Inside Wooga squad: From co-stars to chosen family

BTS vocalist V stepped into acting through the 2016 historical series Hwarang, where he first connected with actors Park Seo-joon and Park Hyung-sik. The trio developed a strong rapport on set, which later extended into a five-member circle now commonly referred to as the “Wooga Squad.”

Their crew title “Wooga” originates from the Korean phrase “Woori-ga Gajok-inka?," translating to “Are we relatives?”, reflecting their close companionship. Park Seo-joon eventually introduced his acting colleagues to Choi Woo-shik and rapper Peakboy.

In 2022, all five members featured in the Disney+ unscripted program In the Soop: Friendcation, which followed their four-day leisure trip to Goseong. The series showcased their daily interactions and long-standing association off the set.


Meanwhile, after the discharge, BTS’ V hosted a separate livestream to engage with supporters. Viewers seemingly observed a noticeable difference in the artist's speech and reacted to his renewed confidence, as he appeared more calm and thoughtful during the stream. Many said that the 29-year-old came across as more introspective following military service.
