Someone asked for a thread, so let's bash on these two ugly fucking losers who think that they know everything about Korea.

No. 65756

I don't mind Marina, but her husband seems like the most immature asshole.

No. 65757

>>65756
Marina is pretty bitchy and throws shade at Hyuna and other Korean girls like crazy. Not even a Koreaboo, but whenever a girl does that kind of shit period it's just disgusting.

Then again, looking the way that she does I'm not surprised that she would feel jealous. Gross hair, not a great body, Chiclets teeth and a pig like snout.

No. 65758

Really? for me it's actually the other way around. I can actually laugh at some of his jokes (I laugh at things that are not actually funny because of that fact). Martina regularly comes off as obnoxious and special snow flakey to me.

>special snowflakey

That's because she is. You can feel it in the videos and the site posts. Marina practically oozes that kind of bullshit from her pores.

You can tell that they're threatened by the idea of anyone else coming to Korea to do what they're doing (maybe even better than them), because they refuse to even give solid advice on how to run a gig like theirs from Korea, how to go about doing it, etc. It's like lol bitch, neither of you are anything special. You're two white kids in Korea who refuse to even become a part of this culture and regularly bash on Koreans for stupid shit like daring to make music in other languages.

Ugh come one, Marina is a pretty name compared to Martina, it's insulting to call her anything than Martina

But yeah, the fact that they get so upset at people criticizing legitimate issues with what they say lets you know how entitled they feel to Korea. Like no one is telling them to stop making videos or to change their personalities (even though it would be an upgrade), but fuck realize why so many people have a problem with what you're saying.

The majority of their fanbase are young teens, I think, so they're going to completely overlook what they're saying and accept their personal experience as being applicable to the entire country. Koreaboos do this shit too because they want to believe the bs of two people who don't even attempt to acclimate to their environment.

They don't even make that many videos talking about issues in Korea, since they don't know much about it outside of kpop and street food, and people flock to them as though they were gurus.

It has to be because of how these koreaboos think 'well if they're willing to accept those two fuckers, I should do fine once I get there, since they're so wacky xD!!!'

and the way she dresses, I know tumblr tards love wearing mismatched shit to draw attention, but Martina takes it a step further

ffs she's 31, she's still in her teen phase. She did that #Dear Me vid talking to her teen self and mentioned how different she was from everyone back then, I think she identifies with that word. Not because it's true to her character, but because it's what she wants to be and goes the extra mile without jeopardizing her "career"

I always try to imagine her in Japan, which was always where she wanted to end up. I think that because of all the other youtubers there (i.e. Rachel and jun and others) her and Simon wouldn't have made it as big. So now b/c of youtube they just loooove Korea.

No. 65765

It's funny, looking through their Twitter mentions there seem to be two levels of Koreaboos.

The kind who love EYK and follow everything they say.

My favorite thing about EYK is how they got their Koreaboo fanbase to buy them roundtrip flight tickets to Europe. I remember reading an article about how they didn't have real work visas in Korea after quitting their teaching job, and just left the country every 6 months to renew their Visa Waiver Program tourist visas. Now I'm not knocking that at all (it's how I lived with my boyfriend for 1 year+ without a proper visa), but they seriously got their delusional fans to pay for the most expensive and annoying part of staying in Korea on that visa. They even registered their business in Canada so they wouldn't be caught working in Korea without a visa (freelance work is a huge loophole when it comes to working on a visa.)

But now they managed to get TTMIK to open a cafe with them (which they are hardly at), so they probably finally got themselves a business visa. Hyunwoo and the TTMIK team does all of the advertising and visit pretty damn frequently, and I always see them when I go there.

No. 65769

>>65768
Its sad, you hardly see them interacting with any Korean people that isn't Soo Zee, and even she hardly shows up in videos anymore. I don't think they truly care about Korea as much s they do with their fame that's associated with Korea.

They're doing everything they can to stay in Korea, with other people's efforts. They don't even mention the Cafe anymore. I hope that TTMIK are making most of the profit off of it.

I was in Korea when this launched and I really dgaf about EYK but my friends looooove them and wanted to go really badly……… I can't believe i waited 1hr+ under Seoul's summer sun for this…

It's good that at least TTMIK are behind this, and I believe they are respectful.

I really only watch them for fapfaps and wanks, I can't care too much for their kpop videos or anything. I know they really support LiNK, but even LiNK is a bit questionable compared to other similar organizations.

I seriously don't get how people think these guys are even funny… I remember when exo released 'what is love' and tumblr was filled with that "i lost my pants" cringey shit and I don't even know how this managed to happen…..
The two videos of them i watched were the one about NK bombing threats (kinda useful because most foreigners thought some crazy stuff was going on when it didn't) and one about what one should pack to Korea.

Honestly? Do what I was about to do. I was on /cgl/ last year when everyone was crying over wanting real shimapan and how striped underwear is apparently so hard to find. These dumbasses, I have like three pairs from Target in several colors. Wide striped, just how they like them.

I remember when they held an AMA they seemed to avoid a lot of questions that outed them but I can't really remember much of them unfortunately.

Yes, I'm so glad there's an EYK thread, they are my guilty pleasure. I have major conflicting love/hate emotions towards them. I actually do find them funny, but I mainly like to laugh at Martina's clothes/makeup. I remember one video she had a slight tan and a brown neutral smokey eye that was actually well applied and she looked so much better it was ridiculous. But ofc on the next video she was back to that ugly ass cat eye and smeared on crayola colours. And ofc simon always looks straight up gross, like a creepy uncle. When I first started watching it took me a few videos to work out they were actually married and he wasn't her gay BFF.

There were so many threads about amg I need reel shimapan ackshullay frum nippon it HAS 2 be frum nippon!!!11 Meanwhile, I'm finding striped panties at Target and Kohl's, nothing on them but stripes, in several different colors. They wanted them because shimapan became popular again and of course the most desu and moe NEED to wear striped underwear!

I don't see the appeal, they're underwear with stripes and I use them as period week panties. People must have some real grand imaginations to feel turned on at stripes. Can't imagine what they feel when they saw Steve from Blue's Clues in his shirts.

No. 65834

Yep, I agree, no one would invest any time on watching any of these people even if they just had a casual interest in knowing about Japan or Korea because they're not learning much from them. I think Koreaboos and weeaboos get so butthurt because they invest their energy into the people, so they don't care whether the info is accurate or not. They just want to know about these peoples experience in terms of it being negative or positive so that they can easily relate to it on those terms.

So if a really good looking chick had a bad time because she couldn't get a date, it'll draw weebs and koreaboos more than someone who cares about the cultural reason behind why. I mean when I think of koreaboos and weeaboos I don't think of people who legitimately care for the culture, I usually think of people who reduce the countries down to anime, idols, music genres, food and interest in foreigners.

Exactly. One of my peeves concerning eyk was that at one point when they first started receiving criticism I think, they began to start off their vids with these disclaimers saying, 'these are our opinions based on our experience, and we have to say that otherwise people will get mad,' like dude. We know these are your experiences, the point is you're making generalizations.

Those videos that have like 56 views on them sometimes end up being more informative. I was just looking up stuff now and came across Trish J luv, though idk if she's accurate, but she doesn't have all the bs frills and thrils eyk throws in to detract from the fact that they don't have anything of value to say.

yeah they stated that they didn't need to learn english because Koreans want to practice their english instead or because of the places they hang out with or something where everyone speaks english.

It's like they forget that the reason they pick on the english of kpop artists is because it isn't amazing, their primary language is Korean and they're trying to learn a second language. Then here come these bozos wanting to stay below intermediate level in a second language to make things easier for themselves rather than what would be best in a convo between them and a Korean who may not get the gist of what their saying.

They made a video saying how Koreans don't understand sarcasm, and since thats about all eyk is good at, you'd think they'd be concerned about how they come off.

While it's true that some Koreans will take the chance of talking to a foreigner to practice (come on, who in anywhere in the world wouldn't???), it's still not near on how much you need to learn Korean. There are way more complex stuff than getting a coffee. They are lucky they have so many Korean-American friends, otherwise they problably wouldn't get any near of where they are now.

I think you do need to have a reasonably larger butt to do this, and while it looks really tasteless, if it's what you're going for, there is a "right" way to do it.

what were the greatest surprises/differences for you?

actually this question applies to anyone thats visited

I notice that when I go to another country, it's usually not to different from home for me for some reason, like I've yet to experience culture shock (then again, I haven't been to any outlandish places).

No. 65900

>>65899
Nothing too big or 'culture shock'ish, honestly I was just surprised that it was pretty much like any other place. There isn't magical wifi that is found everywhere (only available to certain users of certain mobile phone services, if you aren't a member, you don't get the free wifi thats available everywhere) Everything isn't super high tech everywhere. Maybe in some buildings in some areas, but a majority of the area is quite normal.

But if I had to give a useful tip to people coming long term to work or study is this:

You need to be VERY careful about how you are treated by some people, mostly guys. Obviously this doesn't apply to all men, but a lot of guys will treat you like shit if you aren't careful. Also, if you aren't Korean, most guys will think you are pretty easy. They say you want to be friends and offer to hang out, and by the end of the day they ask you if you want to spend the night in a motel with you.

People forget that men are men everywhere, and Korean guys are just as likely to want to hook up as any other guy in any other country. You've got to be smart and look out for yourself just like back home. If you aren't careful, crazy shit can happen. Oppa won't come and save you.

To add to what >>65900 said. Definitely be careful. Date rape is a problem there. I know from experience. My translator for the police was a police woman and she said as such and that women rarely report it so not much gets better regarding it. My friends have also had men follow them when they walk alone or in small groups.

Overall though, my experiences have been positive. My husband is Korean and been very supportive about helping with the language and culture so that makes the experience better. Most people speak minimal English in shops and such but knowing basic Korean is better.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. They've mentioned it a few times, but recently made a video actually talking about it. They didn't talk about fertility in the video, nor have they anywhere else as far as I know, but even just looking it up tells you that infertility is common among people with EDS. She might be infertile, but it's rude to assume so imo.

People have also mentioned that having a kid would really hinder them right now. There's no doubt that their videos probably take up the majority of their time and attention rn, so having a kid would just be a huge hassle on top of whatever else they have to do.

Thats one of the most common things I've read about from people who go to study there. They say that what they thought was a friendship was actually a guy priming them for a quick fuck, only to rarely hear from them again unless its to have sex again. Obviously not everyones experience is like this and doesn't speak of every Korean guy out there, there are multiple factors at play. Though for this to be common occurrence among foreigners is telling.

I may be fucked up for this, but it makes me laugh when Koreaboos get uspet at the fact that the sex was awful or the guy didn't fall in love with them and treat them like the girls in romantic dramas because its like a reality check for them. They actually made Korea and its men to be the definition of chivalry when its so far from the truth.

This reminds me of a black Koreaboo friend of a friend who visited Seoul last year and posted a status along the lines of: "Went clubbing last night and let's just say there was no need to worry that Korean guys wouldn't like black girls ;) I got way more attention than back home!"
Clubs are for hooking up in every country, Korea is no different, PLUS the stereotype that black girls are easy… and she's still thinking she's going to get dat Korean husband soon.

The other thing is that she's fairly SJW but loves the 'hiphop' style Kpop. I never understood how Kpop doesn't get more hate for ~cultural appropriation~. Does it not count because they're Asian?

Wait, so let me get this straight, sjw only talk shit about white rappers, but not East Asian ones??

I thought they would shit on Asian rappers too considering some of the vids I would see being reblogged back when I was on tumblr, I think one was about how rapmonster was saying "I can talk black" and proceeded to embarrass himself, and how some other chick was like "I rap better than the black boys". Ugh I actually find a good percentage of the rappers in Kpop pretty horrible, not just due to their lack of skill but because of their lack of knowledge of hip hop and rap itself.

A lot of them always mention the same rappers as their fav, and it's usually the worst artists in the U.S. I wonder if they think they're good not because of lyrical content but because of the amount of play they get or how catchy the songs are? I never hear kpop artists mention the traditionally known good rappers in the U.S.

