Tour of our Korean Officetel

[@InternetFad]

Going down memory lane. These two gave us so much.

[@sarahmo9708]

Mee toooo

[@artaizen1613]

suddenly this sat on my recommendation. I just want to hope they had a peaceful separation. but it seems the internet goers gonna spill fuel anyways

[@anntastic1501]

same :(

[@BritneyC1993]

Same. 🥺

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

💔

[@TheCardboardPizza]

To think I watched this while getting ready to go to high school, and I'm a grown ass man now. You both gave us so much. I feel like I grew up with you two. You were very influential for me.

[@heroino89]

Apparently KZbin is recommending this to all of us again. It's nice to see them so happy :-)

[@schneedgod]

Despite all the shit going on with them, I still go back and watch these videos. I really grew up with these videos and them. I'll really miss this. There's nothing quite like the vibes 2011-2018 EYK gives.

[@fredstolemysocks2]

Such a throwback. Now you own a home in Japan. A WHOLE HOUSE! What an upgrade!

[@HannahRulzzzzzz]

They don't own the house in Japan though they are renting it.

[@BrittanyIttany]

Now they are back in Canada 🇨🇦

[@SherioCheers]

such a throwback... now they're divorced!

[@jannettesjournal]

@@SherioCheers and now just Martina is back in Japan!

[@davidmay465]

I’m watching this video again (probably the fourth time in the past 8 years or so) on 1.1.21. What a journey that you have been on. Thank you for sharing your lives with us for all these years. 💙

[@jhardy6154]

😞 Why is KZbin recommended so sad. How was this 10yrs ago 😩 I'm getting old!

[@corgichu6812]

Ten years, a global pandemic, and one divorce later. Crazy to think how much has changed

[@hambone.fakenamington]

Feels real bittersweet watching this now. Look at lil Spudgey waddlin around tho.

[@OtakuMarnie]

Why is this super old video all of a sudden recommended to me? 😂😅

[@Tharrel]

This video makes me sad, knowing how it all ended. As a divorced man myself, I can’t imagine having so much online content from my past relationship.

[@juandiegodelpozomaruri4287]

The first EYK video I ever saw, I was doing some research about places to live near Bucheon, and what impact me the most was your one of a kind dog, I had never seen a dog with a mohawk before, let alone a green one; and ever since I became a fan of that b-e-a-utiful dragon. Rest in peace Spudgy, I'll see you in heaven.

[@cee5014]

Wow watching this now feels SO nostalgic 😩 I was just starting college when this came out, and I used to watch them everyday after school (I’m now 24 lol) Thank you for getting me through my teens years EYK 🥺🤞🏽

[@sakuraelizondo5379]

I was 11 when this came out, and I was so excited for them. Now I'm 21 and not only have they come so far but the culture in the countries they lived in also changed so much. This is crazy, love y'all just as much as I did 10 years ago.

[@Omomoification]

it's fun watching this after watching your house (!) tour vid in japan! what a difference. still exciting to watch again five years later haha. oh well. I'm not alone.

[@anuka5336]

Wooow such a throwback. KZbin decided I needed to see this again😂 damn just realised how long I've been watching🤯

[@eatyourkimchi]

@CrunchyTofu Yes, the rent is mad cheap but the $9000.00 deposit is not. You have to put that down upfront, no payments monthly. Just a huge chunk of money. :P

[@eatyourkimchi]

@Caroliya13 You're right, but we had to delete the video because the audio was off and people kept emailing us to fix the video, so we finally re-made the tour. I think it's at least higher quality then our digital point-and-shoot camera tour!

[@eatyourkimchi]

@GothVamp669 We don't know American currency. We're Canadian. In Korean currency, our place has a 10,000,000 won deposit, and costs 600,000 won a month, as well as costing roughly 120,000 won a month for utilities.

[@susanazarhov1985]

still miss you both

[@eatyourkimchi]

@kawaiidayo123 Simon is married to me, so his VISA status is as a "dependent" on me and my VISA. But you have to be really married, not just dating.

