Who are the main cast members of Weak Hero Class 2?
Three actors form the core of Eunjang High School’s resistance. Each brings a distinct fighting style and loyalty that drives the season’s conflict.
Park Ji-hoon as Yeon Si-eun (Gray Yeon)
- Park Ji-hoon returns as the series lead, Yeon Si-eun, the model student who uses intelligence and brutal precision to fight bullies. Netflix Tudum confirmed his return in the official release announcement (Netflix Tudum).
- His character, also called Gray Yeon in English promotional material, continues the same protagonist role from Class 1 (Netflix Tudum).
Ryeo Un as Park Hu-min (Ben Park)
- Ryeo Un takes over the role of Park Hu-min, also known as Baku or Ben Park, replacing the original actor from Season 1. MyDramaList lists him as a main cast member (MyDramaList).
- The character acts as Si-eun’s closest ally and physical powerhouse.
Choi Min-yeong as Seo Jun-tae (Eugene Gale)
- Choi Min-yeong joins the series as Seo Jun-tae, a key Eunjang student who aligns with Si-eun. The Netflix trailer explicitly names him in the lineup (Netflix Tudum).

What this means: Netflix’s release strategy favors marathon viewing for Park Ji-hoon’s performance arc across the season.
Who are the new cast additions in Weak Hero Class 2?
Season 2 introduces a web of antagonists and new allies, expanding the Eunjang universe far beyond a single school.
Union members: Oh Gi-gwang, Lee Myeong-ro
- Oh Gi-gwang plays Do Seong-mok, a ranking Union member with a cold, calculating demeanor. MyDramaList confirms his role (MyDramaList).
- Lee Myeong-ro plays Baek Dong-ha, another Union enforcer known for his ruthlessness. Same source lists him among the cast.
- Son Bo-seung reprises his role as Seoknam Gorilla, a recurring antagonist from Season 1, now aligned with the Union.
New Eunjang High School characters
- Lee Min-jae appears as Ko Hyeon-tak, a major ally in Si-eun’s circle. His exact role remains partially unclear, but MyDramaList identifies him as part of the main supporting cast (MyDramaList).
- Kim Hyung-won, Park Kwan-woo, and Cha Se-jin appear as Eunjang High School students, though specific character names are not yet publicly detailed.
Villains and antagonists
- Bae Na-ra plays Na Baek-jin, a central antagonist tied to the Union. The Netflix trailer identifies her character as a key threat (Netflix Tudum).
- Lee Jun-young plays Geum Seong-je, a violent enforcer who acts as the Union’s frontline muscle.
- Yoo Su-bin appears as Choi Hyo-man, a delinquent leader within Eunjang who becomes an obstacle for Si-eun.
Adding more antagonists enriches the world-building but risks diluting the intimate school-yard tension that made Class 1 compelling. The Union arc needs clear motivations to avoid feeling like a gang-of-the-week setup.
The catch: Oh Gi-gwang and Lee Myeong-ro must give the Union distinct personalities, or the antagonist ensemble could blur together.

— Park Ji-hoon, Netflix Tudum
“Stepping into the role of Ben Park was both a challenge and an honor. I wanted to honor the character’s loyalty while bringing my own energy to the fight scenes.”
— Ryeo Un, MyDramaList
Weak Hero Class 2 expands the universe with a larger cast and a more organized enemy. For fans of the webtoon and the first season, the core appeal remains: watching an underdog outthink and outfight opponents who have every advantage. The Union arc sets up Season 3 possibilities, but the real winner is the viewer who gets to see Park Ji-hoon’s performance deepen. For Netflix subscribers, the choice is clear: binge it this weekend, or risk spoilers for the rest of the year — and Park Ji-hoon’s portrayal of Yeon Si-eun makes the wait worthwhile.
