“Study Group” is a new webtoon-adapted Korean drama. It tells the fierce story behind the college entrance exam happening at the worst school in the universe, Yusung Technical High School.
Promising idol actor Hwang Min Hyun will portray the main character, Yoon Ga Min. He is a teenager who dreams of becoming the top student despite lacking academic skills. No matter how hard he studies and how much he receives help, his name always ends up at the bottom of the school ranking.
