Arirang TV: Blogging in Korea

[batsugame123]

oh my god when he moves his head to the side at around 2:23-ish and you look straight behind him is that martina or another person??

[pyeoldust]

I didn't see the ghost...even after thoroughly looking for it...

[tessunrise]

Where did Martina go??? Was she at work when this was being filmed?

[Akane666]

Saimon your last name sounds a bit polish. Do you had familly ther or something?

[mewlexii]

2:23 Is that a ghost? Are you living in a haunted house?

[LoverMusify]

i love you guys!!! i love your videos! I HOPE TO SOON BE ABLE TO VISIT KOREA! ^_^

[ghksdl2002]

very nice vidio.. i'm interesting in this vidio.. haha and i'm korean, lived in Busan

did you go on a travel Busan?

[MelGemmaRichardson]

martina behind you?

[KvilleGhost]

I'm actually really inspired by you guys. You work hard and you have so much fun doing it. I really want to be like you guys when/if I go to Korea. I'm actually starting at the bottom of your uploads list and working my up right now.

[manhidnatao]

OMFG @ 2:23 Thats just creepy O.O

[PoKemOnUs5gUrU]

SPUDGY!!! 

[MUSICimmortalmelody]

this is amazing u guys are so inspiring really!!!!!

[chocochitu]

Its okay people there is a cross on the wall in 2:36 so the ghost at 2:24 can't get in any more than the hall way 8D

[lovelylionet]

think i'm addicted to your videos<3 i think i watched every single episodes keep up your wonderful works:)

[ChangMinat0r]

Is that Martina? she looks like a priest! O_o

I love watching your videos, it makes me feel cosy.

Thank for doing it! *_* I love Corea but you make me love it more.

[mayblaze]

who's the guy at 2;24?

its a ghost?

looks like one!

[KelseaRoxOutLoud]

ive watched your videos all day.!

(minus 2 hours spent eating chinese.) ;1D

[mccallrenee]

The Grudge 2:24 XD

That was kind of freaky.

[waddleNguin]

not to be *too* rude or anything but...

@ 1:28 when you ask "why isn't there a video about this" is because there's nothing really special about it. it's, no offense meant, only special to people who don't live it as a daily life and think it's different and unique. i mean if you really did live this as a daily life... it's just... daily life, same thing over and over, nothing actually special.

[tokee1234567]

@waddleNguin there is something special about one's culture. in the western world, street food isn't something you see everyday. it's something unique to other countries like Korea. it provides a whole different meaning to Korean nightlife, and people's spare time. if you really think about it, it's because of people like you that countries like Korea isn't getting the right promotion it needs. people just think too generic of their own culture, when it should be thought of as more special

[waddleNguin]

@tokee1234567 just cause it's special to an outsider doesn't mean it's omfg amazing special to pple who see it as a normal everday thing. for example there's a certain part of my town that i visit every week that's *sort of* like an asian market but i don't think of it as a super culturally amazing cause its just... a normal part of life

[tokee1234567]

@waddleNguin nowadays a lot of traditions in Asia are neglected and disappearing b/c ppl don't think of it as special, or something even worthy to be recognized. I'm a Korean myself. sees the same thing everyday, but realized how important they were when I lived outside of Korea. I see so many Koreans who say "why are ppl coming here there's nothing to see" it's not super culturally amazing, but unique enough to be recognized.

[waddleNguin]

@tokee1234567 i actually have to agree with the "why are people coming here there's nothing to see"

[nightDREAMERms]

@waddleNguin That's how pretty much everyone feels about their hometown. I was born and raised in a Tourist city; all of our major income comes from Tourism. To me as a resident, it doesn't seem like there's much to see but I understand it's something different to people who HAVEN'T lived here as I have.

[waddleNguin]

@tokee1234567 but like i've said, its only special and unique to those who think it's special and unique

[ChurtleSnap]

@waddleNguin Well... it's kind of like how people from Asia comes to the U.S. and freak out over the size of a pizza. To them it's a big deal, to the people in the U.S. it's normal. So yeah, it's like that in every culture.

[waddleNguin]

@ChurtleSnap yea exactly! only outsiders make a big deal of it :3 things agreed

[sourzzon]

u guyz are gona stuck in korea forever...telling u...

[WhItEAngEEl]

That creepy thing/person/whatever-that-is, is really starting to creep me out, omg. It's not even like a ghost cuz it's wearing a PARKA. And i doubt ghosts wear parka's. O_O

But other than that, YAAAAY. I love all your videos! :) They give me a better insight of Korea and it obviously makes me wanna go korea toooo. XD

[yunajaejoong]

Woot~ You guys are awesome!

And i think you know it already! xD

At here I would like to personally thank you guys for showing me a little insight of Korea.

