Solo Leveling: Why Cha Hae-In Fell in Love with Jin-Woo Explained

How did Jin-Woo manage to make Cha Hae-In fall head over heels for him?

Even before Sung Jinwoo rose to fame as the 10th S-ranked Hunter in Korea, Cha Hae-In had already established himself as a top-tier Hunter whose power and mana output rivaled that of Go Gun-Hee, Choi Jong-In, and Baek Yoon-Ho. With her battle expertise and unwavering courage, she can face the toughest battles with the Hunters Guild and even with Sung Jinwoo.

  • To be classified as an S-rank hunter, one should have enormous levels of mana to the point that the mana meter technology could not measure it at all. Since Cha Hae-In is one of those with S-rank status, her mana capacity or magic output upon awakening is already off the charts. This level of power gives her increased speed, strength, and durability, allowing her to face threats that would kill ordinary hunters without breaking a sweat.

As a result, Cha Hae-In became an in-demand hunter whose skills and abilities are perfect for killing high-level dungeon bosses. In fact, even series creator Chugong reveals that it is possible for Cha Hae-In to clear the Kargalgan dungeon by himself, unlike Choi Jong-In and Baek Yoon-Ho. Combining her raw power, speed, and fighting instincts, she can tackle dungeons that would overwhelm even her fellow S-rank hunters.

Cha Hae-In is stronger than typical S-Rank hunters

Throughout Solo Levelingthe series has made it pretty obvious that Cha Hae-In is stronger than most of his fellow S-rank hunters, not only in Korea but also in Japan. During the Jeju Island arc, the S-rank hunters who raid the ant queen and her nest place the responsibility of dealing the final blow on Cha Hae-In, as she was the only hunter strong enough to kill the ant queen in a single attack.

In fact, the Ant King targeted Cha Hae-In first among all the hunters in the Ant Queen's lair, recognizing her as the strongest and greatest threat. Even though she was knocked unconscious after a major blow from the Ant King, she still managed to survive her severe injuries that would normally have killed or maimed any other hunter in such a short amount of time.

I'm still far from strong enough. There I could only wait for others to save me. – Cha Hae-In

Also, during the sparring session between the Japanese and Korean S-rank hunters, Cha Hae-In impressed her fellow hunters with her speed and flawless footwork that allowed her to defeat Kanae Tawata and even land 14 punches on Atsushi Kumamoto. She was so fast and precise that her movements seemed almost untouchable, especially in a solo match.

Cha Hae-In is a master Swordsman

Cha Hae-In is otherwise known as “The Dancer” to her guild members, mostly due to her unparalleled swordsmanship. Although she hates this flashy moniker, she has the skills to back up her fine swordplay. Even the simplest, lowliest sword becomes a formidable weapon when wielded by her. As the saying goes, “It is not the sword but the hand that wields it,” which suits her perfectly.

A skilled swordsman like Cha Hae-In has quite a few unorthodox techniques at his disposal. The first is Sword Dance, which dramatically increases her attack speed, making her movements fast, fluid and deadly. The technique acts as a temporary boost that gives her the advantage in both offense and defense.

Then there's Cha Hae-In's Lightsaber, which turns her blade into pure light. Even if her sword breaks in battle, she can instantly create a new blade with this skill. It also allows her to take down opponents with greater ease. Finally, there is Quake of Provocation, which generates small but powerful earthquakes that damage all enemies within range.

By combining all these sword techniques, Cha Hae-In has the power to even defeat Igris (while using the Demon King's Longsword) with ease. She also angered Beru with her aggressive sword attacks that drove the creature into a frenzy.

Among all hunters in Solo LevelingCha Hae-In is the only one gifted with increased mana sensitivity. This allows her to perceive the flow of mana around her with incredible precision that others would miss. This also lets her know if her opponent is stronger or weaker than her.

However, this increased mana sensitivity can also backfire, as Cha Hae-In sometimes collapses when exposed to mana that is too overwhelming, just like she did against the Ant King on Jeju Island.
