Background

Yoo Soohyun is a playable Hunter in Solo Leveling: ARISE.

Yoo Jinho's cousin and a famous model. Due to an incident during her first raid, she's no longer an active hunter.

Dossier #01: The Model Hunter

"The Woman Who Has Everything, Now Awakened"

After it became known that Yoo Soohyun was an A-Rank hunter, this was the title of the first article about it.

She would blush and say it was embarrassing to hear, but in her heart, she knew it was true.

With her looks, she scored work as a child actor and continued to excel as an adult by becoming a model.

As her net worth was rising, her wealthy upbringing sparked further public interest.

Awakening as an A-Rank hunter was just the cherry on top.

It was a blessing.

It's safe to say that at the time, there was almost no difference between celebrities in the entertainment industry and famous hunters.

Already, more than half of the trending products on the market were made using Essence Stones or Mana Crystals, and naturally, hunters were the ones promoting them.

She was one of the few who was separately an entertainment industry icon and powerful hunter.

Now all Soohyun needed to do was use this unique combination to achieve further success...

Dossier #02: The Perfect Girl

The sky was dark. It looked like it was going to rain at any moment.

The sun was like her heart, hidden behind a cloudy expression.

Soohyun got out of the car after half-heartedly responding to her stylist's nagging to be careful not to damage her hair.

"Ms. Yoo Soohyun, look over here!"

Reporters held cameras with the shutters snapping rapidly.

Soohyun's eyes hurt every time the flash went off, but she didn't blink.

Burning was part of being a star. Smiling brightly, she marched on.

"How do you feel about your first raid?"

Soohyun thought for a moment and answered "I'll do my best." She smiled even brighter.

"I have to do my best..."

She thought to herself, unable to say it out loud.

Drip- Drop. It started raining. Disorder filled the scene as reporters scrambled for their raincoats and flipped open their umbrellas.

"Bye for now!" After bowing to the people, she entered the eerie gate.

Dossier #03: Discordance

The first time is always hard.

Soohyun's comrades knew this and allowed her to support from the back.

In formation, they went deeper and deeper into the unknown.

The air was thick with tension. No one knew when the magic beasts were going to appear.

The anxiety of being in a life-or-death situation was a feeling she'd never felt in her perfect life.

Then, the enemies showed themselves.

"Let's go." At the squad leader's words, members sprung into action.

Soohyun diligently tried to carry out her duties from the back.

However, she soon began to bubble with an inexplicable sense of excitement as she watched the magic beasts fall one by one from her attacks, like she was playing a game.

It was exhilirating.

Unable to suppress her emotions, Soohyun became too immersed in the power fantasy.

Bang-! Bang-! Her attacks flew around in the dungeon like ping-pong balls.

Dossier #04: Nightmares

"Please stop!"

A voice rang in her ear like a bell. The cry belong to a person, not a magic beast.

Her vision came back into focus as she recognized the voice.

And after returning to her senses, she saw the boss turning to dust and scattering across the floor.

But it wasn't the only one who had suffered...

her comrades were wounded too. The broken walls of the boss's lair looked like they were on their last legs, ready to collapse at any moment.

Only then did she realize what she had done.

From a young age, no matter what she played, she always gave it her all.

When she played house, she really behaved as if she were someone else, and that's probably why her friends enjoying playing with her.

When she first started as an actor, she became immersed more deeply into her roles than anyone else her age.

When she played the role of a girl who lost her mother, she couldn't stop crying all day, and when she played the role of a patient who was terminally ill, she actually lost weight and was asked several times if she was sick.

People were amazed that a child could do such serious method acting.

She was praised for her incredible abilities.

But Yoo Soohyun knew. She wasn't acting.

That day when she went on a rampage was just like every terrifying day of her youth where she had begun to confuse where she ended and the character began.

She felt like she was losing herself.

And one day in particular was still locked deep in her memory.

The image of the little girl who said she would never forgive her popped into her mind.

The girl's cheek became red and swollen.

She was hurt.

Soohyun remembered what her younger self had done.

She hadn't meant it. She couldn't change it.

All she could do was ask for forgiveness.

And then she thought about it. She had known what she was like.

She knew what she was capable of. Why did she left herself start in the first place?

Dossier #05: Time Bomb

She ahd no idea until she did her first raid.

That the adrenaline of knowing her life was at stake would trigger the same sort of trance...

Soohyun tried to avoid the gaze of her comrades as their eyes burned holes in the back of her head.

"I'll quit. I can't risk my life or the lives of my team like this."

She decided to give up on being a hunter before she could be labeled a failure.

However. her celebrity ensured that news of her first raid was on the homepage of all popular website, and word quickly spread.

After this became public knowledge, the memes about the incident circulated on social media.

As her story went viral, she gained the nickname "the Time Bomb."
