Park Ji-hoon and Lee Jun-young Share Behind-the-Scenes Stories from 'Weak Hero Class 2'

Park Ji-hoon and Lee Jun-young recently appeared on Netflix Korea's YouTube channel show 'Here to Promote' to discuss their roles in 'Weak Hero Class 2'.

The duo shared their close friendship, revealing, "We see each other often, enjoy dancing together, and have a beer."

When asked about his current projects, Park Ji-hoon mentioned, "I'm filming a historical drama 'The Man Living with the King' with Yoo Hae-jin and Yoo Ji-tae, directed by Jang Hang-jun. Having done three historical dramas, it's not challenging anymore."

Lee Jun-young, known as 'Netflix's son', reflected on his busy schedule, saying, "I wonder how I lived last year. Recently, my character Young-beom in 'Poksak Sogatsu' is popular, but just last month, many praised my role as Si-jun in 'Melo Movie'."

Lee, who gained fame through 'D.P.', shared, "Director Han Jun-hee's involvement in 'Weak Hero Class 2' made me accept the offer immediately."

Park Ji-hoon, who won the Best New Actor award at the Blue Dragon Series Awards for 'Weak Hero Class 1', expressed, "Receiving an award for a project I love is an honor. This work is my tear button; it touches my heart. The director and staff worked hard, and I was deeply immersed in my character, Yeon Si-eun."

Lee Jun-young, who has played villains in four projects including 'Mask Girl', explained his image transformation, "I transformed my image with roles like Young-beom and Si-jun. I'm grateful for the villain scripts, but they are becoming increasingly intense."

Park Ji-hoon humorously added, "I don't even get scripts. I want to try a bad role, like a trashy character, but I'm not sure how I'd handle it."

In 'Weak Hero Class 2', Park Ji-hoon and Lee Jun-young portray Yeon Si-eun and Geum Seong-jae, respectively, and their rivalry is highly anticipated. Behind-the-scenes moments were also shared.

Lee Jun-young described the challenging filming conditions, "We shot near the Han River on a rooftop. It snowed on the first day and rained on the last, with many action scenes."

Park Ji-hoon confessed, "I was really scared. On action days with Lee Jun-young, I was especially nervous. His punches were so fast I couldn't see them. If I missed, I'd really get hit."

Lee Jun-young reassured, "I hit where we agreed. You won't get hit, but you're scared in advance." Park Ji-hoon added humorously, "You can hear the wind from his punches," bringing laughter.
