This article contains spoilers from the Solo Leveling manhwa.

Solo Leveling stands out as one of the top power fantasy series, and fans eagerly await further escalation when Season 3 arrives. Viewers are excited to witness Sung Jin-Woo’s thrilling battles against more formidable adversaries, yet they equally anticipate the unfolding romantic subplot between him and the strongest female hunter in Korea, Cha Hae-In, a development that has been eagerly awaited by many.

In simpler terms, Cha Hae-In is generally considered the top female character in the series “Solo Leveling.” She has been making significant progress in capturing Jin-Woo’s affection, leaving other women who are interested in him far behind. However, things may change when a new love interest for Jin-Woo is introduced in Season 3, potentially leading to Cha Hae-In losing her position.

Sung Jin-Woo is widely recognized as one of Korea’s most admired bachelors, not just for his striking good looks but also for his remarkable character. It’s no surprise that numerous women yearn to know him more intimately and be close to him. From B-rank healer Lee Joo-Hee to the powerful hunter Esil and even the nurse at the hospital, many are smitten by Jin-Woo, while he currently shows no interest in dating.

Despite dating not being high on Jin-Woo’s agenda due to financial constraints, the author of Solo Leveling made sure to incorporate love into his story. One of the several potential love interests introduced was Lee Joo-Hee. However, after recognizing that she couldn’t maintain pace with Jin-Woo, she chose to relocate.

Later on, Cha Hae-In steps into the story, eventually taking Joo-Hee’s role. She is known as the most powerful female hunter in Korea, boasting an exceptional ability to detect mana due to her heightened sense of smell. This unique trait led her to Jin-Woo, a hunter who was once ranked E and had no offensive scent. Over time, their relationship deepens, with Cha Hae-In growing fond of Jin-Woo as the narrative progresses in the series Solo Leveling.

In Season 3 of Solo Leveling, Jin-Woo’s primary love interest, Cha Hae-In, faces competition from another suitor – the captivating Yoo Soo-Hyun, who happens to be Yoo Jin-Ho’s cousin. While Cha Hae-In dedicates herself entirely to her hunter career, Yoo Soo-Hyun, apart from being a successful and well-known actress and model, secretly possesses the skills of a hunter as well.

It was initially planned for character Yoo Soo-Hyun to make an appearance in Solo Leveling Season 2. However, due to factors such as runtime management and pace maintenance, her debut scene ended up getting removed from the season. Yet, fans can expect to see her in the following season, where she will be introduced as Yoo Jin-Ho’s cousin and a potential love interest for Jin-Woo. Just like the other female characters, Soo-Hyun is portrayed as stunningly beautiful and confident, able to hold her own alongside Jin-Woo without feeling self-conscious about her appearance or stature.

Yoo Soo-Hyun, being Jin-Ho’s cousin, finds an effortless path to meet Jin-Woo. She’s been eagerly waiting for the chance to engage with him one-on-one, as he’s gained immense popularity following his exceptional showing on Jeju Island. Unfortunately, this puts Cha Hae-In in a tough spot, as she now has to work harder than ever to steal a special moment with Jin-Woo.

Though fans may yearn for Cha Hae-In to mingle with Sung Jin-Woo and Yoo Jin-Ho within the Ahjin Guild, it seems she won’t be granted entry. Despite her determined effort to persuade Jin-Woo to endorse her guild application, her hopes of joining the Ahjin Guild remain unfulfilled. As a result, Cha Hae-In will continue to serve as Vice Master in the Hunters Guild under the leadership of Choi Jong-In, the Ultimate Soldier, during Season 3 and beyond.

Yoo Soo-Hyun says, “I’m going to encounter the person who disrupted Lee Min-Sung’s press conference and vanished mysteriously! That’s who I’ll be meeting next!

In contrast to Yoo Soo-Hyun’s case, Jin-Woo welcomes her into the Ahjin Guild. This development will certainly create a stir, with Cha Hae-In learning about it quickly through news and social media platforms. Even more so, she might even come across the first collective selfie of Ahjin Guild members, which Yoo Soo-Hyun shared online. This could lead to feelings of sadness in Cha Hae-In, causing her to wonder why Jin-Woo opted for an A-rank hunter instead of an S-rank like herself to join the guild.

While fans of Solo Leveling are aware that Yoo Soo-Hyun’s involvement may be somewhat limited due to her non-hunter status, this means she won’t have as many chances to interact with Jin-Woo. A similar scenario applies to Cha Hae-In, given Jin-Woo’s preference for operating solo, in the world of Solo Leveling.