[@gavenfan2354]

that view from their apartment is amazing！！！

[@eatyourkimchi]

It was epic! Bucheon Central Park, and by the time we left Bucheon for Seoul, the park had a facelift with beautiful paths and adorable LED lights!

[@eatyourkimchi]

@LeonLovesIt I was into BOF when I first arrived in Korea. It was the first Korean drama I ever saw! I was shocked because Lee Min Ho's face was plastered all over Korea in donut shops, soup stores, cell phone shops, beauty shops.... :D

[@karinross66]

OMG. The difference between you both then vs now. Guess I should go back and start at the beginning, could keep me busy for months!

[@eatyourkimchi]

@hijabeeinkorea Well, we're married, so they had to look for schools that were close to each other and had married couples before. For your case, I would suggest just being in the same area and then seeing if you can forfeit one of your apartments and move into the same place (in which you collect the rent money from your school which can be stated in your contract), but I honestly don't know if your contract will be similar to ours or not. Hope that helps!

[@eatyourkimchi]

@aznawzao102 Ha! I'm not even sure if our new place will have a TV...

[@JaffeGiraffee]

Simon looks like he's in a dollhouse when he's upstairs XD

[@eatyourkimchi]

@residentevil4life Ha! Yes! People have been asking us to fix that video forever. Now they can stop!

[@MartaGee]

hello from the year 2020! staying up late doing some landscaping on my island in Animal Crossing and i wanted to listen/watch something that makes me happy that ive seen before so i can still focus on my game and decided to watch vintage EYK videos. ❤️ no matter whats going on now in 2020, both Simon and Martina should STILL be incredibly proud of the content and community they built and continue to build (despite some changes but whatever- fan for life!). CHEERS TO YOU BOTH and rest in peace Spudgy the best boi in the world who lives on forever in these videos and in our hearts 💚 🐉

[@FlowerChild65]

I will NEVER complain about my house being too small again. Also the upstairs look like it's made for a Barbie.

[@samuelarango4809]

Blast from the past right?!? So cute how grateful y'all are

[@nnbk_fornow]

I remember you guys doing a video of your apartment a couple of years ago. Glad to see that you guys have made the place seem more homely and have more of your personality.

[@tylerchannell6868]

I am going to miss you guys so much. I remember asking what you guys liked to I can send you a care package. Good times. I'll support you both, but it still sucks that I can't see you guys together. Wish you all the best on your new adventures. You'll always be couple goals for me regardless of the outcome. All the best.

[@JoseRodriguez-lq3gu]

It felt weird Martina introducing Kogi. Like a little window into the future.

[@GrungeSaaR]

I love your upstaris! My cousin used to have one too, but that was a long time ago. I've only wished for an upstairs like that for ever!

[@elliepandalover]

Thanks KZbin for pushing this throwback recommendation 😅

[@melanieeatsghosts]

It's so crazy looking back now and seeing how things have changed! Your style has always remained 🙆

[@Janesmall]

This got recomended to me today, such a bittersweet watching this... I want to thank you both, I learned so much from your videos about Korea and its culture (and kpop) before I got the guts to live in Korea by myself. Being a loyal follower for years I just hope you are doing well, both of you 🤞

[@purrball16]

I love ur apartment. Its small but it seems so cosy and the view is amazing. The big window in the main room really helps.. i think. I like how martina has stickers and cute things all over the place! especially the cupcake cupboards! haha. Cute!

[@Zeighla]

I'm so happy you've guys have been able to get where you are today with you fancy apartment and EYK studio

[@ladyonedulu]

Forever gonna miss them like this. 🥺Still gonna support and love you guys though!! ❤️😘

[@Ale_X99]

Super old video recommended. And i remember when it first came out... Oh shit im old.

[@arcy-z5o]

jesus i remember when this was posted DAMN

[@eatyourkimchi]

Damn this was a long time ago!

[@CarlGorn]

They do, although they're typically marketed as condos, so you can't rent them, you have to buy. A bunch of them went up recently in the Minneapolis area.

