American comedian and TV host Conan O’Brien features in the

music video of K-pop star Park Jin-young’s new song “Fire.”

The video for the 1980s-style funk-rock number was released Saturday by the JYP Entertainment CEO before the song’s release Sunday.

The video also features Korean-American actor Steven Yeun and JYP artists Wonder Girls and Twice. The entertainment agency’s singer Park Ji-min, who won the SBS show “K-pop Star Season 1,” features in the track’s audio.

The music video was made in February when O’Brien visited Korea for a week. During the visit, the star posted an Instagram photo that showed him with those who appeared in the video.

“@SteveYeun and I got to sing on a brand new track by K-pop King @Asiansoul_JYP,” he wrote. “Get ready, #Korea!”

The comedian’s YouTube channel, “Team Coco,” also posted the video on Saturday, local time.

“Conan and Steven team up with J.Y. Park and a pack of K-pop superstars including the Wonder Girls and TWICE for ‘Fire’,” the post said.

Park also released on Saturday a music video for another new song, “Still Alive.”
