The ending of Weak Hero Class 1 delivers a powerful and emotional resolution to the intense journey of Yeon Si-eun and his fight against school violence. After enduring relentless bullying and betrayal, Si-eun finally confronts his limits and realizes the weight of his isolation.
The final scenes show that while he may have won some battles physically, the emotional scars run deep. His friendship with Soo-ho and Beom-seok fractures, revealing how violence and fear can change people irreversibly.

What Happened To Shi-eun In The Finale Of Weak Hero Class 1
Shi-eun Transferred To Eujang High School
When Beom-seok starts mingling with the same boys that had been bullying him and his friends before, Shi-eun finds it hard to watch. But as Beom-seok keeps doing things that would end up putting Soo-ho in danger, Shi-eun warns him and tells him to back off.
Once Beom-seok and his gang attack Soo-ho, putting him in a coma, Shi-eun decides to take action on his behalf. He tracks down everyone who had a hand in hurting Soo-ho and attacks them, but he holds back when it’s time to deal with Beom-seok directly.
Shi-eun’s decision to physically attack his classmates and break a window leads to his expulsion from school. Although Beom-seok’s father works hard behind the scenes to make sure Shi-eun doesn’t get into another school easily, Shi-eun eventually ends up at Eujang High School.
This new school isn’t as prestigious as where he came from, and from his first day, he faces the same challenge again. A bully in his new class targets him, and Shi-eun fights back with a pen, which only earns him a new enemy.
Is Soo-ho Still Alive In Weak Hero Class 1?
Soo-ho Is In A Coma
During Soo-ho’s birthday celebration, both Shi-eun and Yeong-i attend. But after receiving a message from Beom-seok, Yeong-i leaves midway, unaware it’s a trap meant for Soo-ho. Instead of Soo-ho, it is Shi-eun who arrives first and gets beaten.
Once Soo-ho hears about the attack on Shi-eun, he wastes no time and goes after those responsible. It first appears as though Soo-ho might have died, but later scenes in the season finale show that he is still breathing.
Beom-seok, Woo-young, and their group of bullies corner Soo-ho and attack him so badly that he loses consciousness. While it first seems like he didn’t survive, the final moments of the series confirm that Soo-ho is alive.
Still, the beating leaves him with injuries so serious that he ends up in a coma. The extent of his injuries is never fully explained, and no one can tell what condition he’ll be in if or when he regains consciousness.

Beom-seok Was Also Transferred To A New School
Beom-seok starts alone when he first enters high school until Soo-ho reaches out to him and offers friendship. After a disagreement splits them apart, Beom-seok becomes obsessed with proving that Soo-ho isn’t better than him.
When his plans almost lead to Soo-ho’s death, Beom-seok begins to realize how far he has gone. His father, who abuses him both physically and emotionally, then decides to remove him from the environment by sending him to school in the Philippines.
Before his departure, Beom-seok visits his former teachers to say goodbye and ends up crossing paths with Shi-eun. Even though Beom-seok feels remorseful for what he did to Soo-ho, Shi-eun is not ready to forgive him.
The last image viewers get of Beom-seok is at the airport, preparing to leave everything behind and start afresh in the Philippines.
Will Beom-seok & Soo-ho Be In Weak Hero Class 2?
Weak Hero Class 2 Will Have New Characters
With Beom-seok on his way to a different country and Soo-ho still lying unconscious in a hospital bed, there’s no certainty that either of them will feature in the next season. Since Shi-eun has moved to a new school, the focus may change entirely.
As Weak Hero Class 2 is expected to premiere in the second quarter of 2025, the streaming platform has shared the new cast lineup. Park Ji-hoon is returning as Shi-eun, but he’ll be joined by fresh faces like Ryeoun, Bae Na Ra, Lee Min Jae, Lee Jun Young, and Choi Min Young, according to What’s On Netflix.
How Weak Hero Class 1 Sets Up Season 2

The way Weak Hero Class 1 ends leaves things open, especially with how Shi-eun uses his pen to strike back when a classmate tries to intimidate him at his new school.
A mid-credit scene reveals an unknown person watching footage of Shi-eun’s attack, pointing out that he was the one who beat up Kang Woo-young, a known figure tied to an unnamed group referred to only as “the association.”
No extra details are given about this group or what they stand for, laying the groundwork for new storylines in the next season. Production for season one was handled by Wavve, but season two is being taken over as a Netflix Original.
With this change, Shi-eun now finds himself dealing with new threats—some from fellow students loyal to the former bully, and others from this mysterious group that seems to be watching him closely.
The story moves forward with questions about whether Shi-eun can survive this next stage, and whether his new opponents will be more dangerous than those from his past school.
What Weak Hero Class 1’s Ending Means
Weak Hero Class 1 Analyses The Impacts Of Bullying
The story told in Weak Hero Class 1 focuses strongly on how people respond to trauma. Beom-seok’s dangerous decisions regarding Soo-ho are traced back to the way his father treats him at home. His anger builds up over time until it explodes, nearly ending in tragedy.
Although Shi-eun manages to find a different school, he remains an easy target for those who pick on the weak. The chain reaction of bullying continues, and this time, it could bring even more serious results than before.
While it might seem like Beom-seok escaped punishment, he is left burdened by deep regret over what he caused. The ending of Weak Hero Class 1 highlights how those with influence often bend situations to suit themselves.
Even though Beom-seok’s guilt weighs heavily on him, it’s Soo-ho and Shi-eun who carry the real consequences. Soo-ho lies unconscious because of what happened, while Shi-eun is sent off to face more trouble alone, all because Beom-seok’s father blocked every other option available to him.
