I was in korea the year a gas main exploded, a bridge collapsed, and a department store collapsed. People would call each other and ask, "Are you still alive?" as a greeting.
Ok first I have heard that in Japan they also have this giant or..umm huge hornets that kill about 100 ppl every year I think,I don't remember and lol that show you guys were talking about reminds me of the America version 1000 ways to die they have like really weird and some funny ways to die ( not that I'm saying death is a funny thing but the way some ppl die are just hilariously dumb ) anyways its on this cable channel called spiketv ^^
Ok, so I went backpacking in Korea with my friend to celebrate graduating high school. Not sure where we were but if I find the map there like a huge red X over the place where this happened. Anyway we checked into this tiny bed and breakfast and decided to dump our gear and go for a walk. But before we left we decided lets leave the window open since it was a bit stuffy. So we get back from the walk, closed the window because it was getting cold, and went downstairs to put boiling water in our ramen. We got back up to the room and were just sitting down enjoying our ramen and all of a sudden I look at my friend and this huge hornet was chilling on her shoulder staring me down. So i freeze and she was looking at me like "Whats up?" and then she looks down and sees satan hornet chillen. So we both jump up screaming and waving our arms like twats, the little old lady who ran the place comes running up probably thinking we were being murdered, shes asking us whats wrong. We didn't know how to say hornet in korean, we didnt think it a important word to learn we didn't even learn the word bug, so we just kept screaming in english "bug, wasp, bug, wasp! luckily for us she got the idea of what we were saying and promptly killed the thing with her slipper making both of us feel like sissy babies. then she was nice and brought us some tea and assured us we were going to be ok, but we did not sleep that night and from that night until we got to Seoul we slept with one eye open.
i so know this is old, just gotta say,those same japanese hornets are an invasive species in the mid atlantic of the US. Have been since like 1994 or something like that. Ive killed them since i was young,i always thought it was bs that they were "japanese" till i got older and learned the facts X_X they is huge,hope you guys stay away from them,just run. Mid land japan has alot of the same weather of Virginia. Those hornets are evil. sorry for the rant.....
At the end when you were talking about that show in Korea reminded me of a show here in America called 100 or 1000 Ways to Die. It's pretty messed up >.
Things in Australia that can kill you- Snakes, Spiders, Kangaroos, Cassowary, Emus, Wombats, Dingoes, Eucalyptus Trees... Things around Australia that can kill you (aka in the water)- Bull Sharks, Great White Sharks, Reef Sharks, Box Jelly Fish (and Irukanji), Blue Bottle Jellies, Cone Snails, Lion Fish, Stone Fish, Blue Ringed Octopus, Sea Snakes... Non-living things that can kill you in Australia- Cyclones, Fires, Floods, Fire Tornadoes... Uh, need I go on? And I live here... Yeah... Fun...
Jason Vega Yes... You know those really powerful legs that they use to hop at up to 44mph? You know those super strong tails that they can stand on for extremely short periods of time? You know how kangaroos often stand on their tails so that they can kick each other when competing for mates/food/whatever? Now, imagine a kangaroo kicking you... It's gonna leave you with a nasty bruise at least! Probably break a few bones too... Or cause major internal bleeding! Also, I didn't mention things that can't kill you, but can be painful. Like the venom of the male platypus or the gympie gympie tree... Welcome to hell!
My Australian friend told me that you're mostly safe in the cities like Sydney, the thing mostly likely to kill you there is how boring the people are :D
I live in a neighborhood in Seoul where they issued a Boar Alert, I had those giant hornets entering my classroom, and my wife and daughter got stung by a jellyfish on the south coast during our vacations. I can't believe I made it through. So far so good. I'M SCARED! ;~ )
Jianna Yong Umm.. Nope.. Jellyfish stings are not detrimental like that.. at least the ones in the East sea of Korea and the Yellow sea. You feel burning pain and it swells a lot but it's easily treatable if taken care of immediately.. How do I know? I've been stung by Jellyfish in Korea.. TWICE!
