A lot of people that have been following my blog for some time would know that I’ve been a fan of Park Hyungsik since March of this year. I say today is my fifth month anniversary because March 15th is day that I opened my eyes to him.

I’m sure people that have been following my blog would also know that I first watched something from Park Hyungsik was back in 2016 which was exactly seven years ago. I had a chance to become his fan by watching Hwarang but I didn’t. He completely went pass by me and fully went over my head. I tell this story all the time because it is personal to me and today is even a better day to talk about it since it’s my fifth month being his fangirl so it’s perfect for the occasion.

The thing is Park Hyungshik…..me and my close fangirl friend call him Shikkie…..he was a part of the Kpop boy group that disbanded back in 2017 called ZE:A! I first heart of ZE:A like back in 2013…..so to some degree I heard of his former band and him like thirteen years ago. Unfortunately, when it came to ZE:A…..Gwanghee and Im Shiwan were the ones that came to mind when it came to that group and now I’m regretting it so bad……how could I not be so familiar? How come I let him pass me by like that?

I had a chance to get to know him from Hwarang but I didn’t give him a chance, I also had a chance to get to know him in Strong Woman Do Bongsoon but I decided to say pass to that as well. I did watch Hwarang when it came out but I watched for a different reason….I watched it mainly for V….even though I wasn’t a fan of Taehyung nor BTS at the time but it was recommended to me from a V fan I knew. Also, I did hear about Park Seojoon, I already knew about Choi Minho from Shinee and Go Ara from stuff but Park Hyungshik, our Dear Shikkie was the only one that I wasn’t really familiar with.

Whenever Shikkie came on when I first watched Hwarang, I just skipped it and fast forwarded to non Shikkie scenes. I mainly watched all the scenes with Park Seojoon, Go Ara, V and Choi Minho……I can’t believe I did that…..years later when I fell flat on the floor and became a huge Park Hyungsik fangirl, I realized what I did back in 2016 was foolish and I even consider it an astrocity.

Also fast forward to 2017, I had a chance with Shikkie by watching Strong Woman Do Bongsoon and I was so close to watching it too but I didn’t do it…..That was pretty dumb to if you ask me now……

However, things changed in 2023…..Shikkie’s new show Our Blooming Youth aired like in early February…..and around that time I was watching a show called Ghost Doctor on VIKI over and over again. I was a hug fan of Kim Bum at the time……and his comedic acting from Ghost Doctor made me rewatch that show as if it was never going out of style…..but then I kept on seeing this promo for OUR BLOOMING YOUTH from VIKI……at first I didn’t bite, I was just so annoyed for seeing that ad……..

However, I was curious….don’t know why but I was so I decided to just give it a try for the hell of it….this was like weeks after hesitating so around very early March I decided to test out the show. I really thought I could just go in and come right back out. I was thinking that my curiosity wouldn’t get the better of me and it would just be curiosity, nothing more and nothing less…..I was so wrong about this………

This time Shikkie’s charm worked on me. The moment I saw him, I was smittened. At first I was in denial. I thought I was able to go back fangirling over Kim Bum again as if nothing happened. And I even tested out my thoery but I was wrong. I thought I was able to watch Ghost Doctor again like before but I couldn’t look at Kim Bum the same again even though I was holding onto the last that I left of him. I knew that it was over when I wasn’t smiling at Kim Bum like I was, I felt bored watching Ghost Doctor after so many times of rewatching it over and over again.

I knew that it was over but I still wanted to hold on, rather latch onto my old crush but I was changing pictures from Kim Bum to Park Hyungsik on all of my devices then I was starting to catch up on all of Shikkie’s shows that he’s been up to this point. I started to watch Strong Woman Do Bongsoon finally, then Happiness and I had to special order What Happens to my family cus I couldn’t watch that through VIKI cus it wasn’t in my region…….

And I started to watch his other shows like High Society, Re watched Hwarang, Soundtrack, Juror 8, The Heirs and Suits…..When I finally rewatched Hwarang, it was the opposite from back in 2016…..I was just more into watching Shikkie scenes.,,,,,,I made the conclusion that Shikkie really did save HWARANG along with his Bestie Park Seojoon. Oh and speaking of him I watched Friendcation because my fellow fangirl friend told me about it and I thank her a lot cus if it weren’t for her I would have completely missed Friendcation.

I’ve been fallen head over heels for Park Hyungsik, our dear Shikkie for five months now…..I’m gonna celebrate this day by just enjoying him……..watching his stuff, listening to his stuff…..eating his favorite food….maybe write some fanfics, fangirl with my fangirl friend……and day dream about him………..

HAPPY SHIKKIE DAY!
