In the name of #squadgoals, Korean celebrities including BTS’ V, drama heartthrob Park Seo-joon, ZE:A singer Park Hyung-sik, Parasite star Choi Woo-shik and Peakboy have formed a band of brothers – how can we get a seat at the table?

If you’re ever on the lookout for #squadgoals, then you may have heard of the star-studded “Wooga Squad”. The friendship group includes Korean stars like Park Seo-joon, Park Hyung-sik, BTS’ V, Parasite star Choi Woo-shik and Peakboy.

In one video, V explains that “Wooga” is short for the Korean phrase, “Woori-ga gajok-inga?” which literally means, “Are we family?”. While they aren’t related by blood, they’re as close as real-life brothers. They openly support each other, attend group holidays and fulfil “squadgoals”⁠ – all at the same time.

If you’re not familiar with every member, here’s who you need to know.

The A-list squad is spearheaded by actor Park Seo-joon, whose astounding filmography includes Itaewon Class, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim? and Fight for My Way.

Initially, the squad was born when he bonded with singers Park Hyung-sik and V on the set of K-drama Hwarang.
