WANK – Korean Hospitals!
So, here was the original plan…
We had busted our butts to get Music Monday finished an entire day early. It involved a total lack of sleep and a copious amount of coffee, but we were doing it so that we could have a glorious WANK with our friends in Ansan (you might remember them from our Wonder Girls “Be My Baby” review. Since traveling to Ansan would take up a little bit of our time and we’d have to bring Spudgy, we thought we’d need an extra day to get home, edit, and have the WANK up for Wednesday. After finishing Music Monday a day early, we arrived in Ansan and decided to go out for dinner in celebration! YAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!
So, after some yummy Dak Galbi and bottles of soju, we went over to D-Day (in downtown Ansan), which is one of the coolest…bars? Clubs? I don’t know what it would be considered, but it’s a really cool place. Basically, you sit down with your friends at your own personal table in this huge area. You eat and drink and talk, kind of like a restaurant, just one that is very poorly lit. Anyhow, what makes this place special is that every 45 minutes or so, the music changes to danceable music, and it becomes a super amazing dance party time, and everyone gets up and dances in the aisles! There is no designated dance floor! We had an awesome time hopping around like awkward foreigners (seriously, we were like the only 4 foreigners there in a room that had close to 200 people) and making new Korean friends. When we requested T-ara’s “Roly Poly” Simon and I were cheered on with our T-ara dance skills. Ah yes dancing, the international language.
What is really interesting about Korean clubs, is that sometimes everyone will dance freestyle, but then once in a while a WHOLE TON of people get up and do an organized line dance…which totally blew our minds since we had no idea what was going on.
Martina Busted her Ankle
So how did Martina end up on crutches? Although she would love to say it was from doing something heroic or extreme, Martina was simply jumping around while dancing to a super peppy song and she landed on someone’s foot as they were squeezing behind her, and her ankle just rolled out and she hit the ground hard. However, she got right back up and got back to dancing. Probably because of the adrenaline (*cough* partially because of the soju) she didn’t feel how badly she had damaged her foot. Next morning, though, was a different story. With no more music, no more fun, no more distractions, cold, hard pain kicked in, and she knew she had done something nasty to her foot. Ooooh ankle, you so nasty!
We brought her to the hospital in Ansan to get it checked. She was extremely happy she had packed her matching purple Taeyang socks because normally Martina just wears any two socks she finds. The X-rays don’t show a clear fracture, but they said they couldn’t be sure without an MRI. So they put this splint/half cast on Martina and told her to keep it elevated and rested. Since we don’t have health insurance here in Korea, the whole process of us going in, getting X-rays, doctor check ups, and a splint, all cost 340,000 won. Not too bad, I think. Also, having a brief Korean conversation with the super awesome nurse that was helping her, Martina was delighted to be called 누나 noona for the first time. She was like, seriously excited and began singing SHINee…NOOOOONA YOU’RE MMMVVVVVVPPPP!!! She is far too chipper for an injured person…love you snuggle berry!
Bad news is we can’t really go out adventuring for our WANKs now, because Martina is barely mobile. The best we can do is to have mini-WANKs, in which we go to a restaurant in the area and show you some of the food. We’re going to call it the Food Adventure Program aka F.A.P. We initially thought of calling it the Fun and Productive Food Adventure Program For Awesome People, but that would be too long of a name. So we’re keeping it shorter. Also, Martina might be sitting down for Kpop Music Mondays, which sucks, because she should be jumping around, as it looks like Big Bang’s “Blue” is going to win. Ah well! At least it’s not an icy snowy crutch-deathtrap outside, and in a couple weeks Martina will have buff upper arms! YES!

February 29, 2012 at 6:10 amWell..at least you we’re already partying ^.^
I sprained my ankle last year carnival, right before I was supposed to meet my friends and yeah..hurt like hell. Didn’t stop me from walking around for the next few hours. Oh the regret the next day LOL
Get well soon!!
February 28, 2012 at 1:15 pmOH NOES! Martiiiinaaaa!!!!!!! Poor you! :( But I feel you pain xD
I broke my ankle too, a couple weeks ago :P
WE CAN BE SCREWED UP ANKLE BUDDIES! :D
Anyway, I fractured my right fibula two weeks ago and it hurt so much! Actually, it didn’t really hurt that much and I was smiling like a lunatic in my wheelchair at first (Btw I broke it playing frisbees in PE. I know, I’m lame. But if you ask anyone else, I got stampeded by a savage herd of unicorn :D). Then it got swollen to the size of a tangerine and it HURT!
And I had fifth period PE too, so all the hospitals were at lunch break so I sat in the car for a couple hours before I could hop into one but all they did was make me wait, then slap an ace bandage around my enormous ankle and send me to another one to get x-rays. Meh for cheap insurance. I only had to pay $20 though so I guess I can’t complain.
