Who Is Cha Jun Hwan and What Is His Role?
Cha Jun Hwan is a South Korean figure skater who competed at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. In Solo Leveling on Ice, he takes on the lead role of Sung Jin Woo, the series’ central protagonist who transforms from the world’s weakest hunter into its most powerful following a dramatic awakening.
However, his involvement goes significantly beyond performing. Producer Live Arena confirmed on June 15 that Cha Jun Hwan will also participate in the joint skate choreography process for the production, working alongside Kim Hae Jin, a former national figure skater and the show’s choreography director. This makes his contribution both creative and performative.
The production team described his expanded role directly: “Cha Jun Hwan is taking on choreography creation beyond being a performer on stage. We plan to express the original work’s dynamic action and growth narrative in a three-dimensional way.”

“Rather than simply recreating the original work, we will allow audiences to experience the Solo Leveling universe in a new way through the ice show’s scale.”
They added:
“Including Cha Jun Hwan’s choreography participation, we plan to present upgraded direction, stage technology, and performances. We ask for your anticipation.”
The team also noted that Cha’s expressive range and technical precision are expected to deepen the production’s overall emotional impact beyond what last year’s run delivered.
Why is this Special for Solo Leveling Fans?
The Solo Leveling webtoon has drawn 14.3 billion views worldwide, making it one of the most consumed fantasy properties in the world. A Netflix live-action adaptation starring Byeon Woo-seok is also currently in development, meaning the franchise is expanding on multiple fronts at once. Solo Leveling on Ice sits within that broader wave of adaptations, offering a version of the story that no other medium can replicate, one performed live on ice with an Olympic-level skater at the centre of it.