Anyway, to not keep this going for too long, I would 100% support white rappers more because of this if I was a black sjw. Like, at least a good amount of white people can recognize when a song is actually good regardless of who's rapping it, can understand the culture that created it and can assimilate into it without coming off as try hards (kek, those kpop vids with the random, mute black people that are just there for street cred/"solidarity").

They used to be a lot nicer back then too. I would email them through their website asking them questions and they'd respond nicely.

From the looks of the posts, it's anons who liked certain people and I guess they didn't realize that something they enjoy could also be hated by other people. I mean, think about it; They don't HAVE to post in the threads if they don't want to. They have the ability to hide them. It isn't as if a thread about someone else existing means that it somehow takes attention away from other threads. That very notion is retarded in itself. It also doesn't clog up anything since they can just hide it or simply not click on it. Yet they act like they're chained.

I don't know about Gepik, but similar programs like JET don't require its teachers to know the native language of the country. I think it's more of a "well if you cant speak the language, the kids cant get you to spoil them by always having you translate it from english into w/e language." That's how I've always thought about it.

No. 65951

The only thing I can say in their defense (not that I'm defending them, just how they can get away with this), is that Korea requests teachers fluent in English who will speak in English all the time, preferably white, so that their kids have no choice but to learn English to communicate with them.

Yeah, basically.

It's fucked up but I've heard enough stories of Europeans who even speak ESL being picked over Korean Americans, just because they're white. It doesn't happen everywhere obviously, but some shit schools do to please the parents (who don't speak English themselves) and think the English is more ~genuine~ coming from a white person.

No. 65954

That reminds me of my boyfriend's cousin's experience. She was approached by a company in China that hires White people to be "office models" as in standing around an office just looking nice because it apparently impresses Western clients to have White people around? His family is from England and her accent is apparently what sealed the deal, but she didn't take it.

No. 65955

That makes ZERO sense to me. If you're going to teach abroad, you should have a fluent or very good grasp of the language. How can you teach if you cant even speak the native tongue? That is setting up people to fail.

No. 65957

Apparently so. The only thing that confuses the fuck out of me is how it's impressive to have White people in an office when you have Westerners visiting. They're likely from a place where White people are common, so what's so mind boggling? I would have thought that having an Asian woman fluent in English with maybe a nice East Asian accent would have made their dicks hard for business negotiations.

It's funny because teachers for JET don't need to know shit Japanese, but if you want to apply for their other position (Coordinator of International Relations) you need top notch JLPT1 Japanese. They really don't fuck around during the interview apparently and you seriously have to prove yourself. It's really funny how it's such a drastic different. I do think that >>65951 really hits the nail on the head. OT but When I studied abroad, even though I could barely understand what was going on at first, it kind of clicked for me after a while and it became a little easier to pick up the language once you stop questioning EVERY. SINGLE. LITTLE. THING. and having the professor translate it and spoil you. ofc, there are downsides, but for the most part I think it made things a little easier.

My current Japanese professor is a white dude who did JET a couple years back as a teacher, and I don't think his Japanese was as good as it was now but he's pretty much fluent nowadays. It's amazing what a little effort into learning the language will do for you.

tbh I really do quite enjoy EYK as a guilty pleasure to binge watch when I'm bored, but it seems like such a huuuuge waste to not learn the language. More than anything, I think being fluent in another language is one of the coolest things to show off. When I was abroad, I went through so many periods of stress and self hatred because I wasn't picking up the language as fast as I wanted to. Going out anywhere stressed me out because I couldn't speak the language. I really don't understand people who don't want to learn the language of a place they're going to live in. All I would want to do is fully assimilate myself, or I could take it as a failure and move back home.

No. 65961

>>65960
Yeah I imagine being in a country where you can't communicate with the vast majority of people is terrifying. I just imagined what EYK would be like if they were completely fluent. I think it would have a lot of people have less things to criticize, but I also think they wouldn't be able to get away with as much as they do, because Koreans can argue with them if they disagree and EYK wouldn't be able to write it off as "!#@$T%$^%^&^&??!!" Though if no koreans had issues with what they "report," it would be of great benefit for these two to learn. They would be asked to be on tv muuuuuuch more often, especially since they go abroad so often, they would likely be asked about that all the time.

But nope because being fluent in Spudgy speak is apparently what has them rolling in cash.

Honey, really? You're late to the party, we told the fangirls to BTFO earlier. You mad that we're talking shit? You hide the goddamned thread and move the fuck on.

And, as for your comment; Because not all of us aspire to be YT bloggers. Believe it or not, I know it must be oh so shocking, not all of us have the desire to be on a camera nearly every single day or week, even. You know what they call a person who lowers themselves to a certain level in order to make money? A sell out. Not all of us want to be that. Maybe some of us would like to get to where we want to be the normal way, not the "Hi, I'm entitled suburban Starbucks sippin' white qurl gib moniez pl0x XDDDD omg is that a taco?! XD" way.

Not that user; This is also called a living or just living and there is no normal way to living except the way you are taught. If you don't steal or damage someone severely it shouldn't be a problem for anyone especially since they didn't take money and disappear they are still dont whatever they were doing whenever the fuck they started it.

The type of person to usually say or think its a problem when there isnt, is people that are afraid to do something in the first place that is similar to taking a chance (yes I know about that ONE video about slut shaming) which is why you mentioned pewdiepie. They Prey on whats "normally accepted" or call things "a real job" just to feel a bit better about the fact that they can not live and do whatever the fuck they want to do and get paid for that, you know life is unfair you didnt get lucky enough. You dont think or maybe even try to think that they maybe already know it cant last forever urr durr, they maybe have a life savings? No? Not an option?
But because you harp on this conclusion of failure so you can feel superior, your "Ha ha thats what you get for trying to be something not normal to my 9-5 life." its blatantly obvious whats the real problem.

Wtf, lmao I don't have a right to criticize people who publicize themselves? You literally just gave me shit for not thinking that Simon and Martina deserve the following that they do, especially when they provide information that is based more on personal experience than actual fact. It makes no sense to me that people flock to them as though they were credible sources regarding Korean people or culture when the two can't even speak the language unless it involves food or Kpop names.

Literally all they do is make the same type of comments people in their lolsorandum xD phase make regarding kpop artists. They also make the once in the blue moon video providing their subscribers with Korean "facts," as well as their Korean food vids where its just them eating and their wtf Korean or Japanese items vids, 'cause hey why the fuck not? They're interchangeable right? If you're a weeb you're likely a Koreaboo too and vice versa. They know their fans will flock for anything with Korea or Japan in the title, so just throw it in there, no matter how stupid it is.

Like there is nothing of actual value being shared regarding Korea itself. Other youtubers with a decent following who market themselves as vloggers in Korea usually make sure they let their subscribers get some insight about what life is like there for many, not just themselves. They seem to isolate themselves within Korea yet want to talk about it as though they founded the country. Although I know it's Simon and Martinas channel and they can do whatever the fuck they want with it, they could do better.

I don't have to take their place to prove that, the fact that others already do is enough, and not even pertaining to Korea itself but vloggers from all over the world in general.

It's not about the fact that they aren't following your typical mind numbing 9-5 desk job, no one is trying to bash them for that or weeping in envy.

It's the fact that you would expect people that have such a following due to the info they share about Korea, would at least know how to speak the language and make better videos regarding Korea. That's it. They shouldn't claim to do what they say they do when they don't.

The other anon >>65984 questioned why people who are here complaining about the kind of shit eyk puts out don't make our own channels and become more successful, but its evident that the moron doesn't realize that their audience doesn't give a fuck nor does it want useful information.

People don't get that this shit is honestly annoying. It's online. It's offline. It's everywhere; People constantly thinking that they can whine or demand something for an easy way out in life when there's no such thing and nobody is obligated to just hand you shit. Being random or obnoxious or having tits isn't a free pass to do whatever the fuck you want. It isn't about bitterness. It's about not setting yourself and others up for failure years down the road. People hop on the YT bandwagon not realizing that people like Michelle Phan, PewDiePie, and Jenna are all examples of pure luck. Even within the cosplay circuit, we have dumb little cunts fucking up the hobby by trying to be like Nigger and Yaya when even Yaya herself is slowly becoming irrelevant because she's aging and shooting herself in the foot over and over by being obnoxious with no remorse.

EYK is honestly no better because they do exactly what others have done, which is avoid getting real jobs. They registered this bullshit "business" in order to avoid getting deported back to Canada because they're desperate fucking hipster weebs.

Eventually enough good looking, young North American, Australian and European koreaboos will come to Korea, start their own channels that will relate more to what people who can actually travel there will want to know.

(When I was thinking of travelling there and looked up info on where to go, one of the most common themes that came up was sex, dating, birth control, body image, family issues, Korean relations between men and women, etc.) But because they have a demographic primarily composed of people who want to hear Martina talk like she's autistic and enlighten us on the wonder that are diet shoes, they get to be as mediocre as possible and provide info a few google searches can lead to.

Look, I really don't give a shit about these people, didn't even know they existed before this thread, but you have to understand that just because they are getting everything handed to them through scamming doesn't mean that the rest of us are going to do the same, nor does it mean that we have to just deal with it and ignore the fact that it's annoying to see them doing this shit.

Some of us are trying our best to live a life where we get shit because we earned it, and although it is easy to go and try to make a youtube career a la Pewdiepie, not all of us can actually afford to go on a daily video schedule like most of these people are.

These people weren't lucky; they just knew how to play their cards to get the shit they wanted, and what that anon was saying was that a career on a platform as wobbly as YouTube is really no guarantee that you'll live in luxury forever.

>But because you harp on this conclusion of failure so you can feel superior, your "Ha ha thats what you get for trying to be something not normal to my 9-5 life." its blatantly obvious whats the real problem.

You're being an incredibly condescending piece of shit right here, sweetie.
People may live average lives and to them, average may be good, so what's your problem with that? Scamming can only take you so far and the little cult of people who may be following for the next couple of years is probably going to be gone once they get bored of them. They won't be the first nor the last youtubers who suffer from this. Someone stops being relevant and then they get replaced, that's life.

This is a place designed for gossiping. I don't know what you're doing here if you're against people gossiping, and honestly trying to sound like you're educated and condescending when your English isn't that good is honestly annoying. English isn't my first language but at least I don't try to put myself on a high pedestal by pretending I am better than the rest of the people here.

>you guys don't know anything but assumptions

you said that you don't even know who they are but we're making assumptions?

YOU haven't seen anything but the mention of one video because you choose to not read anything else people have spoken about in this thread. You don't know anything about them? Go to their channel, watch some videos, form an opinion, then go look up the controversy regarding them to see if you agree. It's as simple as that.

Your so fucking lazy you want everything handed to you wrapped in a nice little bow. The people who dislike them here have all watched their videos, many transitioning from being their fans to no longer liking them. We invested time into eyk, and it's why we're able to speak about them. Notice how those who do watch their channel or used to are in agreement, and the only people complaining are those like you who don't even know who they are much less what they've done to anger people.

The only difference between eyk and the other cows on this board is that a lot of people find them intensely likable, which is one of the points we made here. It makes people disregard the fact that people paint them as Korean ambassadors when they haven't done anything to deserve that title aside from having a bunch of koreaboos flock to them and fund their living expenses there so that they can keep making videos about how mystical Korea is.

what's their channel basically about anymore? Although they got a lot of hate for the way they went about talking about kpop, at least it wasn't information that was coming of as fact but an opinion, so its more forgivable than saying something like Koreans are all thin to a bunch of gullible teens.

I hate how childish they are, and whats worse is that they've seem to become more immature the longer that they have had their channel. I think that this is due to their fanbase being made up of preteens and teens. Martina especially seems keen on behaving 20 yrs younger than her actual age. I wonder if she does it to fit in with her fans or if there is something else going on.

I went to see the video of her in this screenshot >>66044, and couldn't help but notice the comment in the image.

Even if she wasn't half black those tumblrites are still fucking retards. The strawman argument of "u all laughed at black rappers now u like rap cuz they not black !!!!" is ridiculous, k-pop itself is very far away from actual rap and just because they borrow some of the aesthetics it doesn't mean they're "appropriating" the "black rap culture". I've loved rap and hip hop since I was a kid and listened to black and white artists equally and had the same respect for both of them. Asian hip hop artists constantly do collaborations with western black rappers for crying out loud.

