Every Love Interest of Sung Jin-Woo in Solo Leveling
Who’s Crushing on Sung Jin-Woo?
In the first two seasons of Solo Leveling, fans witnessed how Jin-Woo captivated a number of female characters, hunters and civilians alike, with his looks, personality, power, and heart. Even without the power of the system steering his growth, he was able to attract aB-rank healer like Lee Joo-Heewith his strong resolve and determination. They had obvious chemistry, and Jin-Woo almost took her out on a date until the double dungeon incident happened.
While the deadly encounter with the giant statues cost Jin-Woo Joo-Hee’s heart, the drastic change in his looks and build effortlessly caught the eye of other women. Even the hospital nurse was not an exception, as she quickly asked for Jin-Woo’s number. Then there’s Jin-Ah’s close friend, Han Song-Yi, who started admiring Jin-Woo afterthe Red Gate incidentwhere he protected her from harm.

Of course, Jin-Woo’s streak did not stop there, as he successfully attractedPark Hee-Jin of the White Tiger Guildas well. She was one of the more aggressive girls, as the Solo Leveling novel revealed she wanted to recruit Jin-Woo by herself and stay with his party as much as possible. After Park Hee-Jin, Jin-Woo’s commanding aura and mysterious power also captivated the demon Esil Radiru, not to mention Cha Hae-In.
Solo Leveling Season 3 Could Introduce Jin-Woo’s New Love Interest
Enter Yoo Soo-Hyun, Actress and Model
As the plot unfolds in Solo Leveling, a potential love interest for Jin-Woo could still be introduced in Season 3. Funny, if Solo Leveling was a harem anime, Jin-Woo would probably already have a full-blown harem with how many girls are showing interest in him. These girls are all good-looking, but a strong contender by the name ofYoo Soo-Hyun could steal the spotlightaway from them in Solo Leveling season 3.
Fun fact: Yoo Soo-Hyun was supposed to appear in Solo Leveling Season 2, but the anime cut her debut scene from the manhwa. She is Yoo Jin-Ho’s cousin, who, according to her origin story in the Solo Leveling: Arise game, is an A-rank hunter who quit the dungeon raiding industry after an unfortunate incident. Without spoiling too much, she is a popular model who has the looks and body to die for.
“Wow! I’m in front of the real Sung Jin-Woo”—Yoo Soo-Hyun
Obviously, an elite hunter like Yoo Soo-Hyun already knows about Sung Jin-Woo and his growing reputation in Korea. Plus, she might even have more information about Jin-Woo because of Yoo Jin-Ho’s close relationship with thestrongest hunter in Korea. It’s only natural that she became interested in Jin-Woo, which could lead to her anime appearance next season.
Is Yoo Soo-Hyun Better Than Cha Hae-In?
A-Rank Hunter vs. S-Rank Hunter
While Yoo Soo-Hyun is a famous model and actress in Korea, Cha Hae-In is also popular for her reputation as the ninth S-rank hunter and thevice-master of the Hunters Guild. Both are successful in their chosen profession, and they’re clearly in a different league than any other female character in Solo Leveling. Perhaps the only difference is their hunter rank, as Cha Hae-In is one rank higher than Yoo Soo-Hyun.
However, Solo Leveling Season 3 could shake things up in favor of Yoo Soo-Hyun. Based on the manhwa, there would be an intriguing moment in the Ahjin Guild story arc where Cha Hae-In would get jealous of Yoo Soo-Hyun. Manhwa fans know it would be a sight to behold in Solo Leveling Season 3, as an A-rank hunter like Yoo Soo-Hyun could overwhelm an S-rank hunter like Cha Hae-In for a very simple reason.
“Can we take a selfie so I can upload it to my SNS profile?"—Yoo Soo-Hyun to Sung Jin-Woo
That said, many fans are eager to see how the plot unfolds inSolo LevelingSeason 3. WhetherYoo Soo-Hyun appears or not, her presence and role in the manhwa continue to spark curiosity among many fans, especially hardcore Cha Hae-In fans. Still, many fans are already aware of who among Jin-Woo’s love interests wins his elusive heart.
