Will actor Ha Jung-woo meet "rising star" Byun Woo-seok?

On the 23rd, Ha Jung-woo was surrounded by rumors of a special appearance in Netflix's new original series "Solo Leveling." In response, his agency Workhouse Company issued an official statement to StarNews: "Nothing has been confirmed yet."

It is reported that in the drama, Ha Jung-woo will be offered the role of S-rank hunter Hwang Dong-soo. He appears as one of the main villains opposing the protagonist Sung Jin-woo in the original work.

The original web novel and webtoon of "Solo Leveling" are a mega-hit IP with 14.3 billion cumulative global views. This will be reborn as a live-action series featuring an extravagant lineup including "rising star" actor Byun Woo-seok and Han So-hee.

Ha Jung-woo is being mentioned for a special appearance, further drawing attention. Ha Jung-woo boasts deep ties with the production team of "Solo Leveling." He has collaborated on multiple works with co-directors Lee Hae-jun and Kim Byeong-seo, including the film "Baekdu Mountain" (2019), and with production company Sanai Pictures on films such as "The Faceless" (2012) and "The Age of Rebellion: Gangdo" (2014).

"Solo Leveling" tells the story of Sung Jin-woo (played by Byun Woo-seok), an "E-rank hunter" considered the weakest among hunters who protect the real world from monsters beyond the gate. He awakens in a life-threatening crisis and levels up to become the "strongest hunter" to save the world.

Meanwhile, Ha Jung-woo is currently filming his new movie "Inside Men: The Birth of Villains" (working title).
