In this Study Group Episode 7 recap, we’ll delve into the hilarious antics of the study group as they navigate yet another academic obstacle.
In Episode 7 of Study Group, things took a serious turn at Yusung Technical High School. During an assembly, the principal announced that an inspection would take place after Lee Han-kyung, a temporary teacher, filed a complaint. There was even talk about the school possibly shutting down. When Han-kyung was called on stage, it was revealed that she was a former student of Oh Jung-hwa, a late teacher and the mother of Geon-yeop.
Just as the situation in the assembly became tense, Ga-min stormed in and punched Han-wool. Han-wool quickly responded with a face kick, escalating the fight. Meanwhile, it was revealed that one of Han-wool’s backup fighters, Sun-cheol, had personal struggles. He wanted to study while working hard to collect money for his sick grandfather.
A Shocking Accusation and a Dangerous Plan
Ga-min and Sun-cheol crossed paths at the hospital, where they opened up about their reasons for fighting. Both had family members admitted there—Ga-min’s mother and Sun-cheol’s grandfather. However, things took a dark turn when two trainers from the Yeonbaek Gang arrived to take Sun-cheol away.
The next morning, news channels reported that Sun-cheol was the prime suspect in a murder case. This was a huge shock, but Ga-min refused to believe it. Sun-cheol had always been focused on his studies, making it unlikely that he would commit such a crime.
Se-hyun later presented statistics showing that juvenile crimes had increased since Han-wool’s arrival in the area. The lack of strict punishment for young offenders allowed crime rates to rise.
Late at night, Dae-cheol, a friend of Sun-cheol, approached Ga-min and begged him to help. He insisted that Sun-cheol was innocent but had been framed. Before he could say more, a Yeonbaek Gang fighter attacked him. Ga-min stepped in and knocked the gangster unconscious with a powerful punch.
Dae-cheol then revealed a shocking truth. Senior members of the Yeonbaek Gang would commit murders and blame younger high schoolers, forcing them to take the fall. This kept the real criminals safe while the students served their sentences. Ga-min shared this information with his group, but they were skeptical at first. However, they eventually agreed to help.
Infiltrating the Gang’s Hideout
Ga-min, Ji-woo, and Lee Jun disguised themselves as students from another school to sneak into the gang’s hideout. Their goal was to find the knife used in the murder. Using a drone, they discovered that Han-wool’s gang was on the fourth floor.
Just as they were about to execute their plan, they were nearly caught. Ga-min had to hide on the terrace but accidentally locked himself outside. Ji-woo and Lee Jun got separated. Ji-woo went to search for the knife, while Lee Jun ended up in a fight with a gangster who recognized them.
The situation became more dangerous when a fighter trainer captured Ji-woo. Meanwhile, in another location, Sun-cheol confessed to the detective that he had killed a man.
What Happens Next?
With Sun-cheol’s confession and Ji-woo being caught by the gang, things are looking grim. But is Sun-cheol really the murderer, or is he covering for someone else? Ga-min and his friends are taking huge risks to uncover the truth. The tension is rising, and the next episode will likely reveal shocking twists.