And people don't laugh at white rappers? Have a look at Eminem for example, people called him a mayo and didn't believe he could rap because he's white and laughed at his face. And Iggy Azalea gets shit on constantly for being a "culture-stealing white girl" even though she's been into hip hop for all her life and moved to the states to pursue her dream.

No. 66056

>>66052
Uh, yeah, I mentioned that. However, their response, which is right there in the image is not limited to just the anti gaming laws. It would be retarded to not want to raise a kid in Korea bc of that specific law.

They said that while they enjoy many aspects of Korea, they wouldn't want to raise a kid there. This is a general statement and one they have made before on a topic completely unrelated to gaming and more so to do with the educational system in Korea as well as some other issue I don't remember.

Anyway, my opinion still stands. They love Korea and Koreans as they claim all the time, who have been raised under that same system, but it's somehow not good enough for their kids. They were fine teaching under it until they began to focus on their youtube channel, but wouldn't be fine having their kids exposed to it.

I'm pretty sure their issues with Korea don't just end there. Thats why a lot of people dislike them, they don't seem genuine in their love for the country because they don't seem to appreciate it or its people. It's like some gimmick to them.

I think you missed the point they were making

It is appropriation of culture when you want to associate yourself with it while subjugating the people who created it. There are tons of posts around online talking about how many black people get told they won't be hired for a job in Korea for simply being black, or will have people fear them from the image that is displayed of them in the media despite never having met a black person.

However, some people still enjoy their music, will want to hear them play it or collab with them, but limit it to just that. It's purely business oriented and they don't give a shit about black people otherwise. Other people will want to go into the genre, while hating black people, despite the majority of the artists inspiring them being black. Other people will actually copy black people down to a t while hating black people.

I mean if I were black and I knew South Korea to have found blackface to be inoffensive in the past (like how do they understand the same racist ideology used in the U.S. despite their not being a history of blacks in SK?), while many places refusing to hire black people but wanting to imitate the culture, I'd be upset. I know that it's not as bad as it used to be, with black people being hired to help out entertainers.

Also, just because you love someone elses culture does not mean you can't appropriate it. I can love Indian culture and done so my entire life but that doesn't mean I should wear saris and bindis for fashion or move to India and become the icon for what Bindis and Saris represent.

I don't have an issue with Iggy rapping, but I do dislike the media portraying her as the best female rapper of all time, etc etc and receiving accolades her black counterparts never did even though they paved the way for other female rappers.

Eminem is talented, not mimicking what black culture is unlike Iggy. Its why so many influential and talented black rappers wanted to work alongside him. Like actually want to. Not just because emimen was doing well.

I'd like to see some proof of this instead of the "b-but they're poor pitiful victims all around the globe" tumblr truth. And it's especially ironic because it's the black people themselves who cherish showcasing the excessive thug lifestyle in music videos, not the whitey.

>I can love Indian culture and done so my entire life but that doesn't mean I should wear saris and bindis for fashion or move to India and become the icon for what Bindis and Saris represent.


I can tell you're a white American. Indians couldn't give a rat's ass if you moved to India or wore a sari or bindis. I don't give a shit if someone wore accessories related to my country's mythology. We're not living in the middle ages damnit, it's not like you're burning a flag.

>I don't have an issue with Iggy rapping, but I do dislike the media portraying her as the best female rapper of all time, etc etc and receiving accolades her black counterparts never did even though they paved the way for other female rappers.


The fuck? Have you heard about Lil' Kim, Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill or M.I.A.?

Someone on some tumblr blog complained about this once:

"Their store…
Can we talk about their store for a minute? I’ve never been to their actual website before but the other day I saw a post about their store so I decided to check it out. My god, some of the stuff they are hocking are pure rip offs!
I can understand about the shirts. I mean okay sure, you can’t get them from anywhere else. $18 is about the average price of shirts from Youtubers anyway.
But the beanies. Why do beanies cost more than shirts??? They are selling them for $20 each… Meanwhile you can buy them on Ebay for about $2 - $3! Just go to ebay.com and search ‘cat ear beanie’ and you see the exact same beanie.

The only thing that’s special about them is a tiny ass patch that’s basically just free advertisement for them. But of course, that justifies a 10 times price increase. Not to mention that there is a $6 shipping cost on top of the $20. If you really want that beanie so bad you can go on Ebay and get it for less than the price of shipping from EYK.
And the cat ear hats. $30?!?! Again, Ebay for $5. But of course, they slapped a shitty ribbon on it and that justifies the huge price increase. You could do the same thing yourself, just grab a roll of ribbon from the craft store which would cost you no more than $5.

I wouldn't think so. I mean from watching a little of Korean and Nip tv, it seems their regular shows are already "Celebrities React to: ______" So I would assume it isn't a big deal.

It's probably not important since EYK and Amber are obviously friends, but since she also follows their web developer… it makes me wonder if Amber ever followed Soozee and Leigh in the first place too?

Maybe their contract is up and they decided to start moving to Japan? They've been there a lot lately, maybe they were scouting locations for the new studio.

It'd be too much of a pain in the ass to make a contract for Soozee so she probably got canned, plus they won't need a Korean if they are doing Japanese shit, and Leigh was probably on a internship so they probably are ending that as well. Rose is the only one the actually need because she does web content and they probably set up their company in Canada and have her hired through their so her contract won't need reworking.

Plus I never felt like Sozee and Leigh got that well along with Simon and Martina. Whenever they interacted it felt like those awkward "gotta get along with my boss" vibes. With Rose I felt like they actually liked her as a friend.

No. 68133

Honestly if they were actually smart and wanted to expand, they should move to Japan and keep Leigh and Soozee in Seoul doing Korean content. It might actually bring in Korean viewers if they had Soozee do Korean vids, maybe looking at foreigners in Korea while Leigh keeps up with the expat in Korea vibe.

Then Simon and Martina can just shit up Japan with whatever pig noise lip smacking eating video they want to do next.

Honestly it looked like he was trying to hold it together whenever she talked about her condition and whenever she went into detail it was like he was trying not to cry. Definitely the most genuine emotion I've felt from them in any video, reminds me a lot of their very early videos when they were more serious (and enjoyable).

It looks like they plan on moving back to Canada after Nip to let Martina get solid medical care/a routine, so Japan will probably only be a few years.

Now the big question is what crew or group will they join in Japan? They seem to be friends with Rachel and Jun, so I'm guessing they'll be their biggest support (unless they don't leave Japan or something either, because Rachel's been pretty vaguebloggy the past month or so as well) and Sharla will probably be in their videos as well as she's friends with Rachel.

There's something about them moving that makes me feel unsettled. I actually do like watching EYK (though it took me a couple of years to actually start watching them), even though they have their own problems and flaws. I don't really watch a lot of vloggers anymore, but I like their consistent programs and how their videos are shot and editted (especially those trip videos- but that's probably all because of Leigh's camerawork and editting).

I don't know. I've associated them with Korea for so long, it feels kind of weird and sad to me? Kind of like an end of an era. Regardless, I'm really happy that Martina gets to live her dream while she still can. Unfortunately, looks like they'll have to deal with public transportation again. I'm actually also worried about Spudgy too. They didn't take him on tour because they said he's so old and flying would stress him out or something, no doubt moving might also. I really only love EYK because I love Spudgy (I have a peke myself so….) so he's probably the one I'm the most worried about int his entire situation lol.

Also, even thought the jvlogging community is so saturated, I think they'll stand a chance since they've already got an established audience. I don't think they'll lose anyone, because they stopped doing Kpop music mondays a long while ago (good fucking riddance) due to backlash or something, and their audience likes weeby stuff probably. I think nowadays the only really Korean centric thing that people who are interested in Korea would even stay for are the TL;DRs. FAPFAPs are all about delicious food (which, I would honestly watch regardless of what country they were doing it in) and WANKs are the same too. WTFs are just WTFs, they done both Japanese and Korean products.

Meh, their pity party story doesn't change anything. If they didn't have the drama surrounding the 100K donations without living up to their promises, nobody would care if they were moving to Japan.

Kind of shitty that now that they are moving, they are getting their deposits back, thus having all of that money back in the bank. Not much they can do about it, I guess, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

Why don't they just do one last big trip touring across Japan, and settle back in Canada? I mean, I would sympathize more if Martina had not been to Japan yet, but didn't they go twice this year? It sucks seeing Martina in pain all of the time, but yet she is distancing herself more from some medical treatment/medication that she could get a lot easier and cheaper if they just moved back.

Korea can be a cruel country. As they themselves have said, Koreans are blunt as fuck about calling women fat or unattractive which Martina is both, so I have no doubt she's heard it a couple times there by now. In addition to that she's also mentioned a few times how businessmen don't even look at her and go straight to Simon instead. She's probably grown sick of living like 40 years in the past in terms of how women are treated and wants to move up a notch.
That's not to say that Japan is much much better, however, they at least will not call her fat or be rude to her face unlike Koreans would. They'll laugh the second you're gone, but never in your face.
I do believe that Martina wants to continue exploring the world with the time she has left, I dont doubt that for a moment.

It was their original intent from the beginning. IIRC, they happened to choose Korea since they scored jobs there and it was close enough to Japan or whatever. They've said in their "We're moving to Japan" video that they didn't plan to stay so long in Korea to begin with, but now that Martina's condition is deteriorating even more, better late than never to complete one of her dreams.

>>84396
Maybe a few weeks since they're apartment hunting now I think.

I think this sort of signifies the end of their youtube career. I'm not a HUGE fan of them, but I do enjoy watching them from time to time whenever they post something. It's a bit sad, because I remember in an older video they said they try their best to come up with new ideas in order to not fall behind since it's sort of eat or get eaten on youtube- the instant you become boring, everyone can move on to another foreigner vlogging in a different country. Their reasons for coming to Japan were for Martina, before she's unable to walk or whatever because of her EDS. Inevitably, they'll probably have to go back to Canada. They probably won't be able to stay in Japan as long as they did in Korea, and once they move back to Canada, it's sort of over for them. They've built themselves on showcasing countries like Korea and Japan, taking advantage of how exotic it is to others and their interest in a world their fans might never experience. Canada is just another boring Western country that everyone basically considers the same as the US, and no one finds North America interesting.

Of course, they have teaching degrees and whatnot, so they can always go back into education afterwards, but their youtube career most likely won't last for much longer. Part of me is really interested in seeing how things will go for them, but part of me hopes their youtube careers might last because I do enjoy their videos. I know they're cows, but I don't hate them because I don't really find them as bad as someone like Venus.

(also, Simon can't drive in Japan like he did in Korea (not that they get to keep the EYK mobile anyway) so that also hinders them. Taxis are kind of expensive from what I hear)

No. 84740

Thanks for your take on this. I've only a watched a few of their videos… but this is sad…

Why can't Simon get an international license?

No. 84758

>>84740
I assume that he could (or really, both of them could since they both have their licenses- oops forgot about that), but I'm assuming that he just got his license by going to the Canadian embassy in Korea and getting a translation of it which allows him to drive just fine since Canada and Korea drive on the same side of the road. I don't know what the process is to get an international license, or to get a license for a country that drives on the opposite site. There also come the issue of whether or not they'd like to buy/lease a car in Japan. They would very seldomly rent a car while in Korea for their road trips before they got the EYK mobile that was basically just given to them by Kia. I think if Kia never gave them the car, they never would've considering actually getting a car. Who knows though? Simon might see it as an advantage to get his international license and getting a car to make Martina's life a bit smoother.

Also I just thought about this and maybe, MAYBE, they might be able to continue making a living off vlogs if they returned to Canada. Since they have a solid fanbase who probably also enjoys them as people on top of the content they put out, daily vlogs of their life might not be so bad. I've been watching a lot of JennaMarbles' boyfriend's videos recently, and his channel is composed mostly of daily life vlogs. Of course, I think he has a bit of success since he's associated with Jenna (although I enjoy his vlogs regardless of Jenna or not- but it does help drive traffic to his channel), but EYK also has that success of having established themselves and people might be interested in seeing their day-to-day life vlogs if they do something like that once they return to Canada. It's just an idea though, I don't know if it would really be interesting or not or enough to keep their fans/gain new ones.

