[NEWS] Actor Choi Minyeong takes over the global stage once again! From 'XO, Kitty' to 'Weak Hero Class 2' — now Global No.1!

Actor Choi Minyeong Captivates the Globe Once Again — From XO, Kitty to Weak Hero Class 2

Following his breakout role as Dae in Netflix’s hit teen series XO, Kitty—a spinoff of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before—Choi Minyeong has once again taken the global stage by storm, this time through Weak Hero Class 2.

Released on April 25, Weak Hero Class 2 soared to the top of Netflix’s Global Top 10 (Non-English Show) within just three days of its premiere. In the series, Choi Minyeong plays Seo Juntae, a student targeted by a violent group of bullies—but who fights back with unexpected strength and determination.

With an impressive portfolio spanning dramas, films, and OTT series, Choi Minyeong adds yet another standout performance to his growing filmography. His portrayal of Juntae—timid but resilient—was widely praised for its emotional nuance and depth.
One of the most iconic scenes is when Juntae fights back in his own way to protect his friends—delivering the now-famous line, “Hats off to the Romantic.” The moment struck a powerful chord with viewers, who described Juntae as the true weak hero. They admired his ability to appear fragile yet reveal strength when it mattered most, calling him not only brave and cool, but also irresistibly adorable.

Following the success of XO, Kitty Season 2 earlier this year, Choi Minyeong continues his global rise in the first half of 2025 with another hit, Weak Hero Class 2—building anticipation for what lies ahead in his career.

Weak Hero Class 2, starring Choi Minyeong, is now streaming exclusively on Netflix.
