After an agonising prolonged wait, Weak Hero Class 2 has officially locked a release date for its OTT premiere. The good news is, Park Ji Hoon-led gripping Korean school action drama is coming this month!
Once a model student, Park Ji Hoon’s Yeon Si Eun is now riddled with trauma. Having made friends who are close to his heart last season, together, they fought against school violence, only to lose them in the end. With a new school year approaching, Si Eun is headed for a new beginning. However, in this case, it doesn’t mean that he’ll finally get the opportunity to relinquish his past baggage. On the contrary, new school means a newer, even greater threat.
Weak Hero Class 2 release date, streaming details
The upcoming sequel to hit K-drama that premiered in 2022 is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on Friday, April 25, 2025. Weak Hero Class 1, which first rolled out at the 27th Busan International Film Festival three years ago, also started streaming on Netflix on March 25.
The beloved Korean teenage action drama, originally billed as Wavve Original, has since witnessed a resurgence. Just days after its Netflix release, it ranked No 3 globally on Netflix’s TV chart, according to FlixPatrol, a streaming analytics platform.

Weak Hero Class 2 cast
On April 2, Netflix released the Weak Hero Class 2 teaser trailer, which shows Park Ji Hoon’s character arriving at Eunjang High School. The emotionally bruised protagonist makes new friends, including Park Hu Min (Twinkling Watermelon’s Ryeoun), Seo Jun Tae (Twenty-Five Twenty-One’s Choi Min Yeong), and Go Hyun Tak (Kick Kick Kick Kick’s Lee Min Jae).
On the flip side, he’ll be butting heads with foes like Choi Hyo Man (Crash Landing on You’s Yoo Su Bin), Na Baek Jin (Evilive’s Bae Na Ra), and Geum Seong Je (When Life Gives You Tangerines’ Lee Jun Young).
Weak Hero Class 1 director You Su Min and executive producer Han Jun Hee join forces yet again to grant fans a gritty showcase packed with rising young K-drama stars. Exploring universal themes of teenage life and friendship, Weak Hero Class 2 brings back Park Ji Hoon’s headstrong attitude. The leading teaser poster focusses on Si Eun’s growth as a subtext, while simultaneously establishing the violent context of the webtoon-based K-drama series through the leading star’s bruised countenance.
