I wonder when the interviewer finally realized that their channel isn't about kimchi.

[@kristinlucianoo]

It's so weird to hear Simon talking so quietly 😂😭

[@rimazarif8545]

true

[@mummibones]

+kristinlucianoo haha THAT'S what was different. i couldn't quite put my finger on it lol

[@cely45679]

This has to be some type of foreshadowing …

[@bybeebooks]

Simon and Martina were so much more comfortable than the interviewer, and it's her show!

[@realkhumanbean]

This interviewer's interview prowess is so strong that it puts grass to sleep.

[@revinaque1342]

This is so surreal. It's like Simon and Martina in an alternate universe! :P

[@waru5895]

"we dont want to lose you to another asian country" lol the segment for this interview would be "And where are Simon and Martina today?" hahaha😂😂😂

[@KhalidAun1]

Mari ** Lmao that's funny because thye did lose them to another asian country, Japan haha but Japan seems better in my opinion.

[@soshiangel90]

I'm finally watching this almost a year and a half after discovering and loving EYK and I am realizing why they stopped doing videos and interviews like these. Much of the interview was "tell us how Korea is great" though not as blunt. This is also such a serious interview it's hard to watch when I'm used to how crazy S&M are.

[@neogeo2040]

I TOTALLY, TOTALLY love you guys... Thank you very much for all the hard work you've been doing. For letting us know you by sharing who you are and your experiences. You are a blast of human beings. Really, really thank you... muchas gracias... 감사합니다

[@whiterosepinklily]

The Interviewer doesn't get it..does she?

[@JazzA4u]

I hope you two never give up on Korea. I think this journey has brought you here with reason. If EatYourKimchi ever stops it will be a sad sad day.

[@jravidal16]

This was on 2011 and now you have a coffee shop now you never going to be out of Korea jojojo.... I'm so happy that you had came a long way,..

[@MyDearKyoKun]

Thank you for taking your time making videos for us! I really enjoy watching them with my friends and always look forward to the next Monday in stead of dreading it.

[@lauurzagaste4292]

you must have felt important there kekek you deserve it guys, well done

[@luvsign1]

Well done Simon and Martina! You answered the questions and were very well spoken. Two thumbs up.

[@Kase_K]

So that's your last name...... Just imagining how this interview would have gone if all the nasty slang were around back then. "So, I see you have a popular segment called 'W.A.N.K.' Please, tell me about it....what was your inspiration?"

[@nabihanasir5199]

Lolikr

[@danielepala1132]

HAHAHAHAHA bro :'D

[@jwkim5050]

Just to let u guys know simon and martina, while you do your fair amount of poking and provoking of us from time to time, S. Korea still loves for what you do, with your humor and positivism, and I have a feeling the world appreciates it as well. Keep up the good work !!

[@AashiquiDevi]

Take 3 shots every time the interviewer says kimchi.

[@MaggieKSullivan]

You guys are so cool and down to Earth. :) ♥ Love you both~! :D

[@nicolequek8]

HELLO INTERVIEWER. Eatyourkimchi ain't about kimchi and food seriously

[@Meeowrawr]

I smiled when you mentioned 2NE1 and Big Bang. Couldn't agree more! The reply you gave was spot on really hope they will debut in America one day

[@kawaiime6345]

the interviewer keeps asking about kimchi!lol

[@Odysseus_Outis]

i wouldn't regret to say that Korea is definitely lucky to have you two,, and you guys are really lucky to have a chance to pull out the amazing talents within,, which everybody enjoys to be connected with.

[@pepsipark4081]

11:40 OH I AM LOVING YOU MENTIONED GAIN. And brownie points for mentioning Irreversible as well, which is a masterpiece in itself:)

[@GeeClef64]

Wow! You two COMPLETELY amaze me. I have been a fan ever since your first videos a few years ago. You two really inspire me to go to Korea. thank you so much!

