Park Hyung Sik Calls BTS' Kim Taehyung ‘Immature Maknae', Fans React
Last Updated: Park Hyung Sik was comparing all the members of the Wooga Squad to a family when he tagged V as the 'immature maknae'. It's no secret that Kim Taehyung, aka V, shares close friendship with his Wooga Squad, comprising actors Park Seo Joon, Park Hyung-sik, Choi Woo Shik and rapper Peakboy. He has known them since they worked together on the K-drama Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth. Despite their strong bond, a new clip that surfaced on social media has raised questions about the friendship between V and Hyung Sik. Park Hyung Sik Calls V 'Immature Maknae' In the clip, the Doctor Slump actor discusses the dynamics of Wooga Squad and explains the roles of each member in the tight-knit group. The video was part of an interview as part of his solo fan meeting promotions in 2024. Hyung Sik began comparing each one with a family member, saying, 'Seojoon hyung is like the father figure, Peakboy hyung is like the eldest son, Wooshik hyung is the second older brother, the playful one, and V is the immature maknae." Talking about his role in the group, he added, 'I feel like I play the role of the mother. It's not that I want to be, but I often find myself taking care of them and helping them." Regardless of their roles, Hyung Sik mentioned that they always love and support each other, adding, 'I think it's because we always encourage each other, always support one another wholeheartedly." Hyungsik is the 'mother' of the Wooga squad ❤️ Honestly, I'm not surprised at all, he's always so loving, caring and has an old gentle soul…✨ BTS V's Fans Started Reacting To The Clip Angrily As expected, the clip surely garnered attention from V's fans, who started reacting to it angrily. One fan said, 'Let's be for real now, y'all would have fought tooth and nail if it were a BTS member who called him immature." Another added, 'He obviously said it jokingly because they're friends, but if one of the members ever called Taehyung 'immature,' you just know his solos would drag that member to hell and back, insisting the members hate him and he should leave bts altogether." Meanwhile, some also came out in support of Hyung Sik, highlighting the loving bond between the members of the Wooga Squad. 'Tell me u don't know a f–k abt Wooga members' bond without telling, they love and care for each other even more than ur bts members have between them. They treat Tae like a baby, they promote his music too, they visited him before going to military and after his discharge too," one user mentioned. Did Park Hyung Sik Really Mean That BTS' V Is Immature? If you ask us, we would say not at all. Hyung Sik calling V 'immature maknae (youngest member)" has been totally taken out of context. The Strong Girl Bong-Soon meant it in a playful way, suggesting that he is the one to fool around the most. V has looked up to the actor as a supportive senior. Meanwhile, Hyung Sik has also repeatedly expressed his love for V by cheering for his solo endeavours. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Fact Check: Did Park Hyung Sik call BTS' V ‘immature kid'? Exploring the truth behind viral clip
Park Hyung Sik and BTS member V have known each other since their appearance on Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth, which also starred Park Seo Joon in the lead role. Having formed a strong bond on set, they welcomed the latter's other friends Choi Woo Shik and Peakboy to form Wooga Squad. Now, a clip has resurfaced about the Strong Girl Bong Soon actor talking about the members' roles in the team, with doubts being raised about him calling the singer 'immature maknae'. What did Park Hyung Sik say about BTS' V that angered fans? A new video has been making the rounds on the internet about the Happiness actor talking about the titles each one of them takes in the group. Spoken in an interview in 2024 as a part of his solo fan meeting promotions, Park Hyung Sik said, 'Comparing it as a family relationship, Seojoon hyung is like the father figure, Peakboy hyung is like the eldest son, Wooshik hyung is the second older brother, the playful one, and V is the immature maknae. I feel like I play the role of the mother. It's not that I want to be, but I often find myself taking care of them and helping them. I think it's because we always encourage each other, always support one another wholeheartedly.' The usage of 'immature youngest one' has been taken out of context to define the relationship between the actor and the younger singer. Although the words were indeed used, their implication was not what is being spread around. Park Hyung Sik is known to be very caring of the juniors around him, and as someone who has debuted later in the K-pop and K-drama industries, compared to the actor, V has always looked up to the star. The Buried Hearts actor has time and again praised BTS' music, sharing his love for Kim Taehyung's solo tracks, including Rainy Days. They continue to be as close as ever!

