Weak Hero Class 2 is the second installment of the popular South Korean high school series starring Park Ji Hoon in the leading role. The first look of the series has been released ahead of its much-anticipated release, creating excitement among fans ten-fold. The plot of the series follows a student who fights against bullies to protect his loved ones.

On February 4, 2025, Netflix released the first-ever still cuts from Weak Hero Class 2. In the images, Park Ji Hoon can be seen fighting head-on with Lee Jun Young, a student who is the leader of an all-powerful group in the school that bullies weaker students. Moreover, in the show lineup video released by the production team, a clip of Weak Hero Class 2 was also included where both characters engage in intense hand-to-hand combat.

Park Ji Hoon reprises his role as Yeon Si Eun, a reserved student at Eunjang High School who prioritizes academics over socializing. However, his life takes a drastic turn when he unexpectedly gets entangled in a world of violence.

Along the way, he forms meaningful friendships with new classmates, including Park Hu Min, played by Ryeoun, known for Sparkling Watermelon and currently starring in Namib. He also grows close to Seo Jun Tae (Choi Hyun Wook) and Go Hyun Tak (Lee Min Jae), setting the stage for a gripping journey of camaraderie and conflict.

However, his transfer to a new school leads to intense confrontations with the Union, a powerful group that poses a significant threat to Si Eun. Actors Bae Na Ra and Lee Jun Young bring to life the crucial characters Na Baek Jin and Geum Sung Je, adding more curiosity to the intriguing plot.

Weak Hero Class 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the hit webtoon-based drama Weak Hero Class 1, continues Yeon Si Eun’s intense journey. After failing to protect a close friend, he transfers to Eunjang High School, carrying the weight of that trauma. As he navigates his new environment, Yeon Si Eun is forced to confront even greater violence. Determined not to repeat the past, he fights to protect his newfound friends while growing stronger in the face of relentless challenges.

The show is slated to premiere in the second quarter of 2025.
