Simon and Martina are a couple who became famous with their Korean and Japanese vlogs and informational videos. Recently they moved back to Canada and are getting a divorce after 15 years of marriage. The drama is spilling into their social media, they are both engaging in petty behavior, the fans are getting involved… it's getting messy.

Recently:
- Simon has become some kind of minimalist/yoga/new age guru and got himself a dog named Fudgy.
- Martina is left alone in Japan to sort out their apartment. She moved back to Canada with Meemers.
- Simon made a IG live with another woman. Speculation about the nature of their relationship and whether Simon was cheating.
- Simon went to a vacation in Hawaii during the pandemic and Martina called him out.
- Simon is shilling a website that looks like a scam.
- Simon deletes Martina's comments criticizing him and blocks fans who defend her.
- Martina has announced that she plans to move back to Japan and leave Meemers with her mom.
- Simon uploaded a video in their EYK channel to address the rumors.

My ex used to love watching EYK but Simon always gave me bad vibes, they both love the attention too much but he skeeves me out for some reason. Glad to know my radar is still working but what a horrible situation for Martina. Naming your dog after a dead dog your ex-wife had is such a cunty thing to do. From the sounds of it he shouldn't have any animals at all. I hope Martina fleeces him for a shitload of cash in the divorce.

This video is golden.

- Doesn't want anyone to be blamed, but blames Martina's niece for interacting with the cat.
- "Martina is just angry and needs time to heal". "Why didn't she heal like me?"
- Ironically looks out of it during the entire video, and based on things HE has said about edibles, that might be how he's coping with his "healing".
- Keeps telling the community to stop being mean like it'll help.

It's weird that he wants to keep Hawaii private. If he did take COVID tests three times like he claimed, then saying he went to Hawaii should be fine. It only seemed to be a thing of contention since it was used against him.

I dunno if the narcissism claims are true, but based on the old info from their assistants back at the EYK Studios (I forgot their names after so long) it wouldn't shock me. However, I wouldn't say Martina is scott-free either, I imagine both could be difficult to work with or live with under the right circumstances.

Ever since the divorce Simon has been… weird. In videos he used to display joy, but maybe it was all fake, I dunno. The way he talks to the audience in the video makes it feel like he's talking to a child, if he did this to Martina, I'd be pissy, too.

I doubt the video will remain up once Martina sees it, but she seems more vocal so maybe she'll just make her own.

>the advice that the vet has given Martina is wrong bc my google search has said something else!
>humans can't give felines covid! (shows a picture with proof that there aren't known cases of felines giving humans covid)
>having a child over once is clearly more stress on a cat than having 2 dogs around every day!
>I can only meditate on remote beaches on Hawaii even though tbr locals were begging tourists to stay tf home

This is just 20 minutes of gaslighting and narc rage over her not handing over the cat because that and channel are the only things still linking them and the only things he can control her with.

Also tinfoil but I feel like this "mmm" sound he does after every fucking sentence is to regulate his breathy zen voice and keep himself sounding affected and believable kek
It's distracting how many times he does it and he can't put that on him speaking freely either because he obviously copy pasted his script into the ccs because they partially say something completely different than he does.

I think it's important to note that so far the drama has stayed on Instagram and reddit which have much smaller audience than their channel.
Martina has been only uploading upbeat videos unrelated to the breakup, very similar to their past content but Simon's videos are usually related to the breakup. He's now escalating the situation by releasing this to much broader audience. He might be milking this because his drama videos get more views and interaction.

A lot of Martina's comments come off as narc sperging. She absolutely hates if people are neutral towards Simon and she's trying to make him a monster. Which doesn't help since Simon is trying to manipulate everyone by being passive so when it all blows up he can just show her to be an aggressor.

