Conan's Korea trip is still one of my favorite episodes he has ever done. These two need to go back.

[@aerita7608]

Ikr...nd also renting family in Japan nd north korea border is my a time fav

[@wombflood]

My favorite kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqjJfWCLgK2CbZY

[@florete2310]

I second this motion✋

[@goodnightmunchie]

Imagine if he was black 🚬🤔

[@thegandolfos]

Same and yup to the Japanese family, too. And, of course, the Italy trip with Jordan was perfection.

[@FinancialShinanigan]

"You can't hurt me now, Mr. Lee. I've lost all feelings" lol

[@noah_noah_noah]

The battalions in the mountains, on the north side! You’ll never see them coming 😂😂😂

[@Zailen1]

Conan and Steven should do a show together. I would love to watch them just go places and goof around for 45 minutes an episode.

[@atKR1S]

They need to have a new guest every episode too. Would love to see Paul Rudd and Aubrey Plaza again cause they have the best chemistry with Conan as well

[@raimarulightning]

Nothing will ever compare to the pure joy on Steven Yeun's face as he spun around and shouted because Conan had won a claw game

[@saebelzahnseba]

"It has uhh... Whatever my mom puts in." Best food guide ever.

[@googelle7555]

Like Anthony Bourdain if he knew absolutely nothing ... 🤣🤣🤣

[@florete2310]

I love that scene at the monastery... there were those windchimes which drove Conan to the brink of utter madness - and Steven explained to the monk in Korean - quite dryly - that Conan has "a lot of issues"😂😂😂

[@mursuka80]

Conan in Korea and Japan was hilarious. That Japanese etiquette teacher was savage.

[@matthewlund7641]

Kkj

[@sheelacheong]

She is unforgettable 😆

[@sittingduck4602]

So was the Korean teacher.

[@user-3aa6234fh]

She played along very well, yeah, unexpectedly great sense of humor from an etiquette teacher. I just imagine people of such professions to be very stiff

[@Yootubeadventures]

The Korea spa episode is literally GOAT

[@Mijah-ff8ib]

Agreed!! That was the funniest episode for sure!! 😂😂😂

[@user-ob9pr1it4m]

그때 기억나요. 코난 온다고 인천공항에서 정말 많은 사람들이 환영해주러 나갔었죠. 한국에서 찍은 에피소드들 다 너무 재밌었어요. 한국에서 코난의 유머가 한국이랑 잘 맞아서 코난팬들이 많이 있어요. ❤️👍

[@lavatr8322]

Conan seriously needs a travel show.... I know it needs a lot of budget and planning and human hands...and country permissions and what not.

[@xixingpooh]

His trips abroad were always the best! I hope he expands “Conan Without Borders”

[@RelaxRelapse720]

I always figured that's what his HBO Max show was going to be.

[@mad_max21]

KZbinrs does this successfully and they don't need TV money to do it.

[@blueparkerprime]

you got your wish!

[@oliviaespiritu6698]

Oh boy do I have news for you

[@Salso97]

I rewatch those Conan in korea videos and laugh like it was my first time watching it. Please go again! 😂

[@ericakang]

This is so cool to hear as a Korean American. Over the past few years, I saw the popularity of Korean stuff growing, in dramas in the states and now everywhere with music, and of course food. I always wonder what someone with no Korean background sees in Koreans and this was so cool to hear Conan's perspective.

[@kaneda8422]

His Korean language lesson is an all time segment.

[@primadonna82]

These two have the best chemistry

[@whosmyk]

would love if they went back and visited some of the people they filmed with last trip. Conan revisits korea would be awesome

[@vincentlee9773]

Conan once again proves he’s a genuine genius at spotting talent and befriending them before they become huge stars.

[@princet131]

"Burning", "Minari", and "Nope" in the last 4 years is a great run, definitely one of my favorite actors right now.

[@atatur123]

Also "Sorry to Bother You" & "The Humans" which were fantastic.

[@saynotop2w]

Steven came a long way. When he first starred in Lost, his Korean was so bad that it became a meme on Korean side of the internet. Now, compared to those days, he speaks flawlessly in Minari. It’s not easy to master a language in adulthood, but he did it.

[@atatur123]

@@saynotop2w Steven wasn't in Lost. Are you sure you're not thinking of someone else?

[@ROYCEJR.]

Hello? Walking Dead? Glenn? Maggie's boyfriend?

[@princet131]

@@ROYCEJR. What's the Walking Dead and who is Glenn? Just kidding, of course everyone knows he played Glenn. It's like watching a Michael J Fox interview and commenting "He played Marty in Back to the Future you know!"

[@Kristenidas]

I still can't believe you guys did a MV with JYP, Twice, and Wonder Girls! The whole Korea series was amazing and hilarious.

[@ErsteNachname]

Conan’s assessment on South Korea’s social media being hyper sensitive is so very true. Not only on social media, but life and society in general. Very extreme.