[@MEALIVEUDEAD]

What's with the "Martina and Simon couple" why the couple and why at the end... it is so weird...

[@catbc]

Guys! I feel such a strong connection to your story! You both moved to Korea 2 months after I did and, at least for me and for you as well, that choice to move to teach english in Korea totally changed my life. I only taught there for one year but, in that time, I met the love of my life, he moved to Canada and we now own a Korean import shop in Korea town in Toronto. I love your videos and love what you do!

[@vanillagrasses123]

I absolutely agreed with what Martina said at the end.

[@ughkook]

In Florida I bought this Korean channel which came with KBS world and arirang and I used to watch heart to heart all the time~!!

[@LittleSal1]

The interviewer seems so uncomfortable compared to Simon and Martina. They have a relaxed, conversational tone, while she sounds so scripted and awkward.

[@aixita12]

Simon and Martina, you guys are awesome. I have always loved Korean culture and thought no one else did until I came upon one of your videos a year ago. It's so great to see so many people with the same passion that I have. You guys made me love Korea even more now. Thanks to you guys I have something to watch and make Mondays awesome and now Wednesdays as well. I hope you continue what you're doing and not feel pressured, but know that many love you and that watching your videos means so much

[@sunnyismybias9858]

Says they are leaving in a year or 2....almost 4 years late. LOL

[@BluePisces1]

I ran across Martina and Simon's videos purely by accident. I saw one video and I was hooked! My daughter is dating a Korean guy (He was adopted and raised in the US) and I was curious about the Korean people. So, after a few videos regarding Korea, I ran across Martina and Simon. I have since subscribed to their videos and look towards watching them all :)

[@nixxi1]

This interviewer...ugh.i can't.

[@flip4v]

idk if u guys will c this but simon and martina thank you so much for spending so much time on ur videos!!

[@carlchoi6047]

This interviewer did not do her homework and was poorly prepped.

[@misscandyeyes]

When Simon said he's his family is from Poland, my heart stopped because I'm from Poland too and I LOVE bigos!!!

[@trogdorthe8th]

This interviewer just didn't get it, especially during the part of the interview where they talked about who would make it abroad. She was salty as hell when they said that SNSD wouldn't make it in the west, specifically breaking out into Western entertainment. They were completely right, and everything they said was correct. While talented and a fantastic K-Pop group, they have always been so blended, with no particular break out member, so it didn't work when they tried. I feel like the interviewer had her own ideas of each question she asked them, rather than being objective in the interview she wanted to mold it to her views on the topics at times. I can see why they stopped doing these types of interviews.

[@theicesk8r]

you two are truly amazing! i never really realized how much effort each video took, thank you so much :]

[@sosmcs]

I don't like the interviewer and I don't like how she said her foreign friends spend all their time in Itaewon in a really condescending way.. I don't live in korea but the vibe that I get from all the videos I watch bout it, is that korean people look down on non-koreans.. And btw the interviewer needs to work on her transitions from one question to the other

[@danielepala1132]

she's hot tho lol

[@sojutime]

She looks like she's been under the knife several times.

[@jkready111]

I have been following your blog since you posted your first video filmed at a family restaurant at the basement of your apartment. It has become my impulse every Monday to check your blog for updates and so several times in a week. Thanks for your effort to create something fun and informational for all the viewers around the world including me, and I hope you guys base in Korea for years to come and keep producing great videos. A message to Arirang TV: Hire these guys full-time already!!

[@harrycoplin8414]

Are Simon And Martina going to have children? just curious? It's been 5 years since this video and I'm just wandering whether they still plan on having children. I understand that this may be a sensitive topic for them and I'm not trying to pressurise them to do anything.

[@typical_snowflake]

I think this is a very sensitive topic, and that's totally their business. Martina's syndrome is a lot more difficult to live that we can see on their videos. Having a baby with her disease is complicated and can have consequences on both mother and child health. Pregnancy is not impossible but can be difficult and painful. I hope they will find a way to be parents if it's their wish. Love you guys stay strong like you are

[@bladepanthera]

(condition/syndrome rather than disease)

[@notafangirl]

Oh my gosh! You guys are on TV that is so awesome! I'm glad you two are doing so well in life and love each other so much.