No. 84759

>>84758

If they live in Tokyo they might not need a car, but it would probably be more convenient and helpful to have one because of Martina's health condition.

I would be interested in their vlog's of Canadian life. That seems like an untapped market. Especially if they get paid by the government to be offical tourism ambassadors. On the other hand though I'll be disappointed that it's not Asian stuff because I'm such a weeb. Though at some point Martina might be too tired or in pain to even continue filming or uploading videos often enough to retain the interest of their viewers. It really is a full time job.

No. 84760

honestly, not focusing on korea is their career death knell. japan is no where near as popular in the west anymore (as opposed to the 90s and early 00s).

I've only visited Korea once, but public transportation seemed about the same as Tokyo for me? Then again, it's all a bit of a blur. I've seen those convenient lift-type things that go up the stairs for people in wheelchairs/old people in stations where there arent any elevators/escalators available, but I wonder if their Japanese will ever get good enough for them to ask the station attendants to let them use it since Martina looks like a very healthy and physically capable individual on the outside.

>>84759
I wonder if she'll turn to becoming a make-up guru instead? She did use to post some tutorials and reviews about cosmetics in the past (though mostly on Open the Happy).

>>84760
Korea was great for them since they happened to be one of the first to do it, and were one of the first to make it big doing Korea so any competition within Korea got drowned out pretty fast, imo. Kvlogging sort of became synonymous with EYK whereas Jvlogging makes you think of multiple people. Viewers could honestly go to Sharla or R&J's channel if they wanted to see life in Japan, but I think part of EYK's "charm" is the quality of their videos. Having solid segments and sort of decent camerawork puts them at an advantage for me.

I haven't watched Rachel and Jun in a long while now actually (I was so offput by how they would appear bland and sort of cringeworthy for me- while EYK at least seems more natural on camera) but I think recently they've also been developing in the same way EYK has in terms of camerawork and more "professional" quality videos (especially in regards to going out and promoting specific places like the Fox Village and whatnot. I'm sort of confused about all that Japanese housing stuff though).

If they ever do go the route of vlogging in Canada, I really hope there's more Spudgy centric stuff lol. I'm such a sucker for their dog…

I can't believe they lived in SK for 7 fucking years and didn't learn the language. It's insulting for them to insinuate that they are going to learn Japanese. No matter which country you're from, you would get fucking pissed off when an immigrant of 7 years can't even communicate with you. In Canada, we have two official languages recognized by the government. If you can't manage to learn English or French after almost a decade, there's no helping you and I can't feel bad. Yet there's only one language EYK needed to learn and they refused to actually make the effort. That proves they're nothing but lazy. If they do manage to learn Japanese, it simply makes them look racist towards Koreans because they probably won't be living in Japan for that long. I highly doubt they will commit to learning the language though. They're so ignorant.

Had they learned Korean well enough, Japanese might have been a bit easier. I hear that grammar wise they're very similar, so all they would have to work on is learning the writing system (which is a feat in and of itself, but regardless).

I've been here for a few months now and it's hard to break out of the shell and knowing how I can get away with barely any Japanese- but it sucks knowing that I'll never really feel like I "live" here. Just knowing spots that natives go to and stuff tourists don't see doesn't make it you any less of a tourist, which is basically what they did in Korea. They'll never really be able to experience Japan unless they master the language and get out of Tokyo.

Also, if they lived outside of Tokyo I think it might be better for them. Not only does it make it easier to learn (people just don't fucking try speaking English at all- they didn't for me at least), but there's this charm about places outside of Tokyo. I've lived in northern Nagasaki for a bit before I came to Tokyo, and there's something about the city life that I don't particularly like (also I miss mountains everywhere).

iirc some Japanese people do appreciate foreigners picking up the language and being involved in their culture. I've watched some lesser known JVloggers recount stories where they do less 'touristy' things and locals really like it.

When you live in Japan if you don't take the opportunity to learn, you won't learn much. People will treat you more or less like a tourist and keep their distance? You really have to try. I was surprised that Simon and Martina have lived in Korea so long, but barely speak the language. So if they will have the same approach in Japan, I'm not expecting much.

Sorta OT but do you guys watch any good and unknown JVloggers? The popular ones have their fair share of drama, and personally I just want to hear someone's good o' experiences. If they dont't do the usual 'Tokyo/Touristy' schtick, then it's even better.

Japanese people love it when someone appreciates their culture and shows interest in learning. But as you said, you can totally live in your English expat bubble and never experience what life in actual Japan is like. Japanese people are not used to foreigners, even in freaking Tokyo only around 2,4% (data from 2010) of residents are non-Japanese including Asian foreigners who tend to be harder to spot. In contrast they had a new record of tourists visiting Japan last year, so a Japanese person treating a foreigner like a tourist is normal. Some people get really pissed about it, but the chances of meeting a Japanese-speaking foreigner on a random day are just rather slim. What pisses me off is when they keep on speaking in really broken English when it would be so much easier to just speak Japanese.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I do agree though, she isn't doing herself any favors in regards to her weight. In fact, I get really pissed off when they both go film in another country because it's never focused on the sites or landmarks, just on FUCKING FOOD.

You know, it's not like I'd like to see beautiful locations that have some kind of cultural significance or anything. Nah, I just want to see videos of two people eating massive amounts of food like gluttons and only showing different varieties of food for an ENTIRE fucking video.

I love food as much as the next person, but god I am not at that level anymore. I used to eat like that when I was crossing into overweight territory, but now I just feel grossed out when I see how much they eat.

It's pretty obvious that they both have an unhealthy relationship with food. Simon actually does have more of an excuse though, as he actually works off the excess calories that he eats. As for Martina? She looks quite tubby compared to her husband so I doubt she does anything remotely physical.

If they did stuff like that in Japan, ESPECIALLY in maybe some more bumfuck locations, I think I'd really enjoy it. Even non-jvloggers will vlog about Tokyo (JKfilms, JennaMarbles, etc) and it's just stale air at this point. Personally, I enjoy more rural areas of Japan and there are asstons of videos on major cities, they might be better off really experiencing Japan outside of the city (isn't that what they wanted anyway- to experience Japan? You're not really getting all that much by just staying in Tokyo most of the time tbh).

I agree that is annoying/getting old about the jvloggers all doing the same old Tokyo and big city vlogs, there is almost no vlogging in other parts of Japan, like for instance Kyushu (other than Fukuoka where Micaela lives), Shikoku, Chugoku, and Hokkaido. Tokyo vlogging is so oversaturated and boring as hell.

No. 92046

idk i like their videos. I think they put some pretty good quality vlogs out there, compared to many other jvloggers. I love their editing and their humor.
I also think both are decent people.
Also i want to add to people who are like "If Martina is ill why does she go to japan?" that they even explained it in their video. They moved to Japan that suddenly /because/ her condition in getting worse and it always was her dream to go to japan. So they want to make it possible for her while she still can walk on her own feet.
I'm disgusted that some people here even go that far as to be gleeful about the fact Martina is ill. I wouldn't wish a condition like that upon anyone.
I'm also laughing about how many people are attacking their looks. Their faces are something they're born with. And i personally think they both look average, not ugly, not pretty but wtv

I could've sworn it was in the thread somewhere but I remember them saying that Soozee and Leigh were moving onto different projects with the end of EYK and that's why they were pulling out more in the past year, and they wanted a fresh start and not be bogged down by EYK people being like "OMG HOW IS MARTINA?" when they're working with a new vlogger/with a whole other type of production.

I don't think it's a jealousy thing, I mean any sort of exposure was great for EYK and they regularly had Soozee and Leigh on cam, especially for the games. But you could tell Leigh and Soozee were closer and Rose, Martina and Simon were a different group. I think it's because Soozee and Leigh were production and while Rose did do their website, she stayed in Korea to become a dancer/some sort of pop figure so she was more similar to them in craving the spotlight.

How were they using them? They were literally hired by them. It was their job to do all the shit. And thank god they did because Simon and Martina are clearly useless without a production crew, they've gotten super lazy since then.

Why are you being so irrational, anon? Soozee and Leigh's jobs were literally to film Simon and Martina.

And the resort hotel was a 'Christmas gift' to each other but I'm 100% sure that was sponsored as well because they plugged it like crazy in the comments, it seems to be a popular Korean resort and they probably want more foreigners.

EYK is their business. Obviously they get their income from it, so they will use their income on stupid shit like terrible haircuts or fatty foods all day. And if people were dumb enough to throw money at a youtube channel, especially one of foreigners in Asia, and think it was going to last, that's on them. I'm honestly surprised the channel lasted this long. I thought one of them would burn out by now and want to go back to Canada like that other channel, Hallyublack or whatever.

I know Leigh irl. Apparently S&M hired Soozee and Leigh under the gist that they were just a small company so they couldn't afford to pay their interns. Leigh was having trouble finding a company to intern with (she is doing her whole degree in Korea) so she chose them. They told her work would be minimal (a little editing here or there, creating effects on videos) since they couldn't pay. Then they did the gofundme and their viewers increased, so they basically had unpaid interns doing all the dirty work (filming, editing, uploading) while they just stood in front of the camera talking, and after their work was done they would jut order food and watch Netflix in their studio. She also told me that they are the kind of people that think making fun of someones mistakes/putting people down = funny and they would do that all the time. They really are shitty people

Pretty much just a shitty boss/miserable employee type of thing from the both of them. They put a lot of pressure on Leigh to put up the videos and edit them by a certain amount of time, so she seemed pretty done with them by the time the whole japan thing came up (I only met soozee like once, so idk her side).

Also remembering her shitting on them talking about always buying expensive coffees/cakes/cupcakes/new makeup/clothes and bringing them into the studio and always shoving them in their face while not paying her a cent lol I think leigh was paid so that they could qualify for some visa, but it was just minimum wage or some low amount.

People were speculating PDR Duncan was Simon and Martina's camera man, but they revealed the person is single, so that means it could be Duncan's friend PDSKabushikiGaisha because he is also half British half Japanese.

ok, I wasn't sure if Duncan was brother's with Dante because they did a video before about being brothers but said they were just joking, so I got confused.

And that reminds me, I know of a Russian Jvlogger girl who is bad at English and she is friends with the infamous terrible vlogger Kanadajin3 and I warned her about Kanadajin3 but since her English is not good she couldn't understand all the dirt on her on the forums since its all in English so she remains Kanadajin3's friend thinking she is a great person. I don't think anyone in their right mind would want to be Simon and Martina's slave since alot of people know about their past with Soozee and Leigh working them like slaves, so it would make sense if it was someone bad at English so they can't look stuff up about them.

But Dante is a really really famous Japanese youtuber. He's not a part of the foreigner j-vlogging crew, and he's only ever done collabs with Mimei in that regard, but only because that's his sister in law and they probably see each other a lot. Dante is pretty damn stupid, but not stupid enough to not see that he is way more relevant in the world of Japanese youtube than Simon and Martina. He is bigger than Mimei, Duncan, Rachel and Jun, Sharla, Mira, and Victor. He's like the 2008 Shane Dawson of Japanese youtube. Stupid yet is insanely popular and he and all the other top youtubers do collabs all of the time.

Simon and Martina are nobodies in Japan (as they were in Korea).

you are right about Dante being popular in Japan, his subscribers are about 940,719 (atm). But Simon and Martina have more subscribers at 969,038, but I know they didn't earn all those in Japan (the majority was already their base of followers from S.Korea). But even so maybe Mimei asked him to help them out? And since Dante is already making plenty of money from youtube maybe he doesn't care if he recieves money from them? I'm laughing though imagining Simon yelling orders at Dante. And since Dante is hyper just like Simon and Martina maybe they enjoy each other's goofy company? Though like you said it probably isn't Dante, but just the image of that in my head seems funny.

Tbh, I think they exaggerated Martina's condition in order to stop people questioning their move to Japan. If she can ~barely walk some days, why get a house full of stairs and ladders and a 20 minute walk from the station?

Also I know this has probably been said before, but the fact they said Soozee and Leigh "didn't want to be in the spotlight anymore" or w/e, when actually they've started their own channel, just shows how shady they are. You'd think the least they could do is promote their "friends" channel, especially after how much work they did for them for practically nothing.

