In the Soop: Friendcation
Disney+ is a new streaming service that offers a variety of movies, TV shows, and original content. This summer, In the Soop: Friendcation (Soop = ‘forest’ for you Korean language learners) is available on Disney+ as a series. The series stars BTS’ V (Kim Taehyung), Choi Woo-shik, Park Seo-joon, Park Hyung-sik, and rapper/singer/producer Peakboy. ..
The Wooga Squad is a group of friends who formed together in 2016 on the show Hwarang. Park Seo-joon, Park Hyung-sik, and Kim Taehyung all worked together on the show K-drama Shut Up Family and then went to the same high school. But if we hang around, we may hear a bit more of the detail on what sealed their little family and keeps them making the effort to group up.
In the Soop: Friendcation Friends
The unwitting friends of the group-presumed role of Unwitting Friendcationers are people who just don’t understand how social media works. They think that because they’re friends with everyone in the group, they must be cool and intelligent. But this is not always the case. Sometimes, the friends of the Unwitting Friendcationers just don’t understand how social media works and think that they’re being funny or clever when they’re really just being mean to others.
Park Seo-joon (Captain Marvel 2: The Marvels) is the father and emotional anchor. Park Hyung-sik (Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, Suits, Juror 8) is the kind mom, a little softer than dad. Choi Woo-shik (Parasite, Our Beloved Summer, Time to Hunt) is the trustworthy older son, leader of the kids. Kwon Sung-hwan (rapper/singer/producer Peakboy known for Gin&Tonic and last summer’s Gyopo Hairstyle) is the wild youngest daughter, always pumped up. Kim Taehyung (BTS’ V, and also appeared in Hwarang, BTS In The Soop) is the cute & mischievous youngest sibling. ..
Where Can I Watch?
Disney+ is a new streaming service from Disney that is set to premiere in South Korea on July 22 and will air on JTBC Fridays at 9pm KST. It will be available on the local Disney+ channel at 11pm KST thereafter. The first three episodes of the series will be available globally, but there is no release date yet for the rest of the series. YouTube seems like a good bet for finding episodes if Disney+ doesn’t capitalize quickly. ..
Where Can I Watch Outside of Select Asian Markets?
Disney+ is a new streaming service that will be available in early 2019. It will be owned by Disney and will compete with Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services. Disney+ has announced a global partnership with HYBE which includes this mini-series and several other BTS-related programmes. ..
Episode 3 Preview
We see the guys remove to the playroom to watch Woo-shik in Our Beloved Summer. Poor guy.
In Episode 2 of “Drama,” Seo-joon and the other members of the team comment on how tough it is to wrangle a mic from Taehyung or Hyung-sik. We may get to see what that looks like in the next episode.
The guys in the clip asking Taehyung if he’s crying next week are teasing us. They have a preview clip of their next episode that shows them doing this.
Is There a Trailer?
- The party is tonight!
- Let’s have some fun!

Is There an OST?
There seems to be a new song out there that you can clearly hear and it seems like Peakboy had a hand in the production. I hope that a full-sized OST version will be released as it’s a pleasant tune.
What happened in Episode 2?
The second episode of Boundless is a lot more revealing about the group’s dynamics and some of the home truths about how some of them view each other. We get a tease of what might happen when we next see them at their next fireside chat.

Disney and HYBE have announced a collaboration for In The Soop: Friendcation, which is set to launch in July. Two new teasers have been released for the upcoming series. ..
Have we got the full complement?
The first day of the film is a blur for most of the characters. Day 2 starts with the guys all being there and it quickly becomes clear that they have a lot in common. They can switch roles easily, filling any gap that is needed. It’s interesting to see how their personalities change as they work together, and whether either is a middle child. We won’t leave you hanging though – both Hyung-sik and Woo-shik have older brothers.
Who’s the most surprising as an ‘off-screen’ view?
The group of boys lynching Seo-joon are much quieter than imagined. He says very little but his presence is palatable – like a father figure observing the kids’ playtime. As the others chit-chat, they check for his reaction, awaiting concurrence. And so far it isn’t much more than a nod or quiet comment. Often it feels more like he’s observing rather than participating with the occasional jump into the fun.
Meanwhile, Parasite is leading Woo-shik around like a puppy. But at home with the guys, he’s just as fumbly as the rest of us. And practically exploding with his desire to do more, be more. It’s lovely to watch and extremely relatable.
How are these guys connected again?
The BTS-modelled trip was a way for the group to show their support for Kim Taehyung, who is often mentioned as the driving force behind their friendship.
This week’s episode of “The Office” features a crossover between two of the show’s main characters. The two have a history together, and it seems that they’ve gotten to know each other well since their connection. ..
Hwarang is a Korean drama starring Park Seo-joon, Park Hyung-sik, and Kim Taehyung. Kim Taehyung also created a soundtrack for the show with his BTS-mate Jin Choi Woo-shik and Park Seo-joon has appeared in a number of productions together since 2012, not least of which was Parasite. Kim Taehyung created OST tunes for Itaewon Class (Park Seo-joon) and Our Beloved Summer (Choi Woo-shik) Peakboy is featured on Kim Taehyung’s solo tune ‘Snow Flower.’ ..