Some people have died eating live octopus "Saeng nakji" (by choking). Before you guys mentioned about taxi drivers….I was thinking about the same thing! It's not just taxi drivers, it's a lot of people in general here because the lights take so long to turn, and so many drivers just drive through anywhere they want through the green lights here. They just don't stop for you!
TheFashiongirl23 ok so your only credibility is personal experience. I wouldn't eat it too often without some sort of sauce because it does pose as a choking hazard (search sannakji death). The proper Korean way to eat raw octopus and other live seafood is with sesame oil/gochujang and often while drinking, so not exactly stupid but drunk. It is called ho-e (회)... sushi and sashimi is japanese and it may be different, I'm not sure.
TheFashiongirl23 haha the stupid ones are those who don't properly dip raw octopus tentacles before eating it. also it tastes so bland without sesame oil or gochujang... do what you want, I won't tell you how to eat your food, but you've been warned.
TheFashiongirl23 haha chill! I'm serious. I don't know why you're getting mad when I'm expressing concern for your health. It's a warning because it can happen and it's better safe than sorry... plus raw octopus really doesn't taste like anything without sesame oil or gochujang so you should try it! What? I'm stupid if I believe I can die from eating pufferfish? People have been poisoned and died from eating pufferfish; it's very dangerous and chefs have to be licensed to serve it.
Holy shit when i was in China I went back to my village to go to grave so we were gonna set off fireworks so i go to the side and cover my ears so my ears dont die on me and suddenly, there is a huge asian hornet/wasp? surrounding me. I panic but i dont move or do anything so it doesnt sting me. So the thing surrounds me and im internally screaming. It's so big and its wings move so fast that i feel little gusts of wind coming from it. Eventually it leaves but straight after i wanted to have a heart attack.
I was at the beach during summer vacation a few years back, and I got stung by a jellyfish. It felt like someone was dragging a plastic knife across the back of my ankle. It hurt for a couple days, but thankfully it wasn't too bad. I still have the scar, though, and whenever I get the chance, I proudly tell people that I have been stung by a jellyfish :D
I thought you were going to sing the song from My Girlfriend is A Gumiho....but then it was You're Beautiful hahaha Moral of the story: a great drama must have a wild hog.
Clearly you neglected about death by swoon after a random encounter with Taeyeon of SNSD [or insert preferred pop idol] or perhaps death by cute overload if you see Spudgy getting a walk?
Eat Your Kimchi Is it possible to get some of these videos with Korean subtitles? It would be great to show some of these videos in my classes but I think the students would need subs.
We have a show like that here in America that you guys were talking about.....its called 1000 Ways To Die....and it basically shows how people have died in the strangest ways possible and they show the scenario of how and what went wrong.
OMG I LOVE THAT SHOW LOL Sorry I just got really excited since its been so long since I've watched that show. Yeah they do show sometimes the most weirdest ways to die. I think there was one time this guy died from laughing the whole day....I think that would be a good way to die LOL like I mean you'll die happy at least XD
Dude, that show is weird man. I mean, this one time they showed a lady on an airplane right? And then her fake boobs just get bigger and bigger until it EXPLODED and there were blood and tits flesh everywhere.....God...I mean there are just some things you can never unsee..... D;
When I lived in the Yukon, we had to take mandatory bear safety classes in grades 1 and 2. Because there was a grumpy old female grizzly that came to town EVERY YEAR. Still went camping outside, in the summer though.
Hey Simon and Martina, you guys should cover the topic of Suicide in South Korea(unless of course you already have XP) with things like social pressure from both teachers and parents, and bullying rampant in first world countries I feel like it would be a nice topic. I also know Korea has a rather high suicide rate like Japan but I'd love to know how things are different between the two.
