Cuteness overload from ZE:A's Park Hyung Sik.

Lately ZE:A's Park Hyung Sik seems to be gaining lots of attention from netizens and media. First he was the baby soldier in MBC's variety show- Real Men and he has displayed an array of humble and weird characters. He is known to be very honest and respectful to his veteran in the industry. Veteran actor Jang Hyuk often praised him and once in an interview, actress Su Ae mentioned she watches Real Men because of Hyungsik. Comedian Sam Hammington always envies Hyungsik for being young, talented, good looking and does well in everything (apart from playing music instruments! Haha!

He's also the 2nd youngest in his boy band after Dong Jun. Fellow member Kwanghee envies him because of his looks and also his influential background since Hyungsik's father is a director in a B-foreign car company. 

And how do we forget his dorky role in The Heirs drama as Kim Woo Bin's buddy? 

Though he was a supporting role as a chaebol's son in this drama- he is super adorable carrying his camera everywhere to snap pictures of campus couple while poking his nose into everyone's business. Meanwhile he still keeps close contact with Kim Woo Bin. 

When he gained a 2nd role in KBS's long weekend drama- What's With The Family? as the the youngest and rebellious unemployed son Cha Dal Bong...his character was loud and sometimes pain in the a** but don't we all love him? He was innocent and petty with jealousy when he sees the girl he like played by Nam Ji Hyun is been wooed by Seo Kang Joon. 


Overall the years we have seen Park Hyungsik has matured so 
much from a boyband idol member to an improved actor. He has shed off his baby looks and innocent idol image to a more professional actor. This year he has been casted for second lead role in the drama High Society playing as a chaebol's son who is only interested in gaining a higher position in his dad's company while ditching all the dirty job to his fellow friend played by Sung Joon. His character Chang Soo is quite honest and opened as he started finding himself liking a poor part-timer girl Ji Yi at his food market mall. I even find the secondary roles in High Society are far more interesting to watch than the lead roles. We could guess easily what's going to fall on UEE and Sung Joon's characters later on but nothing beats the sweet straight relationship between Chang Soo and Ji Yi though it's a doomed love-thing to start with.

Besides that Hyungsik's endorsements on CFs were countless too. He models for Thermos, Nongshim noodles, Beanpole Bike Repair Shop, softdrink McCoL..etc,
He has even starred on the musical stage Bonnie and Clyde with After School's Kahee
For a young idol starlet to a budding actor- I'd really give him thumbs up. So far he has done very well to promote his group apart from his fellow members- Im Si Wan and Kwanghee.

He's one to be look out for this year...let's hope he wins some new star or rookie awards.
