Solo Leveling Star Taito Ban on Why Jinwoo Has Become an Anime Fave

As a seasoned gamer and anime enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that Taito Ban’s portrayal of Jinwoo Sung in “Solo Leveling” is nothing short of exceptional. His performance breathes life into a character who resonates deeply with us gamers and anime fans alike.


Solo Leveling made a strong debut when its anime version was released this year, and much of that success can be attributed to the exceptional voice acting by Taito Ban. Not only did he voice the main character, Jinwoo Sung, but he has also played significant roles in popular series like Go Go Loser Ranger, Kaiju No. 8, Oshi no Ko, Vinland Saga, and One-Punch Man. Recently, we at ComicBook had the chance to interview Taito Ban at Anime Expo, where he discussed why Jinwoo Sung resonated with anime fans.

After the hit success of its anime adaption, it didn’t take long for Solo Leveling to announce plans for a second season. With ample source material remaining from the original WEBToon, this is particularly exciting given that Jinwoo Sung’s storyline will further unfold in the comic series through Solo Leveling Ragnarok.

Solo Leveling: Jinwoo is One of Us

Taito Ban explained why fans connect with Jinwoo and will likely continue to do so during the second season: “Jinwoo’s circumstances allow fans to relate, and his unwavering determination is commendable. What makes him appealing is how he approaches challenges with fervor but in a humble manner. I believe that’s what makes him an engaging character.”

As a hardcore gamer (and Solo Leveling fan), if you’re like me and want to be fully caught up before season 2 drops, I strongly recommend checking out the first season on Crunchyroll. Here’s how they describe Jinwoo Sung’s story: “Labeled as the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind, E-rank hunter Jinwoo Sung barely survives raids just to keep himself alive. With mounting hospital bills from his mother and tuition fees for his sister, he has no choice but to risk it all on these dangerous missions. When an opportunity arises for a substantial payout, Jinwoo takes it… only to encounter a being with powers beyond anything he’s ever seen! As the party leader loses an arm and our only healer is left trembling, can Jinwoo somehow find a way out?”
