Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok‑joo, a coming‑of‑age rom‑com directed by Oh Hyun‑jong and starring Lee Sung‑kyung and Nam Joo‑hyuk, aired from November 16, 2016, to January 11, 2017, concluding its 16‑episode run in a satisfying way . The series follows collegiate athlete Kim Bok‑joo as she grows into her own, navigating love, family, and sport.

Despite the show’s popularity and cult following, MBC has not approved a Season 2, and sources suggest renewal is unlikely . Reviews note that the story arc arrived at a natural conclusion, wrapping up main character journeys pleasantly .

However, fans remain hopeful. A petition on Change.org gathered close to 900 signatures urging MBC to revisit Bok‑joo and Jung Joon‑hyung’s story—imagining possible futures like marriage, parenthood, or continued athletic success . Nevertheless, there’s been no official response from the network or creators.

In an alternate expansion of the universe, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok‑joo was adapted into a webtoon in June 2023, published weekly through Kakao Page, Naver Series, and international platforms . This format preserves the original characters and storyline, giving longtime fans a fresh way to revisit Bok‑joo’s world through artist Mano’s illustrations .

Lead actress Lee Sung‑kyung has expressed gratitude toward the fanbase and mentioned that discussions with the writer and director might be necessary for a potential sequel—but no formal plans have been announced.   

While there’s no confirmed Season 2 for Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok‑joo, the show’s emotional legacy endures through a successful webtoon adaptation and continued fan devotion. If MBC ever greenlights a sequel, it would be a major event—but for now, fans can enjoy Bok‑joo’s world in comic format and streaming reruns.
