Known as one of the famous friend groups in the Korean Entertainment industry, Wooga Squad has shown their strong friendship through numerous appearances. It was in the 2016 series Hwarang, which marked V’s acting debut, that the group first met.
Since then, the five members developed a close bond. In 2022, the Wooga Squad even participated in the reality show In the Soop: Friendcation, where they spent time together on a getaway.
BTS’ V pens heartfelt message for ARMYs
While V’s friends bid him farewell, the idol also made sure to say goodbye to ARMYs, BTS’ fanbase, before starting off his mandatory service.
V gifted ARMYs a heartfelt message which he shared on Weverse, alongside a couple of solo and group photos of the band. The “Slow Dancing” singer began his post by saying, “I think I’ll miss you too much. Actually, I’m really sad to not see ARMYs for the time being”.