Oh, and it’s totally true about the buff arms thing! o_O Now I have really achy bruised muscly arms and mismatched legs. xD
GOOD LUCK! And don’t go around too much for us, if you’ll heal faster, we don’t really mind :)
February 28, 2012 at 12:48 pmawesome pedicure Simon!

February 25, 2012 at 3:03 pmGet TOP’s beautiful butt chair for Music Mondays. xPPPP
February 25, 2012 at 1:24 pmmartina probably had an ankle sprain instead of a fracture (very hard to break anything in that area)…
the degree of the sprain is really unknown, she could have had a small tear in the ligament or a big one (MRI is needed to know this)… but generally speaking you’re suppose to ice it (screw the elevation and all that junk, just ice it lol), it’ll get swollen and all that junk, and depending on how long it was swollen THEN you go to the doctor (for the most part 1-2 days if it’s still like that then you go, normally they die down in 1-2 days).
From personal experience, I used to play badminton in high school, I sprained my ankle quite a bit, but I’m a good healer, I don’t get swollen ever (makes it hard to tell how bad it is, but this is a very rare case, i don’t even get swollen when they took my wisdom teeth out), but for the most part I couldn’t walk for 1-2 days after (which is normal)… it’s also normal to be walking around right after because you’re still warm (I was still doing squat right after one of the time), if she had a fracture she wouldn’t be able to put any pressure on it right after.
Unfortunately, a fracture might take a shorter time to heal than an severe ankle sprain (ligaments don’t get enough blood supply to heal properly like the other stuff). Martina should be able to walk gingerly in about 2-3 days and walk normally in about 1 week, but the foot will feel abnormal on big impact for 6 months to a year.
this is not medical advice, just from personal experience, I sprained my ankle ALOT lol.
February 25, 2012 at 9:21 amAww, well feel better soon! I think you’re handling it really well. ^_^ I’m a huge baby when it comes to pain so it’s fun to see you fussing over painted toenails and such. And also, you guys are probably the cutest and sweetest couple of all time ever. Loved the ending. <3
February 25, 2012 at 6:31 amget better soon martina! :)
February 25, 2012 at 6:28 amI just got over a broken ankle, crutches for four months. it was terrible!
February 25, 2012 at 5:22 ami know what you mean about the crutch pain though, people say wrapping your crutches helps, i didnt do it but my arms did get a lot stronger so it will get easier.
good luck!
Don’t worry about how you got injured; I twisted my ankle while stepping off a hugh pavement while traveling in TUNISIA haha and still having 7 days to go walking on my injury and putting ice on it every night. I was also having the tourista and could barely eat anything.
You know, sometimes, it just happens! XD Don’t be embrrassed by it :P
February 25, 2012 at 12:50 amMartina GET BETTER SOON EH!!!
February 24, 2012 at 1:10 pmSo sorry to see Martina hurt her ankle!! Take care and get well real soon!!
February 24, 2012 at 3:52 amSeveral years ago I had an experience of drinking, singing and dancing in Karaoke Box, fell down and hurt my right arm…and the next morning I could not move my right arm at all!!btw D-day sounds like a nice place to hang out with friends!! is it possible to put on more clip on that night?? and how much $ per head?A friend of mine asked me to be a DJ in someone’s birthday party later that I never did that before! and I am planning to play lots of K-Pop dance tunes on that party if possible!
Whoa, Martina, get well soon! ^^
February 24, 2012 at 2:23 amI think I have studied ankle fractures this year T_T But I’m not a physiotherapist… yet.
Ahh, Martina get well soon~
February 24, 2012 at 1:22 amrofl buff arms epic. Said this on youtube but imma say it again. Get well soon Martina! Simon and Spudgy has your back! :D
February 23, 2012 at 11:37 pmawww martina :( get better soon! PITY PARTY TIME!! No dancing allowed though ;)
February 23, 2012 at 11:24 pmMartina ;33
February 23, 2012 at 9:24 pmI also know your pain. I broke my leg in two places. Well actually i underwent surgery 7 days ago, and it hurts like there’s no tomorrow. I have crutches but forearm ones. They are really comfortable.
Hwaiting ! :D
Ohh, I’m so sorry that Martina is injured! Cheer up and take care of yourself, don’t worry about WANKs, there is no rush^^ And I’m really looking forward to FAP right now, sounds like an awsome idea (minus the fact that you get to eat and we only get to look at you and feel the cravings).
February 23, 2012 at 8:11 pmThink happy thoughts Martina! BIGBANG’s new songs are coming out and that should keep you occupied till you feel better.
February 23, 2012 at 6:39 pmI have two suggestions for chairs I think you’ll love Martina: one T.O.P.’s chair he sits in in the “Turn It Up Loud” MV and two the butt chair he sits in in the “Knockout” MV. You know the ones. I hope it’s a tiny fracture and it heals quickly!
