Netizens Are Divided About One Particular Scene In “Weak Hero Class 2”

After a long three-year wait, Netflix’s Weak Hero Class 2 finally premiered on April 25.

Many fans anticipated the new season and the new friendships that Yeon Si Yeon, played by Park Ji Hoon, would make.

During the roundtable interview, Park shared his thoughts on why the show became so popular.

I think the reason why a lot of people resonated and loved the show is because it really talks about boys’ friendship.

However, a online community post garnered divided opinions about a particular scene from the drama. While K-netizens were disappointed with Baku’s entrance scene…

The intro scene for Baku is so ridiculous. He appears while playing the ‘Slam Dunk’ OST and hits Choi Hyo Man with a basketball. And Go Hyun Tak adds to it by asking if he put malatang on his head after seeing his red hair.

…international netizens praised the scene for Baku’s similarities with Slam Dunk.
