Who is Sung Jin Woo?
The protagonist of the web novel Solo Leveling is Sung Jin-Woo (성진우, seongjin-wu). He was a very poor E-Rank Hunter before he was selected as the Player of the System, which gave him the opportunity of a lifetime and unrestricted power growth.
By utilizing the opportunities the System gave him, Jinwoo finally rose to become the second Shadow Monarch and the greatest hunter in human history.
Biography
Sung Jin-Woo is the eldest child of Sung Il-Hwan and Park Kyung-Hye, having grown up older than his brother Sung Jin-Ah. His father, a firefighter, entered the Dungeon shortly after he was awakened and quickly vanished.
Jin-Woo, a graduate, started working in the dungeons to support his family after learning that his mother had the Eternal Slumber Disease. He also took care of his younger sister while working there.
Appearance
Tall and handsome, Sung Jin-Woo has angular features, gray eyes, and black hair. When he uses his powers or becomes furious, his eyes shine a bright purple. He nearly always wears dark clothing, especially in black.
Before this, Jin-Woo didn’t have a great appearance and, because of his lack of money, wore simple clothes. All that changed, though, when the System selected him.
Personality
Jinwoo is a confident man who aspires to be in a position of power and has a strong sense of family devotion. He is devoted to his sister Sung Jinah and mother Park Kyung-Hye.
It should also be highlighted that, despite being the strongest hunter in the world, Jinwoo is a genuinely nice and gentle person.
Powers
Sung Jin-Woo was not as strong as other Hunters of higher ranks, even though he was an Awakened Human with physical prowess greater than that of regular humans, and he almost died several times in lower-level dungeons.
However, he became a Player and was able to level up and gain stronger almost like a gamer following his Reawakening in the Double Dungeon. Since then, Jin-Woo has increased his level steadily by finishing the several dungeons, even the special ones to which he had access only, and by using the System to enhance his abilities.
