Singer and actress Nam Gyu-ri attempted her first-ever billiards challenge on September 28, 2026, appearing on the YouTube channel ‘Lee Su-geun’. Despite her lack of experience and an outfit that amused her coach, Nam eventually succeeded in the mission after struggling with the actual execution.
Nam Gyu-ri arrived for the session wearing a dazzling lace skirt
, a choice that immediately drew the attention of her one-day coach, Lee Su-geun, according to The Chosun Daily.
Music Video Experience vs. Actual Play
While Nam lacked formal training, she surprised Lee with her initial form. According to Starnewskorea, Nam assumed a surprisingly familiar stance
the moment she held the cue stick, which she explained was the result of learning how to hold the equipment during a previous music video shoot. Lee expressed admiration for her posture, suggesting a gap between her aesthetic preparation and her actual skill level.
The transition from posture to performance proved difficult. Despite following Lee’s instructions and hitting the ball multiple times, Nam struggled to achieve the desired result. The difficulty of the task was evident enough that Lee remarked, This is harder than me playing billiards
, per Starnewskorea.
Mission Success and Solo Promotions
The tension of the challenge peaked when Nam cautiously asked Lee if he had become angry in response to his reactions. Lee defused the moment with a joke, and after further attempts, Nam successfully completed the mission. To celebrate the victory, Lee requested a performance of her new music.
Nam Gyu-ri sang “That’s How Our Love Goes” from her seat, concluding her first billiards challenge.
