When in Korea, it's best to have a guide who really knows the country. Fortunately, I have such a friend. Steven Yeun, we've been naked together, and as close as two men can be. Yeah. I'm excited to show you the country. Maybe... (speaking in Korean) (audience laughs) They're thrilled we're here, just thrilled. Let's go. (Korean instrumental music) Oh my god. Oh my god, oh my god. (yelling) Nooo! No! Hold on. No, why did it do that? It let it go on purpose. Hold on, we got another one.
Why? Why?
Come on, come on. No! No!
(thumping) Yeah! (audience cheering) Yaaay. I am now about to enjoy a traditional Korean meal. Steven, can you tell me what these dishes are? Um, yes. You don't seem to know. Do you know what this is? What's that for example? I mean, I've seen it, that's uh... Seriously, you have no idea? So it looks like rice. Yeah? (uncertain groan) You're my cultural ambassador. What are you doing?
I just eat it. No, listen I'm Irish-- That's potato salad. Yes, I know potato salad.
Yeah, that's good. This was a Jewish delicatessen about 15 minutes ago. Those look like pancakes of some kind. Yes, yes, Korean pancakes, pajeon. Pajeon? Yup, has whatever my mom puts in it, I dunno. I just eat it. And then that is... Fish cakes? Why'd your voice get so high? Uncertainty. (laughter) Is this a soup? This is kimchi gungmul, or byul kimchi, or one of those things, which is essentially kimchi water. Right. You're sort of like Anthony Bourdain, if he knew absolutely nothing. This is
you. I believe this a spoon of some? Maybe a spoon, maybe a fork? It could be a knife? Okay, let's not talk about the food you know nothing about. We will eat the food he knows nothing about. Try like this. Oh, with spoon. No that's... not how you use... Don't I have to use... No, you can use your hand. This is counter-intuitive to most... You sort of... (slurping) (audience cheering) You lose, I win. Our ways are different, but who's to say which one is better? Me.
Yeah, that's a better way.

They spent 65 dollars on a crane machine. That is determination.
"Whatever my mom puts in it" haha Steven is a cutie
2021: He's nominated for best actor
"why did your voice get high?" "um...uncertainty"
These two need their own comedy series
I applaud Steven's ability to keep a straight face through all this.
"Has some... whatever my mom puts in that... i just eat it." Says all of us
"i just eat it" best way to tourism honestly
"whatever my mom puts in there" Lmao
the chemistry between Conan and Stephen is something special
Conan's hilarity aside, Steven Yeun is a national treasure. I want him to be my ambassador on any and all trips I take. I love him so much!
Alright they gotta give Conan a voicing role in Invincible like I would love to see his given character’s interaction with Mark
Lol this is totally me. If you're Asian but born in America bc ur parents immigrated here, u probably grew up just eating the food without really asking what's in it. I do the same when my friends eat Filipino food with me
Conan and Steven just need to have a regular segment where they go out in general. They have such a great on screen chemistry.
"You're kind of like Anthony Bourdain if he knew absolutely nothing" lmaooo that line got me
Conan the only guy that don't go around parading diversity but actually has a diverse guest on his show. Walk > Talk for this man. Respect.
WHY IS THIS VIDEO SO SHORT???
Seriously? that's it?! come on Conan, WE WANT MORE!
I love how happy the little girl looks holding the stuffed animal they gave her. 🤗
Conan and Steven's Korean journey is still one of the greatest comedic gifts to this world.
