TL;DR - The Most Awkward Conversations We Ever Had in Korea

[@raquelcaetano7810]

the face thing.. my guess is that actually she was telling you that you (Martina) are really pretty because it is known that if your face is symmetrical is more beautiful, hence more "even" (symmetrical) the prettier you are... so You are pretty and she is not xD that's my guess

[@clairvoyantPeach]

No, that's exactly what it is

[@MisuP]

*ORIGINAL* xD

[@AnnaPresman]

Huh, I'm Russian. I guess if I'm ever in Korea, I should lie about being Polish or something.

[@NK-rf4db]

Anna Presman OMG same here! you're not alone... every time I hear stories like this it makes me so angry and frustrated

[@extremeguy967]

+Anna Presman tbh I don't think there ever is a situation in which admitting to being Russian can be positive

[@cecilanahz]

russian girls always look pretty though

[@sashainomoto9412]

+Anna Presman XD Im russian and Japanese like MOST prejudiced races in Asia its terrible

[@PaweSawickiPL]

+Anna Presman could do haha

[@EHCBunny4real]

You two are such good storytellers.

[@nickelleismert4154]

Simon's story * dies *

[@SakuralovesSasuke141]

In American Sign Language that does mean Ketchup! xD Too funny.

[@josieb.5157]

I met a Korean guy once and he called me fat when I was wearing a puffy coat.

[@kennie39]

"you're like a rhombus" am i the only one that laughed really hard

[@sakuraMBLAQfinite]

Omo I said this too, I just saw your comment.:) I laughed so hard too because the image of a rhombus appeared in my head. So funny :)

[@clarence-theregularcat7708]

Now i imagine some korean guy and a girl sitting on sofa, both busy clapping one hand with the other. original.

[@송병근-o8d]

I think that Korean was maybe referring to Korean phrase 얼굴이 반반하다. It normally means that 'you got a beautiful face' but since 반 also means 'half', it could be translated as 'you got a face with equal even halves.' It's a little of a stretch here but I think only way I can think why Korean teacher emphasized evenness of faces so much times.

[@KiMuse]

LOl that was so funny "teacher you know~ Original~~~" lolololol

[@slypancake]

I love your glasses so much!!!

[@julianalombana8589]

If i am EVER able to make an english test, the first question is going to be -how do you introduce yourself? a) Hi how are you? b) hey. Do you come around here often? c) Hi. My face is uneven.

[@locrazychick10]

i was sitting on my couch sick feeling like crap, this vid made my day i feel better now thanks Simon & Martina ^^

[@MsOhhReally]

In some cultures facial beauty is based on angles and symmetry. So she was complimenting on how beautiful you are!

[@krisdeeee]

TLDR's are my favorite of all the types of videos you guys do! Thanks!

[@LeeLee-pk4ss]

You shake and shake the ketchup bottle none will come but then a lottle.

[@Vivian-pk7or]

haha YASS

[@j_yyh]

I finally know why i kept reading "simon and martina on running man!!!" I JUST found your youtube account + somehow completely didn't realize people meant the food tasting episode + wondered forever who simon & martina are. Now I know. I'm eternally apologetic because you guys are awesome.

[@IDrownedMyGoldfish]

I actually just realised this but I think the motion wasn't about the motion but actually about the sound. I suddenly remember my brother slapping his forearm to make the same sound to indicate sex haha

[@ANithaKOrintha869]

Lunar Here in Mexico it is like that lol both are recognized as naughty but the korean one is naughtiER 'cause of the sound lol

[@KPopSHINeeTaemin]

Bubz has the same glasses, Martina! And awesome video huys! I laughed so much! TLDR and Music Mondays are definitely my favorites from you guys:)

[@BabyBat14]

3:57 Omg this is so funny and iteresting! Here in Brazil we do this hand gesture when something bad happens/is about to happen. We only do this with friends, at least I don't feel confortable doing this in front of people that I don't know very well. Example: You take an F on a test. *Does the sign*. Note: It is kinda vulgar to do this sing if you aren't talking to a close person. It's funny how different some cultures can be, and I love to learn more about these things! ♥

[@eumesmooluiz]

OMG! Another nasty from Brazil!!! kkk

[@NathyIsabella]

pelo menos pelo que eu sei por aqui onde vivo tambem pode significar aquilo do video :P

[@BabyBat14]

Nathália Isabella Qual sua região? Haha Eu sou do sul! :v (Paraná)

[@NathyIsabella]

eu também :x hsuahsuhaushashu

[@NathyIsabella]

yay!

