Park Seo-joon found a perfect solution to a tricky question about his friends. When asked which wedding he would attend, he chose to go on a trip instead. His answer shows the strong bond of the celebrity group called the Wooga Squad.
On December 13th, Park Seo-joon was a guest on the Coupang Play variety show Sisterโs Cafe. The host, Lee Soo-ji, asked him a difficult question. She asked him to choose between attending two close friends’ weddings happening at the same time. The friends were BTS’s V (Kim Taehyung) and actor Park Hyung-sik.
Faced with this impossible choice, Park Seo-joon gave a surprising answer. He said he would not go to either wedding.
I’m not going. I think I’ll go on a trip that day. I’d rather disappoint both of them!
His clever response got a lot of laughs on the show. After the episode, fans quickly shared the moment online. They praised him for being a good and fair friend who did not want to choose one friend over the other.
The Origin and Meaning of the Wooga Squad
The Wooga Squad is a famous friendship group in the South Korean entertainment industry. The members are actors Park Seo-joon, Park Hyung-sik, Choi Woo-shik, singer Peakboy, and BTS member V (Kim Taehyung).
The group’s name has a simple meaning. “Wooga” (์ฐ๊ฐ) in Korean is a casual way of saying “us” or “our”. This highlights that their connection is based on being regular friends.
Their friendship started in 2016. They were all working on the historical K-drama Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth. Park Seo-joon and Park Hyung-sik had lead roles in the series, while V played a supporting part. The bond they formed on set grew into a lasting friendship. Choi Woo-shik later joined the group through his connection with Park Seo-joon, and Peakboy completed the circle.
The group is known for being very private. They rarely talk about their friendship in public, which makes their occasional social media posts even more special for fans.
How Fans Reacted to Park Seo-joon’s Answer
After the show aired, fans took to social media to share their thoughts. Many people loved Park Seo-joon’s smart and diplomatic answer.
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote about how the group shows the world what true friendship looks like. Other fans agreed, saying his response was exactly what a real friend would say. The idea that he would rather let both friends down than pick a favorite showed the strength of their bond.
Some fans made jokes about the situation. Several said that maybe the two friends getting married was actually the solution. They joked that Park Hyung-sik and V (Taehyung) should just marry each other instead. This playful idea solved the scheduling problem for Park Seo-joon and made many people laugh online.
This fun reaction from fans shows how much people enjoy seeing the genuine friendship between these celebrities. It is a nice change from the usual celebrity news about work and projects.
Wooga Squad’s Recent Trip to Hawaii
The story about the wedding dilemma comes right after the group showed their friendship on a vacation. Just a few days before the show aired, on December 9th, BTS’s V posted pictures and videos from a trip to Hawaii.
The photos showed all five members of the Wooga Squad together. They were enjoying a relaxing getaway. The pictures included scenes of them:
- Walking by the sea and swimming in the ocean.
- Enjoying meals and beautiful sunsets together.
- Wearing matching flower garlands.
- Even shopping for groceries while wearing suits, which fans thought looked like a movie scene.
Park Seo-joon had also shared photos from this same vacation on his own Instagram on November 30th. He captioned his post, “Days spent while waiting for Gyeondo”. This was a reference to his then-upcoming drama Waiting for Gyeong-do, which started airing the week of his social media post.
These posts were exciting for fans because it had been a while since they saw the entire group together. The trip showed that despite their busy schedules, they still make time for each other.
The Busy Schedules of the Squad Members
Park Seo-joon’s joke about skipping weddings for a trip also reflects a real truth about the group. Each member is very successful in his own career, which makes it hard for them to meet often.
In an interview from October, fellow Wooga Squad member Choi Woo-shik talked about this. He said, “We hardly ever meet. Even when we want to, it rarely happens, but when we do, we have a lot of fun talking“.
Choi Woo-shik explained that all his friends are busy with their own projects. He also made it clear that the group is simply a circle of friends, not a formal or official group. The name “Wooga Squad” was something that naturally came about because of their friendship.
This makes their recent Hawaii trip and their ongoing support for each other even more meaningful. They stay connected by keeping in touch and letting each other know what they are doing, even when they cannot meet in person.
The Lasting Popularity of Celebrity Friendships
The story of Park Seo-joon’s wedding dilemma is more than just a funny TV moment. It shows why fans love seeing genuine friendships between celebrities. In an industry often focused on competition, seeing stars support each other is refreshing.
The Wooga Squad’s bond started on a drama set nearly a decade ago and has lasted through their rise to fame. Their friendship gives the public a look at their lives away from the stage and camera. As one fan page noted, with his Wooga Squad friends, V is “just another guy finding comfort and freedom away from the spotlight”.
Park Seo-joon’s simple answerโchoosing a trip over an impossible choiceโperfectly shows the balanced and supportive nature of their group. It is a reminder that even for global stars, the rules of friendship are simple: be fair, be loyal, and sometimes, just take a vacation with your friends.
