Comedian Lee Su-geun, well known for his love of billiards, has revealed the private billiards room he set up at his office in Gangnam, Seoul.

Lee showed off his office in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, on Sunday's episode of the SBS variety program My Little Old Boy.

The space was originally a billiards hall that Lee took over and had renovated into his personal office.

When singer Eun Ji-won, who visited the office, asked whether Lee had used his YouTube channel as an excuse to get the space, Lee pushed back. "It's too much to call it an excuse — this is Cheongdam-dong in Gangnam, and the monthly rent is no joke. It's in my name," he said.

"Everything I love doing is right here," Lee said with pride.

The office was equipped well enough to pass as a private billiards hall. A billiards table sat at the center of the room, while the walls were lined with high-end cues. Lee also uses the space to film billiards-focused content for his YouTube channel.

Pointing to each cue in turn, Lee boasted, "This one is 5 million won ($3,590), this one is 3 million won, this one is 2.5 million won." He also showed off a personalized cue engraved with his name, saying it was worth around 10 million won.

When Eun praised fellow comedian Shin Dong-yeop's billiards skills, Lee quipped, "In the celebrity billiards world, I'm Son Heung-min and Shin Dong-yeop is Cha Bum-kun — great in his day, but now retired."

The episode also featured a billiards match between Shin and Lee.