[@bbbbbblllaaaaa]

Thank you very much for every fun video!!

[@oceanprincess1122]

I lost it during Simons story 😂😂

[@MsAnna1997]

Simon's story is just brilliant!

[@Wei_Radula_Regiment]

Oh, my goodness! I was laughing so hard that I sounded like I was sobbing… and not just ordinary sobbing, but sobbing inconsolably! About the uneven face comment: As far as I know, it's pretty common throughout all Asian cultures to compliment others by belittling one's self. Actually, girls in the west do it a lot too, so it shouldn't be an alien concept. I think part of why your wedding ring didn't convince the old man is because in South Korea (and Japan), trendy young women seem to like wearing rings on their lefthand ring finger when they're not married.

[@MsLansones]

I recently subbed and I swear I cannot stop watching. I absolutely LOVE your videos.. I catch myself LOL'ing.

[@Rooster_Rachel]

Isn't that an EXO reference at the beginning? About his pants? I just heard the tone and it sounded like What is Love......yup it is a reference....

[@nutrinogirl456]

Yes, its an EXO reference

[@jordan625]

I was waiting on someone to catch the reference as well

[@raquelmassanet2803]

you guys are awsome. i've sort of had my own personal marathon of your shows these past two days. they were so much fun. i watched them out of order, 'cause i watched them as i found them. but i have a question, do you guys still live in korea? i know your not teachers anymore, i'm sorry if it is rude, but what do you do now? i think i would do almost anything to go to korea and japan. if i wasn't in a wheelchair. i loved watching your videos. God bless you both, keep them coming.

[@PaweSawickiPL]

it's funny how Naga means 'nude' in polish xD

[@Caine1986]

+Paweł Sawicki It's mean dragon in Malay . LoL

[@Caine1986]

+Paweł Sawicki It's mean dragon in Malay . LoL

[@yelly11]

It means nude in serbian too 😂😂

[@marsamet128]

Naaaagaaaaaa ;3

[@grape1829]

Such a great episode!

[@PaweSawickiPL]

4:40 - maybe it's just the sound lol

[@nancyalegria93]

Oh Gosh! I love you guise so much!!! When I'm having a bad day like today I watch this video. Lmfao I just love how "ORIGINAL" it is 😂😂😂

[@DRAGONFANG18]

Heinz Ketchup is the original ketchup!

[@ky00li0]

Oh my god. Your videos just made my day

[@sazji]

They use that slapping the palm gesture in Turkey too. It's the sound. :) If you did the finger in the hole gesture, it would probably refer to...the back door...:)

[@LemnzestManatee]

I love how you do your pink eyeshadow. I have been trying to replicate it, but to no avail. Can you please do a pink eyeshadow tutorial as your next video on "Open the Happy"?

[@4_sparks_4]

Is it a ketchup bottle! LOL XD 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@kiriny6389]

i miss videos like theseeee

[@KaleidoscopeEffect]

There's a saying that people with even faces are more attractive than those with uneven faces. It's like they appreciate faces symmetry xD

[@sephkurai]

Even so it's weird to go up to someone and say "Hi, I'm ugly. You are pretty."

[@KaleidoscopeEffect]

well that's true lol *****

[@dahlers]

I love your hair Martina!!

[@souyonshim8334]

She was trying to tell you that you look tired. Which is showed on your face, your face is unevent, that was a way of saying you're tired in korea.

[@ohdaUtube]

I had no idea. I thought it was about whether someone's face was symmetrical or not

[@L9210L]

Martina love your glasses!!!

[@GisellaDenise7]

"Hi! My face is uneven" hahahaah

[@Starlightean]

I'm on a TL;DR binge! I love tldr!

[@lilmisskawaii230991]

The action in 4:50.... Wasn't that... Ahem, fapping? xD

[@1307mimi]

love you guys you are hilarious!