I know that making and editing the videos every week is not an easy task! =)

So far I'm just a student(18) so I would be pretty impossible for me to go to Korea.

Hope you guys would continue making more videos of places and things to see in Korea! =)

Lots of love from Malaysia! =)

[Noonaahful]

LMFAO! its like a documentary

[Ulrock7777]

You guys did a video about That's Very Hot? xDD

[againstthetimes]

@Ulrock7777

It was part of their "How to dance Kpop 2009" I believe. 

[dba7dba]

simonandmartina ,

I LOVE that monopod. I've been meaning to get one like it. May I ask what model you are using?

Congrats on the press you are getting. Who knows if it leads to something else? Even if it doesn't you will have some amazing stories to tell your kids and grandkids!

Btw, I subscribe to few channels and and yours is one of them. Thanks!

[IluvYurii]

how tall are you simon?

[blackdragoneye]

[Sunniyeoh]

I hope you many more videos. Keep up the great work! Aja aja fighting!

[9MuzzyGirl9]

[Sweetpsycho6]

@amuchi309 i don't think so, she or he doesn't looks like martina, it's so fuckin' creepy!

[amynan1]

congrats on your continuing success :-)

[milanalovesKo]

Simon, you are so right! You are possibly opening a new door to life for someone! Can I make a request?? Can you maybe make a video about the different kinds of boyfriends and girlfriends of different regions of South Korea? I heard that apparently Seoul couples are more romantic than, let's say Busan.. I'll leave it up to you to prove it!! ^ ^ Thanks so much for sharing your Korean life with the world!!!!!!!!!

[XDemoluver92XD]

you guys are so inspirational! my dream is to teach in Korea also and seeing you guys live your dream makes it seem more possible to live out my dream! Thank you Simon and Martina! :)

[freakyshooterz]

Can I know what software do you use while editing the video?

I only used Adobe Premiere...

Its kinda bored... Hehe...

Your video was so awesome! ^^

[xxxAngelikaxxx]

Do you guys plan on living in Korea forever or will you return back to Canada one day?

[Tikka40]

[Skymeri]

[HaiHaiNana]

i'm not gonna lie, i almost peed when i saw that person standing behind simon at 2:24.

[MMLoveII]

@HaiHaiNana OMG didn't saw that o.o scary,,,,,

[kimsuke101]

@HaiHaiNana

that's probably an arirang staff but it didn't make any movement so it's creepy.

[Ekalavya]

@HaiHaiNana ok seriously how did you even see that...i replayed it almost 20 times.

[BitternSweetxx]

@HaiHaiNana

OMG, WHO THE * TOOT* IS THAT?!

omg, its a fan who's trying to kidnap simon T.T

* shivers * she's dressed in black D:

[OnCeUpOnATiMeLoNgAgO]

u guys make korea seem better than disneyland lol :D love u guys~!!! :D

[PoptartPrincess485]

I've always wondered why you guys taped your remote to the couch! Haha. But I didn't want to be creepy and ask. @_@

[kpopperful]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,SIMON!!!!!!

[pikaqiu407]

SPUDGY!!!!!

[kstervic]

i absolutely love your videos!

[RiddleRavenness]

lol I never noticed the remote. I don't look for things like that. But I think it's cool at that you added notes!

Yay, that was fun. I like behind the scenes stuff :) It was esp. cool to hear how you got started--just making videos for your family that other people watched too!

[RiddleRavenness]

:O You have to stand like that for every video Simon? Aww. Simon! You have my sympathy and my appreciation!

[tewkewl]

You should accept contributions like wikipedia does so that you guys can stay in business. i'd easily fork over some money to allow you guys to keep bloggin!

[haidakaraishiteru]

I love your videos they brighten my day :)

you guys inspired me to do what i want without thinkking twice about it because just like you guys i want to travel to another country and feel interest in other ways of living.

keep up the great work you guys!!!!!!

[Mcrollercoasterride]

I guess we'll know if that's Martina or not if Simon keeps making videos. Otherwise......... GASP!

[BrentStick]

You're living the dream mate :)

[inuit2amosly]

thank you for making your video's soooo awesome!

[zzwa555]

lol when you said you have to do the splits in the kpop monday vidoes

[agneteifly]

you guys are doing a wonderful job, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your work! it's wonderful to be able to see the daily life in Korea. I really hope i can go there some day and se it myself... But until then, I'll just be watching your videos, and they really cheer me up! Fighting ~ <3

[lavzkytere]

what camera do you use?? nice one

[lavzkytere]

what camera do you use?? nice one!

