In the Soop: Friendcation is a delightful peek into the inner world of five K-celebrity mates. This short-lived but pleasant reality TV series provides a refreshing break from the usual scripted dramas. Let’s dive into the details.

The Wooga Squad: Real People Getting Real

The show revolves around the Wooga Squad, a Korean celebrity friend-group. The squad includes K-pop star and BTS member V (Kim Taehyung), along with other heavy-hitting K-stars like Choi Woo-shik (Parasite, Our Beloved Summer, Time to Hunt), Park Seo-joon (Captain Marvel 2: The Marvels, Itaewon Class), actor/singer Park Hyung-sik (Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, Suits, Juror 8), and rapper/singer/producer Peakboy (known for hits like Gin&Tonic, body positivity anthem Diet, and the summer 2021 tune Gyopo Hairstyle).

From Skepticism to Relatable Conversations

The series kicks off with skepticism as V invites the guys to lunch at his agency. He convinces them to take a trip together—on camera. While some hesitate, they eventually agree. As the days pass, the cameras fade into the background, and we witness real conversations about friendship, work, and aspirations. The guys share their start, what drew them to each other, and how they stay connected despite demanding schedules.

Unwitting Cast Roles

Each member seems to play a specific role:

• Park Seo-joon: The father and emotional anchor.
• Park Hyung-sik: The kind mom, a little softer than dad.
• Choi Woo-shik: The trustworthy older son and leader of the kids.
• Peakboy: The wild youngest daughter, always pumped up.
• Kim Taehyung (BTS’ V): The cute and mischievous youngest sibling.

Beyond the Roles

As the days go by, we see deeper dynamics emerge. What starts as a drive and a nap becomes compelling viewing. The infectious laughter and sincere conversations draw us in. Whether you’re a fan of these celebs or not, it’s an enjoyable few hours watching these five guys get real somewhere In the Soop.