What is it like to have children or babies in Korea? Any implications or benefits? Will you raise you children in Korea? Is there a special ceremony when a baby is born ? Not that I want to have kids or raise them I'm still young lol just curious :D please and thank you
Hey I just got done watching like 15 videos about Asian hornets, just came back to say thanks to EYK for making me scared to ever go outside again, oh my god one is going to fly across the ocean
That person made the US seem a lot worse than it is, lol. All of those things are in the US, but like Canada, the US is vast and huge. So a lot of those things are regional. Like tornados are mostly in the Midwest/South and hurricanes are mostly a Southeastern problem, and rattlesnakes mostly live in the desert, and brown recluse spiders are mostly a Northern problem. And even then, it's like living anywhere. Like, just because there are lions in Africa doesn't mean people who live in Africa constantly get attacked by lions. So, the average person living in a US city will never even meet a rattler or a brown recluse spider, let alone be killed by one. And hurricanes and tornadoes happen every year, but the incredibly devastating ones are much more rare. I live in the South, and I can remember going to school during hurricanes, because they're essentially really big thunder storms. When it got bad, we got sent home, of course, but yeah... they're not always these huge forces of destruction that level entire towns. That's actually why Katrina, for instance, was so devastating. People in hurricane-prone areas don't take them seriously every time, especially smaller ones, like category 2s. So, a lot of people didn't evacuate when they were warned, because they didn't believe it would be bad. So... we don't exactly live in a death pit, lol. We live in a big land mass that has places with their own deadly things. (That's not even mentioning the West Coast's mudslides and earthquakes, Hawaii's tsunamis, and what not.) It's relatively safe, though. Most of us can go our entire lives without facing deadly enviromental things.
Hence the same as what was stated in the video - most of the things they mentioned are mainly located in the countryside, while some are in the cities. It's just common sense to know beforehand that these things that could potentially kill you have their preferred areas, LOL.
Savana S Yep, that's what I was saying. It sounds a lot worse when you say it all together, lol. Like the US is a big death trap. (I know that S&M were joking, btw.)
My aunt got in a major accident 2 years ago...she underwent heavy surgery and nearly died then...she was in the hospital for an entire year and is still having treatment...ever since then, I never ride taxis anymore. Those taxi drivers are insane!!
I really had no interest in Korean life but after discovering you on a Japanese travel Channel I now LOVE watching you two talk about ANYTHING!!! You two are a wonderful couple!!! Thanks !
Similar show in America called 1,000 Ways to Die! (based on actual cases-one had a couple of goof balls playing with cocoa powder in a storage space and suffocated because of the powder)
I immediately thought of You're Beautiful once you said boars, haha. And the giant hornets once became an hour long discussion at our dinner table on how many horrifying things they can do. XD People in the countryside, I salute you.
When I was in Korea, my friend got stung by an Asian hornet in the country side. We went home to Seoul and she started to feel really bad. She was puking and dizzy, so she woke me up (at like 2 am) and I brought her to the hospital. She had to get shots and take meds for like a week. She got stung on her ankle and was in pain walking for a week. My biggest fear is hornets and wasps, so I didn't get stung because I checked my body every 5 minutes, and I run when I hear any sort of buzzing x) I also saw a ton of them when I visited Dorasan Station and the Observation thingy near North Korea.
You Are Beautiful was SUCH a good drama. Except for the fact that the main character treated the guy who was worshipping the ground she walked on like shit, so she could be with a guy that treated her like shit. That always kills me.
In my state there's this family of universities and highschool that have so many animals in the campus that some visit so often they become their mascots depending on the campus. They go from peacocks, ducks to bucks and bears, the thing is they don't give a single shit about people, they literally walk around and just frequent the cafeterias.
OMG when you started singing Promise I got so excited!! I watched You Are Beautiful and am currently watching Fabulous Boys which is the Taiwanese version and I freaking LOVE THEM :''''''D don't mind me I'm just rewatching all TL;DR videos
What's weird with me is whenever I want to go somewhere and I hear a con about that place I don't want to go but after hearing multiple cons about Korea I still want to go😃😄
Hey Simon and Martina! You sooo nasssttyyyy, but also what is law enforcement like in Korea? Are there any laws that are legal in Canada, but not in Korea people should watch out for? Keep being awesome!
