A lighthearted TikTok interview has taken social media by storm, especially among Malaysians, after two Japanese women shared their surprising opinions about the attractiveness of Malaysian men.
The video, posted by @girlsinterviewjapan, shows the women being asked to choose which Asian country has the most handsome men. Like many others, they initially chose South Korea. However, as the interviewer continued to pair countries against one another, their choices took an interesting turn.
When asked to pick between South Korea and India, both women surprisingly chose India. But the moment that really grabbed attention was when Malaysia was put up against India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Without hesitation, the women selected Malaysia, much to the delight of Malaysian viewers.
Curious about their choice, the interviewer asked them to explain. One of the women mentioned that she found Malaysian men to have attractive facial features. The other added that she once saw a Malaysian guy on TikTok who looked "really cool," though she didn't reveal his username.
Their answers sparked a wave of excitement and amusement among Malaysian TikTok users, especially the men.
"Handsome, just born in the wrong country," joked one user in the comments, embracing the newfound international recognition. Another wrote,"Looks like I still have a shot overseas if things don't work out here!"
The clip also left many viewers wondering who the mysterious Malaysian TikToker was that made such a strong impression.
Whether it was the charm, the looks, or a bit of both, it's safe to say these Japanese women's comments gave Malaysian men a much-needed confidence boost and a few laughs in the process.