The comments on Simon's shitty video are interesting, I advise people scroll and read some. Variants of:
>Retire this channel, leave as an archive
>I've been watching for ten years but am now unsubbing
>Get your own channel, Simon
>This was extremely difficult to watch
>You remind me of my narcissist mother
>You are manipulative
>Martina's content is similar to the old content so I will sub her, not interested in Simon
>This is jarring to see someone so different from the man we watched for a decade

I don't think this video is going well for him. His lengthy video description seems like a teenager's blogpost, wildly unprofessional. He should let go of the account since he clearly does not know how to make engaging content on his own, whereas Martina's solo videos have high approval in the comments. Even the "drama" angle is not working for him since nobody wants to see a half-dead looking scrote like him deliver the tea, drama channels are usually hosted by attractive, appealing people who you might actually want to talk to irl.

Gonna unsage since the first few pages of snow are filled with necro threadbumps and I don't think people know about this new thread (I only saw it in the catalog looking for another thread)

Martina has posted her official final post in their EYK Instagram account.

I have seen some theories that Simon's video was a way to force Martina out of their shared accounts or to sabotage her efforts to get sponsorships in order to return to Japan. I don't know if he as Machiavellian as they are painting him to be but there is definitely something off about him. I don't buy his carefree/mindfulness persona at all. The Tesla, purebred dog, Hawaii trip and total disregard for Meemer's health are huge contradictions for what he is preaching nowadays.

Apparently the captions of this video >>1328041 don't match with what Simon is saying, so redditors (https://www.reddit.com/r/simonmartina/comments/pqsf24/some_of_these_captions_flashed_by_so_fast_i_had/) are speculating that he was relying on a script and then used it for the subtitles. Later when he was editing the video, he forgot to update the subtitles. What he cut out:

>Martina has no right to keep it online. What if posted something private about her life and how she relates to the world?

This one sounds like a threat to me.

>I have seen some people fishing for evidence of my being evil through old videos. "Remember when he brought Martina coffee and it got cold? Proof that he was shitty all along! Remember that time he stole food on camera? This is how Simon must have been off camera too!" Movies do a good job of fostering this kind of smoking gun mentality: when bad guy is revealed, and it's a surprise, then the movie gives you a flashback that shows you the signs that you missed early on in the movie. "See! The evidence is all there, in the background!" People aren’t that simple, though. Movies are unrealistic depictions of human interaction, and some people use these depictions as frameworks for their own relationships.

The way people are fishing for the most inane reasons to call him an abuser, from the way he names his pets (Fudgy, but also Petra is called like that because she used to be "petrified" for being too scared) to how he acted in obviously fake skits (lmao i remember one where they tried a lie detector that shocks you when you tell a lie, and they proudly proclaimed they never smoked a joint in their life… and now they're both giant potheads. I'm surely that had nothing to do with the fact that Korea is VIOLENTLY anti drug).

meh, shitty argument nonny.

I always found it interesting that Simon was willing to follow Martina blindly through everything. Their channel was mainly build up around Martina's interests, kpop and weeb shit, they moved to Japan because Martina wanted to and when her health went downwards all their content was about Martina's struggles and her #buildaladder self-help bs, and Simon was just supposed to be there as her helper.

My tinfoil is that Simon wanted the divorce because he probably hated that their lives revolved around Martina's health, which in turn made her angry and now she believes he's a narcissist because from the outside, leaving your sick spouse for your own sake is a shitty (but common) thing to do.

She keeps sneakily leaving breadcrumbs about how abuse Simon was to her through all of the relationships while preaching that she doesn't want drama. It's been like two months since she declared that she would be leaving the EYK account because it was unsafe for her, yet she didn't leave until today (and we don't even know if she's going to be able to stay out of the EYK ig yet).

This isn't really about taking sides from my perspectives, they're both cows going through a very messy, public divorce both fighting to be the bigger victim.

The name of the dog might be a silly criticism but there is also his odd comment about finally having a healthy dog, which feels like a jab at Spudgy. Then Simon tried to infiltrate Martina's discord (I don't believe for a second that it was an accident), mass deleted comments supporting Martina and announced a new project with his suspected girlfriend on his wedding anniversary. Like you, I am not sure if he is a evil abuser, but at the very least he is a petty asshole. It's hilarious that he is claiming to be healed and into mindfulness.

