7 Best Fighters In Weak Hero, Ranked

Dramas featuring “The Underdog” in Korean television revolve around a diverse group of fighters, each possessing distinct abilities. The initial series, “Underdog Class 1”, introduced viewers to Si-eun and his band of companions, who bravely confronted their tormentors, leading to some exciting fight sequences. In contrast, the second installment, “Underdog Class 2”, was significantly more action-oriented than the first installment of this Korean thriller. The new characters in “Underdog Class 2” proved to be formidable opponents compared to Si-eun’s friends from the previous series.

In “Weak Hero Class 1”, it was clear which character excelled in combat, but with the introduction of fresh characters in “Class 2”, the choice becomes more challenging for the second season of this coming-of-age K-drama. From skilled MMA fighters to ordinary students defending themselves against bullies, there have been numerous altercations among the characters in “Weak Hero” that help us identify the ultimate victor. The most formidable fighters in “Weak Hero” are easily distinguished by their fight win records and their ability to effectively defend themselves against opponents.

7. Choi Hyo-man

Played By Yoo Su-bin

At Eujang, Choi Hyo-man, the head of the gang, was known as the school’s most intimidating bully. He often picked on those who were weaker than him, ensuring frequent victories. However, he wasn’t exceptionally skilled in combat. He tended to avoid confronting anyone who intimidated him, such as Si-eun and Park Hu-min. Yet, to gain entry into the Union, he needed to prove his dominance, so he devised a strategy to do so.

In his sole encounter with Si-eun, Hyo-man suffered a loss and fled the scene. The only method he could outmatch his latest schoolmate was by banding together with his companions to overpower him. Surprisingly, despite his weaknesses, Hyo-man demonstrated that he does possess fighting skills. By the finale of Weak Hero Class 2, Hyo-man successfully vanquished several of Na Baek-jin’s associates.

6. Yeon Si-Eun

Played By Park Ji-hoon

Si-eun generally avoided getting involved in fights unless provoked during his academic years, and unlike some of his peers, he wasn’t prone to violence. Instead, he devoted himself to his studies, which served as a means to cultivate his fighting abilities. Since Si-eun hadn’t been naturally endowed or trained as a fighter, he relied on the most powerful weapon available to him in fights: his intellect.

In tight spots, Si-eun would resort to employing strategies from physics and psychology to outsmart his adversaries. He wasn’t shy about using unconventional methods like hurling objects or his unique pen technique to secure victories. However, there were times when this approach failed because ultimately, a fight can hinge on brute strength. Unfortunately, Si-eun lacked in that department. Despite these occasional setbacks, Si-eun has proven himself to be one of the top fighters in Weak Hero, given the number of opponents he managed to best.

5. Go Hyun-tak

Played By Lee Min-jae

As a passionate cinephile, I can attest that Go Hyun-tak, a staunch defender of Eujang, was more than just a character on the screen – he was an ex-MMA fighter with an impressive background. Prior to his career in cinema, Hyun-tak faced a significant setback when he broke his knee during MMA fights. This injury forced him to abandon his martial arts career and join the basketball team instead. However, his commitment to maintaining his physique didn’t waver. In fact, his dedication to fitness made him one of the formidable figures in “Weak Hero.” Such was his strength that most of his classmates steered clear of challenging him in any altercations. Hyun-tak, like any peace-loving individual, avoided confrontation whenever possible, only resorting to it when absolutely necessary.

Just like Si-eun, Hyun-tak detests bullies and always stands up for those being mistreated by them. He utilizes his MMA abilities and teams up with his closest friend Park Hu-min, Jun-tae, and Si-eun to confront members of the Union. What truly sets Hyun-tak apart as an exceptional fighter is not just his skills, but his unwavering commitment to safeguard those who are vulnerable and the people he cherishes.

4. Geum Seong-je

Played By Lee Jun-young

Geum Seong-jae, often recognized as a neighborhood thug, serves as right-hand man to Na Baek-jin within their school’s union. He tends to handle the majority of the union’s questionable tasks. One reason for his position as the high school’s union leader is his propensity for extreme violence and brutality, even surpassing his superior, Baek-jin, in these traits. Due to Eujang High School declining to affiliate with their union, Seong-jae and the gang under his control were responsible for attacking the students there since they wouldn’t join their group.

The principal of Gankhak High School wasn’t just capable of matching force with many opponents, but he also possessed the abilities to outmaneuver Hyun-tak, a previous MMA fighter. Despite not having formal combat training, Seong-je’s fighting prowess should never be underestimated.

3. Na Baek-jin

Played By Bae Na-ra

Na Baek-jin, head of the Union in Weak Hero, showcases exceptional fighting skills. Despite being known for his intellectual prowess and tendency to stand rather than fight, Baek-jin proves that he’s more than capable in combat. Growing up, he was a target of bullying, which led his friend Hu-min to teach him self-defense techniques. Baek-jin is ruthless and doesn’t hesitate to employ any strategy during fights.

Baek-jin’s lethal prowess stems from his unique blend of traits reminiscent of both Si-eun and Hu-min. Similar to Si-eun, Baek-jin is a cunning combatant, employing his surroundings and physics understanding to outsmart his adversaries. Yet, what truly sets him apart as an exceptional fighter is the synergy of intellect and physical strength. This combination proves challenging for many opponents to match. However, it was ultimately Si-eun who dealt the final blow against Baek-jin during their battle at Eujang High, as Baek-jin had already defeated Hu-min prior to this encounter.

2. Ahn Su-ho

Played By Choi Hyun-wook

In “Weak Hero Class 1”, Su-ho stood uncontested as the most formidable combatant, having once been a skilled Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) athlete before retiring from the sport. During his prime, no opponent could best him. Given his exceptional abilities, it’s hardly surprising that even school bullies found him intimidating. Interestingly, Su-ho’s only defeat in “Weak Hero Class 1” occurred when he was confronted by a professional MMA fighter and some of his peers.

Due to Su-ho spending most of Weak Hero Class 2 in a coma, it’s challenging to decide who would win between him and Hu-min in a fight. However, Su-ho was known for his exceptional fighting abilities within the action K-drama. The only way to find out which one is truly the best among them is through a fight; yet, considering they may team up if there’s Weak Hero Class 3, this question might remain unanswered.

1. Park Hu-min

Played By Ryeo Un

In the series “Weak Hero Class 2”, Park Hu-min emerged as a standout performer whose appeal, wit, and charm bore striking resemblances to Su-ho’s. Given these similarities, it was almost destined that he would form a bond with Si-eun. Unlike Su-ho, who was trained in combat, Hu-min was self-taught. He employed his skills to challenge the Union and every bully at his school. As a result, Hu-min garnered respect from many of his peers due to his courageous actions.

In every battle he engages, Human puts forth maximum effort. This highly proficient combatant can handle multiple adversaries simultaneously and triumph over them. The only individual who gave him a hard time was Na Baek-jin, but that might be because he was the one who tutored Baek-jin in martial arts. Despite being the top fighter in Weak Hero Class 2, there’s speculation whether he can outperform Su-ho at his zenith.
