A recent playful comment by Wooga Squad’s Park Hyung Sik regarding BTS’s V has sparked a debate online. While sharing a lighthearted behind-the-scenes encounter, Hyung Sik playfully described V as the immature maknae. The word maknae means the youngest in Korean. Although a joke, the remark prompted divided opinions; some found it cute, while others argued that it undermined V’s private and professional growth. Read on to know more.
What Park Hyung Sik Said About BTS’ V
The clip was featured in a behind-the-scenes video segment featuring Park Hyung Sik of the Wooga Squad, a group of actor friends including BTS V, Park Seo Joon, Park Hyung Sik, Choi Woo Shik, and Peakboy. During the discussion, the actor mentioned nonchalantly how V is still behaving like the group’s youngest, using the phrase ‘immature maknae’ with amusement.
In the same clip, Park Hyung Sik also described the dynamic of the group and what role each friend plays in it. He said Park Seo Joon is the father of the squad, Peakboy the eldest son, Choi Woo Sik the mischievous middle child and finally BTS V, the immature maknae.
The clip was soon widely shared on platforms, some jokingly agreeing. “He’s the youngest. Of course he’s going to get babied,” a fan said. Others also noted that V has a fun-loving and creative personality that tends to be juxtaposed against his serious musical sensibilities and introspective thoughts in interviews.
Even so, a segment of the fanbase felt uneasy with the comment. “Labelling him as immature belittles the progress he has made,” said a fan, referring to BTS V’s independent projects, acting career, and emotional complexity expressed through his music and fan mail. Others wondered if the statement perpetuated stereotypes or shortchanged his efforts.
