Article: 'Baby Soldier' Park Hyung Shik, can he become the 2nd Suzy?

Source: Star News via nate

1. [+529, -55] He's a decent singer, good actor judging from what I saw in 'Nine' and has a great personality for variety shows judging from 'Real Men' and other shows.... The second Suzy... it might not be as ridiculous as it sounds

2. [+423, -45] Park Hyungshik is Park Hyungshik! No second Suzy!!! Just work as hard as you are now ^^

3. [+374, -40] I think he has everything it takes to be the second Suzy. Good singer (for those who don't know, he's ZE:A's main vocalist), his acting is up to par for the roles he gets, and has a great head on his shoulders. Handsome to boot as well.

4. [+26, -7] He's a male, why compare him to Suzy? Why not Lee Seung Gi ㅋㅋㅋ I have a feeling he's already at Lee Seung Gi's level considering he has probably captured the heart of every 20 year old woman out there ㅋㅋㅋ Even as a guy myself, I have to admit that his popularity is well earned

5. {+24, -22] He's a better singer and actor than Suzy, though...

Article: After taking over acting and variety, will Park Hyungshik grab control of his original career as a singer

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+284, -14] Hyungshik really seems to have grown up to be a good young man. He makes me smile like his older sister.

2. [+263, -21] I didn't know much about him at first but the more you get to know him, the more you realize that he's well rounded in everything. Good at singing, good at talking, good at variety shows. Baby soldier is so cute ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+256, -17] ZE:A performed on Immortal Song yesterday and Park Hyungshik's actually a good singer. He works hard on variety shows as well~

Article: Park Hyungshik's surprising past "I rejected casting offers from SM and YG"

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+801, -37] To all the people questioning why their company focused so much on Kwanghee while letting someone like Hyungshik take the backseat, you should realize that it's because of everything Kwanghee's done that the other members are able to shine like this, albeit late. There hasn't been an idol like Kwanghee... Only kids with talent shine on varieties.

2. [+537, -28] I'm glad he didn't join them!! I don't think he would've been able to express his innocence as the 'baby soldier' like he is now... And Kwanghee seemed like a person with deep thoughts on this show.

3. [+476, -20] He's cute with his bangs down but he looks so refreshing with them up. I knew he was handsome but he's even moreso with a good hair style.

4. [+35, -4] He shows that anyone who's meant to be popular will be popular no matter where they are

5. [+34, -6] If he had gone to SM, he would've become a robot. If he had gone to YG, he would've become a tryhard ㅋㅋ The reason SM kids get so hated on variety shows is because they make it so obvious that they were trained in exactly what to say for all their comments and reactions ㅋㅋ

Article: ZE:A is the trend? 'New recruit' Park Hyung Shik earns a hot response

Source: OSEN via Naver

Article talks about Park Hyung Shik pulling in the viewers on 'Real Men' with his hard work ethic. Discharged soldiers felt like they could relate to him because he works and reacts to situations the same way they did in the real army. He also isn't quick to give up no matter how hard the training is. As with what happened with Mir, this rise in popularity is also helping to bring more attention to ZE:A.

1. [+442, -5] Yes idols, watch and learn. This is how you build public recognition and an image.

2. [+394, -4] Yeah, this guy really did seem like a good kid

3. [+320, -4] I just got done watching him in Nine so I feel more personally connected to him on this variety show. I'm rooting for him and wish him the best ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+318, -3] Hyungshik-ah, I'm a reserve hyung here to support you. I'm sure the other reserves are supporting you as well. You really made me choke up several times in yesterday's episode... Reminded me of some memories from my own service ㅠㅠ

5. [+270, -3] He may be awkward and not adept at some trainings but he really works hard and seems ready to learn. It must be difficult to have to work on a show like this so find strength.

6. [+240, -6] Truly the rediscovery of Hyungshik. He touched my heart yesterday.

7. [+236, -3] It's not only the female viewers he's bringing out motherly instincts in. He brought out my fatherly instincts with how confused and cute he looked all the time ㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+206, -1] I had no idea who he was until I saw him in Nine and finally Real Men!! He's really cute

9. [+193, -3] He just acts in a manner where you can't hate him... Just so cute ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+148, -3] He played off the younger character well in Nine so it's good to see him back on TV like this. Fighting ^^

11. [+147, -12] I always thought he was more handsome than Im Siwan
