In the world of Solo Leveling, Cha Hae-In stands out as a top-tier S-rank hunter, with few equals among female hunters in Korea. Her exceptional swordsmanship and reluctance towards her fellow hunters are well known. However, this changes when she encounters Sung Jin-Woo, an enigmatic E-rank hunter. As time goes on, Hae-In becomes increasingly intrigued by Jin-Woo, eventually developing feelings for him.

Initially in the story of Solo Leveling, Cha Hae-In and Sung Jin-Woo were not acquainted with each other. However, Jin-Woo might have recognized Hae-In’s name because she was well-known as Korea’s ninth highest ranked hunter. Their only shared aspect being their profession, they eventually crossed paths. Over the course of the narrative, a natural bond forms between Cha Hae-In and Jin-Woo, causing many readers to root for their partnership.

Sung Jin-Woo’s Scent Attracts Cha Hae-In

Jin-Woo’s Scent Is Unique to Cha Hae-In

In the world of Solo Leveling, Cha Hae-In stands out among all hunters due to her exceptional ability to perceive the scent of mana. The stronger the mana a magical beast or fellow hunter holds, the more acutely she picks up their smell. This heightened sensitivity might be the reason behind Hae-In’s aloof and reserved demeanor around other hunters, as their combined scents with those of the magical beasts can become overpowering to her.

From another perspective, Hae-In finds Jin-Woo’s scent distinctive due to its lack of unpleasant odor. Quite remarkably, this is something she has never noticed among hunters or magical beasts she’s encountered during her career. The unfamiliarity of his scent piques her interest in him. Moreover, Jin-Woo’s intriguing aura further sparks Hae-In’s curiosity about his identity and hidden talents, leading her to want to learn more about him.

In a short while, Hae-In seems to have developed an awareness of Jin-Woo, much like an average girl who gets jittery whenever her crush is near. Additionally, she displays more personal emotions, unlike the cold and distant woman she used to be, who kept her feelings largely hidden most of the time.
