Sung Jinwoo

Sung Jin-Woo was an E-Class Hunter, which are people gifted with a special power that allowed them to hunt monsters. However, due to his low rank, he was extremely weak, and he risked his life just to get enough money to pay the hospital bills to keep his mother alive.

However, after almost sacrificing himself to save the members... [information deleted]

of his group, he gains a video game-like ability.

Alias: The World's Weakest (formerly), The World's Strongest Hunter (formerly), Lord of Death, King of the Dead, King of Shadows, God of Death, Phantom.

Classification: Human, Hunter (former), Player (former), S-Rank Hunter (former), Guild Master Ah-Jin (former), Shadow Monarch, Detective.

Sung Jin-Woo is a humble and benevolent serious individual who cares deeply for his family and has a burning desire to become stronger. As a result, he shares a close relationship with his sister and mother, and rarely wastes an opportunity to refine his skills and gain more power. His deep bond with his family also makes him absolutely ruthless towards anyone who dares to hurt them, as shown when he slaughtered Groctar and his minions for attempting to kill Jinah, and murdered Hwang Dongsoo for torturing Jinho.

It should be noted that despite being the strongest Hunter in the world, Jinwoo is not particularly arrogant and is polite and calm in person. He is also mostly indifferent to materialistic desires and can be very selfless, as shown when he teleported to Jeju Island without a second thought to save the other Korean S-rank Hunters from certain death. In battle, however, he is ruthless, as he tends to slaughter his enemies indiscriminately, and even somewhat disdainful, as shown when he mocked the Ant King by calling him a "mere insect" and mocked Kandiaru for the flaws he made in his System design.

In contrast, when he was weak, Jinwoo was very timid and insecure due to his incompetence as a hunter and his complicated financial situation. Although he cared deeply for his family and spent years risking his life raiding for their sake, he was secretly ashamed of his circumstances, as shown when he lied to Joohee about why he had chosen hunting as his career path. However, his traumatic experience in the Double Dungeon would give him everything he needed to become stronger, and being betrayed and left to die by his fellow hunters while trapped inside the dungeon would teach him the hard lesson that his kindness could be exploited by others for their own gain. As a result,

Sung Jinwoo is the main protagonist of Solo Leveling . He is the strongest hunter in the world and the second Shadow Monarch, having inherited the position from his predecessor Ashborn .

Originally an infamously weak E-rank Hunter, Jinwoo was given the opportunity of a lifetime when he was selected as the System's Player, giving him the unique ability to grow in strength without restraint. As a result, by taking advantage of the opportunities offered to him by the System, Jinwoo eventually rose to power as humanity's greatest Hunter.

Sung Jinwoo is a tall, handsome, and muscular young man with grey eyes, sharp facial features, and black hair with bangs that reaches his eyes. When he uses his powers or feels intense emotions, his eyes glow purple and his facial features become more pronounced. He prefers dark clothing and is often seen wearing elegant, stylish outfits ranging from tailored suits to long, hooded coats. After defeating the Monarchs in the revised timeline created by the Reincarnation Cup, he also begins wearing a black glove on his left hand to cover the burn scars he received there during his rematch with Antares.
Before being chosen as the System Player, Jinwoo had a very different appearance. He was shorter and had a noticeably thinner physique, with long, bushy hair that covered his ears. His face was very childlike, making him look even younger than his sister Jinah (who was still a teenager at the time), and he tended to dress in casual attire, favoring a simple blue hoodie and jeans. It was also common to see him with bandages on his arms and legs due to the frequent injuries he received in raids.