February 23, 2012 at 6:20 pmaww… poor Martina! hang in there! but i think you’re in good hands
February 23, 2012 at 5:32 pmwith your Dothraki man-slave there…. feel better!
im sry martina
February 23, 2012 at 4:06 pmgomennasai!!!!!
dat means sry in japanese
dont get wrong thoughts in your head simon
i dont know how
but ya
………
Ouch. Sorry to hear about your injury, Martina. I once had a tiny fracture in my foot from doing sports with bad footwear. It was small enough that I didn’t need to bother with a cast, but I had to keep the swelling down for weeks on end.
FWIW, at least you can spend more time with Spudgy, and enjoy Simon’s ballads “I LOST MY PANTS” among other touching hits. :)
Simon: you’re a good husband. I salute you!
February 23, 2012 at 3:23 pmGet better soon Martina! Nom nom some lollies and you’ll be right :D
February 23, 2012 at 3:01 pmGet better soon Martina!! We love you <3
February 23, 2012 at 2:22 pmFeel better soon!
February 23, 2012 at 2:12 pmAw! I hope you feel better Martina! 언니 화이팅!
February 23, 2012 at 2:11 pmsimon great job on nail painting! and martina feel better soon
February 23, 2012 at 1:47 pmYou guys should go to a jijimbang since Martina’s not feeling well. I read that they’re good for your health…but I might be wrong…
February 23, 2012 at 1:12 pmIsn’t that a sauna-type thing? Sweat + a cast = musty stinky smell you’re stuck with until the cast comes off (aka weeks).
February 23, 2012 at 1:18 pmum if you have a cast then it’s unhygienic for you to go to a steamy place like jjimjilbang
February 23, 2012 at 7:41 pmIt’s okay :) You guys never disappoint with anything, Martina feel better…! Hope everything goes alright, and don’t start getting grouchy when you can’t do all the things you want, your health is first :D
February 23, 2012 at 1:12 pmOMG We live in Ansan!!!! (but obviously haven’t lived here long enough)—- Is D-Day in Jungang?? EPIC!!! I’M GOING NOOOW!!! I’ve been to that hospital, and my husband almost passed out there when they took his blood (and couldn’t pee in the 3 cups for an hour. haha), and our boss was like, “Oh my, what kind of weaklings have I hired?!?!”
February 23, 2012 at 12:51 pmGet well soon Martina! I’m voting up Blue for you! Hwaiting!
February 23, 2012 at 12:45 pmoh no! lmao @ Simon : Dothraki Man Slave!
Get better Martina! Fighting :)
February 23, 2012 at 12:33 pmI hate crutches and they are brutal. Don’t lose courage. One thing I hated the most was the inability to walk and i was stressed out and felt useless and vulnerable. But keep you head up. You guys are like master minds at finding alternatives to doing exciting things and so I look forward to more videos. Get better and STAY OFF THAT LEG!!!! Please ^_^ It will make matter worse if you force yourself. Take care Unni.
February 23, 2012 at 11:21 amWhenever my daughter and I watch KPop performances & someone is hurt & can’t dance, we always joke about the chair they are stuck sitting in. We call it their “Pimp Chair.” So, Martina….get yourself a Pimp Chair!
February 23, 2012 at 10:32 amMartina totally deserves a Pimp Chair ;) I usually find it pretty awkward in kpop perfs though… like they couldn’t do a better job of making it less weird?
February 23, 2012 at 11:49 amHahaha!! “Painting the nails like a man!!!” XD Get well soon Martina!! FIGHTING!!! X)
February 23, 2012 at 10:31 amAlso, I just want to say how much I love the two of you as a couple. So. Frickin. Adorable!
February 23, 2012 at 10:28 amMartina! feel better! I think I have a mild sprain on my ankle since it hurts to walk on it, lucky fr me I’m on my week VK so I don’t have to walk around to much!! and please be careful!
February 23, 2012 at 10:26 amBe very careful, Martina! I broke my ankle in August & developed 2 blood clots in my leg. If you start to feel any pain not in the ankle, be sure to check it out! I am sure you won’t have any problems, but be careful! FEEL BETTER SOON!
February 23, 2012 at 10:23 amPoor Martina! I actually injured my right ankle in a very similar way. When I was young(er) I had (and still do) a bad habit of staying up late being bored so I was doing jumping jacks at about 1:00 in the morning in my bedroom and my ankle went out from under me.
Trust me, use the crutches and stay off that foot. I couldn’t take the crutches and now I have ankle issues.
Anyway, feel better and let Simon baby you while you have the chance.
February 23, 2012 at 10:21 amThis would be the perfect time to catch up on your K-dramas!!! Get well soon, Martina!!!
February 23, 2012 at 10:11 amAgreed! KDramas! I am off of work for 2 months due to surgery, and KDramas are my LIFE!! I suggest “49 Days” for sure!