[@almightysue2274]

Awful interviewer. I could see that both Simon And Martina were relaxed and being all cheery but the interviewer just had to be so stiff, making the atmosphere so awkward and tensed.

[@triggersnapped]

Congrats guys you guys are doing so well! I discovered your blog about a week ago and been rewatching old Eps as well as telling my expat Korean friends. Am heading to S Korea for a month in Dec - you guys are doing a great job at psyching me up. Kudos from Australia! x

[@CAstaNedaA100]

20 minutes talking about kimchi.....

[@kyoungeunn]

i literaally watched all of simonandmartina's video BEFORE going to Korea! it helped me SO much! from public transit(T-money) to cafes(giocat) I went to all where you guys have been to! thanksthanksthanks you guys are so lucky to have the opportunities to teach in Korea and also share lots of things about Korea >

[@CandiceKALee]

what a horrible host.. she could have gotten so much more interesting interview from Simon and Martina

[@egmjag]

Not too many people can say that they're doing what they love and that they don't have to follow a certain routine like getting up early and having report to someone. Very commendable and brave to follow your desire and take big risks. But the couple is also very natural and good at this. Seems like they were born to do this. The woman is very, very cute in her demeanor and dress. There's so much positive energy in what they do.

[@KhoiFeesh527]

ummmm...I don't like the interviewer... this interview could've been so much more interesting but instead it was very dry and awkward!

[@bipolarpanicdisorder]

You are both so awesome!

[@chanhao7774]

we want to settle down our business first before bringing another human to the Earth

[@ErikinaDaisy]

Dear Simon and Martina, I'm from Canada too! Yay! I want to tell you both that I respect you so so much. You have such courage and a beautiful love of life that just shines off your faces! I am inspired by what you do. You have taken your interests and hobbies and turned it into a way of life. You both are beautiful people and I am definitely jealous. Please stay happy! You make me very proud to be Canada. Hope I can visit Korea some day =) - Erikina

[@YGfamLOVE]

Amazing interview... I love this.

[@teddybun10]

Oh guys I fell in love, thank you so much for making this blog and having this interview. I'm probably gonna check your blog out now (backtracking A LOT) and even enjoy anything Korean stuff your posted (when I initially came here for the kpop stuff) Love for UK!

[@queenyyb11]

i'm so happy and proud of you guys! i also envy how you guys also have taken ur passion and dream and are turning into reality! i hope you guys get all the love and support cause you guys deserve all of it! keep it up!

[@mrumno]

So your response to the question about the child, was soo smart. You guys make the cutest couple and balance each other perfectly. :) Best wishes!

[@PLynPurple]

You guys have got the exact reasons why I LOVE BIG BANG AND 2NE1 which I always wanted to tell everyone why I LOVE them but I still couldn't use my words to say it out loud.

[@lemignonha]

.... It takes you that long to film a K-pop Music Monday?! *bows*.... You two are soooo awesome!!! I've learned so much from your blog! Thank you for sharing your fruits of creativity with us!

[@brokkenmask]

EY! that's so cool! you're appearing more and more in these tv shows! hope you guys had fun! the hostess seems really sweet.

[@LwwlL]

I love you guys~ Seriously, you are so dedicated and making videos takes so long time, but you still are doing it!! You guys are awesome!!!

[@nanbam123]

Full time blogging!!! Heck yes!! You guys deserve a way bigger fan base.

[@GoOLu93]

[@calmmorningdew]

Great interview with two of my fave KZbin personalities that showed a different side to the couple.

[@Inchonseoul]

Awesome couple, you guys are great and so,,,lovely, all the best to you!. Your fan, from u.s

[@ketoabigail3306]

Grats guys on coming so far. You really are inspirational!

