Don’t Sleep on These 5 Characters in Solo Leveling Season 2 Who Will Play the Biggest Roles

Calling all anime fans! Solo Leveling‘s highly anticipated sequel arrives on January 4, 2025, sparking excitement worldwide. Season 1 turned a beloved story into a household name with its high-quality production and faithful adaptation of the source material.

Solo Leveling: ReAwakening revisits key moments from the first season while teasing what’s next for the protagonist, Sung Jinwoo. As the anime promises to rework the original manhwa and give more focus to side characters, Solo Leveling fans are in for an exhilarating and action-packed experience in Season 2.

With the Jeju Island arc heating up, here are the top 5 characters fans are sure to love in Solo Leveling Season 2.

5 Solo Leveling characters set to captivate fans in Season 2

Baek Yoonho

In the world of Solo Leveling, hunters enjoy the best privileges, with the hierarchy system clearly placing S-rank hunters at the top as the strongest.

Baek Yoonho is the first S-rank hunter fans are introduced to, and he’s already made a memorable appearance in the ReAwakening film, with fans going wild over his first encounter with our MC, where he becomes timid in Jinwoo’s presence.

Yoonho is also the master of the second biggest guild in South Korea, the White Tiger Guild. He has the power to transform into a mystical white beast and plays a key role in the Jeju Island arc. His transformation is gradual, and the closer he gets to the White Beast’s original form, the stronger he becomes.

Go Gunhee

Talks about S-rank hunters and guilds would be incomplete without addressing the Hunter Association and its chairman, Go Gunhee. At over 80 years old, he is one of the oldest S-rank hunters in the Solo Leveling world.

Go Gunhee is one of the few who discovers Sung Jinwoo’s incredible strength and reawakening early in the story. His selfless nurturing and support, without seeking personal gain, wins over both manhwa fans and our cold protagonist.

Season 2 is likely to introduce Go Gunhee’s first meeting with Jinwoo, a highly anticipated moment for manhwa fans.

Hwang Dongsoo

Solo Leveling Season 1 didn’t shy away from showing the ruthless, cold-blooded side of Sung Jinwoo. The massacre of the entire C-rank party at the hands of our MC remains one of the most vivid memories for fans.

However, the anime teased Hwang Dongsuk’s final warning to Jinwoo about his menacing brother, a fellow S-rank hunter, who will hunt him down—and the wait will be over in Season 2. Hwang Dongsoo is a Korean-born S-Rank Hunter who actually leaves Korea to join the famous U.S.-based guild called the Scavenger Guild.

Hwang Dongsoo is an arrogant man with a short fuse, fully aware of his power. He won’t hesitate to threaten others, and fans can expect him to target Jinwoo’s loved ones in Season 2.

Cha Hae-in

Though Sung Jinwoo steals most of the spotlight in the show, there are a plethora of side characters and some pretty fun female cast members are scattered throughout the series. Often overshadowed by Jinwoo’s dominance, Cha Hae-In is Korea’s strongest female S-rank hunter and ultimately becomes his partner.

Although introduced much later in the manhwa, Cha Hae-In appeared early in the anime, reflecting her immense popularity among fans. She is also the vice guild master of the Hunters Guild, which ranks among the top 3 most powerful S-rank hunters in South Korea.

Cha Hae-In plays a key role in the story, with her prominence in the Jeju Island arc. She’s sure to steal the spotlight in Season 2 as well.

Baran: The Final Dungeon Boss

After covering Jinwoo’s allies, it’s time to spotlight the villains who push our beloved MC to level up and rise as the world’s strongest hunter. So, who will be Jinwoo’s greatest foe in Season 2? The answer is clear—the dungeon’s monsters, especially the formidable dungeon bosses.

Arguably, the most thrilling arc of the entire Solo Leveling manhwa is the Demon Castle, where Jinwoo faces powerful foes on his journey to conquer the castle and reach the 100th floor. If the anime adapts the Jeju Island arc, it must highlight Jinwoo’s pursuit of power at the Demon Castle.

The most memorable enemy fans can look forward to in Season 2 is the Demon King, Baran. He rides a menacing Wyvern and attacks Jinwoo with his thunderous long sword from above. These battles are sure to be the most exciting moments of Season 2.

Solo Leveling manhwa can be read on Webtoons, while the anime is available to watch on Crunchyroll