[@tld7661]

Bc they highly value very superficial qualities that in their eyes are incredibly important to move up the ladder in Korea

[@HappB5]

It's toxic. Koreans also have the lowest digital literacy rate in the world meaning they can't tell apart whether something said on the internet is fake or not. They just believe any accusation thrown to them and eat it up like a braindead zombie mob, which is why hate spreads so quickly. I'm Korean myself and it's really disgusting to see this happen all the time to anyone.

[@TheWildSlayer]

I remember the original video. It was so much fun seeing you guys go around and experience something together. The temple segment was so funny to witness! XD

[@bluebear1985]

One part of that trip that was a bit scary was when they went to the DMZ. They actually got to go inside one of the conference room buildings that divide North and South Korea. It did look a little tense for a bit, but it's still worth a look.

[@toujoursunnerd]

The weather segment was worth its weight in pairs of aviator sunglasses.

[@marspark6351]

To be fair, it's actually a tourist destination so a ton of tourists visit there all the time

[@minister2965]

And Steven Yuen made literal histpry of having a weather report in north korea🤣

[@hyunwooshin9739]

제발 다시 한국에 와줘요 코난!

[@박경리-t5j]

I would watch Conan's trip to Korea whenever I want to laugh hard

[@KyokujiFGC]

Ranton, a former Shaolin disciple, commented on this before. He said that everywhere you go, people are people. Almost all the young monks he lived and trained with all had phones, watched streamers, played videogames, etc.

[@jennyvlds8471]

Please make another trip to Korea!! That would be so cool!

[@philipkiejs1572]

Rewatched the remote in Korea visiting the Buddhist temple just yesterday! What a timing. Love you guys podcast been following you since I was a young teen. Much love from Sweden!

[@im_a_hooman3599]

The monastery trip was really fun. Especially the iPhone and the android bit and the last part when they were playing around the snow.

[@skyroof1974]

I revisit the jimjilbang episode often after all these years. It is one of the funniest things ever done in comedy 😂

[@jackhackett80]

We all would love to see more complete versions of the international episodes! There has to be more footage!

[@tishw4576]

The Spa skit is a classic.

[@dj.Debbie]

Conan and Steven’ trip to Korea was one of my favorites! So much fun haha. If they visit Korea again, I can definitely guide them in an authentic way to look around here. ;)

[@itzumiv]

I miss "Conan without borders" so much!! please release another season, it was so funny

[@FunGamerClips]

I always click when it's Conan and Steven Yeun content! :)

[@kobe42085]

these two truly like and enjoy each other

[@retracevad1]

Love them both! Conan is one of the few that can properly mix funny and respectful. He’s hilarious and also so genuine. ❤

[@sameservy]

This is so awesome, what a wonderful conversation

[@OrangeAgent5]

No doubt I´m going to rewatch the trip now right away...

[@streetographer]

The spa was one of the funniest remotes for me too.

[@unklmonk651]

Next Netflix series should have Conan, Steven...and Yoo Jae Suk.

[@cellng]

That would be amazing!!!!

[@user-uc7zt8li1t]

That’s a great idea

[@jennyvlds8471]

Bruh what a epic line up!!!

[@OverdosedonOnew]

That sounds amazing!

[@renjunbao]

my jaw dropped imagining this .. someone needs to make this happen

[@itachi4alltime]

That North Korea soldier interaction by Conan was one of the most tense moments in my life

[@wystan6963]

I can still vividly remember that one second scene shifted over to the satellite disc with a gong sound effect right after Conan was asking whether the monk watched TV.

[@whereyoubean]

Conan! Collab with Korean Englishman for another awesome Korea experience!

[@Kitkat-wu3ow]

This duo is amazing! Can we vote with likes that Conan take Steven to Ireland! It would be so hilarious!

[@supertaufiqr]

These two makes a brilliant combo!

[@shredosaurus]

PLEASE start releasing full, filmed podcast episodes on KZbin!!!

[@pandorafox3944]

The Spa episode was hilarious. Poor Conan having to get naked. 🤣

[@brokenglassshimmerlikestar3407]

Poor cameraman had to record them hahahaha (I love Conan but ... he's better clothed)

[@user-tz9jh6pv2j]

What Steven talks about, any Asian American/westerner has had that same realization lol. I'm a backpacker, started backpacking when I was in college. First trip I did was with some friends to Thailand. They were all blonde white kids and I'm Asian. It was very very noticeable how they get HOUNDED by merchants while I was mostly ignored because they just assumed I was a tour guide. We also had very different experiences in Europe. I would get targeted by pickpockets and robbery (I got into so many physical fights) by gypsies and African migrants, while my white friends were largely left alone. When I went to report this stuff to the police, they would tell me how Asian tourists ARE in fact targeted at least 10x more and that I should be careful. It was very interesting to see how the rest of the world sees race.

[@FormerDeathMachine]

That’s really interesting! Did he say why Asian tourists are targeted more over there?

[@kay-dc8495]

Loved the original video. Its a unique place to visit for the good

[@elizabethlarson9655]

Absurdity follows Conan everywhere he goes. I love it.

[@cuearesty]

The Wi Spa remote is my FAVORITE. I go back to that clip almost every month or something. The SKor ep is also as hilarious. Never change.

