BTS member V (Kim Taehyung) once again sent fans into a frenzy after sharing a carousel of candid, heart-stealing photographs from his recent Hawaii getaway with his closest friends, the beloved Wooga Squad. The singer posted the images on his official Instagram account on December 9, giving ARMY a rare and intimate peek into his downtime with Park Seo Joon, Choi Woo Shik, Park Hyung Sik, and Peakboy.
The photos beautifully captured the group in their most unfiltered and relaxed moments—soaking in ocean waves, watching golden-hour sunsets, enjoying lively meals, clinking glasses during celebrations, and simply laughing together without a care in the world. Free from the overwhelming spotlight of fame, the images highlighted the effortless comfort and deep-rooted brotherhood the five share. Fans quickly flooded the comments with love, calling the vibe “pure,” “healing,” and the ultimate “friendship goals.”
Actor Park Seo Joon had also shared glimpses from the same trip earlier, further proving just how connected and in sync the group remains despite their packed schedules and global commitments. Many fans are already calling the Hawaii album one of the most wholesome celebrity friendship moments of the year.
The Wooga Squad’s origin story traces back to 2016 when Park Seo Joon and Park Hyung Sik starred in the historical K-drama Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth. During the shoot, they formed a strong bond with V, who appeared in a supporting role that left a memorable impression. The trio’s chemistry soon expanded when Seo Joon’s long-time friend Choi Woo Shik joined the crew, followed by musician-producer Peakboy, completing the now-iconic friend circle.
What started as a simple drama-set friendship has grown into one of the most adored celebrity squads in the Korean entertainment world. Known for their spontaneous trips, private hangouts and constant support for one another, the group attends movie premieres, concerts, fan events and drama sets to cheer each other on—both publicly and behind the scenes.
Earlier this year, when V completed his mandatory military service in June, the Wooga Squad reportedly organized a heartfelt welcome-back party for him. They had also thrown a touching farewell when he enlisted, showcasing their unwavering affection for the youngest member.
Their Hawaii reunion marks yet another reminder of the genuine, enduring bond that fans can’t help but celebrate.
