Video: Conan And 'The Walking Dead' Star Get Naked At K-Town's Wi Spa
Conan O'Brien learned some painful lessons about the price we must pay for beauty. In a hilarious segment that aired on Conan last night, O'Brien and The Walking Dead's Steven Yeun go on a buddy trip over to Koreatown's Wi Spa to get their R&R on, but if anything, the talk show host looks mostly pained throughout the whole experience.
At this Korean spa (which LAist selected as one of our favorite spas in L.A.), the duo get naked together, jump into a scalding hot jacuzzi before they get into a freezing cold pool, belting out guttural screams each time. They bond with other Wi Spa guests, like a naked man who ends up rubbing O'Brien's chest in a sauna while Yeun looks away awkwardly. And then there's the full body scrub that O'Brien and Yeun will never forget, as they lay on massage tables covered with slippery pink sheets. O'Brien asks, "Is this where they do dolphin autopsies?"
Here's the video in all its glory:
