lol to go back and watch ur old videos is so weird. I remember watching music mondays that were filmed in this apartment, and when u guys looked so much less stylish (sorry) and before you became all fancy with ur studio and a crew and stuff. You've come a long way, congrats. so much nostalgia from these videos.
This is the first video I've watched from Simon and Marina and kept following them until they moved to Japan. (I stopped as I was disappointed by them bashing South Korea in few videos when they left) Fast forward to 2021, I was thinking about them and how are they doing. If you guys are reading this comments, I hope you'll get back on track soon in your own lives. You've been part of my life for few years, I started to travel to Korea almost every months from 2008, so I was discovering this culture throw my Korean friends and you. This video especially got me to mingle well with my Korean friends with these moves. To the point that I became popular among my Korean colleagues about 1000 Koreans among 11000 flight attendants at this time in my airline. Kkk We are all getting older and have to accept closing chapters to open new ones. It's really hard and resilience is key. I wish both of you all the best and hope that in few years you will be looking back at 2021 as a bad memory but will remember that you have over a decade of insanely awesome memories. Take care! 🤗
Again, I think everyone's missing the point of this video: This was meant for Native English Teachers to have a bridge between them and their students. A lot of the foreigners we know don't know what's "big" in K-Pop culture. By making this video, teachers can better understand what their students are interested in, and have have a means of talking to their students.
if only simon and martina knew back then that they'd get to meet/be in close proximity with/interview some of these groups! it's fun to see some "old" simon and martina. :)
watching all the how to dance kpop style videos made by you guys, I have come to the conclusion that kpop was at its peak from 2008-2009. All the songs were so good back then! Hopefully, 2012 will keep bringing that magic back~
This is Martina: I own everyone of these albums. I really really like K-pop. This video is to INTRODUCE people to this awesome catchy music. Sorry we're bad dancers, but you're totally wrong because I LOVE K-POP.
This is Simon writing (Martina wrote the first response) We're showing foreign teachers in Korea that having an understanding of what is culturally relevant to their students would be beneficial to them as teachers. It opens up topics of conversations with the students who otherwise often view the teachers as completely foreign and unapproachable. If I do a goofy Rainism dance in class then students laugh and - what's more important - talk to me after class about their favorite music.
this was the first video i ever watched from you guys, and i seriously thought you guys were professional dance teachers x) happy 3 year anniversary!!!
Yup, we know it's called "Lies". It says that in the description box, but most of our friends know it as "I'm So Sorry" because that's the main English part.
melodycopyrighted: I totally agree with you about Korean singers coming from a difficult background. In fact, I'm a huge DBSK fan also. Mirotic and Rainism are my ringtones! BUT none of you haters seem to care that we keep telling you: WE DID NOT MAKE THIS VIDEO TO MAKE FUN OF K-POP. Sure, we suck at dancing, but we made this to make other foreigners aware of these bands and the impact they make on their students. So, you and all the other k-pop fans above are just bashing another k-pop fan.
Me and my best friend have been watching these two videos TOO many times during the past month. x'D And still we laugh at the jokes till our stomaches hurt and sing along with the songs and and and...! All in all, you guys are amazing~
hahaha u guys freaking rock! It's one of the funniest video clips i've ever seen recently! Freaking awesome especially on the part where u guys try some of the moves. Nice mix with MV!
rofl!!! this is hilarious. thanks guys. i remember when you gave a presentation during my 4 day long orientation thing. from there i got the "KABOOOOOM" game idea and it's been one of the biggest successes with ALL of my students, EVER. i've recommended it to my friends and it hasn't failed anyone yet. :D
I was just watching this to reminisce on old EYK videos, but then I was like "Oh god... this was back in the Mirotic days... back when DBSK was still together..." and then I literally shed some tears. ANYWAYS, I loved your How to Dance Kpop vids! You guys should do them again!
you guys have come so far with your videos! but i enjoyed it! even in 2011 i am still playing mirotic and big bang's lies like its nobody's business! :D
harial: we really want to do that! Currently we're gathering the top songs out in the last 6 months, such as: Super Junior (sorry sorry), SNSD (GEE), Kara (Pretty Girls), After School (ah), T-Max (paradise).
lol This is the one of the best videos I've ever watched. It was funny and nice to watch. Korean music is so interesting, even though I can't understand the language. lol
Seeing DBSK together like this makes me cry. I WANT THEM BACK AS 5!!!!!!! That being said however, I have decided that I will go on a Simon and Martina video watching spree and watch all of your videos one after the other. Even though I have imense amounts of homework. I obviously have my priorities set out straight ;D
#1 Check the comments: NOT most people are offended. It's just been the group of k-pop youtube fans who decided to bash it over the last 2 days. #2 Where is my "love" for k-pop though this video: 2 days of filming, a week of film editing, a week of script writing, trying to translate all the titles, oh, and at least TRYING to make a video to educate other people about k-pop. What have you done to show your love? Bought an album? Went to the concert? Bashed another k-pop fan? Great job.
I'm proud to say I knew every one of those dances before I saw this video, and I'm just a normal american living in La. No asian in me. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! and I think it's good your introducing everyone to the wonders of K-Pop. =] -Tara
Was this really 2008? It only feels like a year ago when I first watched this and found you guys hilarious! It's amazing how you have created a name for yourselves by doing this!
Hey JinWook! Glad you liked the video! Enjoy the rest of the videos, if you have any ideas for us, we'd love to hear them. I'll see you in class. *^_^* Martina
Forgot how much I love this. :D Well, not the songs... as I'm STILL frequently listening to them (at least Rainism and Mirotic and Lies are probably much more than classics!). But this video definitely reminds me of the good old times and why I fell in love with them and the dances. Martina's Mirotic interpretation is awesome (even a TOP fangirl in 2008, eh?)! And Simon and his Rainism... ^^ "No. Rain will not allow it." Haha, well put! Thanks so much for sharing your teacher experiences!
scratch that i wish i became a kpop fan in the DBSK era (tears). would have been awesome to see them from R&B/harmony group to sexy pop to the divide and conquer.Hope JYJ comeback soon. I miss Yoochuns voice. In the meantime i'll listen to TVXQs new album
This was the FIRST video I saw of you two and I came back after watching Martina's Dance Footage. Kpop has really change but you two are STILL Great. Hope you guys do more video of "How To Dance KPop."
16 ปีที่แล้ว
woooooot - I loooved these :D thanks for making me discover totally awesome K-pop bands :D you two rock :D
2008 was the year of my first Kpop exposure. Well, technically I was introduced to it in early 2009 but it was these songs that made me fall in love with it most notably Lies and Mirotic and I have a guilty pleasure for You Go Girl.
u guys are really funny! I almost died at two parts: top's eyebrow raise and when the guy said "okay" with the hoodie on, hahaha pure gold. a little outdated now but so funny, five stars!!!
that was GREAT. If you ever do a sequel, may i recommend: TOPS finger pointing staring while rapping in, well, most bigbang songs. GEE! Rainism: Bad boy, im gonna be a bad boy... kara: pretty girl "yeah yeah yeah yeah" with the arm waving
Hahahaha! I laughed so hard when I watched this. You both can dance better than me. Martina you have fantastic taste! TOP is difficult to dislike. I totally LOLed when "Simon just made it Rainism".
I don't understand why you and your friends are wasting your time bashing a k-pop fan who has their heart in the right place. Even if you're offended by this video, you should stop bashing once you hear that we didn't mean to insult k-pop. Why don't you go bash another youtube user who actually makes videos because they hate DBSK?
OMG this video made me realize you were already in Korea when DBSK released Mirotic and they were like IMMENSELY HUGE back then in Korea, if you only knew them by then! this would be so much more awesome
"so beat them to the punch next time they apologize and tell them that you love them." xD oh man that line still makes me laugh. Been a fan of eatyourkimchi since I saw discovered your videos on the itunes podcast couple of years ago.
This reminds me of I was at Dongdaemun station and they had an amateur show outside of people dancing to all the top hits. Then crowd members had a contest. :) good memories.

