‘Si Eun and Su Ho were in love': Weak Hero Class director reveals whether it's romance, leaves Park Ji Hoon stunned
Weak Hero Class 2 premiered, and while the show has been a bit disappointing for Manhwa fans, the K-drama is performing well globally. Season 1 also gained traction on Netflix as Season 2 wrapped up. However, instead of focusing on Si Eun's new bond with Baku and Gotak, fans are still holding on to the bromance between Si Eun and Su Ho, and now, even the director seems to have joined the conversation. During Netflix's Homecoming GV (Guest Visit), the cast from both seasons reunited to share their thoughts and experiences. Choi Hyun Wook couldn't stop gushing about his love for Park Ji Hoon. Meanwhile, director Yoo Soo Min recalled, telling the boys that their bond was giving off 'melodrama' vibes. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO Weak Hero Class director on whether the show was romance or bromance One of the biggest reasons behind Weak Hero Class 1's on-screen success was the bond between Choi Hyun Wook (Su Ho) and Park Ji Hoon (Si Eun). The pain of the bullied teenager, the long stares, the helplessness in their eyes, their meaningful friendship, the way a loner like Si Eun's face used to light up with Su Ho's presence, all of it made viewers deeply invested in their emotional storyline, despite the show being primarily an actioner. There were already theories running wild that the show intended to show more than just bromance, and now director Yoo has said, 'I think they were in love.' He revealed, 'I told the two actors that this was close to being a melodrama. I'm revealing this now, but I intended for that feeling,' Yoo Soo Min added. The sudden confession sparked a shocked reaction from Park Ji Hoon, who looked at the director in complete disbelief, and if that wasn't hilarious enough, Choi Hyun Wook almost slipped into talking 'love again' before stopping himself mid-sentence. The clip has since gone viral on social media. Si Eun and Su Ho's shippers weighed in, even in the original manhwa, their relationship never had a label; it was always left open for interpretation, whether it was romance or just an emotional bonding. 토끼놀람ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ — 치토낑୧୨ (@529_23) May 1, 2025 In Weak Hero Class 2, we see Su Ho's character in a coma for the entire run, and it's only in the final scene that he wakes up, with the show wrapping up without teasing anything about Season 3. During the reunion, Park Ji Hoon didn't shy away from calling Su Ho his character Si Eun's 'first love' and looked right at Choi Hyun Wook, who was smiling ear to ear. 'They're such special friends that, honestly, even if you wanted to forget them, you couldn't. It's like you keep looking for your friends subconsciously… for Si Eun, it's kind of like a first love, a little bit…' he said. He also added that the story wasn't just about the violence; it quietly wove a beautiful tale between the two characters. For Si Eun, it was always Su Ho, not even his parents could read him inside out the way Su Ho could. 📹 250501 #weakhero homecoming gv with #parkjihoon mc: watching weak hero class 2 gave that kind of feeling where suho just pierced right into my heart lately, or that beomseok just stuck to my mind like something sticky. that kind of feeling. so when you get to see these… — ₍ᐢ • ᴗ -ᐢ₎♡༘ (@parkjihoonfiles) May 1, 2025 Is Weak Hero class 3 happening While Netflix is yet to confirm a third season, according to the manhwa, it shouldn't happen, since it ends with Baek Jin's death. Many have theorised that Su Ho might join Eunjang alongside Si Eun and his new friends in their senior years. Even during the recent Netflix event, Choi Hyun Wook directly addressed the crowd and asked, 'Don't you want to see Su Ho and Baku together?' leading the director to flash a cross sign, as if he wasn't allowed to tease anything further. If a third season is on board, it will most likely be an original story.

