Eatyourkimchi is a production company based in South Korea that publishes videos featuring the two creators, Simon and Martina Stawski. They are known for their videos which compare the differences in Korean and Western culture. The YouTube channel featuring their videos is the 18th most popular in Korea and the YouTube portion of their videos accumulated more than 239 million views as of October 6th, 2015 on four separate channels. The rising popularity of ''Eatyourkimchi'' has led to the Stawskis being interviewed by various media outlets around the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5iHQHq6WgKs4jFSln72zgvGqX0jrg?docId=CNG.94f2aee15fe6c666bf80f346b88c4ec4.291 )〕 In 2012, the Stawskis officially registered ''Eatyourkimchi'' as a company in South Korea and opened their own studio in Seoul. ==The Kpop, Korean Food, and Life in Korea Blog== The video series seeks to fill a gap left by travel guides and government organizations by helping teach visitors from other countries about daily life in Korea. According to Elsyabeth Hahm of Yonhap News, eatyourkimchi gives viewers "a local's perspective into Korean culture that you can't get from your average guidebook." The videos take a humorous approach.〔 The video blog has some recurring themes and topics such as the Korean language, food, and music. Individual videos have covered how a Korean washing machine works,〔 delivery services, the table bells in Korean restaurants, and how to pay bills.〔 The series has included cooking videos for kimbap, tteokbokki, instant ramen and many other foods.〔 With the opening of their studio in Seoul, the Stawskis started interviewing K-Pop singers and artists. Before that, the two felt it was inappropriate to invite artists to their personal homes for interviewing purposes and declined several interview requests. They also have regularly scheduled segments: * Wednesdays: TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) - Fan questions about living in Korea, Korean culture and society and their personal lives answered by the Stawskis * Thursdays: WANK (Wonderful Adventure Now Korea) - Showing popular places to hang out as well as road trips, or FAPFAP (Food Adventure Program For Awesome People) - Eating out in Korean restaurants, food delivery services, cooking Korean dishes and convenience store items * Fridays: Livechat - Chatting with fans, opening of care packages * Saturday: WTF (Wonderful Treasure Find) - unusual products and devices from all over the world, an Open The Happy video - Korea unrelated videos such as movie reviews, make-up tutorials and montages of their pets or DICKS (Discussing Interesting Contemporary Korean Slang) - a segment hosted by employees SooZee and Leigh about Korean and North American slang words * Sundays: K Crunch Indie - Introducing Korean indie music, or Speaker's Corner, uploaded every Sunday on their You are Here Cafe channel, with many people leaving messages in their coffeeshop booth, discussing popular topics in the news in Korea or around the world. In December 2011 the WTF, segment was replaced with the WANK segment, due to the Stawski's wish to go out more often.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WTF - Our Last WTF - Eat Your Kimchi )〕 When Martina fractured her ankle in February 2012, WANK was temporarily replaced by FAPFAP (Food Adventure Program For Awesome People). However, due to the popularity of FAPFAP, they have decided to have FAPFAP and WANK on alternate Thursdays.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Samchi Gui and Budaejjigae - FAPFAP - Eat Your Kimchi )〕 The WTF segment however was reintroduced on July 27, 2013, after many viewers actively advocated for the series persistently and the Stawskis wanted to break out of their working routine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WTF - Breast Enhancers - Eat Your Kimchi )〕 In addition to their regular segments, they also have the annual Eat Your Kimchi Awards (EYKAs) with 2012 marking the first ever awards ceremony. Categories of the 2012 awards included: Best Potential Music Mondays of the Year, Rookie of the Year, best gun usage and many more. Each of the winners is awarded with The Golden Spudgy Award, based on the Pekingese the couple adopted back in 2009. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eatyourkimchi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
