Who is Sung Il-Hwan from Solo Leveling? Here is a profile of the character

So far in Solo Leveling, we’ve encountered several intriguing characters, but there are still many more to be introduced in the anime. Both the light novel and the manhwa have given us a glimpse of some fascinating personalities, one of whom is Sung Il-Hwan. Get ready for his upcoming appearance in the anime and learn more about this enigmatic figure!

Who is Solo Leveling’s Sung Il-Hwan?

Sung Il-Hwan is an elite hunter and the father of Jinwoo and Jinah. In his younger days, before magic beasts were even recognized, he was a firefighter. It was during this time that he encountered a woman named Park Kyung-Hye, whom he fell deeply in love with and eventually married. Together, they raised two children, Jinwoo and Jinah, for whom they would do anything.

Upon the unearthing of mythical creatures, Sung Il-Hwan forsook his career in the fire department to assume the role of a hunter. Swiftly building his prowess, he confronted increasingly formidable adversaries, ultimately earning him one of the earliest S-class hunter titles in South Korea. During that era, though, the ranking system was still under development, thus denying Sung Il-Hwan the perks associated with contemporary high-ranking hunters.

Approximately a decade prior to the central narrative of “Solo Leveling”, it was announced that Sung Il-Hwan had perished. This occurred following his incarceration within a dungeon. However, before he succumbed to starvation and dehydration, Il-Hwan was miraculously discovered and saved by the Rulers. They bestowed upon him their powers and tasked him with a mission – Sung Il-Hwan’s objective became to eliminate the newly emerged Shadow Monarch. With no alternative and unable to rejoin his family or return home, Il-Hwan was compelled to accept their proposition.
