Korea (한국) is a country on the Korean peninsula, the main setting of Solo Leveling, and the homeland of Sung Jinwoo, the main protagonist of the series and the strongest hunter in the world.
Although Korea originally had ten S-Rank Hunters, only six are still alive; the other four were all killed in action. Korea is also known for having some of the weakest S-Rank Hunters in the world and for being the only country to have ever lost a portion of their land (Jeju Island) to a S-Rank Gate. As a result, the Korean hunting community was widely regarded as weak and incompetent by foreign society until Jeju Island was finally reclaimed (largely due to the efforts of Jinwoo) four years after it was originally abandoned by the Korean government.
