"Ga-min (played by Hwang Min-hyun) really wants to do season 2, and everyone wants to do it. I heard there are a lot of fans who are looking forward to season 2. The director, actors, and production company members are all going to have a meal together, so we're going to push for it then (laughs). The actors definitely want to do it."
Study Group starring Hwang Min-hyun impresses fans worldwide with its plot
Study Group is an adaptation of the popular webtoon by Shin Hyung-wook. The series follows Yoon Ga-min (Hwang Min-hyun), a first-year student at Yusung Technical High School, known for his fighting skills but struggling academic performance.
Determined to improve his grades and attend university, Ga-min forms a study group within the school's challenging environment. The group includes his former tutor and now temporary teacher, Lee Han-kyung (Han Ji-eun).
The group also includes the school's top student, Pi Han-wool (Cha Woo-min), and fellow first-year student Lee Ji-woo (Shin Su-hyun). They navigate the complexities of high school life. However, Ga-min gets embroiled in the school's fight clubs.
The final episode of season 1 of Study Group delivers a series of pivotal moments that impact the trajectory of the main characters. Throughout the season, Ga-min balances his desire for academic success with the necessity to defend his peers from the school's bullying.
In the finale, this conflict reaches a peak as he confronts the school's most formidable antagonist, Pi Han-ul (Cha Woo-min), challenging the status quo. In the end, Pi Han-ul's reign of terror is ended by Ga-min and his friends. However, teacher Lee Han-gyeon (Han Ji-eun) suddenly resigns from her post. The ending hints at a season 2 renewal.
According to Xports News report, several major scenes from the original webtoon aren't included in season 1. Furthermore, the unclear ending of the pilot season hints at Ga-min and Lee Han-gyeong's unfinished business.
The series has been praised globally for its storyline and strong character development. Hwang Min-hyun's portrayal of Yoon Ga-min has been well-received. Additionally, other lead cast actors like Hong Min-ki, Gong Do-yu, and Lee Jong-hyun, are lauded by fans for their acting skills.
In the meantime, Study Group remains available for streaming on TVING and Viki.