Yay shout out to Australia!! So many things to kill me here lol nah it's not that bad... mostly haha. And I LOVED You're beautiful!! The first Korean drama I ever watched. Also just randomly, Martina I'm loving the more subtle eye look in this video :) I mean I'm totally jealous of your rockin winged eye liner skills but I also really like this look on you too :)
"You wanna buy some death sticks?" "You don't want to sell me death sticks." "Uh, I don't wanna sell you death sticks." "You want to go home and rethink your life." "I wanna go home and rethink my life."
I'm deadly allergic to bees & wasps & hornets and i've almost died 2 times (lucky i was SUPER close to a hospital both times so I made it barelyyyyy in time *shivers*) but they were a TINY BEE and a TINY WASP. I shudder to think about how fast I would die if I was stung by one of those giant hornets ;A;
Those wasp are terrible ! Seriously, When I was in Korea this summer, there were two nests I think on the land where I stayed, and it was a children's center. I am really scared of those in Canada, and they are small. But those are HUGE and the sound that comes from it flying is terrifying. Just hearing it you want to run into a corner and cry. Two of our students got bitten and the effect of it is incredible, too..
Actually in australia we have the box jellyfish which is one of, if not the most dangerous jellyfish in the world (dont quote me), im actually afraid of water too, but iv had loads of encounters with snakes and never been bit, *shrugs* i hope its the same with the asian hornet cause that does scare me lol

For someone reason when I clicked this I felt like it was going to be a video on how to plan a Korean funeral.
I was in korea the year a gas main exploded, a bridge collapsed, and a department store collapsed. People would call each other and ask, "Are you still alive?" as a greeting.
im dying xdddd
We have rain in the UK. Sometimes it's so bad that we have to take an umbrella out with us.
Sounds scary
janet klops We live in terror
l337z0r Hey hey, we had that 'tornado' in Birmingham a few years ago... knocked some roof tiles off
+l337z0r We get flash floods all the time in the American South, and also hurricanes coming in from the coast...
+l337z0r YES BUT THEN THE UMBRELLAS MAKE NO DIFFERENCE BECUASE THEY ALWAYS BLOODY BREAK. Especially if it's rain AND wind.
Captions now available in English, if you need them :D
thanks for the subtitles. :)
Thankss :D

can't focus...pink elephants,@O@
John Smith You should have seen my purple penguin pants. 0__0
That person forgot to mention earthquakes, mountain lions, wolves, bears, scorpions and police amongst the things that can kill you in the US.
Things in Australia that can kill you- Snakes, Spiders, Kangaroos, Cassowary, Emus, Wombats, Dingoes, Eucalyptus Trees...
Things around Australia that can kill you (aka in the water)- Bull Sharks, Great White Sharks, Reef Sharks, Box Jelly Fish (and Irukanji), Blue Bottle Jellies, Cone Snails, Lion Fish, Stone Fish, Blue Ringed Octopus, Sea Snakes...
Non-living things that can kill you in Australia- Cyclones, Fires, Floods, Fire Tornadoes... Uh, need I go on?
And I live here... Yeah... Fun...
a kangaroo can kill you?

wow I had no idea. thanks for sharing.
My Australian friend told me that you're mostly safe in the cities like Sydney, the thing mostly likely to kill you there is how boring the people are :D
***** I bet you're not haha, I've heard the same about English people and I haven't died yet while living in England :P
I live in a neighborhood in Seoul where they issued a Boar Alert, I had those giant hornets entering my classroom, and my wife and daughter got stung by a jellyfish on the south coast during our vacations. I can't believe I made it through. So far so good.
I'M SCARED!
;~ )

oh i heard of the choking on octopus tentacles, that's why it's important to use sesame oil or gochujang especially if it's a big piece
TheFashiongirl23 please educate me

What? I'm stupid if I believe I can die from eating pufferfish? People have been poisoned and died from eating pufferfish; it's very dangerous and chefs have to be licensed to serve it.
I heard people attributed characteristics to bloodtypes in Korea. Maybe you could do a tl;dr on this? ~Michael from the Netherlands
yeeeeey, a dutchie! xD
hey :) they already made a video about this. It's really interesteing, just searhc it in their channel.
