According to local reports, Han So Hee will possibly star in the Netflix series Solo Leveling, alongside Byeon Woo Seok.
Recently, a representative from Han So Hee’s agency, 9ato Entertainment, told MyDaily, “Solo Leveling is one of the projects currently under review.”
Solo Leveling tells the story of Sung Jin Woo, the weakest hunter among those who defend the world from monsters. Facing a life-or-death crisis, he awakens and levels up to become the strongest hunter who will save the world. It is based on the Naver web novel and webtoon of the same name.
The drama adaptation was announced this past January, and in July, Netflix announced the production of the series. Along with that, actor Byeon Woo Seok — who gained immense popularity worldwide through tvN’s Lovely Runner — was cast in the lead role of Sung Jin Woo.
Having made her name in the action genre through Netflix’s My Name and Gyeongseong Creature, Han is expected to take on the role of Cha Hae In, Korea’s only S-rank hunter and a character beloved by fans of the original work.
The webtoon has recorded approximately 14.3 billion views, achieving worldwide popularity, so the live-action adaptation is all the more highly anticipated. The series is directed by Lee Hae Joon and Kim Byung Seo of Ashfall, with Kakao Entertainment and Sanai Pictures taking charge of production.
More details about Solo Leveling are yet to come. Stay tuned!
