.He highlighted the importance of a professional production process and respect for team work time.

“From this production, we can also emulate a healthy form of production. Because some of the crew are from Korea and have working hours,” said Yusron Fuadi, as reported on the official website.

If it can be implemented widely in Indonesia, of course it would be very good.”You can make an entertaining film without making the crew cheat,” he explained.

He hopes that such a work pattern can become a new standard in Indonesian film production, so that quality can increase without sacrificing the welfare of the team.
Comparison of working hours in Indonesia and South Korea
Working hours have been something that media and creative industry workers have often focused on for a long time.Legal working hours in Indonesia are 40 hours per week.
This rule can be applied in two different schemes, namely 7 hours per day for 6 working days, or 8 hours per day for 5 working days.This rule is stated in Article 77 of the Job Creation Law and PP 35 of 2021.
However, the reality is that industry players work twice as much as is officially regulated.Based on the results of a survey of 401 people, 54.11 percent of respondents admitted to working 16-20 hours in one day during the shooting process.Prolonged work (overwork) is considered to be dangerous for the health and safety of film workers.
In 2022, the Media and Creative Industry Workers Union for Democracy (SINDICATION) and the Indonesian Cinematographers Society (ICS) published the position paper Agreed on 14: Advocacy for Limiting Working Time and Protecting the Rights of Indonesian Film Workers.
The position paper is a discussion of a series of problems experienced by film workers, especially during working hours, to solutions offered to related parties to overcome problems in the Indonesian film industry.
The position paper was prepared based on a survey of 401 respondents from the film workforce, representing directors, assistant directors, art directors, production designers and producers.
So, the position paper asks for time limits for film workers, namely a maximum of 14 hours a day.
This figure is actually still much higher than South Korea.Legal working hours in South Korea are 40 hours per week with a maximum extension of 12 hours.
But in reality, as reported
Korea Herald
on November 2 2025, creative industry production teams in Korea also worked more than regulated by law, namely an average of 49.9 hours in one week, based on the January-August 2024 survey.
Producers work the longest, namely 56 hours on average, followed by scriptwriters 52.6 hours, and 50.5 hours for art staff.When asked about the longest period of consecutive work, respondents’ average answer was 19.7 hours.
