Actor Park Ji Hoon is back, and he’s tougher than ever in Weak Hero Class 2. The popular K-drama is set to hit Netflix on April 25, 2025, and new stills just released have fans buzzing with excitement. After the gripping first season, this sequel follows Yeon Si Eun, played by Park Ji Hoon, as he steps into a new school filled with danger and hope. Can he protect his friends this time, or will history repeat itself? Here’s everything you need to know about this thrilling next chapter.
The first season of Weak Hero Class left viewers hooked with its raw look at school violence and friendship. It followed Yeon Si Eun, a quiet but brilliant student who fought back against bullies with his sharp mind and fierce spirit. Now, in season two, he’s starting over at Eunjang High School, carrying the heavy pain of losing a friend he couldn’t save.
Netflix Korea dropped some intense new stills that give a sneak peek into what’s coming. In one image, Park Ji Hoon stands in his school uniform, facing off with someone. His eyes are sharp, and his stance screams tension—maybe a fight or a heated clash is about to go down. Another still catches him mid-action, throwing punches or dodging a hit, showing he’s still ready to battle.
Then there’s a shot with Ryeoun, who plays Park Hu Min, a strong and fair leader at the school. He looks steady and calm, hinting he’ll be a key ally for Yeon Si Eun. Another image shows Park Ji Hoon side by side with Choi Min Yeong, who plays Seo Jun Tae. Their faces are frozen in shock, like something big just happened. And the final still? It’s Lee Jun Young as Geum Seong Je, the new troublemaker. His small, creepy smile says he’s bad news—and fans can’t wait to see him stir things up.
Netflix captioned these stills with a line that hits hard: “New school, new friends, new conflicts. The desperate survival and brilliant growth of children who have to fight to protect themselves.” That sums up the heart of Weak Hero Class 2 perfectly.
This season picks up after the tragic end of season one. Yeon Si Eun moves to Eunjang High School to escape his past, but the past doesn’t let go so easily. He’s still shaken by what happened to his friend Ahn Su Ho, who ended up in a coma after a brutal attack. Now, at his new school, rumors spread fast. One classmate whispers, “I heard he transferred here after killing someone.” When Seo Jun Tae tells him not to worry about it, Yeon Si Eun says something chilling:
“It’s not a rumor.”
That line alone shows how deep his scars run. He’s not just fighting bullies—he’s fighting his own guilt.
But it’s not all dark. At Eunjang High, he meets new friends who start to break through his walls. Park Hu Min, played by Ryeoun, is a tough guy with a good heart who keeps order at school. Seo Jun Tae, played by Choi Min Yeong, is loyal and tries to lift Yeon Si Eun up. And Go Hyun Tak, played by Lee Min Jae, adds warmth to the group. Together, they pull him out of his shell. In the teaser, he says something that tugs at the heart:
“I had forgotten… how great it is to have friends.”
These friendships give him a reason to fight harder. He’s done losing people he cares about, and he’s ready to stand up to anyone who threatens them.
Of course, trouble’s never far away. Lee Jun Young steps in as Geum Seong Je, the leader of a group called the Union. This guy’s wild and unpredictable—someone who lives for the thrill of chaos. The teaser shows him clashing with Yeon Si Eun in a brutal fight, and their showdown looks like it’ll be a highlight of the season. Yeon Si Eun even warns him:
“Don’t cross the line.”
That’s classic Yeon Si Eun—calm until you push him too far.
The stills and teaser promise a mix of intense action and real emotion. Park Ji Hoon brings everything to this role—pain, strength, and a quiet hope that shines through his tough exterior. Ryeoun, Choi Min Yeong, and Lee Min Jae add heart to the story, while Lee Jun Young keeps the stakes high as the new enemy.
Fans are already counting down to April 25. The first season was a hit for its real take on school life and its jaw-dropping fight scenes, and season two looks even bigger. Director You Su Min is back, working with executive producer Han Jun Hee, so the action’s going to be top-notch. Plus, there’s a rumor that Jo Jung Suk might pop in for a cameo, which has everyone talking.
Will Yeon Si Eun finally find peace, or will he lose everything again? The new stills leave that question hanging, making the wait for the premiere feel endless. One thing’s for sure—this season’s going to be a wild ride.