[@incilayugur36]

LOL that thing wıth the hands the students hand sign for the thing hahaha in my country ( turkey) that means :in an argument yeah suck it I'm right

[@lmeaey]

I love your glasses, Martina!!

[@dakitticat]

Thanks a lot, you've officially ruined the word "original" for me >:| Now whenever I watch or listen to Super Junior's song A-Cha, I can't get through Eunhyuk's little part (about 2/3 through) with a straight face XD damn youuu.

[@L3oRar3D3f3nd3r]

XD at first when simon said those students just ruined the word 'original', i was like "i don't think so -_- whatever~~", and the i read your comment about eunhyuk's part and i was like " OMGGGG!!!! BWAHAHAHAAHA!!!!! it is RUINEDDDD!!! i just can't... >< XD XP" (i'm an ELF)

[@dakitticat]

Yeah! I didn't even realize that it had stuck in my mind until I was watching the A-Cha video a couple days ago, and suddenly started alternately laughing and groaning at Hyukkie x3 I'm an ELF too, and I already knew that you are one because I've seen your videos around :3

[@L3oRar3D3f3nd3r]

ohh!! haha XD and btw since you are sj's fan too so you must know well enough that our eunhyukkie is being called 'yadong mania' so that just made the word 'original' much screwed up~ :D

[@dakitticat]

L3oRar3D3f3nd3r pfahahahaha xD I actually didn't know that, but it's great, haha. TOTALLY fits with that idea :P

[@eggaccount4986]

you guys are so awesome! :D

[@kronickingpin]

i dident know they were married i thought Simon was gay

[@49aadil]

Omg hahaha

[@mellyru7289]

kronickingpin loooool me to, I've found it out today and I was shocked hahahah

[@behindthescenesofmee]

I love how your videos are so ORIGINAL~ xD

[@jae3712]

Oh well I am pretty sure she was talking about face proportions when she said her face is uneven. In Korea, it's considered very lucky to have an 'even' or 'proportional' face, where everything simply... looks right, i guess? It's like, your nose doesn't override everything because it's so huge, or your lips aren't too wide or too small, your eyes aren't too far apart and etc. It's very symmetrical, is kind of the gist. It's just a very nice face, really. Having an uneven face basically means it's un-proportionate ratios and such.... XD LOL. I'm almost totally sure that's what she meant, so basically what she was trying to say was that you have a very beautiful face. In korean, telling someone they have a proportional face is simply a compliment on how nice each feature compliments the others.

[@phishfoodfreak]

This is my favorite TL;DR. EVER.

[@snowboarder0219]

Its not naga... well that means to leave but to say get the hell away from me its "꺼저"

[@agustinusherlambang]

Pronunciation : GaJa

[@camrynpak8148]

Calla Sky noo.. gaga means let's go.. 꺼져 is pronounced, "gguhjuh"

[@agustinusherlambang]

***** oh.. KouJyou...?

[@bbbbbblllaaaaa]

You guys are so FUN!!!!!!

[@BFZ17]

OMGosh old men always ask me if i'm from Russian ! :-O I mean not in the street but when i buy something or when i went to make my shoes repaired... But i don't wear sexy clothes, i'm not even tall-beautiful-blond-sexy style... >

[@J2Jadeady]

Wooho! Love this couple!

[@zilingloo9769]

I think the VP probably meant that you dont have a flat face? Like you have high nose bridge/cheekbones?? I think Asians prefer faces like this since they look more 3D and tend to have a better side profile but we Asians often tend to have a flatter face compared to Westerners

[@IceMaiden2i3]

I really like your hair Martina!!!!

[@davidducky8510]

original xD

[@VisenyaTargaryen1]

Hi! I would like a video all about Simon and his story and only Simon 😁😜

[@Elizabeth83500]

now original is also ruined for me lol. do Koreans have like a fixed view on non Koreans ? like you`d say "i`m from Hawaii" and they`d assume you surf and run around in grass skirts all day ?

[@MADEbySOUL]

People in the US think that. When I meet people and I tell them I'm from California, they assume all of California is Hollywood.