[@JamConcerned]

Korea is growing and changing rapidly. It's an exciting time so I think they will be there forever.

[@Cyllene1203]

I stumbled across simon&martina on you-tube totally by accident and after watching the Kpop video for that Monday got totally addicted to the music. Now I'm a huge Kpop fan (esp. YG artists .. you guys are spot on about their appeal). I don't know if you guys realize this, but you are helping to build a bridge for the industry to get their music out there :D

[@WolveyShanz]

yeah! im a singaporean! love them and the spudgeh!

[@AdamosGirl]

Congratulations guys! This is awesome. I'm so happy ur getting much deserved publicity. Loved that interview. I wish I could meet u guys. I may be from Texas but Korea is my life

[@3DVinci]

[@magnes1410]

Oh my God! Simons' family is from Poland and he's talking about bigos :D What a huge surprise for me because I love eatyourkimchi for a long time and just now I find out about something like that. You make my day!

[@CornPoppy010]

OMG, congratulation to you ^^ I never knew that your blogging and making videos are taking so much time. thank you for your effort. Im Korean, but i live in Germany. Watching your video means a lot to me. I miss Korea so much and watching your videos feels like having a piece of Korea here in German :)

[@PowerCardio]

I loved seeing that more personnal side of yours! Continue your good job and you'll be able to live off your worldwide fans!

[@maryyaaj]

[@Bluetoo94]

Just stumbled across this. It's so interesting to watch such an old interview.

[@oscarfunghohin]

This is so cool. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! I'm learning introductory Korean in Australia, Sydney and after watching this and seeing your passion, it made me all the more wanting to go to Korea. Maybe after my Korean gets better, I will come over and drop by and say hi and thank you for giving me a segway into Korean culture and lifestyle, SimonandMartina and EatYourKimchi HWAITING!!!

[@tina92maria]

I'm so proud of you guys!!! Hope you have a very nice and happy life doing whatever you like the most! ♥

[@ashleeldixon]

i'm so happy to see you guys getting the recognition you deserve. you have such fun and likeable personalities and really provide foreigners with a great view of korean culture. i totally agree with your opinion of YG entertainment, btdubs. :D

[@musicfreakk7]

it was so interesting, thanks for sharing :) All the best for you Simon and Martina! :)

[@Rockwithme192]

They are what I want my marriage to be like! Best Friends and just having fun with life! Simon and Martina, You guys have really pushed me into wanting this dream of becoming an English teacher in Korea to come true! I would change my career choice ALL the time until I found you guys! Although I just want College to be done with now, MMs always welcome me for the busy week to come and put a smile on my face as I get ready for school. All I want to say is, 감사합니다.

[@Geallach83]

If I see you guys in Seoul or someplace in Korea, I will definitely walk up to you guys and I'll say thank you for all the awesome LOL moments you give us. ^^

[@AnimeSerafin]

Not quite it, Nobiya Ri and you are both right. I am from Germany too and you can get the channel here, as in many countries around the world and it also is for Koreans, just as you said. Their slogan is "Korea for the World, the World for Korea" which explains it very well.

[@RonandHerm]

awesome great to hear your story and how you started

[@LHJae13]

you guys are the best!

[@MarielleMify]

wow! I´ll enter to ads more often from now on becuase I dont want you guys to stop!! I love your videos and Spugy! ^^

[@bemchgo]

I am quite new to the wonderful world of Kpop - I only discovered it about November last year as a result of watching Boys Over Flowers. I loved the music they used in the show and started looking on iTunes where an entirely new musical genre presented itself to me!! Somehow I stumbled upon BigBang's 'Stupid Liar' and I've been hooked ever since. I am not subscribed to those pages, but I will do it shortly. Thanks for the advice.

[@doristolatae59]

after watching this interview, i luv u all even more.. i haven't been to korea but definitely i will wish to visit it.. eatyourkimchi, fighting!
