In the series known as “Solo Leveling”, Park Kyung-Hye, Jin-Woo’s mother, overcomes her prolonged struggle with Eternal Slumber disease. This recovery is an extraordinary event that even ordinary people might find hard to accept, given she had been unconscious for four years and no medication seemed to help. However, as the story in “Solo Leveling” continues, will Jin-Woo’s mother fall ill again?

Park Kyung-Hye serves as one of the driving forces behind Jin-Woo’s decision to keep living in the series. She holds a significant place among the crucial individuals in Jin-Woo’s life, alongside her sister, Sung Jin-Ah. Despite being absent from their lives for years, the simple fact that she continues to live has been instrumental in keeping both Jin-Woo and Jin-Ah moving forward. It is fortunate that all his hard work and sacrifices in his hunter career, which included countless moments of blood, sweat, and tears, eventually led to him successfully reuniting with his mother.

How Jin-Woo’s Mother Contracted the Disease

Park Kyung-Hye Slept for Four Long Years

Ever since the enigmatic gates materialized and the hunters mysteriously awoke, our world has undergone an unprecedented transformation. As our planet gradually assimilated the mystical power from the essence stones embedded within the magical beasts and as hunters started to manifest mana, a chilling new affliction emerged – the Eternal Slumber. This merciless ailment targets those who cannot endure mana or supernatural energy, draining their vitality until they succumb to unconsciousness, leading them into a deep coma.

“Please let me take over the burden you’re carrying, Mom.”—Sung Jin-Woo

Park Kyung-Hye, Jin-Woo’s mother, was one of the unlucky individuals who fell victim to the Eternal Slumber disease. Previously a typical and caring wife to her husband and family, Park Kyung-Hye’s existence transformed following her submission to the illness’s influence. In the early storyline of Solo Leveling, Jin-Woo’s mother has been asleep for years, kept alive by life-support machinery fueled by the same energy sources as essence stones. There is no known remedy for the disease, leaving Kyung-Hye’s children heartbroken and isolated in a world without hope.

Jin-Woo Cured Her Mother with the Elixir of Life

The Elixir of Life Can Cure All Kinds of Ailments

Jin-Woo, intrigued by the system’s extraordinary capabilities, chose to test its limits. Upon discovering the Holy Water of Life, or the Elixir of Life as some call it, and understanding its potential benefits, Jin-Woo decided to administer it to his mother. Given that the system suggested this unique item could heal any ailment with immense magical power, even conditions like Eternal Slumber, he made this decision.

“Just how long was I asleep?”—Park Kyung-Hye

Before Jin-Woo could acquire the Elixir of Life, he first needed to enhance his strength and collect all the required components for its preparation. This powerful elixir has been a constant motivation for Jin-Woo, driving him to advance in levels and vanquish monsters in perilous encounters. The task of putting together the recipe was no trivial matter, as Jin-Woo had to overcome the Demon Castle before he could use the potion on his mother.

In a successful turn of events, Jin-Woo’s risk paid off when his mother regained consciousness following the administration of the potion. For the first time since joining the system, Jin-Woo’s eyes filled with tears upon witnessing his mother revived and in good health again. This heartfelt encounter marked a significant milestone for Jin-Woo as he achieved his personal goal in the series, bringing joy to both him and his mother.

What Happens After Her Recovery?

Thankfully, following Jin-Woo’s mother’s remarkable healing from Eternal Slumber, she was back to normal and returned home to her family. The Elixir of Life proved amazingly effective, enabling her to walk steadily once more after spending four long years in a hospital bed. Despite the ordeal, she managed to regain her strength.

Following her full recuperation, Jin-Woo’s mother resumed her daily household duties once more. She took up tasks such as cleaning, preparing meals, and even doing the laundry for her kids, much like any ordinary mom would. There isn’t a hint of her illness, making it seem as if she had never been sick at all. Her recovery has also led some individuals, including Jin-Ho’s father, to turn to Jin-Woo for help when they show signs of the disease. Given that there is no known cure for Eternal Slumber, he might be their last hope for survival in this world.

“Thank you, son. You kept your promise.”—Park Kyung-Hye

Later on in the story of Solo Leveling, Jin-Woo’s mother stands behind her children, especially Jin-Woo, in their choices. Despite Jin-Woo appearing to follow in his father’s footsteps, she makes an effort to grasp his circumstances, much as she did with her husband before he vanished for more than a decade.

As a die-hard fan, I must say that the recuperation of Jin-Woo’s mother represents one of the most pivotal moments in the captivating world of Solo Leveling. This transformation not only alters Jin-Woo’s personal priorities but also burdens him with an enormous responsibility: to prevent the impending doom that looms over our world, as a result of the relentless conflict between the Monarchs and the Rulers. It’s high time for Jin-Woo to broaden his perspective and grasp the gravity of the situation, now that he has closed this significant chapter in his life.