Everything about her looks weird. Her hair seems too childish, her makeup and face are unfortunate and that body looks really poorly taken cared of. She seems a bit chubs tbh or maybe she just doesn't naturally have a nice figure. Simon looks like a hipster asshole though I'm starting to hate their looks so much.. But I still watch them because I like seeing things about Japan in English.

No. 97305

I agree. She has very visible nasolabial folds which makes her looked aged terribly, and those childish clothes and terrible makeup along with being fat with half shaved head are doing her no favors. She needs to cut back on eating so much crap and focus on putting on makeup foundation and dressing classy instead of like a 5 year old. Problem is she has huge childish tattoos all over her arm, so she should use her money to get them laser removed. Back in her first videos years ago she looked healthier and normal (that was before she did weird stuff to her hair and got a bunch of tattoos). Now she looks like a clown.

No. 98285

Ramen is very fattening, the soup base is filled with fat, thats why you see little oil bubbles in the liquid. I easily get a stomache from drinking too much ramen liquid. Martina probably eats ramen (restaurant one, not the instant kind) several times a week. And she probably gulps down all the ramen liquid/soup base. All her and Simon do is eat, eat and eat, and showcase eating on their videos the whole time they have been in Japan (and when they lived in Korea). It's like they have a one track mind of food and eating. Don't they have any other hobbies besides eating?! No wonder Martina is overweight.

it annoys me so much that they are putting out 'lessons' of shit they barely learned a few weeks ago when there are tons of videos like this out on the internet made by people with way more experience. If you want to track your learning progress, then make a vlog about it and share what you studied that week, and what your strengths and weaknesses were. Don't teach lessons on shit you don't know. For god's sake, Martina doesn't even know what the small ッ symbol meant, and called it "the little smiley face thing." Ugh.

Why don't they just sign up for classes? They've got more than enough money. That's what baffles me so much about their lack of Korean ability. They could have afforded to take classes at one of the best language schools in the country that was literally a 20 minute walk at the most from their studio. They could have bought a cheaper apartment and signed up for professional Japanese lessons. Martina said that living in Japan was a dream she has 'since she was a kid' and she literally waited until she was 30 years old two weeks into living there to actually sit down and learn the freaking katakana? And kek, simon going on and on about how he was going to learn the language to be able to speak to their new neighbors.

No it isn't. Bandai did a lot of collabrations with expensive fashion and designer brands such as Qu-Pot, Anna Sui, SV…, whith $350+ bags, expensive jewellery and clothes etc. They sure put out some cheaper stuff like phone cases, but many of the items are designed and intended for a female audience who watched the 90s anime, and is now in their 20ies or 30ies and have enough money to afford all this brand new expensive brand merchandise.

>I don't know of any Japanese adult females (late 20s-30s) that buy or talk about Sailor Moon.

Probably because they keep their mouth shut and their power level low. I can't imagine it woud have much positiveeffect if you reveal yourself as a crazy Sailor Moon fangirl to the public in Japan.

Simon is weirdly attached and way too dependent on Martina in his daily life.

He quit his job to be a youtuber but couldn't stand the fact that Martina wanted to keep her regular job as a teacher and he wanted them to work together 24/7. And the way that he talks about their love is really creepy too. I don't know how to explain it.

>>138690
It took them a very long time to reach 1mil subs. I think they only reached that goal last year? They were a niche in Korea. I'm not ashamed to say I used to watch EYK back when they were just reviewing kpop videos with kpop music monday. It started off as them sending blogs to their parents in Canada and let them know South Korea isn't North Korea, but then they got popular as canadians in SKorea, talking about music shit. They used to be entertaining and kind of endearing, but the fame went to their head.

Then for some reason they got a huge fanbase who supported them on kickstarter to get their studio and even travel around the world to speak at conventions. What did they speak about? I honestly don't know.

Their music mondays and food segments are what made me like them at first. They seemed really excited to share new stuff with people, especially with the music. I loved how they would also show other types of Korean music like indie stuff, instead of the usual "TOP 10 KPOP BANDS HERE IS BIG BANG"

Now I cannot sit through 5 minutes of their long ass EYS episodes. It's a completely different channel and it's so dull. Even their food segments are boring because it's just yakiniku/sushi/food that we've seen 50 million times already.

Nailed it. Also it annoys me that they made everything about themselves rather than about the country… Like… I would rather maybe learn something about Tokyo Tower, the university or the best Manga Café but i only see them having an awkward ass fuck weekly challenge, talking about how great they are and when they are travelling wherever and so on and so on.

I sympathise with her, but at the same time as the anon said, why get a house with stairs? Also, why buy bikes? And her having to sit down/be less mobile isn't limiting to their videos. Their previous EYK videos were largely sitting. They could easily go back to their music mondays/item reviews, hell, they could get local food probably delivered or get Simon to record the getting the food segment and then they eat the food at home if Martina can't leave that day.

You can easily work around her immobility.

No. 141672

>>141564
Didn't they stop music monday's because they didn't really follow the latest music anymore? and also because the fans would fight each other to death after each episode like the obsessed kpop fans they were?

Also maybe they bought bikes because at least now she can still somewhat enjoy it.
Don't get me wrong, I"m not trying to whiteknight them (even if I'll admit that I think they're fine other then a tad bit cringy at this point) but I can't imagine how it is knowing you will get more and more immobile.

Would like to see them go back to music monday's though.

No. 141674

It doesn't have to be music mondays, but I just miss their segments tbh. I'm in the same boat, I don't hate them or anything, I just think they've become a weird mix of boring and cringe since they've moved to Japan.

And true, I definitely get what you mean about them trying to live life to the fullest until Martina can't really move anymore, but at the same time shouldn't they have taken some care with like a single story house? It sucks they had to get rid of the EYKmobiles, those were probably great for them in Seoul.

No. 141679

>>141674
I agree, their segments is what was the most fun to me. These days I don't really watch/follow them anymore, but that's also because they cater more to the 15 year old weeabo/koreaboo audience. Which is fine by me, it's what pays the bills, it's just not for me anymore.

As for the housing, I agree and am kinda curious what made them decide to live there instead of on ground floor.

In the end, I just can't help feel sad that Martina, who's still pretty young, will loose her mobility. That's some nightmare shit to me. I guess due to that I"m willing to just let them be a couple weebs for as long as they want to. Dunno how that opinion is here exactly, but I always thought they were a cute couple and I just hope the best for them.

I wish I could read Korean because the Korean to English google translate is notoriously shit, but from what I could make out a lot of the hating comments from Koreans are pretty petty?

Like they seem weirdly obsessed with the fact that EYK said it was hard to find a place with a bathtub in Korea but they had a place with a tub in Seoul or something. Also they just seem really upset that EYK is talking positive about Japan and were negative about Korea but they just moved to Japan so obviously they won't have as much bad stuff to say? Like I'm sure after 8 years or whatever in Japan they'd have videos talking about bad experiences as well.

I don't think they only complained though. They made videos on issues in Korea like the prostitution industry and the whole 'respect your elders at all costs' thing which I didn't see as complaints. Most of their videos were happy and promoting Korea.

Honestly, I never understood why people hate them that much, they're doing fine. If they try to be informative they're hateful cunts against Korea, if they aren't they're ignorant cunts that are hateful against Korea.

I mean wasn't the whole 'slut-shaming' thing because of a single small comment during some Hyuna centered music monday?

tbh, i just think the people going on about how they are disrespectful are the minority. A lot of people just think they are annoying, unfunny immature gross hipsters.

Most of the Korean comments on that video were just calling them gross lmfao and saying things like "There are men on abnormal summit who have been learning Korean for 3 years, yet these two idiots can hardly be understood" which is hilarious because their Korean skills are just the worst

I will agree with you on the fact that they never properly learned Korean despite living in South Korea for nearly a decade is insulting. However, they spoke up on a lot of subjects that people almost never discuss in Korea, such as public drunkenness, sexism, the beauty standards of men vs women in Korea, gender inequality, etc etc and I really liked that they did that.

They always stated that their experiences were their opinions and NOT a fact or generalization on all of South Korea, but people will were like 'whaa whaa, you're generalizing so much, Simon!!'

They're kind of annoying now in Japan, but I genuinely liked their segments about info on random subjects in Korea.

i read this whole thread and didn't see anyone mention this so….

waaaay before simon and martina did the north american tour, there were facebook groups that represented a region of the US that were coordinating how to bring simon and martina over. at the time i was a big fan of eyk so i joined my region's group. eventually, the leader of my group said she spoke to soozee (or someone at eyk) and managed to get costs for the trip, which included roundtrip airfare tickets (in fucking business class (minimum) because simon is too tall for coach and martina can't sit in those seats because of her disorder, and hotel/airbnb stays. the fans were also the ones who scouted the locations and venues for these meet ups (and probably paid for them too). i'm not sure but i think spending money for food and touristy stuff, and maybe even car rental/gas was thrown in there too. i don't really remember though

not only that, but this specific trip brought over soozee and leigh as well (whom i still love so nothing against them), so 4 tickets and accomodations needed to be paid for.

so yeah, apparently, on all of these tours and fan meets, the fans fund the bills, which immediately turned me off when i found that out and started my declining interest in eyk.

I mean, they make a living off on youtube… did they not think of looking on youtube for tutorials? Uniqlo has a really well made one (for putting on a yukata and a seperate one for obi tying) and I watched their obi tying tutorial and can tie it pretty well by myself after following and watching the video twice. It's absolutely nooooooot hard.

It made sense but at the same time they are comparing two vastly different experiences. Like in Seoul they lived in the centre and if I remember right even in the party district, so obviously it was extremely crowded and busy. If they had gone to a suburb like where they are now in Japan it probably would have been very similar.
Also putting in their experiences as a boss vs just a preformer for a parent company is also not the best way to compare their experiences because obviously one is a lot more work than the other. Like maybe if they would've joined that one company that like every kvlogger is in right now it would've been a better comparison?

Either way I know I'm being nitpicky, I just didn't see their comparison as that great. I would've liked maybe a lifestyle comparison and then professional one or something.

Came to complain about one of their newest videos. I've been meaning to unsubscribe from them for years since I haven't been watching their videos. Decided to watch this one randomly.

Cringiest fucking thing I've seen in a long time, I honestly think they're getting worse. They're in a ramen shop talking like excitable 14 year old weebs and trying to make their noodles that are swimming in oil and a pig skull look like food porn by slowing them down. They keep slurping their noodles really loudly as Simon explains how it's some kind of superior way of eating and Martina scoffs at him for not knowing how to do it (yay Martina! would you like a pat on the back?). Just because the Japanese do it, doesn't mean you have to you weebs. Then as Martina is explaining some of the history of the place Simon slurps right into his microphone and makes grunting noises so that she's inaudible.

I feel ill, finally unsubscribed.

What makes me really angry about them is that their videos never evolve. They are so self-centered that they forget to take their content to a higher level.

When they film in that ramen shop i din't believe for one second that they do it to show us what ramen in japan is like but rather show us how awesome they are and what cool shit they get to do in japan.

Back in korea they at least had some humor going a long with it (fapfap and wanks) now they are just two greasy weebs with fucked up hair who brag about their awesome life in tokyo, dropping a disease/anxiety/depression video from time to time so viewers "connect". The whole channel is cringe.

Lol sorry. I think it's just the fact that the food they're eating isn't that nice? Like if it was a lovely colourful ramen that was photogenic I'd understand why you'd want to film it.

You're spot on. They even cover things that have been done to death just as a reminder that they are INDEED still in Japan. Some of their recent video titles: Training in Samurai City, What is Tonkotsu Ramen?, What is Onigiri?, One Year in Japan!, Japanese White Strawberries…for $40?!?!

Just look how many subscribers and views people get for mere kpop reaction videos, there's were silly but so much more creative.

I seriously wonder what they live off nowadays, their latest videos are mainly streams and have less than 100k views, that's nowhere near enough for Tokyo…

if you ever watch the video he has about his tattoos, he mentions he has had really bad depression for a long time and planned to kill himself, and meeting martina gave him a reason to live. watching her slowly spiral into sickness is probably taking a huge toll on him, and already having underlying depression will make everything a million times worse. when spudgy died and they did a stream in remembrance, he was the one who had tears in his eyes/was crying constantly meanwhile martina was upset but every time she was going to crack she sucked it back in and stayed chipper.

