CIX's Hyunsuk, has been confirmed to join the cast of TVING's original drama Study Group 2. The news was first reported by Korean media outlet MyDaily on July 13, 2026, which stated that Hyunsuk had been cast as Ji Young Hyun and was currently filming.
A day later, TVING confirmed the report by stating that Hyunsuk would indeed appear in the second season and was actively filming. Hyunsuk's presence immediately caught the attention of fans, especially because his character is no ordinary character.
Based on the original webtoon, Study Group, Ji Young Hyun is one of the most important characters in the second season and is also the main antagonist who will face off against the main character, Yoon Ga Min.
The drama " Study Group" itself is an adaptation of the popular webtoon of the same name. The story focuses on Yoon Ga Min, a high school student who dreams of excelling in academics. However, instead of excelling in her studies, she possesses an extraordinary talent for fighting.
To pursue her dream of entering college, Ga Min forms a study group at a school known for its troubled past. In the first season, Hwang Minhyun successfully portrayed Yoon Ga Min and received widespread praise for his performance.
The drama also received positive responses from international audiences. According to data from the platform Viki, Study Group ranked among the top five most popular shows in over 140 territories, demonstrating its global popularity.
In the second season, Hwang Minhyun is confirmed to reprise his role as Yoon Ga Min after completing his mandatory military service through alternative military service. The actor's return is one of the reasons for the increased fan enthusiasm for the continuation of the story.
Now, with Hyunsuk joining the cast as Ji Young Hyun, many viewers are curious to see how the dynamics and battles between the two characters will develop. Hyunsuk debuted as a member of CIX in 2019. Two years later, he began expanding his career into acting through various web dramas.
Some of the projects he has starred in include Best Mistake, When I Fell in Love with a Delinquent, The World You Are Falling Into, The Chairman Is Level 9, The Probability of Meeting Romance on a Trip Season 3.5, and Me, Myself, and I.
