Say Hello to Jin-Woo's New Lover in Solo Leveling Season 3

This article contains spoilers from the Solo Leveling manhwa.

In Solo Leveling, Jin-Woo is never lacking in confidence and power. At the same time, he is never lacking in terms of love interests who either want to fight by his side or receive his attention and protection. Many girls are eyeing Jin-Woo in Solo Leveling, but Cha Hae-In beats them all in terms of dedication and relentless desire to keep up with the strongest hunter in Korea.

However, Solo Leveling Season 3 is expected to introduce a new lover for Sung Jin-Woo. In comparison to Cha Hae-In, this new girl is more popular and widely admired not only for her looks but also for her confidence. She is likely to stir drama next season, as her existence could contrast sharply with Cha Hae-In’s nature. Who is this girl, and is she Sung Jin-Woo’s type?

Jin-Woo’s new love interest in Solo Leveling Season 3 is Yoo Soo-Hyun.
Yoo Soo-Hyun is an active model, actress, and low-profile A-rank hunter.

Solo Leveling Season 3 is yet to be announced, but it is expected to cover the Ahjin Guild story arc, which will see the arrival of Sung Jin-Woo’s new love interest, Yoo Soo-Hyun. She was supposed to appear in Solo Leveling Season 2, but for some reason, her debut scene was not adapted, making fans disappointed and eager to see her finally receive the anime treatment she deserves.

For those who aren’t aware, Yoo Soo-Hyun is Yoo Jin-Ho’s cousin. She is an inactive A-rank hunter who, according to her origin story from the Solo Leveling: Arise game, left the profession after a close encounter during a dungeon raid that almost cost everyone’s lives. This convinced her to step away from the hunter industry despite holding a higher rank than anyone else.

Now, Yoo Soo-hyun works as a model and actress, beloved by the people of Korea. Like Jin-Woo, she is popular for her charm and poise, making fans eager to see her interactions with Jin-Woo. When next to each other, Jin-Woo and Yoo Soo-Hyun look like the perfect couple, making it hard for onlookers to ignore the chemistry between them, especially after Yoo Soo-Hyun joins the Ahjin Guild as its official member.

Yoo Soo-Hyun Will Steal Cha Hae-In’s Spotlight

Cha Hae-In only wants one thing from Sung Jin-Woo in Solo Leveling Season 3, and that is to join the Ahjin Guild as its official member. She is more than willing to leave the Hunters Guild and abandon her post as vice-master just to be with Jin-Woo in his newly established guild. However, instead of allowing Cha Hae-In to join, Jin-Woo accepts Yoo Soo-Hyun instead.

Of course, Cha Hae-In wouldn’t accept this decision easily, especially after she went above and beyond to join the Ahjin Guild. Not only did she defeat Igris in a solo match, but she also faced Beru and risked her life for the second time around. Her efforts did not amount to anything, leaving her disheartened as she watched Yoo Soo-Hyun gain attention and favor from Jin-Woo.

After seeing Yoo Soo-Hyun’s viral selfie with Jin-Woo, Cha Hae-In couldn’t help but feel a sting of jealousy and frustration. She even questioned Jin-Woo’s decision in her mind, wondering why he would choose an A-rank hunter over an S-rank like herself, whose combat prowess had been proven time and again in life-or-death situations.

Cha Hae-In Ends Up Winning Jin-Woo’s Heart

As the plot unfolds in Solo Leveling, it is revealed that Sung Jin-Woo only accepted Yoo Soo-Hyun in the Ahjin Guild over Cha Hae-In because she has zero interest in joining dungeon raids. In addition, she was an inactive hunter who mostly spent her time on her modeling and acting career, making it easy for the Ahjin Guild to operate in Jin-Woo’s best interests.

All this time, Cha Hae-In was wrong to assume that Jin-Woo is attracted to Yoo Soo-Hyun. His decision to accept her into the Ahjin Guild was for convenience and not because of other unnecessary reasons. At the end of the day, Cha Hae-In still holds the most special place in Jin-Woo’s heart, and no one, not even Yoo Soo-Hyun, would ever replace her.