February 23, 2012 at 10:29 am“Wild Romance” is also an awesome drama you should watch!!! the last ep is tmrw SO EXCITED!!!!!!
February 23, 2012 at 12:27 pmI recommend Operation Proposal! :D
February 23, 2012 at 2:09 pmAwww Martina! Poor baby, feel better! I gotta say, that’s a pretty cool way to hurt yourself…
February 23, 2012 at 9:21 amWe, as all might Simon, Martina, and Spudgy fans, pledge to cheer you guys up :D
poor martina. been there. done that. when i was 16 i was hit by a car and both my feet were broken. fun times.
February 23, 2012 at 9:15 amThat really suck!! Hopefully you had insurance :)
February 23, 2012 at 9:45 amSounds like a Music video!
February 23, 2012 at 11:47 amJYJ In Heaven?
FT Island Severely?
Scent of a Woman when she crossed the street and he TOTALLY SAVED HER?
hmmmm.
Oh no! Crowded dance floors are dangerous! One of my teachers broke her ankle while dancing. She wasn’t wearing heels, either. (Then again, this happened about a month after she got her cast removed for… breaking that same ankle.) No sir, the dance floor is not a friend to ankles.
Anyway, I really hope your ankle heals soon! (But in the meantime? MILK IT FOR ALL IT’S WORTH XD)
February 23, 2012 at 9:07 amThings you can do while immobile:
February 23, 2012 at 9:01 am1) Call all your dear ones and have a nice long chat
2) If you run out of people you know, call random strangers and ask them how their refrigerator is doing
3) Create a list of all the things you could have done if you could walk, then just sit back and relax because your husband has to do them now
4) Think of ways to make your apartment ankle-twist free
MARTINA! My nurse gave me some good advice for crutches when I had knee surgery. First, don’t press them against your armpits because you can damage your nerves there. Instead, pretend your an olympian and use your arm muscles to hold yourself up a couple inches above the top of the crutch!
February 23, 2012 at 8:51 amGet well soon Martina! I’ve broken my foot before, and it’s definitely super lame.
February 23, 2012 at 8:46 amThis episode of WANK was so sweet, thank you guys for making it!
I’m looking forward to the FAPing! >_< Maybe you could do an episode about your favorite jajangmyeon?
Fighting! <3
get well soon martina! too bad we can’t see you do your happy dance when BB’s Blue gets it to Music Mondays…
February 23, 2012 at 8:37 amWhen I had knee surgery and was on crutches for 3 months i wrapped faceclothes (and taped) then around the armpit things on the crutches, it made me not get the bruises from them… This is not reccommended for the hand bars, because the cloth can turn and make you lose balance.
February 23, 2012 at 8:28 amHope your on both feet again soon, feel better.
Get better soon Martina! Make sure you get lots of rest!
February 23, 2012 at 8:28 amAWWWWW. I had major sad face while watching this. Totally been there! I was on crutches for a month and a half before high school started. It is rough!!! I must suggest you take this time to watch dramas out the wazoo!!! (I’m currently watching “Protect the Boss”. It’s lol-tastic. :D
February 23, 2012 at 8:25 amI hope you get better quickly, Martina! Thanks for all the fun and laughter you’ve brought us. :)
February 23, 2012 at 8:20 amFeel better Martina!!! im praying for you to recover :D
Fighting!!!
February 23, 2012 at 8:12 amI’m really sorry Martina hurt her ankle. I did something like that several years ago. I was playing volleyball in a gym with some people and I jumped up. When I came down, I came down on the side of my foot somehow and rolled. I heard a pop, but later we found out it wasn’t broken. I don’t know what the pop was, but I had crutches for three weeks.
Meanwhile, I’ve heard Korean hospitals are really great and efficient. My friend gave birth in Korea two years ago and she said the hospital where she had her baby was excellent and they treated her really well and took great care of her.
February 23, 2012 at 8:07 amis it wrong of me to find it hawt when simon gets all mushy and kissykissy??
i need a mushykissykissy like simon!! **is jealous** :D
*ahem* anyways, martina, i fully understand about the bruising under your arms and on your hands!! i recommend covering the crutches with some foam and material….pad them up! that really helps, believe me!! tho don’t actually rest right under your armpits with the tops of the crutches, apparently putting all that pressure on them isn’t good. you’re more supposed to support the crutches on the sides of your torso (like, just under the pit area) and carry most of your weight on your arms…tho the bruising REALLY DOESN’T HELP!! get a rolly chair for moving around at home!!
anyways, get simon to find some cute materials (a t-shirt/baby clothes would be perfect) and foam and decorate those crutches into FLUFFY AND PUFFY!! ^_^
heal up quick!! ♥
ps. the spudgy is the adorablest!! just sayin’!