They’ve moved back to Canada.

They put a “bye (for now) japan” little caption in there, which makes me wonder if they really intend on going back to live there again. Curious as to what their content will be now since they’ve always banked on showcasing the food and culture of Korea/Japan to Westerners. What do you show Westerners when you’re back to living in the West with no way to travel back? I was thinking maybe they could do what KEMan does with flying back and forth, but I doubt they have the money for it, plus it’d probably be a big strain on Martina’s body. KEMan also has a huge Korean audience so they have no problem showcasing aspects of the west and having a lot of success with it (plus their colorful cast of friends and family), but EYK rarely feature guests in their channels and I think most of their audience is just westerners. I think this is a big make or break moment in their careers.

They definitely should have stayed in Korea, but I enjoyed their Japan videos, and Korea and Japan both suck as a whole with handicap accessibility so I get traveling to as many countries with little to no handicap availability in most Asian countries as they could while Martina was still able to get around with just a cane.

I think overall they're going to really slow down their Youtube production or may quit all together, especially if Simon is going back to school. If COVID-19 prolongs them further enough from going back and Martina ends up being wheelchair bound by the time they're able to, I don't think they'll be able to go back anyway. That is probably what will happen.

I know everyone was really critical of them 1. getting their Seoul office in a building that didn't have an elevator and 2. renting a 2 story home because of Martina's disability and I think it's valid criticism, but I don't think either one of them really knew how quickly Martina would deteriorate. From an outsider, it seemed obvious but the two of them always seemed to be in denial. (Their channel is over ten years old and Martina's EDS has gotten waaay worse in the past 2 years.)

I also see this "make or break moment", as a break tbh; people subscribed to them for Korea/Japan videos. If they made it clear that they will return to Japan when they're able to, I don't think this would have a lasting effect on their videos. But saying that they may never return? Midnight munchies and build a letter videos ain't it.

Oh shit, good catch anon. I thought maybe they were just a couple who didn't wear their rings, but skimming through some old videos, they're wearing them.

I know they must love their pets equally, but it always felt like Martina favored Spudgy a little more and Simon favored Meemers a little more so I was a little surprised when Martina didn't show up in the Fudgy video. I chalked it up to her EDS being really bad, but if they aren't together anymore, I wouldn't be surprised if Martina never finds herself ready for another dog. I remember seeing Martina get super choked up at Simon mentioning getting another dog (I think the Totoro cream puff video).

Given that they had to quarentine, I want to give the benefit of a doubt that they each had to go back to their respective family homes and then they just uploaded the videos later. Especially since Meemers was with Martina in her video and then suddenly Meemers was in the video with the new dog despite Martin's first video being during mandatory quarantine.

Seems odd that if they weren't together anymore the cat would be shuffled around from place to place, especially if Simon is more attached to the cat.

I don't believe that, but I'm not sure why they wouldn't be wearing rings. I can believe Martina maybe some kind of joint issue (I don't know shit about EDS but maybe it could swell her joints?) but Simon not wearing one seems really weird. Are we sure that they used to? I'd be genuinely pretty sad if they broke up. As cringey as they could be they seemed really good together.

I always wonder what they live off, even when in Japan, their views are just way too little. Plus now they're no longer young, they moved to Korea over a decade ago and I don't think they really worked in different fields pre-youtube, so what will Simon work as, who's gonna hire him?

They’ve already changed their YouTube about section to include the new dog. I think it would be weird if they chose to update their profile like this before announcing that theyre broken up, which makes me think they’re separated temporarily.

I think Martina is just quarantining separately from Simon before she moves in with him at their new place. Simon very likely went over first to quarantine and then set up their new place so she could just move over, and after her quarantine, move in where Simon has already got everything settled. Makes sense to me tbh I don’t think they’re breaking up

As someone mentioned, the ring thing may be Martina not wearing it because of her joints, or it could be avoiding the constant handwashing with the ring. The first thing that came to mind for Simon was he is getting in shape, and he is losing weight, so his fingers may be slimmer now and he needs to get his ring adjusted to fit again. Just an idea there.

As for their channel, I don't think it is necessarily dead, it just may be changing audiences and direction. Their channel has been doing that since it began honestly. From life in Korea, to K-pop, to an eating channel, and now it is going to change again. They will still have a dedicated audience as well as gaining new members of it due to the change. I do wonder where their channel will go to now. I'm glad Martina is home and closer to family now. I think that is best for both of them all around.

And yeah, what is the thing with Fudgy. You would think that name would be too close to Spudgy. I didn't even own Spudgy and the name kind of unnerves me. But it's their dog in the end, so if they are happy, so be it.

I've seen comments (can't find them again anymore) from people on their newer videos who have also noticed neither of them wearing their rings and seeming to live apart. They did like a few comments, mainly the ones saying "they wouldn't have split! also their relationship isn't our business!"

nah I think its more that their brand is centered around their relationship and knowing that they split for good would affect that brand greatly. I don't blame them for being hesitant to announce it. It's likely it's not even final.

Guess they’re just on a break but don’t want to really announce it straight up. Simon’s mentioned marriage counseling, and someone who follows him on goodreads saw that he was reading a book called “8 dates” or something that’s supposed to be a self help/relationship book. It’s not easy to announce that things are rocky with your partner of 12?? years, who’s relationship with is a central part of your social media presence, but there must really be something going on behind the scenes if they can’t even fake post “Hey guys! Nothing to worry about! We’re just not wearing our rings bc of constant hand washing/other excuse, etc etc. We’re still happily married!” Honest to a fault I guess lol

I know in one of their Japan trips talking about COVID-19 there, Simon went into a park and talked about how hard he was struggling with being a partner of EDS.

No. 1036096

I agree. They both have depression which isn't good and top of that Simon's life was becoming Martina's caregiver.. and I'm not blaming Martina at all, her EDS isn't her fault but if you're already struggling with depression then make your whole life about caring for someone else, it's going to effect your mental health.

No. 1036123

Not to sound like an asiaboo, but going to a western country after spending years in Japan or SK can be traumatic on its own, can’t imagine what it must be like with all the other shit on top of it. If I remember correctly, they loved Japan and having to go back to Canada to accept help from their families must be hard.

No. 1037542

>>1036035
Pretty much what >>1036074, >>1036096 and >>1036123 said. For example, whenever Simon would "flaunt" his great husband status by giving Martina flowers, I always took it that he was trying to convince himself he was a good husband. That is, he couldn't help Martina with the actual problems in her life, so he had to try and make up for it with small gestures and saying how great he was as a husband. Not to mention they're only in their thirties with no kids. Normally they'd be living their lives doing what they wanted. Instead, in Japan at least, they lived like many older married couples live - mostly isolated where the healthier partner is a caregiver to the other. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with taking care of your spouse, but if Simon has certain aspirations for his life, he obviously can't accomplish his own goals in life taking care of Martina alone. Imagine having to take care of all the chores of owning a house and pets, finances and work, AND leaving your partner alone when going out for fear they fall and get hurt.
And as for Martina, I'm sure coming to terms with the fact that you need to take a step back has been difficult, such as moving back to Canada and needing help from others.
Definitely not easy, but taking a break is certainly a positive way to see if your relationship is worth it. I can't really imagine them both moving back to Japan and starting this cycle all over again, but maybe Simon could.

I think Simon has always been into Japan stuff, just not big on necessarily living there.
But now that he's already lived there, he's probably already met a decent amount of Japanese women who would hook up with him when Martina kicks the bucket.
Nothing against Martina, but living with someone who is slowly dying is probably very emotionally painful, and the mind probably can't help but look towards what's going to happen next.
Especially if you're a nice guy like Simon who probably wants to be a dad.

No. 1055143

Good question, I don't think it would've been Spudgy or a decline in ad revenue, so that leaves Martina's health. My tinfoil is the pressure of a future spent being her caregiver might've broken Simon, who said that he wants to live for himself for at least awhile. What was going to be a temporary thing of them living separately is probably now looking more and more permanent, and thus Martina's anger in that comment.

The things she says he will make a video about are pretty shallow, as if she's thinking to herself, "the dumb things he chose over me…working out, a new dog, and school to be a (whatever simon thinks he'll be)"

I wish they'd just come out and address it. I get that we're not owed an explanation but they're just going to have to keep fielding these questions if they don't come out and say anything. Like I said, I think at first Simon sold it to her as a temporary thing and that's why they didn't come out and say anything for a long time, but Martina is starting to see through that and she's mad.

But this is problematic for Martina because their whole brand is being a super close couple and now that her income is endangered (and she’s disabled without many other options probably) then she’s probably upset about that

Martina looks bad bitterly commenting on Simon's choice to focus on other things (though she has every right to be), Simon looks bad for leaving his chronically ill wife despite constantly harping on and on about doing so much for her for the greater part of the past near decade they've been online (e.g. the morning routine videos where he shows how he preps everything for her before she wakes up, the tattoo video where he says she was his reason for living, other mentions of learning how to do her hair and makeup for her because she will most likely be unable to at some point).

I was a big fan of them back in their korea days, because I thought they were cute. I saw them on their tour shortly before they moved to JP and the meet and greet was pretty awkward - simon just seemed so mentally done with the brand.

They were successful enough to have a custom EYK car and ship it to the US from KR for their tour + the cafe and studio rent.

They really only moved to Japan because it was a bucketlist thing to do before Martina got so bad she was physically incapable of it.

It depends on the illness. Martina has EDS so she will have her mobility decrease over time because it effects connective tissues.

The whole bucketlist moving to Japan was pretty overdramatic because if she had actually taken care of her illness before it got bad she would have had a much better chance of have more healthy mobile years. Most people with EDS seem to do physical therapy, braces and medication to help them keep functional for the longest possible time.

His eyes are like a dead salmon's in one of their sushi videos

ugh that pissed me off so bad and was in such poor taste. no he doesn’t have to tell his fans shit if he doesn’t want to but the fact it’s always been him and Martina and they’re clearly separated is freaking fans out. He knows everyone is worried and finds it amusing instead of biting the bullet and just telling fans outright to quit the rumors and speculation. He’s so fucking self absorbed and into himself and this video showed it in full view, even without the elephant in the room joke.

No. 1058404

I don't think they need to tell fans about what's going on really but it just rubs me the wrong way that they've built their life off people caring about them and their relationship, the least they could do is say that they need time to address it and to not worry. Instead of joking about it so flippantly.

It also feels weird, the video felt like I was watching a cult leader. I feel like he's gone the complete opposite to his relationship and vibe to distance himself if you know what I mean. They were loud and excitable and he's just flipped that to another extreme.

He has the crazy cultleader look going. I always had this hunch that they are in a codependent relationship which was exacerbated by external factors - being a minority in a foreign culture, him needing to be Martina's caretaker, etc. and perhaps he felt the need to redefine himself as an individual human being?? But this change is still fucking extreme

I know some people think that they don't owe anyone an explanation. But these two really built their channel off of their relationship. We watched them as a pair for years! It was them as a unit exploring Korea and then Japan. That's why people subbed and have stuck around. The elephant in the room joke wasn't justified. People are clearly worried, and you can't just write off their fans as shallow people who just want the tea, gossip and drama videos. Do they realize that? Probably not. Simon's video didn't resolve anything.

Super fucking weird to make sooo many videos showing what an amazing, dedicated husband, then separating back in Canada and now he's the "happiest he's been in a long time." Dude, what?

To all of the people justifying Simon taking a break from the marriage because of having to take care of Martina for so long by himself. I know marrying someone with a chronic illness is very hard and they did develop some strong, unhealthy co-dependency back in Asia. No one is saying that Simon has had it easy in their marriage. But Simon has known about Martina's condition since they started dating. He willingly signed up for taking on Martina's disorder with her. I feel bad for Martina if this the case.

i understand they want privacy especially since they have been together for so long, it can hurt.
But, its ironic that Martina posted this >>1055069 with the username "Simon & Martina". Of course people are going to ask, of course people are going to want to know whats happening, and of course people will pick up on stuff, especially when one half of the channel just picked up and left with no explanation.

