The billiard hall is located in front of Korea University and has been in operation since it opened in 1967. It was once close to closing down due to economic difficulties, but as of 2016, it was acquired by the owner and is maintaining its reputation. Haksa billiard hall is a space for students of Korea University, full of memories of their school days. Many alumni of Korea University still visit billiard rooms because they remain the same even though everything else has changed. In many cases, it is still difficult to operate, but whenever that happens, alumni collect money together and say, "This must be here," and the owner runs billiard hall with gratitude and a sense of duty.