February 23, 2012 at 8:02 amI second that!!! Foam your crutches and it will get much better!!
February 23, 2012 at 9:21 amHope you get better soon!!
have a quick recovery Martina ^_^ hugs
February 23, 2012 at 7:58 amMartina pipm this chair like Minho here
February 23, 2012 at 7:34 amhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZC2nFxaPrs :)
and take care! :)
oh no!
Hope you feel better soon, Martina! And maybe you will have super healing powers and will be healed in 2 weeks! YAY!
Now you have loads of time to ogle T.O.P.!
February 23, 2012 at 7:23 amOh noes! Martina! You must be careful! T.T Making all of us worry! :P Although it was nice to wake up this morning and find there are other people in the world having pitty parties, because I definitally have been too >.< Ever had your wisdom teeth out? YEAH NO FUN! So I understand that your going through pain because I am too ^^ But your armpits shouldn't hurt so much…. try a different technique for hobbling around and see if that helps… best of luck!
February 23, 2012 at 7:13 amAw D: I’m really sorry about your ankle Martina! I hope you get better and it heals well soon <3
February 23, 2012 at 6:57 amhope you get better martina! at least you get to play crutch wars with your crutches and other various fun things with crutches.. (slightly wanting a pair of crutches now ;P).
February 23, 2012 at 6:56 amdon’t trip over spudgy and roll your other ankle!
Get better Martina. Feel so sorry for you…Simon, leave her alone, spoil the injured wife! LOL!.
February 23, 2012 at 6:55 amAwwww hope she’s OK. Get better soon Martina.
February 23, 2012 at 6:49 amwe all hope you get better martina
February 23, 2012 at 6:29 amFeel better Martina!! I love how you sang 아파~
February 23, 2012 at 6:24 amI know it’s a way off, but be careful about your other leg. I once broke my ankle, and shortly after getting off crutches/getting the cast off, I blew out my knee on the other leg because I had been over-compensating on that side.
February 23, 2012 at 6:02 amOMG I KNOW! I already have bad knees and my left knee is killing me taking all the weight. (I dislocated one knee in Karate…so much physiotherapy…and then 4 years later, dislocated my kneecap in field hockey). Dislocations are the WORST.
February 23, 2012 at 1:18 pmYikes. You might want to invest in a knee brace if you don’t have one with you ): Might help a little.
February 23, 2012 at 7:30 pmWhen you are using crutches, they are to be a palm width from your armpit, 2-3 inches to the left and right away from your feet and 2-3 inches in front of you. Crutches are not for carrying all you weight, but to take the weight off of you legs, so use some of your upper body strength………………….GET WELL SOON MARTINA, have fun treating Simon like a slave………………..love slave…………..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
February 23, 2012 at 5:49 amI’m sorry for your lose of mobility Martina! I think you shouldn’t give up on dancing with crutches though, this guy sure didn’t:

Ah Martina you poor thing!!! Stir-crazy is possibly the worst kind of crazy :( I really hope you recover soon (completely) and don’t have to spend any more cash on hospitals either, worst feeling evar seeing your paycheck buy cold medicine or some rubbish!! But, I totally love how Spudgy is just gnawing on some pigs ear or something at the end of the video, haha. Obliviously happy. Take care guys, and hopefully your fans will understand if you need to take a proper break and not do a vid for a while?
February 23, 2012 at 5:39 amI’m sorry you can’t WANK together, but I’m glad you’ve decided to FAP. That’s the can-do spirit I’ve come to expect from my favorite Canadians.
February 23, 2012 at 5:32 amMartina get well soon and take care! :D
February 23, 2012 at 5:16 amOh God no bloopers? really? ….
February 23, 2012 at 5:08 amok Just kidding here ^^
Martina! please rest a lot! I had a similar story (I kind of went downhill) so I understand the pain you are going trough by not being able to move so much! but don’t worry I’ll become a funny story to tell later :)
Simon: good job in taking care of your princess :) Like a Man!!!
And guys don’t worry about the new F.A.P. section, I think everyone will LOVE IT (by the way, what a name!! if you know what I mean!!)
Awww hope you get better soon!!! *oober hugs*
February 23, 2012 at 4:51 amSome advice about the crutches, get some gauze or soft material (or something with foam or padding) and wrap it over the armpit and handle parts of the crutches to soften them. Also, I know this is silly, but make sure you’re using them properly, there’s an actual way to use them.
February 23, 2012 at 4:43 amGet better Martina! I understand what you’re going through though. I broke my leg six weeks ago. I went stir crazy about 4 weeks ago. It’s an interesting experience. At least Big Bang came out with the perfect song to serenade you while you’re down. If you have time, you could film more ‘Open the Happy’ videos! I like your makeup ones. ^_^ Get better!
February 23, 2012 at 4:37 amToo bad we won’t see Martina jumping to cheer for TOP. Anyway, get well soon Martina!
