Both ZE:A�members were guests on the August 22 installment of�'Happy Together', and Kwanghee said, "To be honest, Hyungsik got into our team through his connections. Before we debuted, there were about 20 trainees, but only a limited number of us could debut. But one day, our manager suddenly brought in Hyungsik. So I thought, 'He's here through connections, so he'll definitely be a member'. So I didn't like him."
