In the Anime of Solo Leveling, protagonist Sung Jinwoo has several potential partners who are into him. Fans were able to vote in 2020 to determine who the best waifu is. This choice fell on a somewhat unusual partner.
Attention, spoiler: This paragraph contains a small spoiler about the identity of Sung Jinwoo’s later wife.
What kind of vote is this? The Kakaopage site is home to many Korean webtoons and awards the best stories every year. In 2020, fans from Korea were to vote for the best couple.
Solo Leveling won the first prize. The protagonist Sung Jinwoo and his better half ultimately decided the race in their favor. However, the hero of Solo Leveling is not seen with his later wife Cha Hae-In, but with his shadow soldier Beru.
Thus, fans prioritized the bromance of the hero over his actual marriage. The couple is obviously an insider joke. But there’s a good reason for that.
Hero of Solo Leveling has multiple fangirls and fanboys
Why are they a good couple
? After Beru was defeated by the protagonist in Season 2, he joins his shadow army. He is extremely emotional, often crying in awe and almost obsessively adoring his master.
Later, it is also mentioned, that he takes care of Jinwoo’s family. He cleans the household and even watches Korean soap operas on TV with the family. Therefore, he is humorously referred to as Jinwoo’s actual wife.
The actual marriage of Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-in is not depicted until after 2020 in the webtoon. Accordingly, readers could not have known that they would ultimately become a couple, even though there were some signs for it.
Who is the character? In Season 2, Beru appears as the main antagonist. He is a humanoid form of the ant king. He possesses incredible speed and power, so that even the Japanese hunters are no match for him.
After Jinwoo’s victory over the ant king, he extracts his shadow and adds him to his own army.
Another meme is that almost every female character seems to have a crush on the protagonist. Therefore, a fan made a joke and created Sister Leveling, where the stepsister suddenly becomes attracted to Jinwoo: In a questionable parody of Solo Leveling, the hero likes his sister more than he actually should
