In the world of Solo Leveling, Sung Jinwoo is known to be the absolute strongest Hunter there is. Although he began his journey as a weak Hunter, his reawakening in the Double Dungeon eventually gave him access to the System and allowed him to level up. With time, Jinwoo got progressively stronger and eventually reached a level comparable to the Gods of the world of Solo Leveling.
In the original timeline, Sung Jinwoo was quite easily peerless. But, the Solo Leveling universe has multiple different timelines, among which is also the Solo Leveling: Arise timeline. In one of the timelines, Lee Joohee, who was made out to be a very important character in the early parts of the story, takes a completely different path and experiences a reawakening of her own. She takes over as the protagonist in this particular timeline and achieves powers comparable to Sung Jinwoo himself. Joohee stands as a Reawakened Hunter in Solo Leveling: Arise and is absolutely immense as a fighter, and fans have loved the short hunter origin story that they received for her.
Initially, Lee Joohee's alt was announced for Solo Leveling Rise on August 7, 2026, but she was officially added to the game on August 27. Immediately upon her addition, it was revealed that this Lee Joohee existed in an alternate universe, and her Hunter Origin story was also given to us in the form of a short manhwa, which did wonders for her overall character arc in the Solo Leveling Rise universe. Lee Joohee has two different alts:
At the very beginning of Solo Leveling, Lee Joohee and Sung Jinwoo are seen in the Double Dungeon. In the end, they both manage to survive this altercation, but in this alternate universe, Joohee is pushed out of the DOUBLE Dungeon, with Jinwoo never truly stepping out. In the original universe, Joohee is then scarred forever due to the traumatic events that unfolded against the Statue of God, but in the alternate universe, due to Jinwoo never returning and presumably having even died, she goes on to gain immense motivation as well as new powers.
As Lee Joohee finds within her the fire to explore the different Gates and locate Sung Jinwoo, she experiences what is known as a reawakening. In the world of Solo Leveling, Hunters are assigned a power level upon their first awakening, and this power level cannot be increased after that. The only case in which this power level can change is if they experience a reawakening, which makes them even stronger. Lee Joohee experienced this reawakening, and it made her incredibly powerful. Initially, she was a B-Rank Healer, and now, she is believed to be an incredibly powerful Hunter, rivaling even the likes of Sung Jinwoo, given that she can even fight in S-Rank Gates all by herself.
“They were good people. They welcomed me despite how meek and timid I was. They were the reason I could still smile, even in the dungeons I feared so much. But in a flash… I lost them all.” — Lee Joohee's New Hunter Origin Story
In this alternate timeline of Solo Leveling, Sung Jinwoo doesn't exist as the protagonist of the story. We all know Jinwoo to be an incredibly powerful character and the vessel for Ashborn — the Shadow Monarch. Jinwoo eventually receives all the powers of Ashborn and becomes the strongest in the world, but in this alternate timeline, this does not happen. Whether Ashborn chooses Jinwoo as successor or if he simply dies remains unknown. What we do know is that Lee Joohee takes the role of the main character, and she becomes stronger than ever before.
Following her reawakening, Lee Joohee clears several Gates in an attempt to locate Jinwoo, and that is when she becomes the Pilgrim of the Labyrinth, which essentially describes the new alt that players can use in the game. As the main character, Lee Joohee is tremendously overpowered in her Hunter Story as well as in the game, and this adds an exciting twist to her overarching character arc.
