Solo Leveling Star Brings Jinwoo to Life with Epic Cosplay

As a gamer who’s been through the ringer with countless series and characters, I can confidently say that Jinwoo from Solo Leveling has stolen my heart (and possibly my gaming hours). This South Korean gem, born as a webtoon in 2016, has grown into an action-packed legend thanks to its talented cast and creative team.


Solo Leveling is a series that demands attention, having been introduced as a webtoon in 2016 by creators from South Korea. Since then, its protagonist Jinwoo has made quite an impact, branching out into video games, spin-off comics, and more. As a result, Jinwoo is rapidly earning legendary status. The anime adaptation of the webtoon has played a significant role in elevating Jinwoo to an action deity, with one of his voice actors gaining popularity for their outstanding cosplay portrayal of the hero.

In truth, it’s only fair to acknowledge Aleks Le, the talented voice actor. Not only does he deliver a remarkable English dub for Jinwoo, but he also put in considerable effort preparing for his debut as a cosplayer. On Instagram, this voice actor shared a picture of himself dressed as the Solo Leveling hero, expressing pride in having worked diligently to create an authentic cosplay experience for fans.

Who Is Aleks Le?

Check this out! I recently participated in a unique experience – a cosplay photoshoot. It took me a week of dedicated preparation, and I was fortunate enough to receive assistance along the way to make it happen. If you enjoy these results, I’ll post more later!” – Le wrote.

In the photo you see, Le’s cosplay portrays Jinwoo with great intensity. Though his costume here seems ordinary, in the anime, Jinwoo exudes an aura that is tough to match. Endowed with powers beyond imagination, Jinwoo evolves from being one of the world’s weakest hunters into the strongest. The first season of Solo Leveling brilliantly captures this transformation, and Le effectively embodies the change in this cosplay. It comes as no surprise given that few understand Jinwoo better than his actors, and Le is renowned for being one of the top performers to portray Solo Leveling.

If you are not familiar with Le, the voice actor is in high demand. Not only does he voice Jinwoo, but Le does the English dub for Zenitsu in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Beyond those major roles, Le has also starred in a number of projects like The Misfit of Demon King Academy, Tokyo Revengers, Rent-a-Girlfriend, and Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War. Most recently, fans have seen the actor in Code Geass: Roze of the Recapture and Go! Go! Loser Ranger.

What’s Next for Solo Leveling

It’s clear that Le’s cosplay from “Solo Leveling” has sparked excitement among fans, which is quite timely since we’re nearing the start of season two. You might not know this, but the series will be back in January 2025! At a recent festival, Aniplex showcased the popular series and hinted that a movie adaptation is underway. Fans got a sneak peek at “Solo Leveling” season two during the event, and it was also announced that “Solo Leveling: ReAwakening” will debut later this year in Japan and South Korea – though there’s no word yet on its release date in the United States for the compilation feature.

To stay current with “Solo Leveling” before its comeback, you can effortlessly find the series across various platforms. The anime’s initial season is available for streaming on Hulu and Crunchyroll at the moment.
