BTS member V (Kim Taehyung) sent the internet into a joyful frenzy after sharing a fresh set of candid photographs from his recent Hawaii vacation with his closest friends, the beloved Wooga Squad. Posted on his official Instagram account on December 9, the pictures gave ARMY a rare, heartwarming glimpse into V’s off-duty life with Park Seo Joon, Choi Woo Shik, Park Hyung Sik, and Peakboy—a group known for their unbreakable bond and genuine friendship.
The photos capture the five friends in their most relaxed, carefree state. From splashing in the ocean and soaking in breathtaking sunsets to enjoying cozy meals and raising toasts, the album reflects pure joy and comfort. Their laughter-filled moments and natural ease highlight a brotherhood that has remained strong despite their busy careers and global fame. Fans immediately flooded the comments, calling the reunion “healing,” “pure,” and the ultimate example of “friendship goals.”
Actor Park Seo Joon had also shared snapshots from the same trip earlier, reinforcing how close the group remains despite their packed schedules and high-profile commitments. Many fans now consider the Hawaii photo dump one of the most wholesome celebrity friendship highlights of the year.
The Wooga Squad’s roots go back to 2016, when Park Seo Joon, Park Hyung Sik, and V met during the filming of the historical K-drama Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth. Their connection quickly deepened, and soon after, Seo Joon’s longtime friend Choi Woo Shik joined the circle. Musician-producer Peakboy rounded out the quintet, solidifying one of the most adored friendship groups in the Korean entertainment industry.
What began as a set friendship transformed into a lifelong support system. The squad is known for spontaneous trips, intimate gatherings, and constant encouragement for one another. They frequently attend each other’s premieres, concerts, events, and drama sets—always showing up both publicly and privately.
Earlier this year, when V completed his mandatory military service in June, the Wooga Squad reportedly organized a heartfelt welcome-back celebration. They had also thrown him a touching farewell before his enlistment, demonstrating the deep affection they hold for him as the youngest member of the group.
Their Hawaii reunion is yet another reminder of the genuine, lasting friendship that fans love to celebrate—proof that even amidst stardom, some bonds remain beautifully real.