Migs Sambrano Are you sure? I can't find it...
Holy shit when i was in China I went back to my village to go to grave so we were gonna set off fireworks so i go to the side and cover my ears so my ears dont die on me and suddenly, there is a huge asian hornet/wasp? surrounding me.

Why would you WANT to have a heart attack...

It hurt for a couple days, but thankfully it wasn't too bad. I still have the scar, though, and whenever I get the chance, I proudly tell people that I have been stung by a jellyfish :D
Wow! I bet that scar looks really cool.
I thought you were going to sing the song from My Girlfriend is A Gumiho....but then it was You're Beautiful hahaha Moral of the story: a great drama must have a wild hog.
I also thought of that drama when they talked about wild hogs!
When you started talking about the city, I was just waiting for you to say 'Death by Saesang fans!'
They have a show like that in America. It's called A 1000 ways to die
lol that show is so stupid
Clearly you neglected about death by swoon after a random encounter with Taeyeon of SNSD [or insert preferred pop idol] or perhaps death by cute overload if you see Spudgy getting a walk?
I'm pretty disappointed that you didn't mention the most deadly creature in Korea: the fan.
That TV show sounds like a thousand ways to die. It creeps me out.
Spanish subtitles now up!
In the thumbnail I thought a frozen chicken was on Simon's shoulder... then I realised it's Martina's arm...
Eat Your Kimchi
Is it possible to get some of these videos with Korean subtitles?
It would be great to show some of these videos in my classes but I think the students would need subs.
Eat Your Kimchi swag
Eat Your Kimchi swag
Simon I'm am about 160+ cm so are you really that tall?

I think there was one time this guy died from laughing the whole day....I think that would be a good way to die LOL like I mean you'll die happy at least XD
OMG THAT IS IN AUSTRALIA TOO
That's the first thing I thought of when they said that!
Dude, that show is weird man. I mean, this one time they showed a lady on an airplane right? And then her fake boobs just get bigger and bigger until it EXPLODED and there were blood and tits flesh everywhere.....God...I mean there are just some things you can never unsee..... D;

Hey Simon and Martina, you guys should cover the topic of Suicide in South Korea(unless of course you already have XP) with things like social pressure from both teachers and parents, and bullying rampant in first world countries I feel like it would be a nice topic.
I also know Korea has a rather high suicide rate like Japan but I'd love to know how things are different between the two.
You guys should do a video on things you must do in Seoul! I'm going there for a holiday this year and it would be extremely helpful :)
As an Australian, all I can say is that shark attacks are soooooo rare. It's not nearly as risky as it seems.
You haven't lived unless you've watched "You're Beautiful"! It's soo Good & soo Bad at the same time 0.0
You're Beautiful was what introduced me to Korea!
Oh my godddd.
I have a pig-bunny stuffed animal c:
***** OMG me too, i actually have 2 of them :3
Dwaeji-Tokki!!
Not understanding the "so bad" part, You're Beautiful is flawless ;)
I have two pig rabbits too!
We should start a "People who have found korea because of dramas" club xD
I was expecting the "one thing you should be afraid of" to be fans (the electric kind XD). But sasaengs work too.
That show sounds like "1000 ways to die" which comes on TV in the USA, lol
There's a show called "Stupid Ways to Die" that airs on Brazil
i was just about to type that!
You read my mind LOL
I heard last week unnamed giant jelly fish also found on a beach in Tasmania, Australia. Maybe Korean squishy squishy has a cousin in Aussie XD
you guys are awesome love your vids
Thank you!
