Park Hyung-Sik (born November 16, 1991),[1] simply known by his stage name Hyungsik, is a South Korean singer and actor. He is a member of the South Korean boy group, ZE:A and its sub-group ZE:A Five. Apart from his singing career, he is most well known for his work in The Heirs (2013), High Society (2015), Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth (2016) and Strong Woman Do Bong-soon (2017).
Early life and education
Park was born in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea as the second of two sons. He was named Hyung-sik (형식, 炯植) by a Buddhist monk, as his mother and grandmother are Buddhists.[2]
Park attended Shingal Elementary School, Giheung Middle School and Shingal High School. Currently, he is studying Business Administration at Digital Seoul Culture Arts University.[citation needed] He has one older brother and his father worked in BMW Korea.[3] He started learning Gumdo from the third grade of elementary school for 7 to 8 years and has a certificate as a holder of the 4th stage of Haidong Gumdo.[4] Park stated that Gumdo was a hobby, but he preferred singing and other music-related activities.[citation needed] In his junior high school year, he joined a band and participated in various competitions.[5]
In an episode of Healing Camp, Park revealed that he was ostracized and bullied as a trainee for being close to a casting manager.[6] He suffered from depression as a result. With the strong support and affectionate treatment he got from fellow ZE:A members, he managed to overcome his depression.

Park gained much popularity on screen after he joined the military variety show Real Men in 2013, where he was nicknamed "Baby Soldier" for his innocent yet passionate image.[17] He achieved further recognition with two hit dramas - SBS's teen dama The Heirs (2013) and KBS's weekend family drama What's With This Family (2014).[18][19]
