1:24 *"Basically the beauty standards now are about changing everything that God gave you."* Elite answer. 👏

Me: indonesian Also me: read the subtitles

Actually, this content is good. But the questions are kinda.... Lost.

I think there is no ideal beauty standard in indonesia. Cause we have a lot of culture. And all of their answer is subjective.

As long I have clear skin. Dark or light doesn't matter.

Fair skin and big eyes seem to be the common standard of beauty in most of East Asia.

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. 👍

I like how Indonesian say "the most attractive thing is: the character"

" The body shouldn't be too wide although I'm wide. " Sorry but I laughed so hard 😂

the title: wHaT’s tHe iDEaL bEaUTy stAnDaRd iN InDonESiA? what’s the video talking about: “how do indonesians think about hijab?”

4:36 I don't think it's necessary to ask about the fantasy what is like underneath the hijab -_-

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 find Indonesian women really pretty.

The Indonesien people seems really kind. Huge respect form Denmark to Indonesia and it’s people 🇲🇨🇩🇰

By the way Asian Boss, your Indonesian reporter is always asking unstructured questions it makes me dizzy

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"

Standard beauty is everything that you are not. Just love yourself. Not everyone's preferences are the same 🌸

Asian Boss seems can't let hijabi Indonesian alone. Every issues should relate with hijab.

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

agak aneh ketika ada pertanyaan kenapa harus merawat rambut meski pake hijab? bukannya jawabannya dah jelas, ga ada pertanyaan yg lebih berbobot gitu 😌

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!

Beauty standard in Indonesia Clean body, no matter fair skin or exotic skin Attitude and intelligent. Thats beautiful

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

Man, Indonesians seem really chill and cool people

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

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

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

been to jakarta a few times and the people are so so genuine that being there almost feels like home 💙

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

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..

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.

"Putih" in Bahasa Indonesia = "Puti" in Tagalog. So yeah, pretty consistent as well with our neighbors down south (re: beauty standards).

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 🤗❤

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.

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.

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 💚

Extravagant eyelashes and extravagant eyebrows is soooo true 😂😂 the fake eyelashes are crazy here especially on weddings

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 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!

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

Hey asian boss! I live in Jakarta and I would love to be one of your reporter in Indonesia. I love public speaking, fluent in english and Indonesian.

Indonesian language sound friendly and calming especially when women talk.

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.

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.

From USA-Chicago area, love this interview, asking some real questions here.

Nice try dude, for the next content please make sure you hire a good one for reporter job.

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...

6:35 okay but she’s so pretty and seems like a really nice person

Liked how they also consider ones personality and character as beauty

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.

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.

I like the beauty of indonesia.and the heart only..i love Indonesian from Philippines

As I see, all the women in this video are very beautiful :-0

Indonesian girls are so cute

The girl with red hijab is so beautiful

I love Indonesia 😍😍😍😍love from Brazil

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.

4:46 : "have you ever wondered what kind of 'beauty' they may be protect and hiding from people?" You missed the 'beauty' in the subtitle

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 🙃

Indonesians are the best people I've ever met in my life ❤️. Most of them are not conservative and quite open + Friendly 😎

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!

mas reporter harus lebih baik lagi utk tata bahasanya

"A pretty face is useless if your character is bad"!

I LOVE Indonesia and it's people. I want to go and visit one day. May God make it possible for me.

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!

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 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.

Algeria 🇩🇿 always stands with Indonesia 🇮🇩 United and amicable

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.

I notice that each time i watch indonesian themed asian boss videos, the translation/subtitles are a bit off.............

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?

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?

"Yah gak usah terlalu besarrr.. ya maksudnya badannya hehe" Ngakak anying.

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..😔

So greatful for thus channel for bringing content thats outside of the things I know as a european.

It's so sad when people from tropical countries have white/light skin as the beauty standar...

*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

pls find a new interviewer AsianBoss, he cant even comprehend his words properly

In Indonesian good attitude is no.1

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

Pada dasarnya semua wanita itu cantik. Kecantikan sejati itu berasal dari rasa syukur atas apa yang dimiliki. Bersyukur pada Allah yang sebaik2nya pencipta.

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.

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 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'.

While western people tried to tanned their skin, Asian people (who's tanned) tried to make their skin to be more fair (white)

Thank you for always uploading a good video!🙆‍♂️❤️🙆‍♂️ -From. Korea🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷

Indonesian beauty standard: - red hijab - wearing glass - cute & graceful face - fair skin

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...

Wow the girls are so beautiful. I want to visit indonesia. Greetings from Germany

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.

0:47 shes telling us bout herself.

There are so many different answers, it means that theres no really answer to define "beauty" in indonesia. I love that👍

Please asianboss make interview about what Indonesian think about Malaysian.. and vice versa

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.

it's amazing to hear how very similar tagalog/filipino is to indonesian

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.

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?

Very interesting as always , thanks

5:56 "does she maybe have skin issues ?" Man that is the most stupid statement i've hear about why women choose to use a long hijab.

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.