What is it like to have children or babies in Korea? Any implications or benefits? Will you raise you children in Korea? Is there a special ceremony when a baby is born ? Not that I want to have kids or raise them I'm still young lol just curious :D please and thank you
You just got a new subscriber, I was really entertained
+TurboPVG thanks! Welcome to our channel :)
There's no going back now. You're stuck here
Final Fantasy is the best thing to ever happen on earth, i'm with you all the way Simon lol
I like your avatar :)
Simon and Martina
Thankyou, it's the best, my icon on steam is vincent from dirge of cerberus lol
I don't know why but Martina looks extremely gourgeus in this! Wow :}
So what you're saying is...there's like real life tracker jackers flying around the Korean countryside..YIKES
That You're Beautiful reference!! Martina that was literally my favorite scene xDD
lol when you mentioned that show i thought of "A Thousand Ways to Die"
1000 ways to die [korean adition] xD
"You're beautiful" is the first k-drama I ever saw and I love it, really
Poor Grandpa Goomba...
omg Simon and Final Fantasy? BEST THING EVER
While they were talking about the wasp/hornet.A mosquito came near my ear, and I jumped from my seat.
So what you're saying is, the song should have went "Mr.Taxi Taxi Taxi, please don't hit me hit me hit me"?
Martina flipping out at that "FF is better than LOTR" nonsense is what made me subscribe.
I really, really want to hear Simon talk about Video Games more! That would be a good one for Open The Happy!
Hey I just got done watching like 15 videos about Asian hornets, just came back to say thanks to EYK for making me scared to ever go outside again, oh my god one is going to fly across the ocean
do not even think that way lol
Have you seen this? edition.cnn.com/2013/10/03/world/asia/hornet-attack-china/
...Well NOW I have. Nature confirmed far too scary for me.
closetwarrior amen lol
XD Sorry! I had to :P We'll just have to agree to never ever go to China

Pink elephants!!!! I like your sweater Martina, it's so cute~!
My aunt got in a major accident 2 years ago...she underwent heavy surgery and nearly died then...she was in the hospital for an entire year and is still having treatment...ever since then, I never ride taxis anymore. Those taxi drivers are insane!!
that was a werid question but very informative video XD
well this is a weird title
I really had no interest in Korean life but after discovering you on a Japanese travel Channel I now LOVE watching you two talk about ANYTHING!!! You two are a wonderful couple!!! Thanks !
Lovely! Thank you so much!
lol right when Martina corrected Simon I thought of Hermione and Ron and Simon finished my thought for me!!!! Love you guys so much!
lol we have like the top 10 deadliest animals in australia .w.
yeah u dont wanna go bush without a first aid kit lol XD
Similar show in America called 1,000 Ways to Die! (based on actual cases-one had a couple of goof balls playing with cocoa powder in a storage space and suffocated because of the powder)
i literally almost peed my pants when simon said "farticles" . i love you guys !
Im so glad that that these guys are back!!! No one makes vids like theseguys
It's official I'm happy to live in my country. Nothing to be scared of here
I immediately thought of You're Beautiful once you said boars, haha. And the giant hornets once became an hour long discussion at our dinner table on how many horrifying things they can do. XD People in the countryside, I salute you.
A-N-JELL!!! You Are Beautiful!!!!! I love that show and when Tae Kyung is always saying..."Go Mi Nam..." :3
Australia's actually pretty safe, we have low gun violence, and health care
When I was in Korea, my friend got stung by an Asian hornet in the country side. We went home to Seoul and she started to feel really bad. She was puking and dizzy, so she woke me up (at like 2 am) and I brought her to the hospital. She had to get shots and take meds for like a week. She got stung on her ankle and was in pain walking for a week. My biggest fear is hornets and wasps, so I didn't get stung because I checked my body every 5 minutes, and I run when I hear any sort of buzzing x) I also saw a ton of them when I visited Dorasan Station and the Observation thingy near North Korea.
You Are Beautiful was SUCH a good drama.
Except for the fact that the main character treated the guy who was worshipping the ground she walked on like shit, so she could be with a guy that treated her like shit. That always kills me.
LOL Martina mocking Simon on FF is so spot on!!! I almost unsubbed from Simon saying FF was better than LOTR.
ps. that is mt FAVOURITE drama, love you guys and your honesty
I saw a wild boar in a Japanese city (not a big one) at night. On the university campus.
In my state there's this family of universities and highschool that have so many animals in the campus that some visit so often they become their mascots depending on the campus. They go from peacocks, ducks to bucks and bears, the thing is they don't give a single shit about people, they literally walk around and just frequent the cafeterias.
