Park Ji Hoon reveals what made him cry while watching Weak Hero Class 2: ‘Yeon Si Eun made me…'
Park Ji Hoon's performance in Weak Hero Class 2 is nothing short of powerful — it's what makes the show hit so hard. As Yeon Si Eun, he doesn't just play a top student and fighter; he brings to life a boy carrying deep pain, hope, and vulnerability all at once. Weak Hero Class 2 pulls back the curtain to show us the emotional battles Yeon Si Eun (played by Park Ji Hoon) faces within himself. The stoic kid who always stood strong against violence is now confronting his fears, regrets, and the pressure of protecting those he cares about. During an interview with Daum, Park Ji Hoon was asked if he shared tears when the Weak Hero Class 2 cast watched the series. The Moon & Back singer turned actor shares some interesting information. "I haven't fully let go of Yeon Si Eun yet; he's still in my heart. I cried because I was relieved to see Yeon Si Eun smile. Unlike the rage-filled ending of Weak Hero Class 1, Weak Hero Class 2 gave me a sense of relief. I felt the cast and crew's shared goal, and as someone who played Yeon Si Eun, I felt both pity and hope for his growth." He adds, "Those complex emotions brought tears. Watching Weak Hero Class 1 again after Weak Hero Class 2's release still makes me emotional. Playing Yeon Si Eun has impacted me deeply." So when Yeon Si Eun finally breaks down in tears, it's not just a dramatic moment — it's a breakthrough that feels real and raw. Those moments where Yeon Si Eun cries brought a sense of relief, a stark contrast to the raw anger that closed Season 1. For Park Ji Hoon, those tears were more than acting, they were the embodiment of Yeon Si Eun's journey, a character who left a real mark on him. The story of Weak Hero Class 2 revolves around a student haunted by a past failure: standing up for a friend and losing. This trauma shapes the challenges Yeon Si Eun faces at Eunjang High, making his tears even more powerful. They're not just sadness — they're a symbol of a boy who refuses to lose again, balancing pain, friendship, and hope all at once.

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 drops hillarious Twinkling Watermelon callbacks referencing Ryeo Un and Choi Hyun Wook, and fans are losing it!
Weak Hero Class 2 just dropped on Netflix, and fans are already piecing together wild connections — and hilarious Twinkling Watermelon callbacks have taken over the K-drama fandom by storm. The newly released season brought back Park Ji Hoon's iconic character, Yeon Si Eun, but it also introduced some fresh faces, including Park Hu Min, aka Baku, played by Ryeo Un. While the action and grit are still very much intact, viewers quickly caught on to a surprising meta moment that sent K-drama Twitter into a frenzy. How are Weak Hero Class 2 and Twinkling Watermelon connected? In Weak Hero Class 1 and 2, Choi Hyun Wook played Ahn Soo Ho, Yeon Si Eun's fiercely loyal best friend. But if you've seen Twinkling Watermelon, you'll recognise him as Ha Yi Chan, the young dad in that time-slip drama. Now, Twinkling Watermelon's Ryeo Un has joined the Weak Hero universe as Bako — and here's the kicker: in Twinkling Watermelon, Ryeo Un played Ha Eun Gyeol, Ha Yi Chan's son. So when Ryeo Un as Bako in Weak Hero Class 2 casually tells Yeon Si Eun, 'You're acting like my dad,' fans immediately connected the dots. The reference hit like a truck, considering Choi Hyun Wook was Si Eun's best friend in season 1 and also played Bako's dad in a totally different universe. Fans also lost it when Yeon Si Eun and Bako first came face-to-face — naturally, in the middle of a brawl, as expected in classic Weak Hero style. Bako, the standout basketball ace at Eunjang High, steps in during a tense showdown between Si Eun and Ko Hyeon Tak (Lee Min Jae) and Choi Hyo Man (Yoo Soo Bin). While he recognises most of the crowd, he pauses when he sees Si Eun and casually goes, 'Who are you? I've never seen you before.' i swear weak hero class 2 did a twinkling watermelon reference when baku said he was acting like his dad. That one line was all it took for fans to spiral. One fan joked, 'THAT'S YOUR ALTERNATE UNIVERSE'S FATHER'S REAL HUSBAND IN THIS UNIVERSE,' referencing the ongoing fan-fueled ship between Yeon Si Eun and Ahn Soo Ho from season 1 'and who are you? i've never seen you before?' BITCH THAT'S YOUR ALTERNATE UNIVERSE'S FATHER'S REAL HUSBAND IN THIS UNIVERSE #weakheroclass2 #weakheroclassspoilers #weakheroclass In another easter egg, Baku plays the music from Twinkling Watermelon before announcing his entry, and that's how fans knew they were in for a crossover. not baku playing music for himself before his entry for the ✨main character ✨vibes and then stopped it after he beat hyoman for bullying others. WHAT A ENTRY😂❤️#약한영웅Class2 #WeakHeroClass2 #WeakHeroClass2Ep2 #ryeoun About Weak Hero Class 2 Picking up after the explosive events of Season 1, Weak Hero Class 2 follows Yeon Si Eun as he transfers to a new school, Eunjang High, to start over. But peace doesn't last long in his world as bullies, rival gangs, and new alliances pull him right back into the chaos, and this time, it's grittier than ever. About Twinkling Watermelon Ha Eun Gyeol, a CODA (child of deaf adults), leads a double life as a top student and secret guitarist. When he time-travels back to 1995, he meets his teenage dad, Ha Yi Chan, who's rebellious and dream-chasing. Eun Gyeol forms a band with his dad and discovers a new side of his family while navigating the challenges of altering the past. Whether the Twinkling Watermelon references in Weak Hero Class 2 are intentional easter eggs or just happy casting coincidences, K-drama watchers are happy to watch their two worlds collide.
