Talk show host Conan O’Brien is traveling through Korea having a K-pop fan’s dream adventure this week. A Korean fan recently sent him a letter and some Korean snacks, so he announced his plans to visit, saying “Here is my motto—and I want this to get out all around the world—if you send me free snacks from your country, I will travel there in person to thank you. That’s what I do.”
He arrived on February 14, along with his Clueless Gamer co-host Aaron Bleyaert, and was greeted by a huge crowd of excited fans.
I've landed in South Korea. I will never leave. #ConanKorea
