South Korea’s favorite friend group, the Wooga Squad, is melting hearts and sparking laughter with their adorable birthday wishes for Choi Woo Shik. On March 26, 2025, the actor celebrated his 35th birthday, and his besties Park Hyung Sik and Park Seo Joon took to Instagram to shower him with love. Their posts, filled with throwback photos and heartfelt captions, perfectly capture the squad’s signature mix of humor and affection.
Park Seo Joon’s Playful Throwback
Park Seo Joon kicked off the birthday celebrations by sharing a hilarious throwback photo from their 2012 sitcom “Shut Up Family.” The image shows the two actors in a comical moment, pretending to fight with exaggerated expressions and arms around each other’s necks. Alongside the photo, Park Seo Joon wrote a simple yet warm caption:

Happy birthday bro ❤️
This choice of photo is extra special because “Shut Up Family” was the first project where Park Seo Joon and Choi Woo Shik worked together, making it a nostalgic nod to their long-lasting friendship.
Park Hyung Sik’s Sweet and Sentimental Wish
Not to be outdone, Park Hyung Sik shared his own unique tribute. He posted an old, zoomed-in photo of Choi Woo Shik—possibly from his teenage years—where the actor’s face is hilariously blurry due to the low quality. But the caption stole the show with its heartfelt sincerity:

Woo Shik hyung, happy birthday I always love you Let’s be together forever.
To make it even more special, Park Hyung Sik included the song “Poom,” a collaboration between Choi Woo Shik and fellow Wooga Squad member Peakboy. This sweet touch highlighted the deep bond shared among the group.
Who is the Wooga Squad?
The Wooga Squad is a tight-knit circle of friends that includes Choi Woo Shik, Park Hyung Sik, Park Seo Joon, BTS’ V, and Peakboy. Fans fell in love with their chemistry during the 2022 reality show “In the Soop: Friendcation,” a five-episode series that showcased their genuine friendship and playful antics. Whether they’re supporting each other’s careers or celebrating milestones like birthdays, the squad never fails to charm the internet.
What’s Next for the Wooga Squad?
Fans won’t have to wait long to see more of the crew. Choi Woo Shik, Park Hyung Sik, and Park Seo Joon are set to star in “Dubai Friends,” a global tourism campaign for the Emirates. This marks their first joint on-screen appearance since “In the Soop: Friendcation,” and with friendship as the campaign’s theme, it’s a perfect fit for these real-life besties.
The Wooga Squad’s birthday wishes for Choi Woo Shik show us their unbreakable bond. From Park Seo Joon’s playful throwback to Park Hyung Sik’s touching message, these posts have fans smiling and eagerly awaiting more heartwarming moments from this iconic group.
