Weak Hero Class 1 Ending Explained: The Tragedy of Friendship and Revenge

Weak Hero Class 1 Ending Explained: A Deep Dive into the Finale and What's Next

Warning: This article contains major spoilers for Weak Hero Class 1.

When Weak Hero Class 1 dropped, it wasn't just another gritty high school drama. It became a raw, emotional rollercoaster that punched us in the gut—over and over again. The final episode didn’t just conclude a season; it cracked open the hearts of its characters and tossed them into the fire. Betrayal, vengeance, redemption (or lack thereof), and the brutal reality of youth—all wrapped up in one relentless ending.

If you finished the season still trying to process the chaos, you’re not alone. Let’s unpack everything that happened in the finale, the emotional wreckage it left behind, and what it all means for the next chapter in Weak Hero Class 2.

The Friendship That Could've Been

At its core, Weak Hero Class 1 was about three boys—Yeon Si-eun, Ahn Su-ho, and Oh Beom-seok—trying to survive in a world that seemed hell-bent on breaking them. Si-eun, the quiet genius. Su-ho, the scrappy street-smart brawler. And Beom-seok, the fragile outsider desperate to belong.

For a while, they found something rare: real friendship. Meals shared, bullies fought off, battles won side by side. But Beom-seok was never at peace. Abused by his adoptive father, alienated by his wealth, and haunted by trauma, Beom-seok started to believe the very people who saved him were the ones pushing him out.

Betrayal at the Gym: Beom-seok's Breaking Point

In one of the most disturbing scenes of the series, Beom-seok orchestrates a violent ambush against Su-ho. Why? Because when Su-ho looked at him with pity, it was like his father all over again—condescending, distant, disappointed.

The rage Beom-seok had bottled up for years finally exploded… but against the wrong people. Instead of confronting the real abuser in his life, he turned on the friends who stood by him. The result? Su-ho ends up in a coma, and their friendship is shattered beyond repair.

Si-eun's Spiral Into Violence

Si-eun, always calm, always collected, snaps. After seeing Su-ho broken and unresponsive, he embarks on a warpath. He tracks down every single person involved in the assault, including the terrifying MMA fighter Woo-young, and wrecks them all.

But the turning point? Si-eun doesn’t raise a hand against Beom-seok.

Even with all the fury and pain, he couldn’t bring himself to hurt the person he once called his friend. Because deep down, he knew Beom-seok wasn’t just a villain—he was a victim, too. The cycle of violence had claimed another soul, and Si-eun refused to add fuel to that fire.

The Hallucinated Farewell: Su-ho Lives

In a heart-wrenching moment at the hospital, Si-eun imagines a conversation with Su-ho. He apologizes for not being there, for not seeing the signs, for not stopping Beom-seok in time. It’s one of the most emotional scenes of the show—and it’s not even real.

But Su-ho isn’t dead. While still in a coma, his grandmother takes him out of the city. His fate remains uncertain, but there’s hope. Maybe we’ll see him again. Maybe not. Either way, Su-ho’s legacy is burned into every choice Si-eun makes.

Beom-seok Escapes—But Not Without Consequences

After the incident, Beom-seok’s powerful father ships him off to study in the Philippines. He gets to avoid legal consequences, but not the guilt. Before leaving, he blames their mutual friend Young-yi for driving a wedge between the trio—a pathetic deflection, but also a glimpse into his fractured mind.

Si-eun could have exposed him by leaking the video of the assault. Instead, he keeps it as leverage. Beom-seok leaves, but the damage he caused lingers, deep and festering.

New School, New Nightmare

Si-eun gets expelled and ends up at Eunjang High, a school notorious for chaos. On day one, a new bully tries to assert dominance. But Si-eun, now hardened by betrayal and loss, isn’t the same quiet boy anymore.

He fights back immediately, and the message is clear: he’s not here to play nice.

In the mid-credits scene, we learn that the kid Si-eun takes down—Kang Woo-young—is connected to a mysterious group known only as “The Association.” We don’t know much yet, but it smells like major trouble for Season 2.

The Cycle of Violence

One of the most powerful takeaways from the finale is this: violence never ends—it just evolves.

Beom-seok became the very thing he feared. Si-eun, in trying to protect others, became more like the bullies he once resisted. Su-ho, the heart of the group, was the one who suffered most.

Everyone lost something. And no one walked away clean.

What's Coming in Weak Hero Class 2?

Weak Hero Class 2 is already on the way, and the stakes are higher than ever. Si-eun is in a hostile new school, alone, surrounded by a whole new cast of enemies. Will he break again? Or will he finally rise above the chaos?

There’s also a chance Su-ho could return. Maybe Beom-seok, consumed by guilt, will reappear. And what the heck is “The Association” really about?

One thing’s for sure—Si-eun’s fight isn’t over.