They can address it in their own time but Martina needs to be less salty to her fans who are clearly just worried about it.

I also thought Simon seemed gay at first and was surprised they were a couple. Simon seems less gay now than he did in Korea, but as of RIGHT now he seems like a totally lost weirdo with no identity. My guess is mid-life crisis & divorce. Weird how fast it was though, those streams of them from a few months ago in Japan seemed pretty happy, quarantine notwithstanding.

There's nothing wrong with finding yourself and obviously no one here knows what Simon was like before he and Martina became a couple and even though its actually been a couple of months this seems like such a drastic change.

Maybe that's why everyone is saying this is unsettling, because we didn't see the change happen as it was happening and now we're all left with this very different Simon.

I still think he looks sickly and like he hasn't been sleeping but I genuinely hope he's okay and is getting the help he needs outside of mindfulness and meditation.

I always thought he was gay as well. Always felt like he was overcompensating when he was trying to proof how manly he truly is. Him constantly saying ''dothraki man warrior''was super cringy to me.

That said, if he's straight then he was def someone who adjusted himself for Martina and that might be why it seems like he's having some identity crisis. He did genuinely loved Korea and Japan, but all the cringy shit he did to appease the fans felt like it was all Martina.

Simon discovered weightlifting, running, and meditation while Martina is literally sick in bed. She can't participate in any of these activities with him, so Simon for the first time in his life is developing lifestyle changes independent of Martina. This coupled with Martina probably becoming a very bitter human (justifiably, she's in 24/7 pain) has pulled them apart even more than ever. They're probably good for life with the money they've made from youtube and were probably only sticking around in Japan for content more than anything. It would be really nice to see them get back together after this, with Simon a more independent person, but I don't know if Martina will ever be fit for a relationship and especially be able to make content like they used to.

I feel so bad for Martina. Maybe it's jumping to conclusions but I often see men who get into 'self improvement', especially with regards to fitness, become super arrogant and pretentious about it.

Lots of the video seemed like an indirect jab at Martina.
>”I’m spending a whole year on my own wellness project, instead of pouring my hours into planning, and filming, and editing, and publishing videos. I want to spend that time on developing myself”
>”I’ve been reaching out and spending time with friends and family who I’ve lost touch with for more than a decade and it feels great to have that love and support from people who care about me”
>”It’s been a hell of a ride to get from Japan to where I am now and it’s not been easy but I feel really great, I feel happy, deeply happy, I feel connected, I feel at peace, I feel very good”
>”I feel that challenges are tests given to us by the gods, and at the end of it you can look back and it and see did you handle it with grace and dignity? And I hope I can look back at this time and say that I’ve done just that, even if I had to do it single handedly”

Yeah, he gives off a real visceral "no thanks" vibe in that picture. I think it is the empty eyes, completely shiny head, and weird half smile.

Someone mentioned it on Reddit but the broken hand thing is a huge red flag too. Not only because of the joke but 2 car accidents in a week paired with the way he is acting is very worrying. He doesn’t look, sound or act in good health in the recent video. I worry Martina’s mental health may decline too even just through the way he is acting. Even if they aren’t together, seeing the huge change in Simon will obviously put stress on her. I really do hope they are both ok in terms of physical and mental health but honestly this recent video has just made everything seem much more alarming than it previously was

i think Martina is angry bc she knows Simon will be OK after the break up, and she thinks she would struggle.

i hope they get together but come on… look at Simon's dead fucking face. he's not going back to being her caregiver lmao he's really had enough

Generally it's a healthy thing to have hobbies and activities that don't involve your partner. Being in each other's pockets all the time isn't good for a relationship.

I feel like he's felt sort of directionless since he came back from Asia so he's jumped into healthy wellness guru 110% and can base himself around that instead of addressing any actual issues. Bit different to just deciding to take up running to get a bit fitter or something, seems more of a fuck you to Martina who can't get healthier.

No. 1059057

I agree completely & I didn't mean to make it sound like a negative thing. I just think it's part of what drove them away from each other for the time being considering he's 30 something years old and probably only now discovering who he is, separate from his partner.

Also I'm pretty sure he got into fitness and more specifically weight lifting to prepare his body for Martina as she becomes unable to walk/ falls more frequently. I forget what video he mentions this is. I dont think he did it to spite her; that would be some serious resentment

To put it bluntly, you guys are really underestimating Simon’s ability to be manipulative. What’s more likely is that Simon started working out and losing weight because he wants another partner.

He’s riding on the weight loss high and it’s actually caused more arrogance and mania, if you pay attention to his mannerisms at the beginning of the video, how he was posing his hands, the way he walked to the chair dramatically to sit down so he can show off his body—he is high off the smell of his own shit right now.

Idk the eyes give me more of a coke vibe. Weightloss, "connecting" with people he hasn't seen in decades, along with the whole "I haven't slept since 2016" vibe, my tinfoil is that he used to do excersise shit before getting into the party scene with "friends" he's met on tindr or other random dating apps.

I feel sad for her too, and it makes you realize how peoples priorities can change completely in such a short amount of time. She was his reason to keep living and apparently helped pull him out from a bad depressive episode, he knew about her illness and loved her for years and then suddenly working out and a dog seems to be his focus and she's left in the dust.

Idk something might have happened or martina could be an asshole behind closed doors, but if his reason to leave is really just to find himself i think that's scummy. He could work on the codependency and his own physical and mental health without separating and moving away from his sick partner. It's hard to care for someone with an illness like this but he knew she had it and chose to keep going.

No. 1059282

I also don’t get a cheating vibe from this, or Simon specifically. I got NO sexual energy from them as a couple or him as a person, so I can’t imagine him risking his status quo for some strange. I feel like it’s way more butn out of being her caregiver…but that is a role he made for himself anyway. He took on too much to try and look good, and now he’s swinging the other way.

honestly, as much i wouldn't want to be too harsh on Simon since this is a hard situation, imagine being his emotional support (let's not forget he literally had no will to live) through the best years of your life and now when shit hits the fan, he leaves because he found something else to base his entire personality on. hope he will at least have the decency to continue visiting Martina and helping out her/her family after the divorce

Caught up on thread, sad to hear what happened but not at all shocked.

Simon absolutely looks like he's had enough of what he probably considers Martinas "bitching". I think he felt the relationship became too suffocating once she could no longer go out as easily. Before it wasnt so bad since she could still do fun things. Now? She's just a housecat laying around howling for food and attention every night. While I dont think they were the most sexual couple, there's no such thing as a man who doesnt like sex, so I also suspect that once it became too painful for Martina to EVER put out, he probably threw in the towel and decided it was time to make some serious changes. No man is nice enough to live with a woman who won't fuck him, not unless its just a friend.

So he likely friendzoned Martina and began his self discovery journey which consisted of working out and telling himself that he's the hottest new bachelor in town and that things will be different in life now because he's in shape, has money, and has a bit of popularity in his pocket too. If he stayed with Martina any longer he probably would have just ended up the next Chris Watts/Scott Peterson lol. I feel sorry for Martina, but a man suddenly getting in shape? That's classic "I'm leaving you" behavior. If you doubt that its because you've been fortunate enough to not see it happen to anyone yet.

I know it was a rare neurodegenerative disease. I feel like they mentioned the name in an Instagram post at one point on Canada Day, but I could be wrong. Either way, looks similar to ALS in my opinion - slowly losing general mobility of your body. But I can't say for sure that's what it was.

In the new video, when he first walked in and sat down, it gave me such feminine vibes. Sure, showing off your skinniness, but the way he did it was very feminine. But since he was married for so long to a woman, I wonder if (assuming the gay rumours are true) either he's bisexual, or he was a lot more religious previously and felt it would be better to hide his homosexuality.

Also, based on his comment of "wellness project for a year", makes me think that maybe the two of them decided they'd take a break for a year to focus on themselves. Also, based on his meditation-focused lifestyle, could be he is using marijuana, but through the form of oils. Also reminds me of people who do MDMA or LSD - they always liked telling me how present it made them feel and how they saw the world in a new light. Granted, those people also tended to tell me how great it was and how I should join their cult, but who knows.

No. 1061117

YT put this on my recommended, and wow it did not age that well. It makes me sad because around 9:24, Martina says "and Simon could have definitely left me" in regards to her being (admittedly) shitty while dealing with grief over her dad's condition. She immediately goes into talking about people who have emailed her, who also have EDS, who said their partners have left them. It's sad to see that happen to her now. They also mention going to couples therapy in this episode too, which is from March 2019, so they've been going for a while now.

Did anyone else find he was speaking really slowly in that video? I had to bump it to 1.25x speed to have him talking at a normal pace.

I doubt they will get back together after the break. As ugly as Simon is, I'm sure he'd find a female friend within the year, confide in her about Martina, the demands and 24/7 support she needed, "it was so draining.." The only hurdle would be family, couples like that have intertwined family trees.

I don't know a lot about them, have they ever talked about having kids? Simon's on a "discovery journey" (read: quarter life crisis), so I doubt that's on his mind, but they're not the youngest, they'll be reeling from the break up, so if they wanted to have kids, they'll be rather old in time they have their first child.

On a positive note, this may be good for Martina. Being less dependant on someone, maybe she'll grow out of her stupid immaturity and cringeworthy behaviour.

Simon's video just shows he's currently stuck in a bubble, God, the way he entered that video gave me the creeps. Who'll tell him he ain't shit? He always gave me a narcissist vibe. Good riddance.

My thoughts exactly, might sound like a wk but she isn't bothering anyone with her cringe and to be frank, if it brings her joy in her sickness, go for it.

Speaking of ana vibes, but tinfoil-

I wonder if his journey of intense exercise in the past became more than simply training his body to help with the physical demands of Martina's deteriorating health.

Exercise and calorie counting can also be a way to exert control when other aspects are beyond your control (i.e., not being able to stop the progressiveness of Martina's disease and feeling helpless over it.)

So I wonder if his ana-chan state is him overexercising or restricting out of cope, even if they are no longer together.

If I'm right, that is really sad.

Yeah, they were cringe (at least in the last couple years I watched them) in a pretty acceptable way. And 100% Martina was at least not a spoonie weirdo, she had interests outside of her illness and tried her best not to let it control her life OR her content. Simon also seemed like a pretty decent guy, and they seemed like a cute couple. That's what makes this sad and weird.

I've seen people saying Simon seeming SO different and Martina seeming relatively the same makes them think that maybe Martina is the one who called things off…but I still think it is Simon. Its just hard to imagine somebody who relied on their partner as much as she did (through no fault of her own) saying hey, go live in your own place while I shack up with my elderly mother. Agreed Simon has ana vibes now, he's looking gaunt and NOT healthy at all. And if what he said is true he lost like 50 lbs in a matter of months, 10 lbs on a month on a man who wasn't obese seems excessive and really fast.

No. 1061265

Tbh I feel like people are too keen to blame and demonise one of them. I think sometimes bad things happen that are just no ones fault and this is one of those things. Obviously her being sick isn’t her fault and if she feels bitterness towards him or the situation I think it’s understandable but at the same time I think someone wanting their life to be more than being someone’s full time carer and reaching a breaking point of how draining and depressing that situation can be and needing to move on for your own well being is also understandable and him trying to gain some independence and control of his life through working out or whatever probably isn’t indicative of some malicious plot on his behalf. This seems like just a genuinely sad situation where they are both victims and has probably been years in the making.

I mean, could be. There was his video of explaining his tattoos in which he seemed very emotional and he actually had a big portion of his sleeve based on martina or how she gave his life a meaning and all that. They were both very co-dependent in different ways, but simon seemed, at least in that video, kinda too much. Back then I kept thinking what if something awful happens to martina, as his whole mental health seemed to be built around her, now I just wish all my best to martina and hope simon gets help with his whateverthefuck. babes, your post looks like a reddit post

God, Simon is disturbing. I gave him the benefit of the doubt until he started talking about changing the Youtube platform as if he has any control over how it's run. Delusions of grandeur, much?

That being said, I've had a family member who had chronic pain and it can be tough for everyone around them. After a few years, they were divorced and had poisoned 99% of their relationships. I think Martina is handling her pain better than my family member, but if she's dealing with something that debilitating and taking medication for it, it can be a source of a lot of issues.

