“Weak Hero Class 2” will continue to follow the journey of Yeon Si Eun as he transfers to Eunjang High School with the trauma of being unable to protect his friend. At his new school, Yeon Si Eun matures while struggling to survive and faces off against even greater violence as he resolves not to lose his friends again.

The actor shared, “My heart is already pounding. ‘Weak Hero Class 1’ is an important project that landed me my first rookie award as an actor. I will work hard to show a new side of me and how I’ve matured for those who waited with anticipation.”
The photos shared by Netflix also highlight the new cast members who will join as Yeon Si Eun’s new friends at Eunjang High School. Ryeoun will take on the role of Park Hoo Min, Choi Min Yeong will play Seo Joon Tae, and Lee Min Jae will portray Go Hyun Tak.
