<p>Park Ji-hoon opened up about the evolution of his character, Si-eun, in <em>Weak Hero Class 2</em>, reflecting on how the role has deepened since the first season.</p><p>&quot;I think the biggest change in Ji-hun from Class One to Class Two is his gaze. In <em>Weak Hero Season 1 </em>or <em>Class 1,</em> you can see that he has a strong determination in his eyes to protect his friends that&#x27;s the only thing he thinks about,&quot; he relayed in the show&#x27;s cast interview with AsianFeed.</p><p>The actor noted that Season 2 shows a more emotionally complex side of the character. &quot;In <em>Weak Hero Class 2</em>, I think it is more multi-layered. Towards the end of the show, he really wants to put an end to all of this. He looks very tired of it all, and he has that desperate drive to really make it happen.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJIt9xFSYIZ/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A128032.29999999702%2C%22ls%22%3A127430.20000000298%2C%22le%22%3A127746.70000000298%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1023" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Joining the cast in Season 2 is Ryeo Un, who plays the new character Hu-min.

It wasn&#x27;t like that, so I had to create a lot of part of him and even just about that part I had to approach in a different strategy and way in acting as well.&quot;</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2025/4/2/-weak-hero-class-2-premieres-april-25-on-netflix-unveils-teaser-0958" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Korean action drama &#x27;Weak Hero Class 2&#x27; premieres April 25 on Netflix</strong></a></div><p>Meanwhile, Lee Min-jae, who portrays the role of Hyeon-tak, recalled a heartwarming moment on set during filming. &quot;When we were filming, I had my birthday.
