl don't wearing the Hijab.. drink alcohol, smoking and many more like the western do. But maybe the girl who's wearing hijab is less than Turkey right?

Title: what’s the ideal beauty standard in Indonesia?
Konten: fokus ke wanita dan muslim community in Indonesia walopun awalnya dikatakan bahwa indonesia ini beraneka ragam suku dan kultur.
Me: you can do better than this, Asian Boss..😔
Kontennya aneh nya pokus nyari cewe yg berhijab doang.. kan ANEH
So weird. I'll dislike
Setuju dah, kenapa cuman Islam aja yang dilihat, bisa jadi sih "Asian bisa ingin memperlihatkan muslim di Indonesia seperti apa" kalo yang diwawancarai baik pasti image muslim Indonesia bagus dan di luar negeri memang banyak di bodohi dengan isu gak baik oleh media mengenai Islam. Tapi tetep aja Indonesian isn't just muslim. Gua agak sedikit sirih juga dari pemilihan katanya jadi sensitif padahal kalo bisa pake yang lebih sopan lebih bagus apalagi di translate ke Inggris, pertanyaannya mendekati tabo
here is the fact, in Indonesia, THERE IS NO BEAUTY STANDARD! As long as you are attractive, then people will think you are beautiful,
Tbh, its just South Korea whos has beauty standard, right?
Yeah ikr... Long as the person is neat and clean then she/he will look attractive..
Well that’s probably because Indonesia is a very diverse and big country, Korea is more homogenic
lmao dumbass

Been watching many videos from Asian Boss, about social issues in Japan, S Korea, India, Thailand, Philippines, and it kinda improved my understanding about cultural differences in other countries, and help me opened up my insight. The interviewers are so charming and full of empathy.
This is the first time watching Asian Boss about social issue in Indonesia. As Indonesian, I feel so uncomfortable with the interviewer and the questions. Perhaps, arrange more structured questions.
Pada dasarnya semua wanita itu cantik. Kecantikan sejati itu berasal dari rasa syukur atas apa yang dimiliki. Bersyukur pada Allah yang sebaik2nya pencipta.

Indonesian beauty standard:
- red hijab
- wearing glass
- cute & graceful face
- fair skin
"A pretty face is useless if your character is bad"!
Conclusion:
Man : no frills, natural beauty, you can be flat nose and curvy
Women: give themself high standard, so they would answer white, skinny and pointed nose.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking
tbh the boys talk about what they like/look for in a girl, while the girls are talking about the media's beauty standard.
Looking at this though, I realise as a girl in Indonesia, I shouldn't be so hard on myself to confirm to what media says I should be like. Plenty of boys will like me as I am right now, I just haven't met them yet :)
@@fonsineknshr thats why so many indonesian boys can't understand why girls are so hard on themselves when it comes to beauty, we always think you girls are pretty already with whatever skin color you have.

Hello from Indonesia
It's so sad when people from tropical countries have white/light skin as the beauty standar...
hahaha, true
Indonesians are getting lighter and lighter in terms of skin color
@NATT117 most indonesians today have an indoor jobs and clothes are becoming more and more affordable. Just compare photos of Indonesians in 60s and present day.
yea same so sad too for koreans who mostly have small monolid eyes wanna have big double eyelid eyes.

When women wear hijab they looks more more beatifull,
Base on my eksperience.

@@buffercov7428 haha kocak. Kalo dasarnya cantik ya cantik aja, mo pake hijab kek nggak kek. Yg pake hijab aja ada yg jelek, gitu jg yg nggak pake kalo dia dasarnya cantik ya cantik. Gak ada istilahnya pake kerudung lebih "cantik". Stereotype bgt sih jd orang.
Perhaps because they wash their face more than 5 times a day... Since the religion oblige them to wash their face, hands, and feet before 5 times daily prayer...
Indonesians are the best people I've ever met in my life ❤️. Most of them are not conservative and quite open + Friendly 😎
While western people tried to tanned their skin, Asian people (who's tanned) tried to make their skin to be more fair (white)
jajaja true xd
Yes! Asians want to have white skin. While westeners spend money to get tanned skin.
idk why but most western people looks better with tan skin and asians with white skin it just some how matches with the features.. not all though but mostly 🙊