Based on this thread/the stuff on instagram/their youtube videos, signs point towards yes. they're definitely living in two separate places. their bios on youtube no longer say "happily married." However, neither of them have confirmed it for sure yet.

It is shitty to go on vacation during the pandemic but I thought it was funny how much their community which was all about mental health acceptance and shit turned on him and were like "Depression is NO excuse! Simon sucks and his dog is ugly." Either you believe mental illness can cause people to do shitty things that they should then be forgiven for, or you don't. You shouldn't just get to pick and choose which ones are acceptable and which ones aren't because one of them is a guy who hurt the feelings of a spoonie koreaboo that you identify with. And I like Martina too, but if Simon truly has depression and whatever mental health issues, shouldn't he be shown some kindness or whatever, for building a ladder or something?

Seems like it will probably be Martina, considering she's the one who's made the most content the past few months and the one fans all seem to be siding with. I feel sort of bad for Simon, it must be tough to be so hated by people who once held you up as some sort of paragon of male virtue. I mean he fucked up with the Hawaii trip and is acting very weird in general, but he has had depression and his own mental health issues. I believe that caretaker burnout shit, if the person I loved was getting more and more ill it would be really hard to watch. Not that it is her fault she's sick of course, but we also don't know all the details. Maybe Martina wasn't working on something that would've helped her, like physical therapy or whatever. I know a few chronically ill people that neglect themselves and their potential treatment because it is overwhelming and depressing to try and salvage something that you know is going away anyway…who the fuck knows. If they truly just grew apart and there wasn't cheating or any other specific catalyst, it is sad and I feel bad for both of them.

samefag but here's a good example from the subreddit of the kind of fans who 6 months ago were probably wishing their boyfriends were more like Simon, and now are accusing him of "abandoning his puppy" in addition to obsessing over calling him out for Hawaii. Just seems a little excessive, I think he gets it, everyone is upset with him. If the pandemic wasn't a factor accusing him of neglecting his dog because he went on vacation is deranged. Then needing so badly to find out if people saw you dragging him that you log in to your boyfriend's Facebook to make sure they didn't delete the comment? Take it easy man. He's just some guy.

I did not see it coming, but I had a bad feeling when Simon released a video last year and he kept claiming that he was happy and finding peace in meditation while he looked like he was about to cry. Then I knew something was wrong with him, so I am not surprised they are getting divorced. The pandemic has caused a lot of marriages and relationships to break up.

I feel bad for Martina, she seems like a sweet woman (although annoying at times) and dealing with chronic illnesses. I hope she keeps the channel since she clearly enjoys vlogging and she was the one who edited all their videos. Simon can fuck off and go find his own path.

Yeah, definitely not amicable. It may have started off that way for whatever reason but Martina felt burned by something eventually to throw Simon to the dogs like that. If I still loved someone I wouldn't necessarily offer up such a tasty bit of gossip like, "he's in hawaii during a pandemic!" to our former fans - unless I wanted to see him get torn a new asshole.

Personally my tinfoil is they moved back to Canada as a couple, maybe taking some "time apart", but as the months went by Simon started treating her badly or making it more clear that he wanted a permanant split, so she became more and more passive aggressive in comments. WHen they first moved for example there were pictures of Martina with Fudgy and I think even a picture of her in that Toronto apartment? Either way, I think it started off amicable/potentially temporary, and became permanent due to something Simon did, or said.

No. 1161765

damn.. to think their long time dream/goal of living in a japan ended up in their divorce. I wonder if martina wanted to live in japan longer… they could of, moving to a 1 floor house or apartment seems like a more reasonable alternative. I think everyone assumed they moved back because martina's illness solely, not realizing behind the camera it's possible they couldn't stand each other; which would explain their video quantity decreasing so much.

I don't blame martina for being bitter if she got the feeling simon wanted to leave her to do his own thing if she wanted to stretch out her last few good years a bit longer in tokyo. But i don't know if we'll ever get a detailed answer lol

My tinfoil is that they were kinda over it in japan before leaving for canada, I don't really have anything to back it up other than caretaker's burnout or just not feeling it anymore.

martina is self admittedely very hard to be around during her worst time because of depression/physical illness, and my bet is that during normal times simon could at least go out and meet friends (maybe girlfriends? total speculation but it wouldnt surprise me if they were open to a point, especially cus a tall white foregneir is a pussy magnet in asia) and he could bear with it, but once covid hit and they had to spend 24hr together that was much harder.

I can't shake of the feeling of Simon possibly cheated, it's not THAT unusual for partners of patients with chronic illness to cheat because of the personality change that comes with the frustration and pain.

I think more than we thought. Hell maybe even more than Martina thought. They had a podcast episode about how they aren’t soulmates. Simon literally shames ppl who leave their partner when they change and says “ppl lawyer up, hit the gym and find a new person” and reassured Martina that he wouldn’t leave her. Now we are here. They lawyered up, Simon hit the gym, and I don’t think people who think he may have cheated are that tinhat-y. They’re clearly on bad terms and I agree that this wasn’t an amicable split. Other people have voiced this and I want to as well, I don’t know how Simon went from “my wife is my reason for existence” to “I’m hitting the gym and meditating here is my new dog and apartment.” I mean part of Simon’s tattoo sleeve is Martina-inspired. Couples go through rough patches, and I’m sure caretaker burnout occurred, but this happening after years and YEARS of Simon constantly stating how he’ll be with Martina for FOREVER AND EVER… they’re separated. It doesn’t make sense as a viewer.

I think his personality, the one we in their earlier videos was probably really how he was but I think he slowly changed over the years, as people do, but I think his changes stemmed from caregiver burnout amung other things. You can definitely see the small changes in if you look at their earliest videos in Korea and in the their last year in Japan.

>>1162522
I disagree. They're still allowed privacy even though they've shared a good amount of their life and marriage online. They don't need to tell us exactly what happened, if Simon had an affair or whatever the ultimate cause was for their marriage falling apart.

ultimately, the problem is making your private life your brand. At the start of this they were (understandably) pissed off at people prying and asking for explanations, saying they werent a reality tv show with planned out storylines. And that's true. But like anon said, people were investing brain space and more importantly money in their "show", which WAS based on their private life and the fantasy of a very committed monogamous couple living their best life in the capitals of hyperfans fixation, Seoul and Tokyo.
I think if anything, this goes to show that being an entertainer that bases their brand on their private life is a very, very risky thing to do, because you're inevitably going to need to keep things private and what you're selling is the parasocial fantasy we can be friends!

Kind of fucked up opinion, but I tinfoil Martina over exaggerated her illness and Simon finally realized and left.

For years she mentioned she had difficulty walking, so bad that she couldn’t go down stairs and get out of bed. Iirc there was a vlog where Simon would bring her breakfast in bed everyday bc of it.

aw dude, no, i don't believe that at all. Theirs is a heavily edited show, she's just showing when she's good enough to stand and not being ko'ed by her chronic illness. If you hear other accounts of people with the same thing (can't remember the name, it's a progressive deterioration of the ligaments of the bones i think? idk i'm both ignorant and not native english lol) they all give consistent accounts that it's a massive bitch of an illness to go through. She definitely had a pink cane that she decorated, and i do recall a wheelchair for the very worst days?

Most people with the illness have good days and bad days. If you overdo it one day you're probably going to hurt more than the average person the next day because you overexerted yourself.

Munchausen’s Syndrome, aka faking sick for attention. we used to have threads on the munchies but they got banned and now most of the good content is on KF (there are some subreddits but they’re full of other munchies bragging about how they’re sooo much better than the cows and REALLY sick and special)

you probably got it confused with eating disorders because a lot of former anachans switch to being munchies so they have an excuse to keep starving and purging, or an excuse that they got fat, or just to keep getting attention and not having to do anything for themselves. like “oh no, I’m not restricting, it’s my gastroparesis that I totally didn’t give myself by fucking with my digestive system for years! I’m not a lazy womanchild who makes mommy/my boyfriend do everything, I’m chronically ill (please ignore that my ‘good days’ magically line up with things I want to do!)”

Honestly, it never crossed my mind that she'd lie or exaggerate about the illness but more or less lie about how she handles it. People in pain can tend to lash out at the people around them. I've sometimes wondered if she screamed at Simon a lot or possibly even hit him if he wasn't moving fast enough to help her or doing things to her preference. The number of influencers that are over the top positive online but proven to be cunts in RL … I'd leave too if someone was expecting the world from me but treating me like a slave. We just don't know the full details to really say.

Pretty sure it's been public she has EDS for a long time now though, before it became a trend at least.

>>1162907
It's def possible but I guess it's harder to believe when Simon so clearly did a 180 and went full on stereotypical white guy mid-life crisis (the only thing missing is a younger gf but I wouldn't be too surprised at this point)

oooh gotcha, i had no idea. thanks!

Martina has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), if that's any help.

>>1162907

i wouldnt go as far as to wonder if she's physically abusive, but mentally, yeah, i could see that, especially because in japan/korea is hard to get help for mental issues and i guess that even going to a therapist in a second language you're not perfectly fluent into can't be easy

She claims to have hypermobile EDS (type 3). I remember that she posted or said somewhere in a video that she went to a doctor or something who say hEDS tends to be over diagnosed/the catch all diagnosis and it's usually a different variant, but it turns out she just has hEDS afterall.

I don't think she's faking it, she's shown herself popping some joints back in here and there in some videos, and like >>1162908, she's claimed to have had EDS for basically their entire Youtube career (the earliest I can think of is vid related)

EYK discussion can continue in Youtube General, right? They're not really milky outside of the current divorce saga.

Oh damn. I didn't even notice this in the comments.. sounds like Simon divorced her rather than something mutual. A lot of people are asking about him just in the latest video comments.

I wonder if she'll change the channel name to just Martina at some point.

Sorry for the shitty collage but I don't have IG and only saw it this way on desktop.

Simon's officially moved to London, Ontario with new pets (three dogs total) and let Martina behind, more than likely with Meemers.

Holy fuck. I think most of their more casual viewers don’t follow them enough (like on Instagram where they have exclusively posted all the divorce stuff) to know what happened.

So a majority of these commenters have no idea about the divorce after a DECADE of couples content and will ask about the other half of the duo. I get it is supremely painful but what does Martina expect when there is no video explaining the situation on their main channel? Most people won’t be bothered to follow anything more than the main channel they have created.

It sucks that commenters ask but they likely have no clue. Striking out at them does nothing.

I'm a casual youtuber viewer and i found out about the whole debacle through perusing the reddit forum (the official one got shut down because people kept asking if they got a divorce when they were still being coy about it, and now there are two). The amount of parasocial hell going on there is nuts, people treat simon like devil incarnate because he dared to say that social media were toxic for him during a divorce where the most vocal supporters were being openly shit to him, and martina is airing all the dirty laundry she can while she's milking the simpathy points for profit.
Honestly i wouldn't be surprised if she turns out to be a cult leader, with her cult of personality lol

Yea it’s a bit strange.

You’d think if Simon was really as nasty as the eyk subreddit makes him out to be he would be equally passive aggressive about Martina.

Also why the fuck can’t Martina complain/talk to a therapist about Simon instead of their community? Really none of their fans shouldn’t know about anything beyond “we are getting divorced”. Her little tidbits she leaves feel so calculated and weird. Such a spectacular blowup after a decade of a perfect marriage makes me think there was some serious fuckery on both sides.

Reddit just makes ANY community a hellscape lol

Anyone else see this post on fb from Simon?



Something weird about Simon highlighting that Fudgy hasn’t had any illnesses etc.

Considering the history with Martina it kind of comes off as snarky?

Lol hello reddit.
Have you ever had a dog? It's completely normal to become obsessed with their health and comment on how well behaved they are/aren't. You need to do some serious mental gymnastics in order to believe that "i really like that my dog is energetic and sits on command" really means "PH-ew am i happy i'm out of my chronically ill ex-wife clutches!!". Seriously the length you guys go to demonize this guys are outstanding, please seek therapy and stop projecting your hatred for all the people that rightfully dumped your ass on a man you don't even know

now Martina is posting resources for dealing with/recovering from life with a narcissist.
Sage to assume that’s aimed at Simon?