eehh 2008 was such a good year for k pop. when the world was ideal

You've come a long way, congrats. so much nostalgia from these videos.
2021 and I am revisiting this video. Back then when I am in High School I used to watch this and feeling amused :D
Me too! From the year 2025
This is the first video I've watched from Simon and Marina and kept following them until they moved to Japan. (I stopped as I was disappointed by them bashing South Korea in few videos when they left)
Fast forward to 2021, I was thinking about them and how are they doing.

Every now and then I go back watching this video BECAUSE IT'S GOLD

I miss the old days. I should be studying and here I am watching older EYK videos.
smileforwishy: yes they do. Sometimes we show them the finished movies before anyone else on youtube sees them. ^^*
if only simon and martina knew back then that they'd get to meet/be in close proximity with/interview some of these groups! it's fun to see some "old" simon and martina. :)

"And Trogdor comes IN THE NIGHT!!!!" We love you.
This is crazy watching this 10 years later, I also just realised that I was 6 years old when this was posted 😬❤️
Now u 19
I'm watching this video again after 10 years and I'm enjoying it as much as the first time. I love you guys!!! ♥♥♥♥♥
This is the first EYK video I watch I think. So long ago. I was half way through my senior year.

Simon's face gave me a heart attack at his 'OK' xD
this was the first video i ever watched from you guys, and i seriously thought you guys were professional dance teachers x) happy 3 year anniversary!!!
home and exams due tomorrow, but i've decided to go back and reminisce through eyk videos for reaching 500k lol
the greatest video i've ever seen so far. I've been living in USA for 2 years, so you guys just taught me awesome moves! jeezzee.. i'm way behind.
whatching this in 2014
Yup, we know it's called "Lies". It says that in the description box, but most of our friends know it as "I'm So Sorry" because that's the main English part.
this us where my kpop journey began
Kayla Lewis mine too :')

How have I not seen this till now?

Hello guys.
I am a Korean living in USA since year 2000.

I don't understand why you and your friends are wasting your time bashing a k-pop fan who has their heart in the right place. Even if you're offended by this video, you should stop bashing once you hear that we didn't mean to insult k-pop.
Why don't you go bash another youtube user who actually makes videos because they hate DBSK?
I do listen to these songs! They're so so catchy and great to dance to...plus I have a mad crush on TOP....
-M
You guys are brilliant! This is GREAT!!

"so beat them to the punch next time they apologize and tell them that you love them."
