Korean drama ' Study Group ' has officially been announced to continue into a second season. This news was confirmed directly by Studio Dragon on May 12, 2025, quoted from Soompi on Monday May 12, 2025.
Although still in the early planning stages, this announcement is enough to generate great enthusiasm from fans who have been following Yoon Ga Min's story since the first season. 'Study Group' first aired on January 23 to February 20, 2025 with a total of 10 episodes on the TVING platform.
This drama is adapted from a popular webtoon by Shin Hyung Wook and illustrator Yoo Seung Yeon, and has become one of the most in-demand dramas early this year. Starring Hwang Min Hyun , Han Ji Eun, Cha Woo Min, Lee Jong Hyun, Shin Soo Hyun, and Yoon Sang Jung, this drama combines a typical school story with a touch of exciting and entertaining action.
The story centers on Yoon Ga Min (Hwang Min Hyun), a student at Yusung Technical High School, a notorious school known for its chaos and violence. Although Ga Min is not particularly academically brilliant, he has extraordinary fighting skills. In order to continue her studies, she forms a study group.
However, her struggles are not just about her studies—Ga Min must also continue to protect her friends from the bullying and chaos that plagues the school. Actress Shin Soo Hyun, who plays the character Lee Ji Woo, has hinted about the possibility of a second season of Study Group on February 21.
In his interview with Xports News as quoted from Sportskeeda on the same Monday, he said, " Ga Min really wants a season 2 , and everyone wants it too. I heard that many fans are really looking forward to the next season. In fact, the cast and production team will have a meal together to talk about it further, " he said with a laugh.
Studio Dragon, in its financial report presentation for the first quarter of 2025, mentioned 'Study Group' Season 2 as one of its flagship projects. They are also considering new formats such as interquels—a story that fills the gap between two seasons—which will certainly make fans more curious about the next storyline, as reported by Pink Villa .
Although there is no confirmation regarding the broadcasting platform, cast list, or exact release date, the possibility of Hwang Min Hyun's return is the main attraction. If he returns, the second season of 'Study Group' will be his comeback project after completing his military service on December 20, 2025.
Meanwhile, Han Ji Eun, who played teacher Lee Han Gyeong in the first season, is scheduled to star in the drama 'The Boy in the Last Row' before possibly returning in 'Study Group' Season 2. She will star alongside senior actors such as Choi Min Shik, Choi Hyun Wook, Jin Kyung, and others.
The success of the first season that dominated the TVING platform with a record of five consecutive weeks as the drama that attracted the most paid subscribers is strong evidence that 'Study Group' has a solid fan base and a promising story.
With a cliffhanger ending in the first season—where Ga Min managed to overthrow the school's ruler, Pi Han-ul (Cha Woo Min), but had to deal with the sudden departure of his teacher—the second season promises to present a new conflict that is no less interesting. It seems like it's only a matter of time before 'Study Group' returns to the screen and takes the learning-by-fighting action to the next level.
