ZE:A's Hyungsik clarified that his father wasn't the CEO of BMW Korea, but rather a member of the board of directors.

On the July 23 episode of SBS' 'Incarnation', Hyungsik was asked, "There are stories that you're the son of the CEO of a foreign car company. But the truth is that you're not really super rich, so you're nervous [that you'll be found out]." Hyungsik said, "My father isn't the CEO, but a member of the board of directors."

Kwanghee clarified, "I had no other way to make Hyungsik more known, so I said it first on broadcast". Hyungsik added, "So I asked my father. I knew he was part of the company, but I didn't know if he was in a high position. I asked him, 'You really are a member of the board, right?', and he showed me his business card."

Hyungsik also added, "My father was a little flustered when it was broadcast and he said that it'd be good not to talk about him that much."
