Squid Game Star, Huh Sungtae shared an emotional story about his early struggles when he was relatively unknown in his career.

During his challenging times, he approached two friends for financial help. Huh asked them if they could lend him 300,000 KRW (roughly $300 USD), and the responses of these two friends varied significantly.

One of the friends responded with immense empathy and promptly agreed to provide half of the requested amount saying that was all he had. This friend's generosity deeply moved Huh Sungtae.

However, the other friend's reaction was quite the opposite. This individual remained silent and unresponsive to Huh's plea, refusing to help during his time of need.

Despite Huh Sungtae's desire to repay this second friend's indifference with kindness when he was in a better situation, he acknowledged the person's unwillingness to accept his help.

After becoming famous in the Squid Game starring biggest korean stars such as Lee Jung Jae, the friend who initially remained unresponsive reached out to Huh Sungtae later on.This friend invited Huh to attend their wedding and urged him to be a part of their social gathering. However, Huh declined the invitation, citing his prior experience with this friend's lack of support during difficult times.