[@sweetlyluv8603]

A lot of people from different countries tend to think of the stereotypes. I don't think the nationality is the one causing it, but the way the person was raised. ^.^

[@devinwintz7963]

I tell people I'm from Indiana and they either say "where's that" or. they think I said india

[@MalaTang-419]

Martina I just love your glasses

[@arlyndian3571]

LOL "original"

[@PoppyDada27]

Oh my god. LOVE your glasses M!

[@postpunkpastor]

Roaming randomly on KZbin, I discovered your videos. I thought Simon was gay, and surprised to find you are a married couple. I thought about it, and I consider gays generally friendly. Canadians, to we Americans, are pleasantly yet surprisingly friendly. Then I realized, "Wow, we Americans must be real jerks". How embarrassing.

[@ninjapato]

If you ask foreigners to compare the two... they will tell you canadians are nice and pleasant even when angry while americans are the opposite. i've worked in a call center and grew up in the states. the difference is clearly marked. sorry :-\

[@1withwolves]

so i went to a meeting today for work and they said original idea and i did the ahnd motion under the table and tried to keep from laughing out loud.THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!i can now enjoy meetings .:D

[@mellowyellow532]

i am russian yaay im apparently im a prostitue

[@littlerone555]

I'm new to watching your videos and i have to say you guys are hilarious. But when did you stop teaching?

[@JaffeGiraffee]

Original ಡ౪ಡ ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ

[@afafe001]

[@gunha9]

Cool! I live in Marietta, GA.

[@TigerFriberg]

Martina, I am LOVING your new glasses.

[@lumimuori]

omg this video is one of your best, totally made me laugh !

[@Just999Me]

aw I love how Simon says "Yes, love" your experiences kill me every time. no matter how many times i go back to watch these videos I still end up laughing just as much as the first time.

[@olgak9768]

guys you are greattt always make me laugh and have a good time watching your vids^^/

[@nerdynyancatt]

I love your glasses! :)

[@Adieos]

I read this so many times just to understand and then it hit me! Hahaha thanks for explaining!!!!

[@oOshikamaruloverOo]

It was so cute when Simon said "Yes love" to Martina! You guys are awesome and I hope one day I'll be in a relationship likes yours where we can be huge dorks together! Love your videos! :)

[@EllisPadilla]

Hey guys! Just to let you know that you that you have fans from P.R. And that you guys always make me smile, thanks!

[@Suertsje]

^ ^ love your eye make-up martina!

[@Embarr]

I don't know how, but I immediately recognized that hand gesture. :O Anyway, I understood the whole even and uneven face thing. It's a universal human trait to find a more symmetrical face more attractive. Thanks for these awesome videos!

[@Le_Vang]

this made my day :)

[@Ieripk]

@3:14 Simon you already told us that story, but I happily listened to it again and it was very funny, once again. lol

[@MrsHermesa]

yeah, wanna know too !

[@ashwithapurpose]

martina where did you get your glasses??! love em =D

[@alexChenAUS]

oh ok... cool thanks, was just wondering coz i've heard it used before

[@miyualice]

I just bought those too! :))) mine is red and black

[@jennifertran6173]

Martina: MY FACE IS UNEVEN! Me : dieing of laughing too much

[@raquelmassanet2803]

[@linditatunuzliult]

[@MissGrellSutcliff]

Oh my Claude, those glasses. They're amazing!!!!!

[@ketichini2]

I loved those books!

[@xxtiney5428]

oh gahd simon this and the "size" in your other tldr video is just hilarious

[@KareenLuvMooMoo]

OMG WHAII DIDNT YOU FILM IT, MARTINA?!?! xD you make it sound so funny lolz :P

[@milkywayxx1]

Now that it's mentioned, Martina's face IS very symmetrical! No wonder why she's so gorgeous! I actually heard about some formula about how the more symmetrical someone's face is, the more appealing it is to the eye.

[@IcePrincess642]

I love your glasses, Martina!!!

[@nessa-marks]

I just saw Bubbi wear those glasses and I knew you had posted a pic with them too!

[@moonshine26]

I CAN'T BREATHE 'YOU KNOW, TEACHER, YOU KNOW/ ORIGINAL' (bawling eyes out from hysterical laughter)
