Solo Leveling Live-Action Show Reveals Cha Hae-in and Go Gunhee Actors
The live-action Solo Leveling adaptation has announced more casting for its first season. Han Sohee will play Cha Hae-in and Lee Sungmin will play Go Gunhee, joining Byeon Wooseok as Sung Jinwoo. The series may eventually cover story events up to the Jeju Island arc.
The live-action Solo Leveling series is a Netflix project first announced on July 8, 2025. It follows the franchise's earlier popularity as a South Korean novel and manhwa, then its 2024 anime adaptation by Aniplex and A-1 Pictures, which helped make the title globally known.
Netflix confirmed new first-season casting on October 7, 2026. Han Sohee will portray Cha Hae-in, Lee Sungmin will portray Go Gunhee, and Byeon Wooseok remains attached as Sung Jinwoo. The adaptation may eventually reach story events up to the Jeju Island arc.
The casting news may energize existing Solo Leveling fans and K-drama viewers, especially those who follow Han Sohee, Lee Sungmin, and Byeon Wooseok. A Netflix live-action version could introduce the story to audiences who have not read the manhwa or watched the anime, potentially expanding global interest in Korean genre adaptations. It may also raise expectations around fidelity to the source, affecting how fans discuss future seasons and streaming releases.
