Weak Hero Class 2 picks up directly after the harrowing events of the first season. Yeon Si-eun, a brilliant yet physically unassuming student, is left reeling from the traumatic loss of his friend Ahn Su-ho (Choi Hyun-wook), who remains in a coma following a brutal confrontation.

The betrayal by Oh Beom-seok (Hong Kyung) further compounds Si-eun's emotional turmoil, leading him to transfer to Eunjang High School for a fresh start and a chance at redemption.

At Eunjang, Si-eun is determined to avoid repeating past mistakes. However, he quickly discovers that the new environment presents challenges, including a more dangerous hierarchy of violence and intimidation. The trailer reveals Si-eun's internal struggle as he grapples with guilt and the desire to protect his new friends while confronting the school's brutal realities.

Weak Hero Class 2 introduces new characters who will play pivotal roles in Si-eun's journey of vengeance as he locks horns with the biggest goon association in school. Ryeoun (from Twinkling Watermelon) joins the cast as Park Hu-min, a mysterious student with his own hidden depths.

Choi Min-young ( from XO, Kitty) portrays Seo Jun-tae, a nerd who seems to be the heart of the group. Lee Jae takes on the role of Go Hyun-tak, adding further complexity to the dynamic student body at Eunjang High.

Central to the season's conflict is the emergence of the "Union," a powerful group that exerts control over the school's social order. Geum Seong-jae, portrayed by Lee Jun-young (from Melo Movie), is a key figure in this organization. His cold and calculating demeanor contrasts with Si-eun's quiet resilience, setting the stage for a clash of ideologies and wills.

The official teaser of Weak Hero Class 2 delves into the psychological scars that Si-eun carries from his past experiences. Si-eun's solemn voiceover:

"Su-ho, I got into another fight. I'm sorry."

This introspective element adds a layer of depth to the narrative, highlighting the complexities of healing and the challenges of forging new connections in the aftermath of trauma.

Meanwhile, the official trailer, released on April 11, 2025, examines the three other lead actors in Season 2 closely.

Ryeoun's character, Park Hu-min, is seen mirroring Su-ho's character from the preceding season, who protects the weak and his friends. However, Season 2's villain association, the "Union," headed by Na Baek-Jin (Bae Na-ra), has been trying to recruit him for years.

Park Hu-min's voiceover suggests that Weak Hero Class 2 would be more about fighting some bullies and give viewers a closer look at the dark sides of each of the lead cast members.

"Do you really have no idea why I don't take part in this? Without an action, there won't be a reaction," Park Hu-min says.

Returning from the first season, Director Yoo Soo-min aims to build upon the series' foundation by exploring these themes more profoundly. The production team has expressed their commitment to delivering a season that intensifies the action and provides a nuanced portrayal of the characters' emotional journeys.
