Tving original ‘Study Group’ (directed by Lee Jang-hoon and Yoo Beom-sang, written by Eom Seon-ho and Oh Bo-hyun) has announced a high level of character synchronization that you can‘t take your eyes off of for even a second.

On the 20th, the production team of ‘Study Group’ released a character highlight video that gives a glimpse into the various activities of Yoon Ga-min (played by Hwang Min-hyun), Lee Han-kyung (played by Han Ji-eun), Pi Han-ul (played by Cha Woo-min), Kim Se-hyun (played by Lee Jong-hyun), Lee Ji-woo (played by Shin Soo-hyun), Choi Hee-won (played by Yoon Sang-jung), and Lee Joon (played by Gong Do-yoo).

‘Study Group’ is a comical high school action film about Yoon Ga-min (played by Hwang Min-hyun), who wants to study hard but is only good at fighting, forming a ‘Study Group’ while taking on the bloody college entrance exams at the worst school in the universe. The thrilling action and impact added to the story of Yoon Ga-min, a ‘hidden nerd who chooses to fight in order to study, and the students, each with their own stories, trying to protect their study group, will provide catharsis. It is based on a popular webtoon of the same name.

In the character highlight video released by the production team, Yoon Ga-min, an unstoppable ‘study nerd’, enters Yuseong Technical High School with the sole purpose of going to college. Contrary to expectations, his grades are at the bottom even at the universe’s most nerd school. So Yoon Ga-min pulls out the last card he has never tried before. In this way, Yoon Ga-min emerges as the ‘new type of crazy’ of Yuseong Technical High School at the same time as the study group recruitment notice that turns the school upside down. Will Yoon Ga-min, the ‘clear-eyed crazy’ (clear-eyed crazy) who sets out to find the ‘eyes to study’, be able to successfully form a study group? His fiery and refreshing activities are anticipated.


Lee Han-kyung, who has been appointed as the homeroom teacher of Class 4, Grade 1, is also exciting to adapt to Yuseong Technical High School. Lee Han-kyung is the very definition of ‘soft on the outside, strong on the inside’, and doesn‘t give in to Yoon Ga-min’s worried questions. His ambition to fix the school‘s problems through the study group is met with sarcasm, saying, “The moment you leave the study group, your contract with this teacher is over too.” However, Lee Han-kyung’s firm gaze, which criticizes the abnormal operation of the school and says, “No one can give up,” makes us curious about the change he will bring about. The atmosphere of Pi Han-ul, the top of the rankings at Yooseong Technical High School, heightens the tension. Pi Han-ul, who leisurely watches the bloody ranking battle, is an absolute being that everyone fears. Pi Han-ul‘s meaningful appearance, which keeps a close eye on Yoon Ga-min, foreshadows a fiery confrontation between the two and stimulates interest.

The extraordinary aspects of the study group members with the “eyes for studying” that Yoon Ga-min ‘picked’ has also been interesting. Kim Se-hyun, who was the first to be caught on Yoon Ga-min’s radar, finds his active courtship simply annoying. It‘s because it’s hard enough just to endure each day at Yooseong Technical High School where fights are rampant. The change of the first member, Kim Se-hyun, who is the brain, but desperately needs survival more than studying, raises expectations. Lee Ji-woo‘s ‘girl crush’ performance, where she says, “I thought you said I was the only one who could hit you,” and suppresses the flying hand, also draws attention.


Choi Hee-won begins to gain courage as he wants to help Lee Ji-woo, who has always received help. Choi Hee-won’s ‘smart’ unexpected charm, which used to seem shy, is lovable. Lee Joon, who was fascinated by Yoon Ga-min‘s strength, who unsealed her hidden strength, came to the study group on his own two feet and wonders if he will be able to achieve his dream of conquering Yuseong High School. People are already looking forward to the performance of the study group as they jump into the truly bloody college entrance exam war with Yoon Ga-min. In particular, attention is focused on the fiery acting transformation of Hwang Min-hyun, who exploded with action instinct, and the birth of a new rising star.

‘Study Group’ will be exclusively released on Tving on the 23rd.