hello dear 💋🎻❤️
Indonesia is a nation consist of tens of thousands of islands, currently has a population of 270 million and growing. The term Indonesian refers to a citizenship, not reffering to any race or ethnic. Thus Indonesia has many different indigineous ethnicity which has different phisical apperiance. Plus there are other ethnic groups coming from mainland China, subcontinent India and the Arabian peninsula which has been in mix marriage for hundreds of years. Another mix is from hundreds of years of European colonization.
Thus the standard of look and beauty of an Indonesian person is varies.
The common look of an Indonesian person is just like other South East Asian people which is mix of north east Asia and south Asia (thus it is called Indochina) , light brown skin, medium size eyes, medium size nose, black hair (straight and curly) , this look usually potrait as being an Indonesian with minorities such as east Asian look (chinese decendent) , Indian & Arabian look and on easter part of Indonesia is Melanesian people who has darker skin color and curly black hair.
All and all every look is beautiful and we all proud as Indonesian, there is no such thing as 1 standard beauty look. The look of being light skin, big round eyes or small Asian eyes, hair color, certain body shape are all creation of the worldwide cosmetic industry. It is not wrong to use these products as long as it is safe, it keeps economy going, however do not get too excesive. We Indonesians are proud of each of our ethnicity look, as long as healthy.
Unique Bali you should be the interviewer for this video. Thank you for the explanation.

I don't live there anymore but when I was growing up in Indonesia, the most 'popular' girls/boys and deemed as ideally 'beautiful' or 'handsome' usually were those with fair skin, larger eyes (of course the nose has to be a certain way, proportionate and slightly on the longer side==the term my mom always said "mancung"). The people who often fit these generally were "Indo" or what these days termed as "Hapa." They were so popular and I remember all the boys (and girls) always crushed on the students who are mixed-race (the general ones whom I bumped into were, being Dutch father/mother with Indonesian mother/father). As for ideal, back then, for female: slender. For male: tall and athletic. In HS, I did notice the boys did start to like "curvy" figure, but the women still had to be more on the slim side.
Most non-muslim won't take a second thought to claim hijabis backdated. However, in this video, literally EVERY hijabi put out pretty solid informations and constructive points addressing three most important issues related to the concept of beauty at present- the current craze of altering our bodies, the importance of inner beauty/characters over physical and that hijabis can care about their beauty even when it's not on display for males to appreciate, rather for our own satisfaction. None of these hijabis sounded disappointed or hopeful about not meeting or meeting their stated standards. Kudos to these ladies. They sounded confident and very articulated to me at least!
But when your face is not good ,then no one will look at your inner beauty,

*One thing common in every country these days-fair complexion*
It’s so sad to see that people love only the fair complexion,beauty is in every color,every shade is beautiful
Not just these days. Since my parents time fair complexion has been the fad. And still difficult to convince my parents how wrong that is.
It's very true, such a eurocentric ideal, and yet most Caucasians tan. I'm Nigerian and I've seen so many Nigerians and other blacks bleach their skin to the point it looks laughable.
It's an ancient beauty standard in East/Southeast Asia. Fair skin meant nobility, because you didn't work out in the sun. It's not recent at all and has nothing to do with racism. It's called "colorism", and it exists in the west too, where it's the opposite - a tan skin is beautiful, pale skin is not. It's the exact same phenomenon.
@@AngryKittens yeah this is widespread so deeply rooted in our culture. Even if someone see a beautiful darker skin girl, they won't say she is beautiful. They'd say she's "hitam manis" basically saying darkly cute or sweet. Idk the english equivalent.
@@lornilula4213 Google translates "hitam manis" to "attractive dark brown complexion". Does that seem about right or is there more to it?

