Park Ji-hoon shared behind-the-scenes anecdotes about reuniting with Choi Hyun-wook during the filming of Weak Hero Class 2. It is a continuation of its first season, where Yeon Si-eun (Park Ji-hoon) failed to protect his best friend, Ahn Su-ho (Choi Hyun-wook), who went into a coma.

“It's honestly really hard to put into words what I was feeling while we were filming. Even though we’re still young, you could really see how much I relied on him.”

Park Ji-hoon opens up about getting emotional after reuniting with Choi Hyun-wook on Weak Hero Class 2 sets
In the final episode of Weak Hero Class 2, Yeon Si-eun received a call from the hospital regarding Ahn Su-ho’s condition. Following this, Yeon Si-eun, along with Baku (Ryeoun), Seo Jun-tae (Choi Min-young), and Go Hyun-tak (Lee Min-jae), rushed to the hospital.
Yeon Si-eun then saw Ahn Su-ho sitting in a wheelchair, and as soon as Yeon Si-eun saw Ahn Su-ho regain consciousness, he could not help but smile.
Park Ji-hoon revealed that when he first met Choi Hyun-wook again on the sets of Weak Hero Class 2, he felt a whirlpool of emotions that he could not stop weeping. He said,
“When we met again, I cried. But later I felt like maybe I was expressing my emotions too much. When I looked at Suho, I felt this sense of comfort, like his face holds so many things inside. Even during rehearsals, I got so emotional that it actually made things really hard for me.”
Park Ji-hoon got candid as he revealed he wanted to showcase the emotions of not having many friends in his childhood through Yeon Si-eun. He wanted Yeon Si-eun to make many friends in the series. He said,
"I think I wanted to project my childhood friendlessness onto Si-eun. I wanted to feel those emotions. 'You should make a lot of friends. The ending is where Si-eun makes friends.”
Furthermore, he emphasized that the ending of Weak Hero Class 2 would be happy for him when he witnessed Yeon Si-eun build lasting friendships. Notably, one of the crucial subplots showcased the friendship dynamics between the characters, which captivated viewers.
“For me, it wasn't an ending where I made a lot of friends. While acting as Si-eun, I wanted the ending to be where at least this friend makes a friend. That ending was happy. That's why I felt like I completely let go,” he shared.
Meanwhile, Weak Hero Class 2 introduced new faces and characters depicted by a remarkable cast, including Lee Jun-young, Bae Na-ra, Yu Su-bin, and more. Fans may catch up with both seasons of the action drama on Netflix.