After disappointing reviews of Weak Hero Class 2, fans theorise why Park Ji Hoon's K-drama will return for Weak Hero Class 3
After a wave of disappointment following Weak Hero Class 2's premiere on Netflix on April 25, fans have been left speculating whether the series will return with Weak Hero Class 3. While the second season didn't live up to the expectations of many, the lingering questions and unresolved storylines have sparked widespread theories about what might unfold next. From character arcs to potential plot twists, here's a look at why fans are hopeful and why they think Park Ji Hoon's Yeon Si Eun might return to redeem the series in its third season. Weak Hero Class 2 leaves fans disappointed Weak Hero Class 2 picks up where we left off with Yeon Si Eun, the sharp but physically weak high schooler who just can't seem to escape the chaos at Eunjang High. After turning a blind eye to a bunch of fights, Si Eun starts to stand up against bullies and ends up making friends while dealing with the school's dangerous social scene. As rival groups clash and power struggles heat up, Si Eun's quick thinking once again saves the day. However, many fans felt let down by the season, as the pacing seemed too rushed, the character arcs too complicated, and the overall execution lacking the finesse of the first season. Why do fans think there will be Weak Hero Class 3? Fans are pretty confident that Weak Hero Class 3 is on the horizon, especially after the way Season 2 wrapped up. Amid the ongoing buzz around the series, many believe the creators have already given us a glimpse of what's to come. Throughout the series, they've built up Seong Je (Lee Jun Young) as a major character, and with him appearing alongside Crime Lord, it seems likely they'll play a big role as the new antagonists. A lot of fans think Suho (Choi Hyun Wook) will rejoin Eunjang High after recovering from his coma, adjusting to his new life, and possibly clashing with Si Eun's new group of friends, especially Baku (Park Hu Min), who could have a really interesting dynamic with him. There's also a lot of speculation about Baek Jin (Bae Na Ra) and his death. In the webtoon, he dies in a car accident, but the reason for his death is not revealed. The post-scene credits hinted that Crime Lord, aka CEO Choi (Jo Jung Suk), may have played a role in his death after he failed to secure his shady business. However, fans are not buying it, as some think he might have faked his death. Some fans also think that if he was killed by someone, this could push Baku to seek revenge. The ending set up a ton of possible storylines, and fans are really hoping Season 3 will dive into them. After all, they're seniors now, so there's still room for the school theme to be a central part of the story, just like it was in the first season. Reacting to the possibilities of a third season, one fan on the Reddit subreddit r/WeakHero wrote, "I feel like a season 3 could definitely happen, and we could see some stories from the manhwa incorporated into the show. Like all the arcs that were missed. Like the whole business network Donald Na built in the manhwa (instead of some money-laundering bowling place he is in charge of) would be interesting to see. They could also do great things with what was missed. I really hope they consider another season." Another fan wrote, "If season 3 happens and Suho would be there, then it's going to be a weak hero class x twinkling watermelon. lmao." Notably, the second part already dropped many Twinkling Watermelon easter eggs that had fans craving for more. One Redditor added, "Definitely need an S3!!! Up until now, bullying and its varying degrees have been a central theme; in S3, they may shift focus from it. While Si-eun and friends going up against a real gangster seems quite unlikely, they could use it, and instead of solely focusing on reckless fighting, expand on Si-eun's strategy-making skills, incorporating complex strategies and elements that eventually do bring the gangster down. Or the gangster winning could also be an interesting plot twist-lesson & make way for more storylines." Check out more theories below: Weak Hero Class 1 and 2 are now streaming on Netflix.

Weak Hero Class 2 ending explained: Did Yeon Si Eun's Eunjang High defeat Union, what happens to Su Ho, and which key character dies in finale?