it's amazing to hear how very similar tagalog/filipino is to indonesian
From beauty standards (face features, skin fairness, fashion style) to inner beauty or attitude then finally opinions about Indonesian hijabers..
Have thought that not all the questions and answers were related to the topic.
The Asian Boss-Indonesian team should gradually make improvement. Good luck for the next topic.
As a Filipino, I am sure Indonesia has a very wide range of beauty given its many ethnic groups plus its colorful history of migration and colonization. I find the tan ones the most attractive like Anggun. Indonesian beauty, unlike Korean beauty, is not hyped alot and that I think makes Indonesians even more beautiful. I just have one question, is the hijab a recent religious cultural trend? Do Indonesian women in the past decades strictly followed wearing hijab?
just a recent religious cultural trend
Yeaah Anggun c sasmi is so damn pretty~
@@arnaruna
Similar with Malaysia and Southern Philippines and even the Middle East? I saw some pictures of ladies from these regions around the 40s, 50s, 60s and even 70s and they don't wear hijab.
in Indonesia it affect all age range from youth to elderly
those who wants to wear it, worn it, those who don't want to, they didnt use hijab
Thank you, Asian Boss, for doing more videos on Indonesians. It's a breath of fresh air to watch, being Indonesian myself. I feel that we as Asians tend to get left out in most topics pertaining to Asia, as do other Southeast Asian countries. It's sad and true that the ideal standard of beauty for Indonesian women is to have fair skin and big eyes. It's like that all over Southeast and East Asia really. Dates back to olden days when having light skinned equated wealth (not out in the sun a lot) while darker skin equated poverty (working in the fields). I myself am Indonesian of Chinese descent, and though my skin is light, it does get tan very quickly in the sun, and recently going back home this summer.. many family members would point out how "dark" I look and offered me many whitening products. Whereas, now that I live in the US, tan skin is considered the ideal beauty standard. It's very interesting to see the many different kinds of ideal beauty standards in different societies. What I love most about this interview is how each Indonesian emphasized that character and personality are most important. That at the end of the day, beauty fades, but your heart and character remain. And of Indonesians' friendliness and openness. That, to me, is why I do miss living in Indonesia. There is just such a stark difference in how open, friendly, and community-minded Indonesians are compared to the highly individualistic, sometimes rude, attitude in the US. But again - the US is diverse and each state has its own unique personality. Looking forward to watching more Indonesian-related videos!

i dont think there is something called beauty standart in here, indonesia, as long as you r attractive and have a great character people will love you.
As an English only speaker,Indonesian *if that's the correct wording* Is such a beautifully unfamiliar language. The world is vast and different. embrace the differences in strangers.
Yes, indonesian or bahasa Indonesia are correct
And yes, every language is very vastly different. That's why we organize languages in families, and english and indonesian are in a different language family
In bahasa many words are borrowed from English, Dutch, Arab, and sanskrit words.
Thank you so much 💜 i appreciate that
Thank you :') I was thinking what non-indonesian speakers would've thought of our language
You should try learning it! It's quite easy for a English native speaker (from what I've heard), with no noun gender, verb conjugations and a SVO word order.

lol *YES*
Agree
@arif mark007 she's gorgeous but isn't she a mix blood? 🤔
Yass gurl!
nabilah ratna ayu
so the conclusion is that indonesia do not have its own specific beauty standard. the questions are answered by their very own type of ‘attractiveness’.
I have lived around many places in Jawa, and now staying in kalimantan. Obviously, in my experience we have diverse beauty standard not only in community rather in individual level. I love this society, work hard but the more important is to keep chill...
MashaAllah I am a Maranao ( People of the Lake) and I found most of the word they use are exactly the same with our native Maranao words like "Badan" means body to us, "Bnar" means True to us, "Manis or Manisa" is means beautiful to us, "Mata" is eyes, "Tindeg" means the way he stand, gieto to us that.. I'm dying.. Could it be that Maranaos are akin to Indonesians 😢 Philippines history says our ancestors are partly Malays from Indonesia and Malaysian Brunei, and Arabs they came to the Philippines through Ice Bridge. Now I know why the National Language Tagalog are mixed Arab Malay Spanish..
