A story of friendship has been revealed, in which actors Park Hae-soo, Lim Cheol-soo, and Park Jae-yeon shared the financial burden while living together in the same house for eight years.

On the August 7 broadcast of KBS 2TV's 'Happy Together – Glad You're Not Alone,' the days when they lived together as roommates in a shared house in Suyu-dong were introduced.

On this day, Lim Cheol-soo recalled the time they lived together in a three-room house in Suyu-dong. He revealed that even though Park Hae-soo paid the largest deposit, they fairly assigned rooms through a game of rock-paper-scissors, and as a result, Park Hae-soo ended up using the smallest room. Park Hae-soo calmly reminisced about the time, saying, "It ended when you lay down. But it was still fine." It was reported that beyond being college alumni, these three have maintained a strong friendship over a long period through various connections, including as roommates and members of the same theater troupe.

In relation to this, Choi Seong-won drew laughter by sharing his own visiting episode, saying, "I only went when it was absolutely necessary. It was when we were grilling pork or playing games." Lim Cheol-soo mentioned the memory of eating king crab only on Christmas, recalling, "Those days were really great. After eating king crab, I thought we had made it, but we starved for the next week." He added, "The habit of splitting things into thirds still remains to this day. Hae-soo used to pay a little more."

Notably, Park Hae-soo has maintained his habit of splitting the bill without losing his original spirit, even after achieving great success with 'Squid Game' and other works. Choi Seong-won shared that even recently, after finishing a rehearsal, when the bill at the second round came to 58,000 won, Park Hae-soo suggested splitting the cost. Park Jae-yeon also emphasized Park Hae-soo's strict bill-splitting habit, saying, "If you don't send your share, you get a message the next day," which had everyone bursting into laughter.