From BTS' V To TWICE's Sana: Top 10 K-Pop Idols Who Can Totally Star In K-Dramas
Last Updated: Some K-pop idols have such a magnetic presence and charming looks that fans want to see them in K-dramas as well. K-pop idols have taken the world by storm. Whether it's their magnetic presence, impressive performances, charming looks or trendy style, people from all over the world have become fans of these idols. They have achieved such unprecedented fame in recent years that fans no longer want to see them just on stage performing their hits, but also in K-dramas. Here's a list of 10 K-pop idols that we think can totally be in a drama. BTS' Kim Taehyung Although Kim Taehyung, also known as V, made his acting debut in 2016 with the show Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth, he was cast in a supporting role. But with his boyish charm and mysterious aura, he can certainly lead a K-drama as the chaebol heir with a hidden past. NCT's Taeyong Taeyong kind of has a mysterious vibe. If he ever decides to venture into acting, the K-pop idol can portray a transfer school student seeking to make changes in his life after facing hardships at his previous school. ENHYPEN's Sunghoon With his princely visuals and quiet charisma, the ENHYPEN member will be suitable to act in period dramas. Given his skating skills, he can also portray a figure skater in a K-drama, who appears to be tough at first, but slowly melts over the female lead. TXT's Beomgyu Known for his witty, warm and funny nature, TXT's Beomgyu is the perfect candidate for playing the second lead in a school-based K-drama. He can portray the character who secretly falls in love with the female lead, but never expresses it to her. Stray Kids' Bang Chan Bang Chan emanates the vibes of a person who puts everyone else first before himself. He can definitely star in a healing drama, where he offers advice to people and gradually develops a relationship with the female lead. BLACKPINK's Jennie Jennie made her acting debut in Hollywood with The Weeknd's show titled The Idol. She has not done any K-dramas. The BLACKPINK member can definitely play the rich, confident, and stylish female lead, who seems untouchable until her backstory is revealed. ITZY's Ryujin Ryunjin is no damsel in distress. She has already ventured into acting, but not in a prominent role. Given her no-nonsense vibe, the ITZY star can portray the role of the fiercely independent female lead. TWICE Sana Sana's bubbly and lovable personality is perfect for a rom-com. She can be a great fit for the messy girl, who somehow ends up with the charming male lead of a school-based drama. Aespa Karina Karina has the visuals of a princess who is calm and collected. Also, she can totally portray a character straight out of a sci-fi setting. Picture her as the lead of a fantasy drama, stuck between two timelines. TWICE Nayeon Nayeon is bubbly and charming, making her fit for the girl-next-door role. She can star in a K-drama telling the story of a girl whose life is turned upside down when she faces her family's hidden truth. view comments First Published: July 09, 2025, 14:42 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

The moment went viral in no time, and many took it as a hint of a collaboration between V and Squid Game. This buzz gained momentum further when Squid Game's Lee Jung Jae, who portrayed Player 456 aka Seong Gi Hun, and Wi Ha Joon, who played Jun Ho, were asked about V's involvement during an interview with BuzzFeed UK in January. While neither confirmed anything, their silence only added fuel to the fire. Jung Jae said, 'I can't say anything about that," while Ha Joon added, 'No comment."

During this interaction, he shared an update regarding his new project, saying, 'This is probably… Maybe if we wait a little longer, I think it'll come out. But it's not really a big deal. Oh, but to me, it's actually a huge deal." While a majority of ARMYs thought he was talking about his Squid Game cameo, another section speculated that BTS' V might have been roped in for his second K-drama. First Published:
