Actor Kang Ki Dong makes a special appearance in the SBS drama 'Our Beloved Summer'.

Actor Kang Ki Dong appeared as a cameo in the SBS Monday-Tuesday drama 'Our Beloved Summer' (Directed by Kim Yun-jin, Lee Dan, screenplay Lee Na-eun, production Studio N, Supermoon Pictures) and meets Park Jin Joo.

In the drama, Kang Ki Dong appears as Lee Sol Yi (Park Jin Joo)'s ex-boyfriend 'Jin Seop'. Jin Seop is a character who has already appeared in Lee Sol Yi's lines in Episode 5, and is a problematic ex-boyfriend who prepared a partnership with Lee Sol Yi, but found out that he had an affair on the day he put in the money.

Expectations are high for Kang Ki Dong's sharp acting ability, who will transform into a shameless and skillful Jin Seop. Also, attention is focused on the fantastic tiki-taka chemistry that Kang Gi Dong will show off with Park Jin Joo.

Kang Ki Dong's special appearance was made possible through his relationship with Park Jin Joo. The two have been friends since appearing together in 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay', which aired in 2020. The reunion of the two is highly anticipated as they boasted their unique chemistry through dramas, commercials, and personal broadcasts.

Kang Ki Dong said, "It was a lot of fun working with Park Jin Joo after a long time," he said.

The 14th episode of 'Our Beloved Summer', featuring Kang Ki Dong as a special appearance, will be broadcast at 10 pm on the same day.

The hit drama Weak Hero 2 is taking over both streaming charts and fans’ hearts—and now it’s bringing massive attention back to the original Naver webtoon Weak Hero.

According to Netflix's Tudum Top 10 update on April 30, Weak Hero 2 pulled in a huge 6.1 million views (based on total watch time divided by full runtime) just three days after its release. It grabbed the #1 spot on the Global TOP 10 Non-English TV Series chart.

That’s not all—right after it dropped, the drama soared to the top of Korea’s TOP 10 Series and even made the TOP 10 charts in 63 countries, including Brazil, France, Mexico, Belgium, Morocco, Greece, Indonesia, and more.

This follows the success of Weak Hero 1, which previously ranked #8 and stayed on the global chart for five weeks straight.

With all eyes on the new season, fans are now rushing to read the original webtoon, leading to a massive jump in popularity.

The webtoon, which first started in May 2018 and wrapped up in November 2023, is famous for its intense storytelling and emotional depth.

It tells the story of Yeon Si Eun, a quiet and seemingly weak student who turns into a top fighter at a violent school—giving fans a unique and gripping coming-of-age story.

After Weak Hero Class 2 aired, many viewers started reading or re-reading the webtoon from beginning to end. As a result, sales of the webtoon have shot up more than 20 times compared to its average monthly sales after completion.

The series has also been turned into printed books, a mobile game, and even emojis, and has been exported to 9 countries, including North America.

When the first season of the drama premiered on Wavve in 2022, it held 45% of the platform’s total viewing share, proving its wide appeal.

Fans are now hoping for a new sequel season of the webtoon, and the franchise is being praised as a perfect example of how a strong original story can keep growing through great adaptations.
