15 Reasons Why Conan O'Brien Has So Many Fan Girls In South Korea

Why is this fifty-something American talk show host so popular in Korea like an idol?

A few weeks ago, during his show, Conan O'brien revealed that the show will tape a special episode in Seoul all thanks to a letter and some Korean snacks sent to him by a fan, who is a high school student in Korea. It was a surprise.

No one was sure what was going to happen to him in Korea.

And look at all those people waiting for him to arrive at the Incheon airport.

Who would've guessed he had so many fan girls in Korea?

Let's find out why.

1. It all started with this. A video of him visiting a Korean spa(Jjimjilbang) in LA with Korean-American actor Steven Yeun went viral in Korea through Facebook, and he became famous in Korea over night. (You can watch it after finishing this list!)

2. He knows trends and loves to communicate with his fans. The first thing he did in Korea was to join Kakao, which is the no.1 mobile Instant messaging service in Korea.

2. He got the cutest pet octopus. His name is Samuel.

3. He knows how to make Samuel happy.

4. And he knows when and how to say good bye.

5. He knows how to win kids' love as well.

6. These two guys make the cutest bromance ever. And who knew Conan could write in Korean?! (Even though we all know that it was Steven who wrote them. Oh well.)

8. He's a Taekwondo master.

9. Well, if not, at least he can hold tight Jordan.

11. Or at least he's curious about immovable soldier.

12. He walks on the street wearing a cap with his Korean name on it... and nails a selfie.

13. He generously lets his fans touch his hair.

14. He can even act in Korean.

The outcome is here. (Cringe alert!)
