Weak Hero Class 2 is about to premiere on Netflix. In order to raise anticipation for the drama, the cast and crew of the show got together for a press meet at the Hotel Naru in Mapo-gu, Seoul, on April 21, according to Osen.
At the press meet, Director Yoo Soo-min, creator Han Jun-hee, cast members Park Ji-hoon, Ryeo-woon, Choi Min-young, Lee Jun-young, Yoo Soo-bin, Bae Na-ra, and Lee Min-jae were present. They took turns speaking about their characters, the drama, and the overall filming experience.
In the press conference, Park Ji-hoon was asked what should be noted in the upcoming season of Weak Hero Class. To this, he said:
"Q. In S2, what part did you pay more attention to? PJH: I think I tried my best to deeply express my emotions a bit more. Also, what changed from Class 1 is that I think I tried to add a little more desperation in my eyes."
Short clips and snippets from the press conference were immediately viral across social media.
