As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that my beloved series “Solo Leveling” is stepping into reality with a live-action adaptation on Netflix! The news gets even better as the talented Byeon Woo-seok will bring our hero to life on screen. Can’t wait to see it unfold!
Since its debut in January 2024, Solo Leveling has soared as a top action anime, captivating audiences worldwide. Its animated adaptation not only topped charts but also set new records. Now, Netflix is venturing into live-action with this series, and they’ve even announced the main character actor already!
Byeon Woo-seok as Sung Jin-Woo
It has been verified that Netflix will produce a live-action Korean series based on the highly acclaimed action anime, Solo Leveling, which was awarded Anime of the Year in 2025.
Byeon Woo-seok, famed K-drama actor and model, is set to portray the character Sung Jin-Woo in an upcoming live-action adaptation. He’s recognized for his roles in hit series like Lovely Runner, The 20th Century Girl, and Strong Girl Nam-soon. Fans on platform X are raving about this casting decision, claiming that “Byeon Woo-seok fits Jin-Woo like a hand in a glove.” Some even note the striking resemblance between Sung Jin-Woo and Byeon Woo-seok.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but marvel at Byeon Woo-seok’s fame in South Korea, affectionately known as “만찢남” – a man as captivatingly depicted in a manhwa. This nickname is a testament to his strikingly similar visual aesthetics and physique to the artistry of Korean webtoons. His casting feels like the ultimate fulfillment for fans who’ve long envisioned Solo Leveling’s hero being brought vividly to life on the big screen in the upcoming live-action adaptation.
