Byeon Woo-seok, star of the upcoming Netflix live-action adaptation of "Solo Leveling," has given fans a glimpse of his look as protagonist Sung Jinwoo ahead of the show's release. The teaser comes via a GQ Korea cover feature rather than an official Netflix reveal, reflecting the sustained fan interest in the franchise as it continues to expand across formats following the success of its anime adaptation. No release date or plot details have yet been confirmed for the live-action series.

The Netflix adaptation is based on the popular South Korean webtoon and follows Sung Jinwoo, initially the weakest "E-Rank" hunter, who is granted powers by a mysterious System that allow him to level up into an elite S-Rank hunter. The anime version debuted in 2024 and has since produced two seasons. Alongside Byeon, who has previously appeared in K-dramas including "Lovely Runner" and "Record of Youth," the live-action cast includes Han So-hee as Cha Hae In and Kang You-seok as Yoo Jin-ho.
