In October 2025, as BTS’s V (Kim Taehyung) officially completed his military service and returned to the entertainment industry, his unwavering 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 roommate experience, which was revealed just before V’s enlistment through a YouTube video in 2023.
The story began when Park Seo Joon needed a temporary place to stay. Due to unexpected renovations at his home and an early return from an overseas schedule, he suddenly found himself without a place to live. Hearing this, V immediately said, “There’s an empty room at my house come 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 became close as well. V shared affectionately, “Park Seo Joon used to eat with my parents often. Even my parents and his parents are now friends,” revealing that their relationship had grown into something akin to family.
Their friendship dates back to 2016, when they worked together on the Hwarang drama. Back then, V was a rookie actor who approached Park Seo Joon shyly, saying, “Can you teach me how to act?” Park Seo Joon found him endearing, and that simple interaction blossomed into a close friendship.
Despite a seven-year age gap and their different career stages, their sincerity toward each other made the bond effortless. 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 their genuine camaraderie — supporting each other’s projects, celebrating milestones, and even traveling together.
Before V enlisted, Park Seo Joon appeared with him on PD Na Young Seok’s variety show, preparing a birthday cake and spending heartfelt time together to send his friend off with warmth and encouragement. Even during V’s military service, the Wooga Fam members kept in touch and continued to show their loyalty.
Now that V has returned, the group is once again complete. Their enduring friendship grounded in trust, respect, and shared growth stands out as a rare and meaningful bond in the entertainment world.
In a competitive industry where relationships often fade, V and Park Seo Joon’s friendship shines as a symbol of authenticity and loyalty, showing that even in fame and solitude, genuine human connection can endure.
