A TikTok video has been making the rounds recently, and Malaysians have every reason to smile. In a street interview by @girlsinterviewjapan, several Japanese women were asked to name the Asian country they think has the most handsome men.
The list included the usual suspects like Korea and China—but Malaysia unexpectedly stole the show.

When the interviewer asked them to compare men from India, Indonesia, and the Philippines to Malaysian men, the women confidently chose Malaysia. Even the interviewer looked a little surprised by their answer.
One of the women explained that she found Malaysian men to have really nice facial features. Another said she once came across a Malaysian guy on TikTok and thought he looked incredibly cool and stylish. The diversity of looks in Malaysia also came up, with one of them mentioning how Malaysia is unique because it’s home to many different races. She pointed out that if someone isn’t into one type, there are always other options… Malay, Chinese, Indian. There’s something for everyone.
Back home, Malaysians couldn’t help but react with cheeky humour. Some joked that maybe they weren’t unattractive after all—just born in the wrong country. Others laughed that if they couldn’t find love in Malaysia, maybe it was time to consider Japan.
Wow, Malaysians. We already knew you lot look good, but when people across the sea are noticing? Now that’s international-level handsome.