Isn't that what Simon is doing to Aliana too? I have the feeling that he doesn't have an identity of his own and just absorbs the personality of the people around him. The peaceful hippie shit is more Aliana's thing.

My tinfoil is that Simon was having a long distance relationship on Martina with Aliana when he was in Japan. Martina found out and kicked him out. Simon came back to Canada to be closer to Aliana and Martina was left alone to take care of the house and Meemers.

i dunno, that's just speculation. He repeatedly said that they're not dating. Now, this wouldnt be the first time a man has ever lied, but considering how woman-scorned martina has acted these past few months, i can't believe she wouldn't let slip a very juicy "girlfriend" comment towards Aliana.

I think the reality is way more boring: when they were young and full of energy, they could cope with Martina limited mobility, now that they're older and her illness makes her (self-admittedly) more and more of an asshole on her bad days, he decided to peace out. I mean, if i were her i would started resenting the FUCK out of him, what were all those declarations of eternal love even for then?

He has a mind and mouth of his own, I find it more plausible he just shared her interests as you often start liking what your partner does when they are passionate about it and he probably wanted to move too.

She’s probably made quite a bit of money off of all her King Kogi merch. Her videos in Canada all had quite high views and seemed well received, and she has a ton of fans still so she is still making bank even without living in weebland.

I’m curious to know how she’s going to make this move to japan though - seems hasty to make that announcement when the country is still closed to tourists, and also, she might become physically disabled in the future. She also probably doesn’t speak much Japanese.

lmao, no he is definitely not a victim in this and that wasn't my point. I'm sure she wasn't forcing him to do anything. I'm just tinfoiling that Martina might be angry he left her because he didn't want to do the things they had in common anymore and it's very clear that Martina still wants to do them.

My point was more geared towards how everyone is eating up Martina's victim schtick and how she doesn't want to create drama even though she has no problem flinging implicating terms at Simon such as claiming that he is "grooming" the audience (>>1238153). I also think she probably knew that fans would quickly find out that she is following narc-victim IGs and her comments on youtube videos. I think she is vindictive and feels fine about their entire fanbase playing armchair-psychologists who just KNOWS Simon is an abuser because their mom was mean to them 10 years ago.

He's shitty for monetizing their problems on YT but she's just as shitty for baiting fans while claiming to stay drama-free.

I don't think their crimes are equal, Martina is still making content people want to see where Simon is being a self indulgent idiot blogging his feelings in Youtube videos. All Martina has posted were pointed comments mostly about pet health.

Simon knows people don't want to watch him and instead posts pictures of pets both on Instagram, in video thumbnails to try and soften the blow.
It's very clear 100% of the content people enjoyed came from Martina, and Simon was tagging along, obviously not forced by the chronically ill woman, but it makes it more stark to see when they consciously uncouple and Martina stays the same where he's a bitter husk.

It makes it very clear how much of what people enjoyed came from Simon, which is approximately 0.
I actually think Martina split with him rather than the other way around, he probably became too controlling or demanding based on his current crazy behavior and she cut him off.

Samefag, I went on a tangent there, but the point I was trying to make was that Simon is not doing anything for the community he's built, just being a self indulgent twat, whereas Martina is continuing to make content people enjoy seeing, so purely from a viewer perspective Martina is the better person for being considerate of her viewers, unlike whatever the fuck picrel is.

Reminds me of a situation where a guy I know has been tormenting his family for years because his ex wife saw he was trying to clean house and divorced him before he left her and the kids with nothing.

I'm really curious about what kind of content Simon plans to make, if any. Worst comes to worst I guess he can just monetize his pets because it's the only appealing thing he's got right now, but I think even fans are sick of the pet photos from him on the EYK ig kek

Wasn't he just piggybacking off her success?