[@kristinesharp6286]

Glad it is up. Still best officetel Korea tour out there.

[@KCYB22]

loving the gd and top background...and of course martina has the one of top facing forward

[@CarlGorn]

Living right across the street from the park, nice. My wife & I have a similar setup where there's a park 3 meters from our back door. It's a small park, but we've seen hawks, deer, & other wildlife in it, which is pretty cool.

[@evildesu]

You know this video is old when you see an all-white Spudgy and a wild Martina with no pink in her hair... But omg I remember you guys living here! I watched a couple of your videos when you still lived here ;3

[@whiteserenity]

Wowwwww I haven't seen this video before and I think I became a fan in 2012? Spudgy with no green or blue looks like a baby ♥️miss you buddy. proud of how far you guys came today!!

[@whoajulie]

Yeah!! We want a video of how you guys met and how your wedding was and see your wedding pictures ~*~*~*~*~*~**~

[@JenniferKim319]

Hahahaha, so cool! I remember before, my two Korean uncles lived in one of these 'officetels' together in Suwon and it was basically exactly like your guys' apartment. A small living area, kitchen, and bathroom, with a very short upstairs to sleep in^^ I was entertained by the small stairs and small upstairs room :3

[@wildduck32]

This video reminds me so much of Korea!! Thanks for sharing guys:) and just to add on, the closer to Seoul and downtown Seoul u get the less space bang for your buck. Most of my friends didn't have that awesome upstairs area.

[@dawnmcclay821]

Just came from Jenna marbles sad sad video. Had to come over here for some good throwback vibes. Can't wait for you guys to return. Totally ok bing watching some of the oldies :)

[@bri8934]

Yall have grown so much as creators! Be proud of everything you've done.

[@KawaiiCoverGirl]

Omg How cute isn´t the "upstairs"! I want one like that when ever I move to Korea.

[@eatyourkimchi]

@inmylovefantasy We can't get to it from the outside...well, we can, but not without falling to our deaths.

[@manuelam2172]

This brings back memories, one of the first videos I have seen 😎

[@HellraizerKaizerin]

"If you're gonna buy stuff, it might as well be cute." Oh my god, I live by this~!

[@godlove2011a]

u guys rock!!! thanks for showing your apt. i always wondered what it looked like. i like that it has stairs to the 2ndfl in your unit

[@milenaru6207]

Guys, great video! But.. the resemblance that the drawing in 3:33 has with Kylo Ren!! XD Epic!!!

[@tokee1234567]

@HeavenlyMakeUp in some areas in Canada, Apartments are temporary housing before people move onto houses or townhouses. In Korea the only type of housing people will ever have are apartments, therefore, it needs to be well furnished or provided.

[@yarahalabi9714]

I love this offictel, it's so cozy. I wish it had alittle more space though

[@iAmSHINee5]

You Guys are the best,Happiest,and Cutest Couple I Ever Saw in my Whole Life !

[@xkimmyyoung]

How much were you guys paying a month, I think it's a good space if it's only 1 person.

[@itsBananaaaaaa]

Mi Young I think its perfect for two! My bf and I live in a much much MUCH smaller apartment so this seems like a luxury! It all depends on who you're living with and your comfort zone.

[@yivmaiden]

@@itsBananaaaaaa well, Simon is a giant person.

[@puppylover369]

The video that got me into them was the flower boy one. I was watching Boys over Flowers then (I think) and was confused about the term "flower boy" so I looked it up on Google and guess who popped up! Oh, those were the days (actually, it was only last summer, but I still knew them b4 they got their studio so ha!)

[@candy1bar]

Cute!! :) I always wondered what was upstairs! This is actually bigger than I thought. I didn't expect another bedroom!! I thought the bed was upstairs

[@sam.silker]

WAHHHH~! I want to have an officetel when I move to Korea! Those tiny upstairs are so cute!

