Hyungsik expressed his fear to date during his SBS 'Healing Camp' appearance on August 10.

He said, "Only I get bad comments if a dating rumor comes up.  I'm of the thought that dating rumor equals something bad.  It's a shameful fact in itself that I can't try dating anymore now that I'm 26, but it's also true that I'm scared to date publicly," perhaps suggesting that rather than dating for fun, he could only date more seriously, but he was scared to even do that.

"I'm also worried that that label will follow me even after a break up," he continued.  "Rather than wanting to date, I think I'm more scared even now."  The viewers gave him courage after hearing his words, telling him to go ahead and date!
