Weak Hero Class 2 full cast: From Park Ji-hoon to Lee Jun-young
'Weak Hero Class 2' introduces a fresh wave of characters and talented actors who bring the Netflix K-drama to life. Here are the major cast members you'll encounter in this next chapter:
Park Ji-hoon returns to the series to reprise as Yeon Si-eun – the former model student who attends the troubled Eunjang High School. Although he is still reeling from his guilt from the events of season 1, Si-eun finds himself in the middle of a notorious gang's turf war. Park is an actor and South Korean singer who was a former member of the project group Wanna One. His first big break was in the 2019 historical K-drama 'Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency.'
At the beginning of the second season, Jun-tae is the head lackey for school bully Choi Hyo-man, who helps him steal the phones of Eungang students. Min-yeong is best known for playing Dae in the rom-com series XO, Kitty.
Baku is the strongest at Eunjang High and the head of the Basketball club. He also has a reputation as a fighter. While also being good-natured, he has tried to make Eunjang a peaceful place, but he has unfinished business with Union leader Na Baek-jin. The clash may push the school back into violence. Ryeoun made his acting debut in 2017 and got his big break in romance and youth web series. His best work was for his main role in the 2023 fantasy drama 'Twinkling Watermelon.'
Gotak is Baku's teammate and best friend, who also has a history with Baekjin and the Union. Min-jae rose to fame with his performance as Seo Geon-hu in the 2023 drama 'Crash Course in Romance.'
Na Baek-jin is the leader of the Union – a rowdy gang of students from local high schools. Being one of the best fighters in the area, he is determined to bring Eunjang and his childhood friend Baku under his control. Bae Na-ra debuted as a musical actor in 2013 in stage productions such as Kinky Boots, Grease, West Side Story, and Evil Dead The Musical. His silver screen acting began with the K-drama 'D.P.'
Seong-je is Baek-jin's chaotic evil lieutenant in the Union. Jun-young began his career as a K-pop idol in the group U-KISS in 2014. He has also starred in various movies since 2017, like 'Imitation' and 'Love and Leashes.'
The Eunjang bully, who confronted Si-eun in the season 1 finale, returns in the new season. Yu Su-bin is best known for portraying Kim Ju-muk in the romance K-drama 'Crash Landing on You.'
Si-eun regularly visits his best friend Su-ho, who is still in coma since the events of the first season. Hyun-wok has skyrocketed to fame with fan favourites like 'Racket Boys' and 'Twenty-Five Twenty-One.'
The timid third member of season 1's trio, he is lingering in Si-eun's thoughts. Kyung is a Baeksang Arts Award-winning actor, known popularly for his roles in K-dramas like 'School 2017' and 'Lovers of the Red Sky.'

Stranger Things 5 hype is already breaking records, but are fans actually still into it?
Stranger Things is back (well, almost), and it is already rewriting the streaming rulebook, at least, according to Netflix. The final season, set to hit screens this November, just racked up a jaw-dropping 250 million impressions on Netflix's socials in just four days. That's more than any other show announcement in platform history. Insane, right? Stranger Things 5 is breaking records before it even drops, but is the hype real? But not everyone is buying the Upside Down hype. While the numbers are objectively wild, some fans are starting to question if the excitement is still genuine, or if Netflix is simply winning the marketing game and juicing algorithms for maximum clout. A long wait, a three-part drop, and a lot of raised eyebrows The announcement came during Netflix's Tudum event in LA, where it was revealed that Stranger Things 5 will be released in three parts — four episodes on 26 November, three more on Christmas Day, and a final goodbye on 31 December. New Year's Eve with Vecna? Sure. But it is been over four years since Season 4. Some longtime fans are thrilled. Others? Not so much. Reddit threads and TikTok comments are loaded with a mix of "finally!" and "do we even care anymore?" The wait has been brutal, and some viewers feel like the momentum has flatlined. The story so far, but is it still gripping? Season 5 picks up in the fall of 1987, with Hawkins in pieces after the Rift disaster. The town's in quarantine, the military is sniffing around for Eleven, and Vecna is MIA, but definitely not gone. The stakes are higher, the darkness is deeper, and the full cast is back for one last ride. Sounds epic on paper, sure. But let's be real, after years of delays, cast ageing out of their roles, and the explosion of other breakout shows (hello, The Last of Us), Stranger Things has a lot to prove. Is the finale going to live up to its legacy… or collapse under the weight of its own hype?
