“In the Soop: Friendcation,” a reality show featuring BTS' V hanging out with his celebrity friends, will premiere in July. This new show comes a month after BTS announced its hiatus for members to focus on solo projects.

The four-episode series will star V, rapper Peakboy, singer-actor Park Hyung-sik from the Disney+ series “Soundtrack #1,” Choi Woo-shik from Oscar-winning film “Parasite” and Park Seo-joon, who has been confirmed to appear in “The Marvels.” The five men are collectively known as the “Wooga Squad.”

The show, which is a spin-off of Hybe's reality show “In the Soop” focused on BTS, will follow the group of friends as they take a break in a remote woodland area, enjoying a getaway from the pressures of stardom.

BTS' V has been featured before on the “In the Soop” series, appearing in two seasons with his bandmates in 2020 and 2021, during which they cooked dinner, played video games and went fishing together.

“In the Soop: Friendcation” will premiere on July 22. It will air on Fridays at 9 p.m. on JTBC and at 11 p.m. on Disney+.