How true is this? I didn't follow them that closely and I was unaware of these things.
>Martina was the one who did the majority of the work for the brand. She wrote the songs, she often research the places that they travel to and knew all the information while Simon often stood around smiling.
>Simon used Martina’s illness to make himself look like the perfect partner. He even made a video about EDS without her.
>When Martina went to Canada to visit her family because her dad was sick and dying, Simon made a whole video about how he couldn’t function without her, when he picked her up at the airport the focus of his video was on how he was so lost without her and how he had missed her so much never mind to the fact that Martina was going through something much much bigger, he stole the show and you can see from her face in that video that she’s tired of it.

This is an old comment I saw posted on their subreddit (I believe under the ig post when she first announced she was going back to Japan) and yes, it looks like she kept up with her visa paperwork and the renewal has been approved so that's how she's gotten back in.

I am curious what Simon might do in retaliation. At this point it's just fun to poke at Simon and see what "woe is me" garbage he is going to do in response to Martina. I hope she thrives so we'll see his meltdowns get worse and worse.

They probably didn't sign a prenup so the EYK business got split 50/50.

It doesn't seem like farmers are going to get the milky spectacle they were hoping for from this whole debacle. I'm also not sure what people are upset with Simon for yet. I get poking at him, but he's a man. Nobody cares what he has to say, it will always be dissected until he's the one to blame, yet he's barely snowflake worthy (since he usually stays off of sm). The desperation to make some middle-aged man a "cow" just because of a breakup is pathetic (like most man-haters).

S/n - and her fans can nitpick their old content if they want, but they had no problem with that content before. It's fine and good with these couple channels until they break up, then all of sudden people have a problem with their old videos (not to mention the couple themselves). Too late for that though because they already made that money, so this stupid saga will basically just be full of spilled "milk". O well.

But he has to know, he obviously stalks the subreddit, since screenshotted reddit comments for his video, and probably here soon too.

this is it, EYK was quirky Asian shit to start with, and yoga is not quirky enough to interest their old fans. I think both of them came out of this divorce looking like shitheads, but the fanbase of weeb girls with munchie tendencies obviously feels slighted by Simon. He's an asshole but the "any behavior I don't like = covert narc" narrative is annoying too. Maybe I'm all wrong but I think it seems pretty obvious that Simon dumped her because he thought he could do better all of a sudden (that hairline screams midlife crisis) and Martina is very bitter. Her bitterness is righteous because dropping your wife of over a decade because you suddenly wanted more out of life is a shitty thing to do BUT I doubt he's abusive.

Like.. if the cat managed to sustain 2 international flights, im sure living with dogs he came to know and sleep with was fine.
This is 100% both of them being petty af, cmon… She believed simon would give him covid. Animals can get covid, yes, but it's so extremely rare in house pets that it was clearly just a way to hurt him.

Were they criticized more? I saw on the subreddit at the start of this mess people were pissed that they weren't partecipating in the stop asian hate hashtag, she replied being "I HAVE MY OWN SHIT TO DEAL WITH!!" and then made a post about it.

i can't honestly say he's in the wrong here, especially with the tinfoiling going on in r/simonandmartina , those people are nuts, finding hints he was aboosive all along for stating he wanted to be helpful to her because her health is deteriorating: this particular part drives me nuts cus that's what she's been saying as well! she's just being stubborn and maybe "going out on a bang" type of mentality moving back to japan on her own, but from what SHE shared he was 100% correct

Thanks for posting these anon. I think Simon just needs to permanently leave the social media sphere. I don't think you can be an influencer and not have some sort of parasocial relationship form with fans, I think that's just an unfortunate part of being an influencer and any influencer who says they don't want to foster parasocial relationships (to make things more "authentic") is a filthy liar. You cannot exist as someone with a platform who engages with fans and not have this relationship form in one way or another.

As for the boundaries he's set, I think he's much better off going private. As a small public figure, being criticized on your page/on any of your spaces, is to be expected. He's not a private citizen with the right to demand/expect respect/kindness as long as he chooses to post on the EYK ig, a business ig with over 200k followers. He's not the first or last person on the internet to have shit flung at him, and should know by now the only solution would be to leave.

Yeah, anon, because it totally doesn't irritate east asians when random white people show up to live in their country and observe every daily interaction of their lives like a fat kid watching ants under a magnifying glass or the sped niece from finding nemo.

I’m kinda glad to see the thread because I had been wondering about some of the stuff I was seeing in real time and hadn’t been here in a while.

I lost interest in them as “content creators” because Simon was weird and Martina got a bit grating - but during all this recent crap Martina isn’t super milky, just seems like normal going through it, and Simon got really creepy, like cult leader creepy and the comments he’s made are waving huge flags.
Some of the real milk is the comments on the EYK Instagram, holy shit people are nuts, I think I took screenshots but damn, it wasn’t even people being in a Simon versus Martina type of thing just cringe.

Is it just me or is Simon starting to look a bit like Brian Laundrie? If I was his girlfriend, and he started building a van to get deeper into his new-age bullshit, I would run to the hills.

All jokes aside, I feel like Simon is going this new-age hippy route cause he has no idea who he truly is. Typical midlife crisis coping. He might have been a bit of a Koreaboo/Weeb, who enjoyed a little anime or Kpop on the side, but I am sure Martina was the one who was truly obsessed and was the one who decided to build a career around her koreaboo/weeb obsession. That's where I believe some of the animosity from Martina comes. Simon is still using their main channel (as well) to post his own videos, which are pretty much just him vlogging and trying to explain his side of the story AKA little to no effort. There is a chance that Martina did most of the thinking behind EYK and that Simon mostly just went with the flow and reaped the benefits. One earlier comment basically mentioned how Martina built Simon up and he was lucky to be along for the ride and now I see that being a possibility. If he's truly the narc Martina says he is, then I could definitely see him leech off her. I remember a video back in the day where he went on about how he wanted to do anything to be healthy and not injure himself, otherwise, he would be a huge hassle to the people around him, which felt like a microaggression. He probably tried to appear indisposable, him pointing out that he wanted to be fitter to help her as part of that too. He probably knew his days in that relationship were numbered and actually had to make an effort, but in the end, it was all about himself, not Martina.


Coming back to Simon's identity crisis, he seems to have no idea who he truly is. I don't know if it's because he tends to leech onto people and make their personality and hobbies his (like with Martina and his new gf), him being a huge closet case(Dothraki man warrior huh huh) or just a no-use narcissist scrote, but there seems to be a certain empty-shell element to him. Almost feel sorry for him, cause he is still trying to give us the ol' innocent Simon man-child vibes, while at the same time the facade is slipping and cracks are starting to appear on the surface. I feel both Martina and Simona should have left this drama outside of the internet, cause both have been childish as hell, but since they've started it, they now have to find a way to end it in an effective manner and resume their Youtube careers. And this is where it gets interesting for me because the way both went about it shows who they truly were in their relationship as partners of a business. Especially the way Simon goes about it shows us who he truly is. It's obvious he's still trying to cling onto the wealth and fame that came with EYK, which makes sense cause it could be potentially good money. Unfortunately, he has no idea how to go about it. Martina has now shown us who he truly is, and him trying to repair the damage is showing us how miserable he is at managing his affairs. Thing is, Martina probably did all the PR and image control in the past and the dude has no idea how to go about it. He's like a lost boy who lost his mommy and is now upset that she told him to move out and stand on his own two feet, hence why he's trying to blame everything that's going on on her. She might have aired some dirty laundry, but he basically dug his own grave. At this point I don't care about Martina anymore. Simon is the one that i'd pop some popcorn for.(sage your blog)

Simon has no YouTube career - everyone hates him and his videos, and EYK is looking like it was 99% martina anyway. He needs to just close the laptop and quit trying to defend himself to people who don’t wanna hear it. Agreed that he seems like a boring, empty shell of a person who just glommed onto someone with a bigger personality.

