Solo Leveling: Most Romantic Scenes Between Jin-Woo and Cha Hae-In

This article contains spoilers from the Solo Leveling anime and manhwa.

While romance isn’t a major part of *Solo Leveling*, the main character, Jin-Woo, is still capable of feeling love. Despite becoming incredibly powerful, he retains his human emotions, which are evident in his interactions with Cha Hae-In, particularly in the *Solo Leveling* manhwa.

The first two seasons of Solo Leveling focus mainly on Jin-Woo becoming stronger, but they also quietly set up a connection between him and Cha Hae-In. As the story progresses, their chemistry becomes clearer, and Cha Hae-In stands out as one of the few people who really gets and accepts Jin-Woo for who he is. Now, let’s revisit some of the most romantic moments between Jin-Woo and Cha Hae-In in Solo Leveling.

In the anime, Jin-Woo thought Cha Hae-In was as strong as Go Gun-Hee, but Cha Hae-In believed Go Gun-Hee was the powerful presence she detected from Jin-Woo in the manhwa. Later, Cha Hae-In was attracted to Jin-Woo’s scent, finding it unusually clean—unlike other hunters, his scent didn’t bother her. Before the day was over, she began investigating him, even calling a contact at the Korean Hunters Association to gather information. Her curiosity grew, and she realized her interest was becoming more than just professional. She even started researching him online, much like a teenage girl with a crush, fascinated by the mysterious hunter.
