Solo Leveling Sequel Teases Major Favorite’s Return as Cha Hae-in Rejoins Ragnarok
Ragnarok Returns With New Episodes
Solo Leveling: Ragnarok began its third season after a hiatus that started in January. Chapters 69 to 71 were released on KakaoPage on November 5, following changes that included finding a new North American home and a new artist.
A preview from D&C Webtoon had featured Cha Hae-in, hinting that she would return. She and Sung Jinwoo had been absent from the sequel, and finding Hae-in was one reason Suho began his journey.
Hae-in’s Disappearance Explained
Hae-in’s location remained unknown until Chapter 65, when Sirka said she was in the realm of the snow folk. In Chapter 70, Korean hunters inside an S-rank gate follow a young snow elf to a village and encounter her.
Chapter 71 reveals that Hae-in and Kaisel came across a gate after separating from Jinwoo in the original epilogue. Hae-in entered and became trapped in the dungeon, where she later awakened as a hunter but could not find a way out.
A Return To The Fight
Hae-in leads the Korean hunters toward the dungeon’s boss, battling powerful monsters along the way. Her senses remain intact, and the chapters show her fighting again after her earlier appearances in flashbacks and a brief silhouette in the Season 1 finale.
Fans had been awaiting her return since she was briefly seen with Kaisel in Chapter 47. The new chapters explain her disappearance and bring her back into action.
A Reunion May Be Ahead
Hae-in may remain important through the current story arc, and a reunion with Suho could follow. The two have been apart for years, but it is uncertain whether she will stay in the main story after the arc ends.
Jinwoo and Hae-in were written out so Suho could take the spotlight. Although Suho has grown stronger, his journey in Solo Leveling: Ragnarok is not finished.

- Chapter 71 explains that Hae-in entered a gate and became trapped in a dungeon.