BTW, if Bigbang is really going to release 6 MVs, I’m ready to vote for them until I get 6 MVs on Music Mondays!!! lol
February 23, 2012 at 4:33 amand get better martina~ and i’m so excited for the food segment :O !!!! :D
February 23, 2012 at 4:13 amAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA F.a.p…… u guise know what that means…. right?
February 23, 2012 at 4:11 amGet better soon, Martina.
February 23, 2012 at 4:06 amTake your time when you’re WANKing off. :3
340,000 won?!
Holy crap! That’s cheap in comparison to the U.S.
Which would explain why I always would go to Mexico for quick medical services…or the SAME medication at a CHEAPER price…
Anyway, feel better soon Martina. Some warm food, your loving husband by your side, and some sweet new Big Bang tunes should get you up in no time.
Fighting!
February 23, 2012 at 3:55 amoh no! Feel better! Soon you’ll be back to feeling better and skipping around to Be My Baby :) I sprained my ankle a few months ago and it’s just now feeling better. I felt like Forest Gump when I was able to walk again~ haha
Oh and as for the organized dance, I feel that way at big parties when the electric slide or cupid shuffle come on :)
February 23, 2012 at 3:47 amAww poor Martina! Get better soon :D
February 23, 2012 at 3:45 amLess WANKing, more reviewing? :-) :-) :-) You’ll need time at home to review all the Big Bang MVs… And someone in the comments of Blue mentionned the idea of a Big Bang Music Wenesday! :-) :-) :-)
February 23, 2012 at 3:23 amGet well soon Martina! And enjoy your Dothraki man slave!
be healthy martina! can you do a happy dance chair?? just a little, we want to see your happiness ’cause Big Bang will ( already) win the Kpop Music Mondays??
February 23, 2012 at 3:22 amsorry to hear that. hope you get well soon martina
February 23, 2012 at 3:13 amIt’ll be okay Martina! <3
I fell down the stairs last week, ASDFGHJKL THESE ARE ALL SIGNS OF THE APOCALYPSE.
/bricked/
No but really, get well soon ^^ <3
February 23, 2012 at 3:07 amSimon you better spin Martina in a chair or something for music mondays to show her “happy dance” that BIG BANG is back.
February 23, 2012 at 2:34 amoh Martina.. please get well soon :) I had a knee surgery not too long ago, and just started to walk without the crutches two weeks ago, so I know how nasty those things are.
Simon…. yeah you already know you’re nice XD
February 23, 2012 at 2:27 amSorry to hear about your bruised armpits and ankle! Hope you have a speedy recovery Martina! :) Major props to you guys for staying chipper and posting a WANK this week. Can’t wait to FAP next week. :3
February 23, 2012 at 2:24 amHeal up soon! ; _; <3
February 23, 2012 at 2:24 amOh, no! I hope you get better soon!! I have been on crutches twice for the same thing. We are now in Ulsan. I would send my children to come cheer you up, but my two year old would think the crutches were toys…..like lightsabers! Yikes! Thanks, Simon, for being such a great husband!
February 23, 2012 at 2:18 amYou two are adorable!!!! So lovely!!! (~￣▽￣)~♥
February 23, 2012 at 2:12 amI’m so sorry about Martina’s ankle but she is in Simon’s good hands!!!
Take care of the injury ;3
Hugs, kisses and greetings from Mexico (≧з≦)ノ~~❤❤
I certainly hope you are feeling better soon Martina.
In the interest of helping to cheer you up, I went to do a google image search for the phrase “bunnies are puffy” and I LOL’d hardcore at the first page of results. We have the obligatory puffy bunnies, but then there are two pictures of B.A.P. and … ONE OF T.O.P! :DDD
Here is the link, enjoy!

February 23, 2012 at 2:10 amHope you get better, Martina~
Ohhh someone should have filmed Martina falling and we would have a great bloopers video hahaha just kidding ^^
Martina singing: IIII lost my miiind when I rolled on the floor (8)
February 23, 2012 at 2:07 amPerhaps you might want to sing to your blues now Martina~ :P
February 23, 2012 at 2:03 amI’m singing my bluuuu~~uuuu~~~uuuesss~~!
Ouchh that swollen ankle looked pretty terrible. I hope you feel better soon!! On the bright side, at least Blue is a mellow-y type song, so it won’t make you feel like dancing madly about?
February 23, 2012 at 1:56 amOh dears, the things you do in the name of entertainment, hehe. Hope you get better Martina. I wish could sign or doodle something on your cast. : P
February 23, 2012 at 1:55 amJust admit is you saw TOP and went into insta-fangirl mode….and when Simon tried to stop you…you kicked him. *nods* this is the real truth!! KEKE!!