I’m undecided about martina - she’s definitely better off without him, and though I don’t care for her crappy Claire’s/H&M kids aesthetic and she was also a bitch in those YouTube/insta comments, I love that she’s getting out there and being herself and not giving a shit.

She lived in Asia for more than a decade and experienced more "Asian culture" than the weebs trying to force her to say some stupid shit that doesn't matter. Fuck that. It doesn't need to be said.

I used to follow them regularly and… seriously, their audience was almost exclusively unappealing, die-alone pickmes drooling over k-pop idols.

They would just self-insert themselves into Martina's place where they had a world of adventure with a tall, funny husband and cute pets and street food and pretty boys!

And the break up… that's Simon leaving THEM… and he's the bastard.

No one ever mentions the fact that Martina having chronic pain (while not her fault) would also take a toll on Simon. Spouses of people with chronic illnesses are 6 times more likely to be depressed. These types of marriage are at a significantly higher rate of divorce.

I mean i love cats and i know he won't give a shit Martina isnt around lol, and I guess everything worked out fine since Simon moved to Lisboa and another international move would have been too much for that cat.
It just seems that instead of her really care for the animal she just wanted to be an ass against her ex, but i guess that's how divorces go.

What about Martina's mom's house is unfamiliar for Meemers? She has reported that Meemer's crystals are gone, so he's stress free in a home he's adjusted to.

>other than to uphold some kind of visa status potentially

This is probably why she returned. She says here >>1331286 that she has been in contact with Breaker, the company that most likely sponsored them moving from Korea to Japan, the whole time. She most likely returned to Japan as soon as she was allowed to to keep her visa status.

>>1398597
NTA but yes I do think it was just a way to get back at him, but I also can't help but feel like Martina had valid reasons to keep Meemers away from Simon given the urine crystals he was getting. Martina would look significantly more like an asshole if Meemers didn't have health issues and she was just keeping him to keep him. I would like to know if Simon would've moved Meemers with him to Lisbon or ultimately given him to his parents or something if Martina let him have the cat.

Somehow these two both make the lamest shit on Youtube without each other, it's crazy. Martina is in Japan, I'm weeby as they come and her content is SO boring. She just cooks very basic food and toddles around in parks near her house. Like, I hope she has a nice life, she seems like a nice person but I guess without someone around to encourage her to leave the house her content just becomes bad music and boring recipes.

He's a shell of who he used to be. His happiness now is so solemn sounding compared to how ecstatic he used to be. I honestly think someday he'll off himself. Just something about him now. Like hes trying to force everything despite knowing its all over. His video style kind of conveys that too. He has no idea who to market to. He isnt acting bubbly-why would he? He's lost almost his entire female fanbase (which is all he had) via ditching Martina. So hes not cute pandering to weeb girls, but he's not quite able to transition into pandering to men either. Breaking through with men is a lot harder as another guy.

I thought the same at first but now her Instagram stories are filled with this shit. A few weeks of not being able to even sleep? Pretty unbelievable that you’d still be choosing to live in a country where you don’t speak the language by yourself if you’re in such pain you can’t even sleep, or cook, or sit and edit a video. Personally I think her and Simon were both happy to overstate the severity of her illness for views and sympathy. I don’t doubt she has EDS, I just question how bad it is given she made the choice to live in Japan by herself with no support, barely knowing the language.

I get it somewhat for Martina to continue posting content since their fan base overwhelming is on her side so she does have a slight ability to make money.

But Simon should just get out unless he has to post to their channel in order to keep getting that joint check. He can easily just do whatever since he is “healthy” physically compared to Martina.

To be honest I think that’s why he is still doing anything online. I wouldn’t be surprised if the main channel devolves into something really weird since they both would have to keep posting or something to keep getting money from it.