Weak Hero Class 2 ending explained: The Korean action thriller Weak Hero Class 2 premiered on Netflix on April 25, 2025, finally putting an end to the two-and-a-half-year wait for fans. Starring Park Ji Hoon, the first part of the series, released in November 2022, earned praise for its raw and realistic depiction of high school bullying in South Korea. The series follows Park Ji Hoon's Yeon Si Eun, a model student at the prestigious Byeoksan Middle School, known for being at the top of the class. Although he is a boy of petite stature, his integrity can make anyone feel small. He steers clear of distractions. And in the name of friends, he only has his books and pens. However, Si Eun's no-nonsense attitude gets on the nerves of the school bully, Jeon Yeong Bin (Kim So Gyeom), after he beats him in a math competition. Despite many attempts by Yeong Bin, Si Eun remains unfazed, protected by a nonchalant student, Ahn Su Ho (Choi Hyun Wook); however, his patience gets tested when Yeong Bin sets up a transfer student, Oh Beom Seok (Hong Kyung), to mess with him during exams. He loses his calm and attacks Yeong Bin using his sharp skills, landing him in the hospital. This sets a chain of events, making Si Eun, Su Ho, and Beom Seok an apparent target of a dangerous gang recruited by Yeong Bin to take them down. However, the trio's friendship is short-lived as Beom Seok misunderstands Su Ho's carefree nature and ends up setting him up while also harming Si Eun in the process. The first part ends with Su Ho in a coma and Yeon Si Eun transferring schools, while Beom Seok leaves the country. The second part kicks off with Si Eun trying to start fresh at Eunjang High, still weighed down by guilt over Su Ho, who remains in a coma. He manages to get through the first few months quietly, but then fails to overlook the mistreatment of his classmate Seo Jun Tae (Choi Young Min) at the hands of school bully Choi Hyo Man (Yoo Su Bin). As Si Eun and Jun Tae get pulled into trouble once again, they find unexpected allies in Go Hyeon Tak (Lee Min Jae) and Park Hu Min, aka Baku (Ryeo Un), the tough but good-natured stars of Eunjang High's basketball team. Along the way, Si Eun comes to realise that Hyo Man is just a small piece in a much larger bullying network, named the Union, run by Na Baek Jin (Bae Na Ra), Baku's childhood best friend, and his right-hand man, Geum Seong Jae (Lee Jun Young). These bullies report to CEO Choi (played by Jo Jung Suk), and their business is not limited to bullying; they perform illegal activities such as money laundering, carry out high-profile thefts, and shelter criminals. As the story unfolds, Si Eun and his friends face moral dilemmas, make dangerous choices, and ultimately decide to take down the Union to finish it once and for all. Weak Hero Class 2 Ending Explained: Did Si Eun and friends manage to take down the Union? The eighth and final episode builds to a dramatic showdown between Eunjang High and the Union. The clash is triggered by a high-stakes bet between Baku and Na Baek Jin: if Eunjang wins, the Union must leave the students alone—but if Baek Jin wins, Eunjang High becomes part of the Union, advancing his plan to expand their money laundering operation. The final showdown between Eunjang High and Union Approximately 300 boys gather at an empty field on the outskirts of the city for the epic clash. But Si Eun, being the geek he is, does not believe that all battles are fought on the field. In the earlier episode, he conspired with the union member Geum Seong Jae to take down the entire system after Seong Jae had a fight with Baek Jin and distanced himself from the entire fiasco. He shares the details of their burner account with Si Eun, gaining his trust and posing as a threat to Baek Jin. On D-Day, before heading for the fight, Si Eun meets Seong Jae, who lures him on the pretext of sharing more inside details but ultimately sets up a trap for him. When Jun Tae realises Si Eun has been missing, he runs back to the bowling alley to find him. In the meantime, Baku and Baek Jin, once inseparable, go head-to-head while their past friendship flashes back in front of their eyes, bringing a sense of remorse and guilt to former friends. However, the show must go on. After putting up a strong fight, Baku's body seems to give up as he soon lies unconscious on the ground. Just when Baek Jin was about to declare the Union's victory, Si Eun attacks Baek Jin in his signature style, which has more to do with science than throwing fists. He holds the ground for a while but falls short in front of monstrous Baek Jin, who has nothing but a win on his mind. However, just when Si Eun gives in, Baku rises from the ground, a plan they had orchestrated in advance, and takes down Baek Jin, ensuring Eunjang High's victory over Union. Yeon Si Eun reunites with Ahn Su Ho The Union has now been dismantled, while students at Eunjang High only have classes and the president's election to worry about. One year later, Si Eun gets the most awaited call of his life. He sprints to find Su Ho awake from the coma, his lifeless eyes suddenly filling with warmth as he sees his best friend. The credits then start rolling down after the heartwarming reunion, hinting at a happy ending. Post-credits scene: Which key character dies in the end? But the post-credits scene adds a final twist. Since the fight, Na Baek Jin has vanished, with most assuming he went into hiding after his defeat. That changes when CEO Choi shows up at the Union's hideout and offers Se Jeong a new role—taking over as his right-hand man in running the shady operation. When Se Jeong asks about Baek Jin, the scene cuts to a somber funeral, revealing that Baek Jin was seemingly killed by CEO Choi for failing to protect his interests. The series ends with Si Eun, Baku, Jun Tae, and Hyeon Tak attending Baek Jin's funeral. Weak Hero Class 2 is now available to stream on Netflix.

