‘Weak Hero Class 2’ is a story of survival and brilliant growth that unfolds as model student Yeon Si-eun(played by Park Ji-hoon)transfers to Eunjang High School with the trauma of standing up to violence for her friend but failing to protect him in the end, and confronts even greater violence because she cannot lose her friend again.

Lee Jun-young plays the role of Geumseong-je, a free spirit who does not want to belong anywhere or to anyone and only wanders around looking for fun in ‘Weak Hero Class 2’.He is a witty but somehow cool ‘my-pace’ person who seems closest to the leader of the Iljin Alliance.

In the released episode, Geumseongje first appeared playing a game in a PC room.When Geumseongje heard a voice badmouthing him from across the room, he walked over to him without hesitation and beat him mercilessly before calmly returning to his seat and going back to playing the game, revealing his cruel side.

When he first met Yeon Si-eun, Geum Sung-jae gave viewers chills as he swung his fist at her with a faint smile on his face.In the bloody fight scene on the rooftop, he perfectly performed intense action scenes reminiscent of a real fight, heightening the sense of immersion.

Lee Jun-young in ‘Weak Hero Class 2’ has been completely absorbed into the extremely evil villain Geumseongje, successfully transforming his acting once again and adding a life character.He has proven his worth as a ‘trustworthy actor’ once again with his cool and creepy villain acting P continuing the ‘handsome trash’ modifier he earned through works such as’ D ‘,’ Mask Girl ‘, and’ Brave Citizen ‘.

Lee Jun-young, who left a strong impression as a deserter in the 2021 Netflix series’ D’ P also left an unrivaled presence by perfectly portraying a villainous character in the Netflix series ‘Masked Girl’ and the movie ‘Brave Citizen’.In the Netflix series ‘Melo Movie’ released in February, he played the role of Hong Si-jun, a composer who prides himself on being a genius but is actually an unknown composer, and he played an ex-lover whose emotions move at different speeds, drawing real empathy.

In ‘Cheated on You’, which has become a syndrome-level hit, taking over the Netflix Top 10 in 39 countries around the world, he stole the hearts of global viewers by playing the pure and honest Young-beom who only looks at his girlfriend Geum-myeong(played by IU).From a sweet couple that makes your heart flutter to a heartbreaking breakup after a long-term relationship, he once again proved his limitless character digestion ability by delivering touching scenes of pure love.

Meanwhile, Lee Jun-young will meet viewers through KBS2’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘24 Hour Health Club’, which will air for the first time on the 30th.
