The finale of Study Group left fans with their hearts racing, their minds buzzing, and one big question—will there be a Season 2? The webtoon-based K-drama, starring Hwang Min Hyun as the determined Yoon Ga Min, delivered a thrilling mix of action, school politics, and deep character struggles. But with so many loose ends, can we expect another season to tie it all together?
Season 1 Ending Explained
Yoon Ga Min’s intense battle against Pi Han Ul was a defining moment of the series. With Han Ul’s arrest and expulsion, it seemed like Yuseong Technical High School could finally breathe. But just when fans thought everything was falling into place, teacher Lee Han Gyeong resigned, leaving a shadow of uncertainty over the school’s future. What does this mean for Ga Min and his dream of reforming the system?
For those who have read the webtoon, the finale hinted at an even bigger storm ahead. Han Ul’s final words to Ga Min—“Then change it”—felt like more than just an ending. Could this be the start of his redemption arc? Fans are already speculating that he might return with a new perspective, adding more depth to the story.
What’s Next? Will There Be a Season 2?
Officially, there’s no confirmation of Study Group Season 2 yet. However, the webtoon is still ongoing, and what we saw in Season 1 was only a fraction of the full story. There are still many characters left to be introduced, untold subplots, and gaps that need to be filled.
One of the most exciting developments fans are hoping for is the rise of Park Geop Yeop. The standout character of Season 1, Geop Yeop has now landed an internship at Yoonbaek, the company owned by Han Ul’s father. His future remains uncertain, but if the webtoon’s storyline is followed, we could see him take on a darker, almost anti-hero role in Season 2. His journey is expected to be full of twists and unexpected alliances.
Another burning question is Ms. Lee’s resignation. The way her departure was framed felt suspicious, almost as if it was setting the stage for something bigger. Could she return in Season 2 with a hidden agenda? Or is she another casualty of the corrupt system Ga Min is trying to fight against?
What the Director says about Season 2
Director Sung Yon Il shared his thoughts on a potential second season, saying:
"I thought, 'Let's not get ahead of ourselves, and let's avoid creating an ending that feels like it's setting up for Season 2.'
I wanted Season 1 to feel complete on its own. I believe it's never too late to prepare for the next step afterward.
If a good opportunity arises for Season 2, we could spend the next year writing the script while waiting for Hwang Min Hyun to complete his military service."
This statement leaves the door open for a continuation, but it also suggests that fans might have to wait a while before any concrete plans are made.
Final Thoughts
Study Group has captured the attention of viewers with its compelling mix of high-stakes drama, action-packed sequences, and deep character arcs. While nothing is confirmed, the sheer amount of unfinished business in the story makes a second season not just possible, but necessary.
If Season 2 does happen, expect even bigger fights, shocking betrayals, and characters stepping into new and unexpected roles.
