Turns out American actress Emma Stone is no different from us when it comes to K-pop infatuation.
On the late-night talk show "Conan" aired Tuesday, the "Amazing Spider-Man" heroine confessed she is "obsessed" with Korean pop music.
"It's a global phenomenon so I'm sure everyone already knows what this is," she tells Conan O'Brien, the host. "It's beyond excellent. It's the best thing you've ever seen."
The 26-year-old apparently wasn't the only one sharing this sentiment in the room, drawing cheers and applause from the audience.
"When we did the 'Spider Man' premiere in Seoul, Korea, we were on stage with the band 2NE1," she says of her favorite band, adding that her favorite 2NE1 track is "I Am the Best."
"I feel like I've been singing that song for years in the mirror," O'Brien says before showing a clip of its music video on screen.
