’ Weak Hero Class 2 ‘, which will be released on the 25th, depicts the story of model student Yeon Si-eun(Park Ji-hoon), who transfers to Eunjanggo with the trauma of standing up to violence for his friend but failing to protect him in the end, and what happens as he confronts even greater violence because he cannot lose his friend again.
The released character stills pique curiosity with the new faces that Yeon Si-eun(Park Ji-hoon) encounters as she confronts greater violence inside and outside of school. First, the changed atmosphere of Yeon Si-eun captured in the trashy school’ Eunjanggo ‘arouses interest. Yeon Si-eun, who is deeply wounded by her failure to protect her friend, seems to have lost her smile and returned to the time before she met Ahn Soo-ho(Choi Hyun-wook). Meanwhile, Yeon Si-eun’ s intense gaze as she takes out her pencil case and prepares for battle hints at the fierce fight that is yet to end.
The passionate chemistry of the three members of Eunjanggo, Ryeoun, Choi Min-young, and Lee Min-jae, who will make Yeon Si-eun smile again, is also exciting. Ryeoun, who is completely immersed in the role of the righteous captain Park Hu-min, who is responsible for the order of Eunjanggo, steals the spotlight with his extraordinary aura. Park Hu-min is a famous power owner called Baku, but he is also a person with a strong sense of justice. He approaches Yeon Si-eun with his characteristic friendliness and together they fight against violence to protect their precious friends.
Ryeoun, who gained over 10kg to create the character of Park Hu-min with a stocky physique, said, “Park Hu-min is a character with strong convictions,” and “I was touched by the friendship of the children who faced greater violence to protect their friend. I was especially attracted to Park Hu-min’s warm heart and sense of justice.”
Choi Min-young, who will portray Seo Jun-tae’s growth in a three-dimensional way, said, “I tried to find Jun-tae’s unique strength that stimulates the strongest characters even though he appears weaker than anyone else,” conveying her efforts to build the character.
Lee Min-jae, who expressed his confidence by saying, “I personally prepared hard for the action scenes that I am confident in,” plays the role of Go Hyun-tak, a loyal and close friend of Park Hu-min and a strong man of action. His appearance as a former taekwondo athlete stands out in his nimble attack stance.
Here, the role of Na Baek-jin P the pinnacle of the alliance that constantly threatens the four members of the Silver Janggo gang, is played by Bae Na-ra, who received favorable reviews in season 2 of’ D ‘Bae Na-ra said, “Na Baek-jin has a smart mind and great fighting skills. I studied a lot on an action style that is fast and light, but has a solid punch,” stimulating curiosity.
The character of Geumseongje, played by Lee Jun-young, is a free spirit who does not want to belong anywhere or to anyone and only seeks fun. Her witty but somehow cool smile makes us anticipate Geumseongje’ s extraordinary performance even more. Lee Jun-young described Geumseongje as “a character who is so unpredictable that she has the nickname ‘adrenaline slave.’”
