Solo Leveling introduced fans to the fearless S-Rank hunter Cha Hae-in, who eventually married Sung Jinwoo and gave birth to Sung Suho. The manhwa series created a lot of buzz among the fans when she entered the picture, and so did the anime adaptation. Following the success of the original series, fans started getting curious about the sequel and Cha Hae-in’s whereabouts.
After reading the first few chapters of Solo Leveling Ragnarok, every fan learned that Suho didn’t get a chance to experience his childhood with both his parents. The epilogue also revealed that Jinwoo traveled to the dimensional rift with his shadow army and asked Cha Hae-In to go back to Earth. So, why doesn’t she live with Suho right now? Let’s find out in this guide.
Spoiler Warning: This post contains major spoilers for the Solo Leveling Ragnarok manhwa and web novel. So, proceed at your own risk.
What Happened to Cha Hae-In in Solo Leveling Ragnarok?
In the final chapter of Solo Leveling, Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-In are seen watching the portal in the sky. They fly toward the gate, and that’s when we see Jinwoo giving a neckpiece to his beloved wife for their 16th anniversary.
After that, he asks her to go back home, so she flies back to Earth on Kaisel, the shadow of Baran’s dragon who was slain by Jinwoo in the original series. Jinwoo promised her that he would follow her in a bit.
You won’t take long, right?, said Cha Hae-In to Jinwoo
Following the sequence, we never get to see where our beloved character disappeared. The webtoon revealed at the start that Jinwoo and Cha Hae-In never made it back to Earth. However, we soon learn that Jinwoo has been fighting against the Itarim race, which wants to invade Earth as it doesn’t have any God.
Cha Hae-In’s whereabouts remained a mystery until Chapter 121 of the web novel, where the author revealed that a portal appeared out of nowhere when Kaisel, one of Jinwoo’s strongest shadows, was taking Cha Hae-In back to Earth. Kaisel flew into it, and the gate got closed instantly, trapping both of them inside. The dimensional rift teleports Cha Hae-In and Kaisen to a village of Ice Elves, where she gets stuck for five long years.
Cha Hae-In went missing the same day Jinwoo left the Earth to fight the Itarim residing in outer space. However, Jinwoo didn’t know that his wife never reached out to their son after bidding him goodbye. It wasn’t until Beru and Suho’s confrontation that things became transparent. Initially, it was the motivation to defeat the forces that posed threats on Earth that made Jinwoo send Beru to Suho to train him. However, later, finding Cha Hae-in became everyone’s top priority.
Neither the manhwa nor the web novel has yet seen Jinwoo and Suho’s reunion, but the latter, which is moving ahead of the former, has witnessed Cha Hae-In reuniting with her son. Apparently, Chase Hae-In returns to Earth after a Gate suddenly appears in Ireland. Sensing that his mother has returned, Suho goes there to reunite with her.
However, as the story isn’t finished yet, we can see Jinwoo making it back to his family sometime after defeating the Outer Gods. Either that, or maybe we’ll see Suho joining his father in outer space to fight the Itarim race.
