Park Hyung Sik is well-known among the ARMY fandom as being one of V's co-actors in the hit 2016 drama Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth. In the show, Park Hyung Sik, also known as PHS, starred as Sam Maek-Jong, a young monarch in the Kingdom of Silla, who joined a group of elite warriors known as the hwarang.
Historically, hwarang, which translates to "flowering knights," received special training to become protectors of the kingdom. In the show, Park Hyung Sik is joined by other actors such as Park Seo Joon, Choi Min-ho, Go Ara, and of course, V playing the charming and adorable Han Sung.
V and Park Hyung Sik's friendship
V and Park Hyung Sik, along with Park Seo Joon have maintained a close friendship since Hwarang, and have formed a friend group known as the "Wooga Squad." The group includes actor Choi Woo-Shik of the Oscar-winning Parasite film, and musician Peakboy, who V has also worked with on his solo single "Snow Flower."
Their bond as friends in and out of the Korean entertainment industry has been immortalized in the 2022 HYBE reality show, In The Soop: Friendcation, where Park Hyung Sik, V, and the rest of the gang embarked on a fun and intimate four-day vacation trip together.
