In October 2025, when BTS’s V (Kim Taehyung) officially completed his military service and returned to the entertainment industry, his unshakable friendship with actor Park Seo Joon once again became a hot topic among fans.
One story that perfectly captures their extraordinary bond is their two-month experience as roommates, revealed shortly before V’s enlistment via a YouTube video in 2023.
The story began when Park Seo Joon needed a temporary place to stay. Due to unexpected renovations at her home and an early return from an overseas program, she suddenly found herself without a place to live. Hearing this, V immediately said, “There is an empty room in my house, come and stay with me.” What started as a temporary arrangement turned into two months of living together.
But it wasn’t just about sharing space. During that time, Park Seo Joon shared meals with V’s parents, and later, both families also became close. V affectionately shared, “Park Seo Joon often ate with my parents. My parents and his parents are also friends now,” revealing that their relationship had become something akin to family.
Their friendship dates back to 2016, when they worked together on Hwarang drama. Back then, V was a novice actor who shyly approached Park Seo Joon, saying: “Can you teach me how to act?” Park Seo Joon found him endearing and that simple interaction blossomed into a close friendship.
Despite their seven-year age gap and different career stages, their sincerity towards each other made the bond easy. Over time, their friendship expanded to include Choi Woo Sik, Park Hyung Sik, and Peakboy, forming the now famous group known as “Wooga Fam”. The group has been admired for its genuine camaraderie: they support each other’s projects, celebrate milestones, and even travel together.
Before V enlisted, Park Seo Joon appeared with him on PD’s variety show Na Young Seok, baking a birthday cake and spending heartfelt time together to greet his friend with warmth and encouragement. Even during V’s military service, the members of the Wooga Fam remained in contact and continued to show their loyalty.
Now that V is back, the group is complete again. Their enduring friendship, built on trust, respect and shared growth, stands out as a rare and meaningful bond in the world of entertainment.
In a competitive industry where relationships often fade, V and Park Seo Joon’s friendship shines as a symbol of authenticity and loyalty, proving that even in fame and loneliness, genuine human connection can endure.
