Pemetaan Antropometri Wajah Berbasis Nilai Phi Golden Ratio sebagai Penentu Proporsi dan Estetika Visual

Studi Kasus Jin dan V BTS

Abstract

This study examines human facial proportions through an anthropometric approach based on the Phi value of the Golden Ratio (φ = 1.618) to understand the relationship between mathematical proportionality and visual aesthetics. The analysis focuses on two public figures, Jin and V of BTS, who are widely recognized as visual representatives within contemporary popular culture. Using two-dimensional anthropometric measurements, four primary facial aspects were evaluated: the facial length-to-width ratio, the proportional relationship between the forehead, nose, and chin, the eye–mouth–chin vertical proportion, and the alignment of eye width with interocular distance. Each measurement was compared to the Phi value to assess its degree of proportional conformity. The findings indicate that most facial ratios observed in both Jin and V closely approximate or match the Golden Ratio, with V exhibiting the highest precision in vertical proportional measurements, while Jin demonstrates more consistent overall proportional stability across multiple facial components. These results support the use of the Phi Golden Ratio as a mathematical indicator in assessing facial proportion and aesthetic harmony. Nevertheless, the study acknowledges that visual aesthetics remain inherently subjective and are influenced by cultural context and individual perception. Thus, anthropometric analysis based on the Golden Ratio can serve as a complementary tool in understanding human facial aesthetics.
