Park Hyung Sik on November 16, 2024, celebrated his 33rd birthday in the company of his closest friends, the iconic Wooga Squad. This tight-knit group of celebrities, known for their enduring bond and shared moments, gathered for a joyous celebration that included Park Seo Joon, Choi Woo Shik and others. However, what stood out to fans was the noticeable absence of BTS’ V, also known as Kim Taehyung, who is currently serving his mandatory military service. Despite his absence, the spirit of the Wooga Squad remained strong, with heartfelt moments captured in photos shared by Park Hyung Sik.

In a beautiful gesture, Park Hyung Sik included the song Christmas Tree, a heartfelt OST from the 2021 Kdrama Our Beloved Summer (starring Choi Woo Shik), in his birthday post shared on Instagram. The song, which features Taehyung's soothing vocals, was a touching tribute to the Wooga Squad's bond and to V, who has been part of this close circle of friends since 2016. This sweet nod moved fans to V and many shared their appreciation for the squad's unwavering friendship, transcending distance and time.

The story of how the Wooga Squad came together is a tale of camaraderie that started during the filming of the Kdrama Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth in 2016. BTS V, who was making his acting debut, was introduced to Park Seo Joon and Park Hyung Sik, who were already established stars. According to V, Park Seo Joon became a mentor to him on set, helping him navigate his first acting experience and even treating the cast to meals. Initially intimidated by the senior actor, V grew closer to Park Seo Joon over time, and their friendship blossomed.

Park Hyung Sik, who played a significant role in Hwarang, also became a key part of the trio. The actor, known for his roles in Strong Woman Bong-soon and as a member of the group Z, quickly bonded with V and Park Seo Joon, forming the foundation of the Wooga Squad.

The group expanded further when Park Seo Joon introduced his long-time friends, Choi Woo Shik and Peakboy, to V and Park Hyung Sik. Choi Woo Shik, best known for his role in Parasite and Our Beloved Summer, had known Park Seo Joon since their early days in the industry, and their friendship had been a source of support throughout the years. Peakboy, a talented musician, had been friends with Park Seo Joon since their high school days, making the group's connection even stronger.
