Kwak announced that the work written by Chugong and the late artist DUBU , from the REDICE studio, is in the process of being adapted into a live-action series in South Korea , known as K-Drama.
The Solo Leveling manhwa, based on Chugong 's novel series and featuring illustrations by DUBU , launched on Webtoon services in March 2018 and concluded in December 2021. The work has been a global phenomenon, attracting fans from all over the world with its exciting plot and supernatural world.
This news comes at a time when excitement for Solo Leveling is at an all-time high, as it was previously announced that the series will inspire an anime premiering in January 2024. The news of the anime was revealed by Crunchyroll during their industry panel at Anime Expo in July 2022.
The story of Solo Leveling takes place in a world in which “portals” mysteriously appear that connect our reality with a different dimension. As a result, some humans gain supernatural powers and are known as “hunters.” Jinwoo Sung, a low-ranking hunter, is considered “humanity's weakest hunter.” However, his life changes drastically when he encounters high-ranking dungeon crawlers in an unexpected location and accepts a mysterious quest that offers him a window of opportunity at the most critical moment.
Additionally, during the interview, Heaeun Kwak shared additional information about the future of Solo Leveling. He announced that in early 2024, fans will be able to enjoy Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, a spin-off set in the fascinating universe created by Chu Gong. The script will be written by Daul, while the Redice Studio team will be in charge of the illustrations.
The news of the Korean drama and the spin-off Solo Leveling: Ragnarok will undoubtedly excite fans of this epic story of hunters and supernatural powers. The wait is still long, but the excitement is palpable for what the future of Solo Leveling has in store for fans around the world.