Sketchbook omg thats my university! Its on top of a hill so at night if you go out you can go to the gardens and chill with the deer haha
Final Fantasy is better than LOTR I AGREE SO MUCH
OMG when you started singing Promise I got so excited!! I watched You Are Beautiful and am currently watching Fabulous Boys which is the Taiwanese version and I freaking LOVE THEM :''''''D don't mind me I'm just rewatching all TL;DR videos
What's weird with me is whenever I want to go somewhere and I hear a con about that place I don't want to go but after hearing multiple cons about Korea I still want to go😃😄
"A cockroach the size of a man?" I would shit my pants...
I think the hornet was in a 1000 ways to die
love the Australia mention ^^, oh and nice accent Martina
Oh my gosh she was talking about the Korean drama 'You Are Beautiful," I loved watching that on Netflix :D.
"The ocean is a scary pit of death." :D
Hey Simon and Martina! You sooo nasssttyyyy, but also what is law enforcement like in Korea? Are there any laws that are legal in Canada, but not in Korea people should watch out for? Keep being awesome!
I'm so happy you guys talked about You Are Beautiful! It's one of my favorite dramas! You guys are like the best. n.n
i'm from australia and can i just add that martina, your accent was spot on. ;D
Hey simon and Martina , can you talk about SAESANG..
That show sounds like "1000 Ways To Die."
You're beautiful is a very special drama to me because it was the very first one I ever watched. Loved it
Same!
Yay shout out to Australia!! So many things to kill me here lol nah it's not that bad... mostly haha. And I LOVED You're beautiful!! The first Korean drama I ever watched. Also just randomly, Martina I'm loving the more subtle eye look in this video :) I mean I'm totally jealous of your rockin winged eye liner skills but I also really like this look on you too :)
"You wanna buy some death sticks?"
"You don't want to sell me death sticks."
"Uh, I don't wanna sell you death sticks."
"You want to go home and rethink your life."
"I wanna go home and rethink my life."
Wise words Obi Wan Kenobi.
the tv show you guys described sounds like the korean version of 1000 ways to die
i loooooove when you guys nerd out and I still know what you're talking about. :) sooo happyyy
I just spent the last 5 hours, watching your videos. I cannot for the life of me, stop.
I'm deadly allergic to bees & wasps & hornets and i've almost died 2 times (lucky i was SUPER close to a hospital both times so I made it barelyyyyy in time *shivers*) but they were a TINY BEE and a TINY WASP. I shudder to think about how fast I would die if I was stung by one of those giant hornets ;A;
oh my God I just realized that they mentioned the only Korean drama that I know
I would love if you could speak on the crazy Frozen craze. Have you seen the move? Do you like it? Do you want to do a "Let it Go" cover too?
Those wasp are terrible ! Seriously, When I was in Korea this summer, there were two nests I think on the land where I stayed, and it was a children's center. I am really scared of those in Canada, and they are small. But those are HUGE and the sound that comes from it flying is terrifying. Just hearing it you want to run into a corner and cry. Two of our students got bitten and the effect of it is incredible, too..
I'm curious about the blood types. My friends that live in south Korea they are always asking my blood type? Why is this?
yeah! that's a good question, I always wondered that.
Actually in australia we have the box jellyfish which is one of, if not the most dangerous jellyfish in the world (dont quote me), im actually afraid of water too, but iv had loads of encounters with snakes and never been bit, *shrugs* i hope its the same with the asian hornet cause that does scare me lol
Omg, when you started singing the song I immediately knew which kdrama you were talking about but I had forgotten the wild boar scenexD
It's 6:02am. Been watching all night. In a completely healthy obsession sorta way, of course. :D
YES SIMON! Final Fantasy is awesome
#1 Thing that will kill you in South Korea : Park Jimin.
Theres like 10 million Park Jimins in Korea
+RockZombieIAm Good point
Not Just in Korea

That is my favorite scene in You are Beautiful! I LOLED so much. The old man saying "hi" was hilarious.