Seriously though, get plenty of rest and be sure you stay off of that ankle. That is never any fun! I have been there! Simon be sure you take care of Martina!! ^_^ ///Love you guys///
February 23, 2012 at 1:47 amMartina!!! I’m so sorry about your ankle!!!! Feel better soon!! I’m glad it wasn’t anything too serious!!! <3 Don't over exert yourself!!
February 23, 2012 at 1:46 amSimon, you are a wonderful hubby!!! WHY NO GUYS BE LIKE YOU??!!!!! D':
much love!!! <3 <3 <3
Get well soon Martina! You guys are so cute.
February 23, 2012 at 1:46 amGet well Martina :)
February 23, 2012 at 1:45 ami really hope you get better soon! i am always here to give you lots of thanks and love. thank you thank you guys always for making me aware that i am korean! :)
February 23, 2012 at 1:44 amAwww, poor Martina D: *pats foot* Get better real fast so Martina can dance again!
February 23, 2012 at 1:44 amI’m really looking forward to the FAP series! I like cooking, but getting a bit tired of ordinary Swedish things, and because of you I have started to look into Korean food, hence these food-oriented adventures will be awesome!
I also found a simple recipe for japchae recently, which I’m planning on trying sometime ^^ Have you learnt to make any Korean dishes yourselves btw? Or do you mostly eat out? =P
I remember just pretending to use crutches for like 3 minutes and my armpits felt like someone just rammed a baseball bat into them. Poor armpits! Anyway, get well soon Martina!
February 23, 2012 at 1:42 amAw Martina, get better soon. At least, like you said, there is no super awesome deadly street ice outdoors like the one that injured (but didn’t thankfully break) my knee.
Psst: It actually was the spot that was supposed to have no ice, dry wonderful cobblestone, and I, clumsy as I am, walked on the tinyest spot that had ice on, slipped and attracted a whole street of attention. *embarrased*
February 23, 2012 at 1:42 amExtra super-special TLDR bonus episodes? is my second favorite segment after WANK segment :d <3 ? Glad that the hospital didn't cost you an arm and a leg. and an ankle.
February 23, 2012 at 1:41 amMartina get well soon. And Simon,he’s very sweet.
:D
February 23, 2012 at 1:37 amGet well soon,be positive and please take care ))
February 23, 2012 at 1:36 amMartina! I found something that might cheer you up!
A nearly-TOPless-TOP :D
February 23, 2012 at 1:35 amThat’s an awesome picture…but GD looks a bit creepy with that length of hair.
February 23, 2012 at 1:21 pmAww….get well soon Martina. *hugs*
February 23, 2012 at 1:34 amGet well soon Martina! <3
February 23, 2012 at 1:33 amand lol, loving the new name, Fapfap haha XD
DDay with Brian and Whiney always ends up in trouble! get better soon!
February 23, 2012 at 1:32 amI’m sure you guys can make the best of a bad situation :)
February 23, 2012 at 1:32 amFeel better soon, Martina! <3 Simon, you are a husband other husbands should look up to! ^^
February 23, 2012 at 1:30 amtake care!!! I mean I’m the good example of those things have to be well recover u_u I mean after 4 months I’m still bad, so take care!! you guys make me happy with your videos now that my life has become nothing,’cause I can’t work :( take care!! the most important thing is health :)
February 23, 2012 at 1:26 amok so dose that mean your actual Korean citizens? or if your on a visa for travel wouldn’t you have travel insurance? or a working visa? lol i don’t know, i feel sad for you Martina its never fun being in a cast! i think with the many times Martina goes to the hospital you guys should get insurance! iv never broke anything but sprained my ankle. i fell down a hill, we were supposed to go sledding i decided not to use a sled against my will. doc said it had so much scar tissue it would have been better if i broke it
February 23, 2012 at 1:26 amno. people on Korean visas can have regular medical insurance that all Korean citizens have.. (just like how people holding work/student visas in Canada has almost the same medical priveliges as Canadian citizens)
February 23, 2012 at 9:31 amok, sounds legit. i was just wondering because i plan on teaching In Korea after I’m done uni so its a good thing to know
February 24, 2012 at 9:52 amXD AHAHAH! Oh my gosh!!! That sounds like something i did!!! Only i wasn’t drinking. My friend and i were having fun (i was wearing my new black pumps) and got just a little carried away when our song came on. Long story short i rolled my ankle but didn’t break it! I know that hurts a lot, so get better soon Martina! Who knows! Maybe T.O.P will see this video and come bring you a balloon! :P
February 23, 2012 at 1:25 amHope you get better…and if you’re in a chair, may i suggest the sexy Butt chair that TOP used in the Knock Out mv…
February 23, 2012 at 1:24 amGet well soon, Martina!!! <3
February 23, 2012 at 1:23 amAt least you can have some big bang comeback to cheer you up ^.^ I’ve never broken anything so i can’t really sympathize.. But I hope it isnt a break and so gets better faster so you can not be stir crazy! and can be awesome on your feet! instead of just in a sexy chair >.<
February 23, 2012 at 1:20 amI hope you feel better! We love you. :DD
February 23, 2012 at 1:19 amI send my well-wishes, Martina!
