The series will be co-directed by Lee Hae-jun and Kim Byung-seo, who have previously worked on films such as “Ashfall”, “Like a Virgin”, “Castaway on the Moon”, and “My Dictator”.

The worldwide hit “Solo Leveling” is making its way to Netflix as a live-action show, with Byeon Woo-seok taking on the role of protagonist Sung Jin-woo.