>invites people to talk about it on his discord channel
Also worth noting, according to the comments he posted both of these videos on the anniversary of Spudgy's death (Martina's IG confirms this, Simon hasn't posted about him which makes me wonder if he simply didn't realize? Seems like a big coincidence though so maybe I'm just naive).
He sounds happier and more like his old self. I hate polyfags but he doesn't seem too coomery about it, definitely doesn't help with the cult vibe though. I feel like he was extremely emotionally dependent on Martina during their relationship and going poly might be overcompensating for that.

Speaking of Martina she’s announced a Tokyo tours interactive map fans can pay for. I think this is a great direction for her to take because going to Japan makes me nervous because idk what restaurants/neighborhoods would be good.

Of the few Simon asskissers who exist, a lot of them will point out that Martina was vindictive throughout the whole thing by being vocal about how upset she was by Simon's actions. I think she has made strides in her healing process from the divorce and does want to move away from this, and wants to do so without giving those fangirls any ammo to come at her with.

it always makes me laugh when moids pretend that their new polyamory is about some romantic, wholesome *~pursuit of love, uwu~* instead of the reality that they just want to fuck multiple people without being called out on it or feeling guilty kek

And most of the poly couples end being "I want to have a harem for myself and they have forbidden to seek someone else".

The tattoo sucked anyways. There was absolutely no cohesion in composition and theme. Like a child he just plucked random ideas out of the air and slapped it on his arm.

essentially, because his 'authentic mental health guru' content is ass and isn't getting him the numbers he wants, he's posting to the EYK channel for the extra engagement, even if it isn't in the spirit of the channel's previously posted content.
he tries to act like he's above it all through out the video with his live laugh love bullshit, but it's pretty plain that he's jealous of how well Martina's King Kogi channel is doing.

I love it when moids who were one half of an influencer couple find out everyone actually hates them and were only there for their ex, see also Jake Munro.

Oh my fucking god, what a pathetic, defensive and unpleasant tone to say that in. What a loser.
Glad his content is dogshit and Martina's doing well and learning new stuff to make her content even better.
I'm so, so glad she's rid of this pathetic cuck, you can tell he's one of those moids that drag you down with their shitarse attitude and selfishness.

I've been annoyed with the excessive Simon hate in the fallout of the divorce, but this massive cope of a video is making him sound retarded. He's basically trying to act like his spirituality and personal videos are a totally natural direction for a channel that has always been about experiencing things in Korea and later Japan with his ex-wife. Ever since Martina made her goodbye video his videos have been doing even worse than before, almost like all the active eyk subs just went over to King Kogi. He should just make his own channel.
Also just listening to him talk he sounds like he lost his mind after the divorce or something.

Idk i miss the drama days, they were both so childish in sucha funny and entertaining way.
My favourite bit was when they were fighting over the cat, martina accusing simon of putting excessive stress on it bc of an hour drive back to his place + hi new dog, simon accusing martina of leaving her niece bother the cat and not looking at the evidence that the cat and dog were getting along fine, then ultimately martina got the cat and the she. Just. LEFT for japan leaving the damn cat to her mom.
I dunno it was hilarious. Oh and also simon was a fucking selfish moron for traveling to hawaii when hawaiian ppl were asking foreigners not to come, unlike martina, who went back to japan when Japanese ppl were asking foreigners not to come. That was funny as well

for what it's worth, he does have his own channel, but unsurprisingly it's not getting the views he wants, so he keeps posting on EYK.. not getting the views he wants.

I think they've been friends for a while and he appeared in another video a few months ago, they're both wearing gold bands on their left ring finger but some people in the youtube comments are claiming he's already married. She hasn't clarified either way in the comments but I saw this interaction so idk

I think Martina likes pretty much every comment that's posted shortly after she uploads, regardless of what the actual comment is though. So maybe she did like that comment because she was confirming it, or maybe she just liked it to encourage more engagement.
