Weak Hero Class 2 will premiere on Netflix on April 25, with eight episodes in all. The show's lead actor, Park Ji-hoon, and a few cast members have thus embarked on a promotion tour for the drama. After hosting a press conference a few days ago, the cast is also appearing on talk shows.

On April 24, Osen reported that Park Ji-hoon appeared on the Netflix variety show Try Choo-ry! on April 23. While on the show, Ji-hoon and the cast visited a shooting range. While at the shooting range, Ji-hoon again mentioned how he has been fascinated with the military since childhood. He said,

"I want to enlist in the Marine Reconnaissance Unit. I’ve been a military geek since I was a kid. I collect gas guns too. I only play shooting games.”

Here's how the fans reacted to the singer's proclamation:

"Noooooo!!!! It’s too soon for you to serve Pookie Wait"

Park Ji-hoon, who was formerly a member of the K-pop group Wanna One, is only 25 years of age. He spent his formative years focusing on acting and singing and is now eligible to enlist in the military. Once he enlists, he will be on a hiatus for about 18 months minimum, depending on the section he gets enlisted to. Here's what the fans had to say:

"not the enlistment talk already," a user wrote.

"Noooooo!!!! It’s too soon for you to serve Pookie Wait," a user wrote.

"dang he already spoke about enlistment," a fan wrote.
