Model-turned-actor Ahn Jae Hyun is getting attention once again—not just for his looks today, but for how good-looking he was even as a kid.

On the May 9 episode of MBC’s popular variety show I Live Alone (Episode 595), Ahn Jae Hyun spent time with his closest friends of 20 years at one of their parents' houses.

While hanging out, the group looked through some old photo albums—and fans got to see rare childhood photos of Ahn Jae Hyun from his elementary school, middle school, high school, and college days.

One of his friends playfully warned him, “Be careful, your old photo is coming up,” and when the photos appeared, Ahn Jae Hyun reacted by saying, “Wow, I look really bad.”

However, viewers and fellow cast members didn’t agree! Kian84 commented, “He looked good even back then,” clearly impressed by how handsome Ahn Jae Hyun was even at a young age.

Fans online also couldn’t help but praise his visuals, with many saying he hasn’t changed much over the years.

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.
