Solo Leveling’s Creator Wants To Write a “What If” Story

It Would Be A Romance Story Between Jinwoo and Joohee

In the popular series Solo Leveling, the protagonist, Jinwoo, frequently attracts fan interest for potential romantic pairings. The two most favored characters by fans who envision themselves in these relationships are Cha Hae-In and Joohee. Both characters have shown signs of affection towards Jinwoo, making it reasonable to consider them as strong candidates to be with him.

In the world of Manhwa, it’s common knowledge that Sung Jinwoo reaches his canonical conclusion, ultimately ending up with Cha Hae-In. Over time, however, Joohee seems to fade into the background as the main narrative unfolds.

It seems that Joohee found it difficult to follow along with the events in the Solo Leveling tale, and her disadvantage only worsened this predicament. To put it another way, she was not optimistic about a successful conclusion involving Jinwoo from the start.

It’s been confirmed by the author of “Solo Leveling,” Chugong, that there was indeed a romantic relationship between them. Here’s what he shared:

Joohee’s mental state wasn’t strong enough to cope with the decisions Jinwoo was about to make, as she found it too challenging… Prior to parting ways, Jinwoo had developed feelings for Joohee.

Speaking from a place of deep empathy, I’d like to delve deeper into Joohee’s character. She stands as one of the embodiments of those affected by the peculiarities of this world, offering a poignant reflection of its abnormality.

Initially, I thought she was destined for a typical university life, but it seemed this young woman, who appeared so delicate, harbored an extraordinary ability that didn’t quite align with her demeanor. Reluctantly, she found herself drawn into an unusual realm.

At the culmination of Solo Leveling, Jinwoo’s ambition was to restore the peculiar world to its original state. Consequently, Joohee was liberated from her life in the peculiar world and resumed living as an ordinary girl. This development brought Jinwoo immense joy.

It seems that I may not have expressed my intended message clearly enough for easy understanding. Let me try rephrasing it.

It’s truly regrettable for fans of their couple that Chugong deeply felt he could have developed Joohee’s character further, which remains a missed opportunity.

One intriguing aspect is that Chugong plans to compose a “what if” tale, where Sung Jinwoo’s romantic journey unfolds with Joohee instead of Cha Hae-In. This hypothetical story could captivate readers greatly, considering the significance of Jinwoo’s love interest on the subsequent series, Ragnarok. Readers might even glimpse into a possible alternate offspring that Jinwoo and Joohee would have together.

Currently, this is merely a concept he’s considering exploring, but there’s no guarantee that Chugong will actually pursue it. Given this uncertainty, fans should bear in mind the possibility that it may not come to fruition.
