Actor Park Ji-hoon (26) convinced viewers around the world with his song 'Weak Hero 2'.
The Netflix series Class2 (played by Park Hyun-woo, Yoo Soo-min, directed by Yoo Soo-min) depicts a desperate survival period and brilliant growth story of Yeon Si-eun, a model student who transferred to Eunjang High School with trauma that she could not keep because she could never lose her friend again. Park Ji-hoon played Yeon Si-eun again following season 1, raising viewers' visibility with a multi-layered character who fights to break up the fight.
According to the Netflix TO DOOM TOP10 website on the 30th, Weak Hero2 topped the global TOP10 series (non-English) category with 6,100,000 viewers (viewing time divided by the total running time of the work) within three days of its release. On top of that, from the moment it was released to today, what ranked No. 1 in the `Top 10 Series of Korea'?Of course, he was also listed on the top 10 list of 63 countries around the world, including Brazil, Mexico, Belgium, France, Morocco, Greece, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and New Caledonia. In addition, 'Weak Hero Class1' also ranked 8th in the Global Top 10 Series (non-English), entering the Global Top 10 list for five consecutive weeks after Netflix's release.
Park Ji-hoon recently met with Sports Chosun and said, `Yeon Si-eun is more affectionate than other characters. There is a friendlier, pathetic and sad feeling. I also wanted to tell more of Si-eun's story, as director (Yoo) Su-min said. So I was so happy to film Class 2, and I enjoyed watching Si-eun making good friends and laughing at the end."
Park Ji-hoon won the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Award for Best New Actor through 'Weak Hero Class1' and later showed great affection for Yeon Si-eun. Park Ji-hoon "Before the series was released, I watched the finished version as a group with the staff, and I cried a lot at that time. For some reason, the lingering feeling remained for a long time, and when I saw the last appearance, I thought only one thing, and when I saw this real appearance, I thought 'and that we ran' It occurred to me that not only the actors, but also the director, the staff who were at the scene, and the production company eventually ran with one goal to see this appearance of Si-eun. In the memory of Class 1, the memories of Class 2 and the scenes taken on that hot day and cold day while wearing action scenes and sweating and crying on the spot passed like a beacon light. "

The difference between Class 2 and Class 1 is that in Yeon Si-eun's mind "This boring fight, I want to end it." was deeply entrenched. On top of that, there were various emotions that Park Ji-hoon had to express, ranging from the narrative with his friends to Yeon Si-eun's emotional line. Park Ji-hoon said "The difficulties compared to Class 1 were to express 'Let's end the fight'." There are villains around Si-eun who couldn't protect her friend and eventually left. As it overlaps and overlaps, there is a scene where I scream and take a leg while fighting against Na Baek-jin (Bae Nara), and seeing that, Si-eun tried to express well that she wants to end it now."

In the process, a new face was discovered that Park Ji-hoon did not even know. Park Ji-hoon said "What I was grateful for was that he was so angry that he made me feel like the blood on my body was cold. Since Si-eun is a cold and blunt character, she often did not know that her facial muscles trembled while acting. But as I watched the monitor, I thought 'I'm really immersed in it. It's not that I did well or I didn't do well, but I was surprised to see that my character was well expressed in the frame.
Park Ji-hoon was able to express Yeon Si-eun properly because she resembles herself in the past. Park Ji-hoon said "From an early age, my parents were the only ones I could rely on while living as a child, and I didn't have many friends. Since I spent a lot of time alone when I was young, I think I was able to know Si-eun's heart well and express her lonely backside if I thought about it and studied it. It looks quite similar to my childhood. Other than the action scene, I think Sieun was the most synchronized with me when I was emotional or alonePark Ji-hoon then "I still haven't found an answer to my childhood absence of friends. I think it was because of the dialect. While living as a child and filming in the provinces, I think I naturally became distant from my friends because I spent longer time with my parents than with my classmates. It's a painful memory, but I couldn't find an answer."

"Weak Hero 2" ends with Yeon Si-eun smiling face to face with Ahn Soo-ho (Choi Hyun-wook) who woke up from a long sleep, raising expectations for Class 3. Park Ji-hoon responded, "'I also liked it because it was such a complex emotion while watching the ending. 'Is it finally over?It occurred to me that ' I was so comforted and happy that I thought Si-eun came running for this appearance. The moment I cried because I was so comfortable and happy that I thought it would open up the possibility for Class 3 if you liked Class 2 a lot. When I was alone, I thought to myself that if I did Class 3, I would be able to make a story of growth as a third grader in high school and an adult. I thought it would be fun for high school students to get together and solve the case against adults."