[tabcullen]

LOL the other people in the library probably think I'm an idiot but I cannot stop laughing about the thing behind you at 2:25 :O I really hope it's Martina. Also, now I'm going to start looking for other hidden messages in your videos :D

[RMEHA5]

@ 2.25 that looks like Martina with her hands by here face. A bit scary looking.. Cool video :D.

[Scurvyforall]

What video is the "so hot" skit of the skit from?

[ryusm92]

Odeng! :D

[Chrisytinaa]

it looks like they are having screen ration problems because i see all of those weird lines when the camera makes a fast movement. That used to happen to me all the time in final cut pro until i changed the ratio to 16:9.

besides that <3 you guys and hope you always keep me informed and entertained with your amazing videos :)

[teefygreen340]

I'm not gonna lie, I look around the room all the time during videos.

I look at your laptop most of all because one time I noticed it was a picture of Jonghyun and Minho (from a recent photoshoot) and recently (in the Cry video) I noticed it was GD&TOP c:

[cute2me4ever]

omg who is the person at 2:25, I think im going to have nightmares . 0_0

is he a ghost?(or am I being delusional)

please answer back :) thanks

[xYakyuBaka]

@cute2me4ever i'm pretty sure it's martina xDDD don't worry about it!

[xTenshiAi]

@cute2me4ever Aaaa omg I see him too. He looks like L from Death Note xD

[PandaTracker]

you guys make me want to visit korea :)

[xVicko]

i can't help it but feel touched, i don't know why hehe

love ya guys

[bgy110107]

did anyone see the box that appeared at the end when he was holding the odeng and attempted to click it thinking it would lead to another video?

[Upioornica]

Oh my... SPLITS. Now I will think about them every Music Monday. Just too amusing xD

And haha, I've noticed the remote-in-distress too and I wondered is it comfortable to have it there. But well, it's probably better there than nowhere to find~ XD

[KikaSaysRawrr]

Can you give us a tour of your apartment? :D

[NeerawiEmi]

Omgg!! Simon!? Who is the person behind you at 2:22? TT-TT

[5lkus5]

You guys did really an AWESOME job..to showing us so many different sides of Korea..^--^ I appreciate it really a lot!!!..:) Thank you so much for that..;) !!

[BlackyberriE]

omg.....is that what you want to surprise us about the "little details" ?

who is the person at 2:24 and why is he/she standing there?! i dont think its martina Dx

[JosefineJoos]

@BlackyberriE where where where? I didn't notice at all.

[BlackyberriE]

[moradintintin]

[justasmileplease]

[ElementalMisshap]

@yuukinom the apple has a small solar panel and it makes the leaves go up and down. Purpose: to be cute. There are other shapes like flower bumblebee ladybug.

[ShinjuHoshi]

[Yuukinom]

[EspadaShi]

Simon and Martina - you are just awesome bloggers. xD I think that I'm going to do a presentation of you in my English class~. :D

[3friiends]

I feel inspired by you :| u r so amazing..really ♥

[jadeCeladon]

This is going to be an odd question. Where did you get your desk lamp? I am looking for that style instead of the elongated style.

[ilovemymovies]

You guys make me want to visit Korea & as well you guys! Eh, where did you buy

the camera tripod ? It's v. interesting looking. Looks like it would be v. easy to use esp. for travelling. Keep those videos coming!

[Nappy133]

Can you guys do a video on Korean phones please? :) they seem so much cooler and advanced than ours!! >.< pretty please!! :D

[feli1097]

@Nappy133 agree. somehow, the shape and functionality just aces wayy ahead of us here too. 

[Nappy133]

@feli1097 yeah i was thinking of importing one but they were expensive! >.< i hope they read the comment and do one on them! =D

[cutemidget09]

You guys, I'm pretty sure that's Martina standing behind him at 2:24...lol she probably dyed her hair or something.

[skytostar]

Is that ghost? i think it looks like a picture on wall. Pls check that out Simon!!!!

[jjjustys]

2:24 AAAAAA!

[HappySungmin]

I just found a ghost behind Simon at 2:25 o.o omg i'm scared!

[GOKEN911]

@HappySungmin i think its 2 ghosts....scary

[skytostar]

I am a Korean living in Canada. I really enjoy your video. I learn a lot from your video. there are someting about Korean culture i never thought interesting but it is from western point of view. Your videos make me re-discover my Korean culture more appriciated than i have, Thank you!!!

[DoctorMadeME]

Now I imagine Simon standing like that all the time.. lol

[HomemadeCafe]

Oh wait, I see what you mean now, nevermind. :P

[HomemadeCafe]

OMG Martina has become a ghost. D: But, Simon, you seem to fit into the camera at your full height..maybe you're not in the middle of the screen but you still fit.

[jjbtyeah]

You guys are so amazing! *virtual fist bump