[@sarahc9413]

I loved when he went to Korea with Steve 😂🤣 I still remember that monastery scene in the winter!

[@annieonyoutube]

I was teaching kids in korea and would show that video of Conan and Steven in Korea which delighted them

[@daylight_310]

That jjimjilbang ep was an absolute LEGEND

[@clarke6814]

steven and conan are the best combo!

[@soumyajitroy7943]

Please bring back Conan without borders...... I need it...mm

[@alevampira1780]

The spa episode made me cry laugh. I still look it up from time to time.

[@jspur22]

My grandpa was in the Korean war and when I was a kid he would sing something like "In Korea it's mighty cold and wet, and those discharge papers are mighty hard to get!"

[@lordrahl2345]

They got to be in a video with a very new TWICE. Love that song.

[@cakeisavegatable]

I love that Conan is the first to acknowledge and mock his own lack of information I wish more people were like him. “Yes I remember that in MASH”😂

[@brok513]

When Steven and Conan are together, it's always a hoot

[@sahityabk]

I feel like that remote at the spa was the start of a new style of remotes for conan. Idk that's just me

[@narusasu136]

i loved that Korea trip, these two make a great pair

[@jaydeegr333n]

okay real talk tho the wi spa video carried me through my grief when my dad passed away 🥲

[@jaekoh1514]

These two really had a good chemy. I ❤ em both dearly.

[@josakura]

I just love Steven x Conan duo! Can’t remember now how many times I’ve rewatched their remotes!! Rofl

[@lawbinson]

Steven is awesome

[@Putputputgim]

Please come back and live with us!

[@qg8253]

I search for Conana and Steven content. Always makes me laugh.

[@hitstickwear3189]

It's about bloody time you got steven on

[@smacdsmaccers]

am still looking for a full version of the Jimjilbang song

[@bloopjohnson]

I miss conan's show 😢😍😍

[@IceXiumin]

I've watched that episode a million times. So happy their talking about it

[@lachauntiswashington231]

That trip is one of my favorite 👍👍😂😂😂😂

[@nathanchong7731]

1:50 Conan immediately said yes 😂😂

[@ShnNar1000x]

I have to check this out. I loved Conan's trip to Japan, especially with the two women who were teaching him etiquette and insulting him at the same time.

[@besnick]

"I enjoy me being the joke" Now we know that Conan started doing those trips only to fuel his humiliation kink.

[@zoperxplex]

They are laughing with you not at you because you are that humorous.

[@pd4887]

Monastery part was my fave 😊

[@itskevinzerbe]

Conan epitomizes the Irish's uncanny ability to laugh at themselves.

[@sese6795]

Gosh I love those clips and I love conan’s humor.

[@BS-nt9oc]

Miss jimjilbangs so much….I’m rewatching that skit. After this

[@오늘은제가-b9v]

사랑해요 코난 #아이코난!

[@nathanchong7731]

1:59 so catching words 😂😂😂

[@jaaaaaa48]

we’re waiting for you 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷

[@ddvjbh]

I hope you do another sone with JYP. That "Fire" song was unironically fire. If you don't know, look it up, it's so good.

[@spinblackcircles]

Stevens hat is awesome. My favorite movie

[@eprohoda]

Team. s ocool ~🤩

[@raqeebrifkhan6870]

Gold

[@Jiyoon02]

"Eureka! It gets cold in Korea!" LMAO Amazing discovery, Conan. Amazing discovery Yes, it gets cold in Korea. We call it winter 🤣🤣 I love both of these men

[@cameronmorris7080]

This reminds me of seeing Tibetan monk teenagers in Dharamsala playing COD at the internet cafe!

[@stefanmarraccini8646]

Thanks folks. Now I'm dreaming of magical dol sot Bibimbap. The 50 bazillion Kelvin hot stone bowl really caramelizes the rice. NOM NOM

[@davidmckesey7119]

His Chinese fast food bit is hilarious

[@chronos13]

Please come back to Korea

[@stefanmarraccini8646]

The comedic possibilities of "stranger in a strange land" are infinite. All of the Conan on The Road stuff is LEGEND. No one is better than Conan at maintaining just enough boyish, "I wanna please this person" vibes balanced with the right amount of "can you believe how these people live?" insider barbs. My life long goal has been to push the chain yanking envelope to pitch perfection. And don't 'ya hate the "ooops. did I go too far, and really hurt someone's feelings?" thing? Talk about an introspective comedy c*** blocker. I cave ceaselessly to that bugger. And the world is a less funny place for it. And my therapy bills are INSANE. And we're just givin' the people what they want. Oy vey.

[@jjeongx]

Go back! #Cocokorea!

[@egons5625]

I love the chemistry 😂

[@Sam-qd8cj]

Huge Conan fan, but tbh after the talk show I was really hoping for a show were Conan traveles the world being a comedic good will ambassador. Every one of those Conan travel shows was pure gold. You're wasted on a podcast.

[@nathanchong7731]

1:49 Haha Steven is being honest

[@ryansizemore5064]

I miss Conan on TV. When is he on HBO?

[@trickyd499]

Conan always makes my day !