February 23, 2012 at 1:17 amAnd to Simon, go and be her Khal in shining Dothraki man-armor.
OMG… I broke my foot dancing too!!! I was really embarrassed after too. I could go around saying ‘Yeah, I broke my foot wrestling a Bear’ or ‘Yeah I round housed kicked a guys face so hard it broke my foot.’ but no…. I have to say ‘Yeah it was totally cool the way I broke my foot…I was ..mmmmm. Dancing..’
February 23, 2012 at 1:15 amCrutches do hurt. I was on them for a week after I sprained my ankle playing soccer, and believe me I was glad when they were gone. Good luck with your recovery. (and don’t worry eventually your body will adjust to the evil crutches of doom)
February 23, 2012 at 1:12 amAww… get well soon, Martina!
February 23, 2012 at 1:11 amget well soon martina :)
February 23, 2012 at 1:06 amI severely broke my ankle last year. It sucked. I slipped getting off the bus and whacked it hard on the bottom rung of the stairs. Wet bus floors still freak me out. It caused me to miss the last three weeks of Fall quarter. Hopefully, you won’t need to have surgery like I did.
February 23, 2012 at 1:03 amAlso, I have some advice about the crutches. I was told by a nurse that there is a right way to use crutches and a wrong way. The wrong way causes you armpits to be sore. The right way does not. And since my armpits didn’t hurt the entire time I used crutches all of the four months I used them (I had a long recovery time), I’ll assume I was doing it the right way. So I was told to put the crutches not directly under my armpits, but a little below them. And you kind of swing to forward (very similar to the movement when you’re between two tables, and you put all you weight on the table to swing back and forth). It’s a little difficult to explain… but hopefully it helps.
wow! get well soon, post up some club videos of that place you busted you ankle in :)
February 23, 2012 at 1:02 amMartina, you are still the best!! I’m anticipating to see you sitting on a sexy chair ;D
February 23, 2012 at 1:02 amGreetings from Finland!!!
Get better soon!! <3
Oh Martina, you must have had a lot of fun in somewhere ;)
Happy to hear that it’s not that serious though. Please be careful. And hope you get better soon!
Fighting!(”cheer up’ in Korean)
-Chloe from Korea.
February 23, 2012 at 1:01 amGet well soon Martina! <3 Simon is really a good husband! :)
February 23, 2012 at 1:00 amAw Martina I am so sorry that blows! Although I have to say from my time there, that the Korean Doctors were always super nice to me. I had a friend take me once when my son had a cold and we were in an out very quickly which surprised me. That includes getting the antibiotics that my son thought was delicious. Side note: where on earth can I get Taeyang socks?!! I love awesome socks and miss all the super cool ones they have in Korea.
February 23, 2012 at 12:59 amIt looks like there’s a bit of a crackdown on Kpop socks. They used to be sold everywhere. Now, they’re barely around. Maybe because it’s illegal to sell them? I don’t know.
February 23, 2012 at 1:30 amGet well soon, Martina!
February 23, 2012 at 12:58 amOooh NO!
February 23, 2012 at 12:55 amSorry bout your ankle Martina, but I’m extra sad since I was expecting you to jump around in snow again while reviewing BLUE!! :(
But here’s a thought, why don’t you ask your Man-Slave to do your happy dance instead??.
Kkkkk!
oh dear! get well soon Martina! I’m sure you can pull off some funky chair dance moves for us on the chair for the next few Music Mondays!! :p
February 23, 2012 at 12:54 amohh.. so nasty!
February 23, 2012 at 12:52 amaww. Martina get well soon!
February 23, 2012 at 12:51 amGet well soon Martina and now you can order Simon around to do stuff for you cause you’re injured XD
February 23, 2012 at 12:50 amOh, Martina! Please, take your time and get well! Good thoughts from Brazil
February 23, 2012 at 12:48 amI never had my ankle broken tbh O_O and I do something like martina’s dancing when I am running up steps and my ankle heals pretty fast XD
February 23, 2012 at 12:46 amGet better Martina! WE LOVE YOUU <3 a big kiss from Amsterdam <3
February 23, 2012 at 12:45 amI laughed out loud at the toenail painting. Nice “Ridin Dirty” rendition too, Simon!
F.A.P F.A.P?! Seriously? LMFAO
February 23, 2012 at 12:45 amWe were thinking of calling it Fapfapfap. Had to tone it down a bit…
February 23, 2012 at 12:58 amaww, Martina! Here’s to a speedy recovery~
February 23, 2012 at 12:45 am