Weak Hero Class 2 release date and time in India: When will Park Ji Hoon's action-packed K-drama release on Netflix?
Weak Hero Class 2 release date and time in India: The fans of Weak Hero are buzzing with excitement as it's the D-Day—we're just a few hours away from the release of Weak Hero Class 2. The Park Ji Hoon starrer, which sees the transformation of a model student to a weak hero after facing school bullying, has been touted as one of the most anticipated K-dramas of 2025, after the unprecedented success of Weak Hero Class 1. In recent years, Netflix has upped their game when it comes to delivering quality K-content, producing originals like The Trunk, Karma, Melo Movie, and the fan-favourite When Life Gives You Tangerines. The streamer is now all set to take it a notch higher with the release of Weak Hero Class 2. While Netflix initially didn't have the rights to the action thriller, the first part was originally released on Korea's homegrown streaming service, Wavve, and the second part has been produced exclusively by the streamer. The first chapter in the series also premiered on Netflix on March 25, just a month ahead of the new part's release. Meet the cast of Weak Hero Class 2: real names, plot details & new teaser inside The series follows Yeon Si Eun, a brilliant student at Byuksan High School, who unknowingly becomes a target of the bullies. Despite his weak physical features, Si Eun protects himself with his sharp reflexes, making use of his knowledge of physics. As he refuses to submit to bullies, things get intense and darker, and Si Eun gets entangled in a dangerous world where lives just cost a few bucks. However, in his pursuit of justice, he finds support in his classmates Ahn Soo Ho (Choi Hyun Wook) and Oh Beom Seok (Hong Kyung). However, their friendship does not stand the test of time, as Beom Seok soon turns against Soo Ho and, willingly or unwillingly, also ends up dragging Si Eun into what he sees as revenge. The first part ends with Soo Ho ending up in a coma as he takes on the bullies after learning about Beom Seok setting up a trap for him, which Si Eun hides from him and takes the hit in his stead. The teaser for Weak Hero Class 2 picks up things from the heartbreaking finale of season 1, which saw Soo Ho still in a coma while Si Eun was forced to transfer schools and Beom Seok prepared to leave the country. Si Eun is now in Eunjang High, but it has darker forces than his previous schools, including those connected to the underworld. This prompts Si Eun to once again don his weak hero role—will he manage to pull himself together and put up a new fight? Only the new chapter will tell. Weak Hero Class 2 preview The preview starts with a school bully, played by Yoo Su Bin, lashing out in the name of a student, Seo Jun Tae (played by Choi Min Young of XO, Kitty fame). As Jun Tae gets mercilessly beaten, Si Eun first watches in silence, but suddenly his past comes haunting as it reminds him of the bullying he, Soo Ho, and Beom Seok faced. He then interrupts the bully, telling him, "You're too loud," and asking him to "not cross the line"—and voluntarily getting involved in this new chapter despite the consequences of his past. Weak Hero Class 2 release time in India: When will the new season drop on Netflix? How many episodes will there be in Weak Hero Class 2? In line with part 1, the second installment is presumed to have eight episodes. It's expected that all episodes will drop together; however, nothing has been confirmed.