[@juandenz2008]

Thanks for the tour. Nice location near the park. If Simon doesn't teach any more what kind of work is he doing? Anyway I can understand that teaching can start to wear you down after a while and you need a break. Two years of English teaching was enough for me. Although I wouldn't mind doing it again at some point.

[@ciasteczkowyPotwor87]

OMG you totally killed me with "Nogi" :D I'm Polish, I love your films and I'm really happy to see Polish accent :)

[@OsitoPandaJossy]

Awww~ we finally get to see your home! Hey, can you make a video when you move out of your apartment so we can see other kran apartment styles?

[@cassiefiedx]

It's small but it's a cosy place! I would love to live there! Simon has A LOT of weird yet cool tshirts!

[@sccracing]

You two really use the space so well!

[@priminista6338]

It's so humble, I'd love to live in an apartment like that

[@ajarofdirt3830]

That moment when Martina sings the Boys Over Flowers theme. Nostalgia and feels everywhere.

[@grassina3]

haha,I love that you started singing the paradise song, because that song is what got me interested in Korea. ^_^ Your hous is so cute!!

[@tasuki199]

Cant wait to see the new place you guys get! And THANK YOU! I've been dying to see what was up stairs!

[@DebbieMariz]

King Kogi!

[@eatyourkimchi]

👑🐷

[@Ayumura96]

this has got to be the most high quality korean apartment tour vid on youtube

[@europegirlh2o]

Wow, it's so small! It's good that you guys set up your own "spaces". If I had to share that with someone, I'd probably get kind of crabby from being too crowded.

[@CatDragon06]

Wow, so tiny but you use the space well! I hope you get a really nice apartment when you move!

[@purplebutterfly1110]

OMG the view is totally mind blowing!

[@Hope4freedom76]

I've always loved little stairs. God thats a cool place. A bit small though but love it anyway

[@FrandyLonk]

watch this in 2016, show me that everything could change and getting better!

[@ohsnapnaydine]

i love the ending to this video (: its funny. i love all your videos actually. can't wait for more! :D

[@KazukoStarz]

The room looks cosy!

[@eddieiz]

Wow... cool little officetel..... I hope you do a new video for your new place.

[@KagerouZutsumi]

i really like the upstair...cos it look really comforatble. i like small spaces like that...

[@MarieClairee27]

the view from your officetel is unreal! the weather looks nice o_O... just thought I'd say that. I'd love to live in your officetel.. looks so cosy x)

[@brinagirl12]

That view is gorgeous

[@XxKurochiixX]

That upstairs part looks so cosy! : O And that view was beautiful ^.^

[@Ieripk]

I like it, it looks great for living alone and working!

[@VIPBJ21]

COOl! Nice place even though it is small. thanks for sharing simon and martina. i cant wait to see music monday aka Bigbang's love song mv.

[@dokidokibaby]

OMG Martina, your stuff is really awesome! I'm always amazed that you wear the cutest earrings and hairbands. I really love your taste in clothing and accessories! :DDD

[@eatyourkimchi]

@LilyAnneVaj It's very true but there is no way we could bring a camera in there. HAHAHA! :D

[@pikaling72]

omg, I am eternally jealous of Martina's headband/earring collection ._. and Simon, you totally look like a giant in the upstairs room. o_o One last thing, the view is gorgeous!! I like your apartment...officetel...thingy. ^^

[@RoopyDee]

i'm into interior decorating. I feel like decorating your apartment because it is such a cool space! AHHH`

[@zaks04]

the great things about living in korea is that it is so convenient to live. Almost everything is within a half mile radius.

[@mysticalBEAUTY95]

I love your little officetill? Its so cute!

[@anthonycalandra9400]

i wonder if they ever updated their achieves...or at least moved them to ssd's or like a cloud database or something...because all I can think of is them falling and the platers cracking *shudders*

[@anonelle28]

The upstairs looks sooooo cozy and perfect :)))))

[@tokee1234567]

@thoudreamchild they sell them all over Korea. they're for kids actually. it's like a little plastic sticker that sticks to bathroom tiles or glass
