Titled, In The SOOP: Friendship Trip, it will show the Wooga Squad members taking a fun and healing trip together for four days. The four-episode program will premiere in July via JTBC and Weverse and will also be released on a global OTT platform.
The previous editions of In The SOOP starred HYBE artists BTS for two seasons and SEVENTEEN for one season.
BTS’ V and Wooga Squad’s friendship goes a long way
BTS V’s friendship with his fellow Wooga Squad members - actors Park Seo-joon, Park Hyung-sik, Choi Woo-sik, and Peakboy goes a long way back. V first became friends with actors Park Seo-joon and Park Hyung-sik while filming KBS2’s Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth.
Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth revolves around an elite group of young men known as ‘Hwarang’ who undergo feelings of love, friendship, passion, and turmoil while in the Silla Kingdom. The series aired from December 2016 to February 2017.
Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth also marked BTS V’s acting debut. While the series may not have charted high in terms of ratings, it introduced V to two of his best friends for life - his Hwarang Hyungs (older brothers), Park Seo-joon, and Park Hyung-sik.
The talented actors instantly doted over BTS’ V and introduced him to their other best friends Choi Woo-sik and singer Peakboy, and this is how they came to be known as the Wooga Squad.
It is heartwarming to see the Wooga Squad members maintain such close friendship and brotherhood for all these years, and now, they are all set to star in their reality show.
From taking trips together to supporting each other in their respective careers and hyping one another on public forums, Wooga Squad members are squad goals.
