Han So-hee Confirmed as Cha Hae-in in Netflix’s Solo Leveling Live-Action
Netflix confirmed in July 2025 that Byeon Woo-seok would star as Sung Jin-woo, the main character of Solo Leveling. His journey from the weakest E-Rank hunter to the most powerful Player has captured audiences worldwide, and fans praised Woo-seok as an excellent choice to portray both Jin-woo’s vulnerability and strength. The casting alone generated excitement, but the reveal of the female lead has brought even more attention to the project.
Netflix officially announced Han So-hee as Cha Hae-in, South Korea’s only female S-Rank Hunter and the Vice Guild Master of the Hunters Guild. This news created a wave of anticipation since Cha Hae-in is one of the most admired characters in the story. She is celebrated for her swordsmanship, unique sense of smell, and her relationship with Jin-woo that slowly grows throughout the narrative.
