Solo Leveling Season 3: Cha Hae-In Faces Unexpected Rival for Jin-Woo’s Heart!

by

Summary

  • Cha Hae-In will face a new romantic competition in Solo Leveling season 3 from A-Rank hunter Yoo Soo-Hyun.
  • The series focuses on Jin-Woo’s growth, delaying traditional romance development between him and Cha Hae-In.
  • Yoo Soo-Hyun’s appearance will introduce jealousy and insecurity to Cha Hae-In as she competes for Jin-Woo’s affection.

Supporters are eagerly anticipating Cha Hae-In’s development in “Solo Leveling Season 3“, following her unlucky turn of events during the Jeju Island arc of the second season, where she sustains severe injuries at the hands of the Ant King. This encounter brings Cha Hae-In closer to Jin-Woo than any other romantic interest, but a new contender set to emerge in the third season may turn out to be her fiercest competition in love.

To this point, the anime “Solo Leveling” doesn’t delve into the usual romantic progression between Cha Hae-In and Sung Jin-Woo. Instead, it emphasizes Jin-Woo’s journey, from his rise to power, capturing powerful shadows, to achieving his objectives. Although Cha Hae-In seems set as Jin-Woo’s primary love interest, the storyline hasn’t yet delved deeply into their relationship due to certain plot circumstances. Perhaps Season 3 will take a different approach?

This article contains spoilers from the Solo Leveling manhwa.

Cha Hae-In’s Next Rival in Love Will Be an A-Rank Hunter

Enter Yoo Soo-Hyun

  • First Webtoon Appearance: Chapter 67
  • First Novel Appearance: Chapter 56
  • Rank: A-Rank
  • Guild: Ahjin Guild

A diverse group of women, irrespective of their rank, find themselves drawn to Sung Jin-Woo for multiple personal reasons. For instance, the B-rank healer Lee Joo-Hee is captivated by his determination and courage as an E-rank hunter. In contrast, Han Song-Yi views him in a unique manner following his impressive display during the Red Gate incident. Similarly, Cha Hae-In finds herself drawn to Jin-Woo after discovering a tolerance for his presence that she doesn’t typically exhibit. Even supernatural beings like Esil Radiru are smitten by Jin-Woo’s power and commanding demeanor.

Yoo Soo-Hyun asked Yoo Jin-Ho, “It seems like you might be involved with Jin-Woo in some way. Could you please tone down your behavior as it’s coming off as a bit stalkerish?

As Jin-Woo ascends to greater heights, a growing number of female characters find themselves drawn to him. Given his handsome features, impressive physique, and unparalleled strength, it’s only natural that girls are drawn to join what could be described as Jin-Woo’s group of admirers. Fortunately, “Solo Leveling” differs from typical isekai or harem anime genres, where love interests often vie for Jin-Woo’s affection in ways both endearing and less than ideal.

In the future events, Cha Hae-In has taken the front in attempting to win over Jin-Woo’s affection, effectively displacing Lee Joo-Hee as the primary love interest for the top-tier hunter. However, her position could be jeopardized by the emergence of a new romantic interest set to appear in “Solo Leveling” season 3. This new adversary for Cha Hae-In’s affections is not Joo-Hee but Yoo Soo-Hyun, an A-rank hunter who shares familial ties with Yoo Jin-Ho.

Why Yoo Soo-Hyun Will Become a Threat to Cha Hae-In

Her Possible Role in Solo Leveling Season 3

Stepping into the limelight of the entertainment industry, I find myself recognized as one of the top female actresses and models, a title I wear with both humility and pride. My captivating looks, alluring physique, magnetic charm, and undeniable appeal draw men towards me like moths to a flame, eagerly following my footsteps. To make things even more enticing, I’m blessed with a winning personality that has captured the heart of none other than Jin-Woo. But that’s not all – I also share a special bond with Yoo Jin-Ho, a man very dear to Jin-Woo, adding another layer of intrigue to our connections.

“Wow! I’m in front of the real Sung Jin-Woo”—Yoo Soo-Hyun

Beyond her work in entertainment, Soo-Hyun is a top-tier A-rank hunter, capable of protecting and battling for herself. Although her initial raid didn’t go smoothly, resulting in her temporary absence from raids, this misstep doesn’t diminish the fact that she remains an A-rank hunter who might be on par with Woo Jin-Chul or Park Jong-Soo, the head of the Knights Guild.

Is Yoo Soo-Hyun Jin-Woo’s Ideal Woman?

Cha Hae-In Will Be Jealous of Soo-Hyun’s Relationship With Jin-Woo

In the storyline of Solo Leveling, character Yoo Soo-Hyun encounters Jin-Woo in real life during the Ahjin Guild Arc. Unlike Cha Hae-In who strives hard to be part of Jin-Woo’s guild and fight alongside him, Yoo Soo-Hyun receives an invitation to join the Ahjin guild effortlessly. This situation will undoubtedly irritate Cha Hae-In, as despite triumphing over Igris and Beru, she remains unable to become a member of the Ahjin guild.

Throughout the series, it’s never clear who Jin-Woo’s ideal woman is. However, Cha Hae-In suspects that Yoo Soo-Hyun matches Jin-Woo’s preferences when he invites her to join the Ahjin guild instead of her. In truth, she grows envious of Soo-Hyun, particularly after seeing their viral selfie with Jin-Woo on the internet. Cha Hae-In starts to question herself, wondering why Jin-Woo would pick a high-ranked hunter like Soo-Hyun over a superior hunter like her.

“Can we take a selfie so I can upload it to my SNS profile?”—Yoo Soo-Hyun to Sung Jin-Woo

In the third season of “Solo Leveling,” fans anticipating romantic developments between Cha Hae-In and Sung Jin-Woo can expect to be pleased, as Yoo Soo-Hyun is set to make an appearance. This new character may stir things up for Cha Hae-In, not by presenting a formidable enemy, but by being a potential love rival for the first time.
