Conan O'Brien admits he's a "Grade A creep," and it appears as though that trait doesn't translate well in South Korea. While visiting the country for his show, O'Brien thought it would be a good idea to learn Korean, and in the process, gave his tutor, Jin Shil, the heebie jeebies. Over the course of their lesson, Jin told her student that she didn't like him, whacked him with her "love stick," and demanded that he stop smiling, moving his fingers, and acting "twisted." O'Brien clearly relished his role as an American oddball, and said if Jin had only looked him up before their meeting, she would have discovered that he's "famous for being weird." Watch the very odd — and amusing — video below. Catherine Garcia
