On the episode of MBC's 'I Live Alone' aired on the 24th, the daily life of actor Yoo Soo-bin with his close friends IU and Lee Yeon was revealed.

Yoo Soo-bin appeared as a friend of Bae Nara in the 'Introducing Rainbow Friends' special. As a six-year veteran of living alone, he amused viewers by binge-watching 'Infinite Challenge' on his tablet PC while still in bed.

Yoo Soo-bin confessed his 'laziness' and showcased his 'Soo-bin House,' where he placed all necessary items within arm's reach. The efficient layout, with a treadmill next to the bed and supplements by the dining table, caught attention. His use of an apple cutter and brewing drip coffee in a pot brought laughter to the Rainbow members.

The episode also showed Yoo Soo-bin spending time with IU and Lee Yeon, whom he befriended through the drama '21st Century Grand Prince.' Yoo Soo-bin stated, "Although they are younger sisters with an age gap, they are like friends," and mentioned that they regularly meet to maintain their friendship.

The trio showcased their real-life friendship chemistry by playfully teasing each other upon meeting. They enjoyed a cherry blossom walk along the Han River, took photos, and created new memories with an impromptu workout session for the 'famous homebody' IU.

Yoo Soo-bin also guided them to his favorite restaurant, showing thoughtful care by serving food and explaining how to eat it to his friends and younger sisters, IU and Lee Yeon. The three continued their lively conversation and even engaged in a movie quiz competition during the meal.

Particularly touching was IU expressing gratitude to the two for attending her grandfather's recent funeral. IU shared, "You two were almost the only friends who came. I was moved by your immediate support," highlighting their strong friendship.

After sharing laughter and energy with his friends, Yoo Soo-bin reflected on his solitary life, saying, "Living alone is very lonely, but it's something I don't want to give up."
