When the show started, Sung Jin-Woo was physically less muscular. He was short and appeared to be feeble with a light complexion and slender appearance. However, he managed to go through a severe physical transformation throughout the series.
Sung Jin Woo started with being an E-rank hunter, which is ” the weakest” rank among all the hunters in Solo leveling. Although he started with being the weakest, still at this stage also, he possessed special powers which made him extraordinary.
The “Player” skill, which Sung Jin Woo is renowned for possessing, allows him to see an interface that shows details on characters, monsters, and quests. This interface skill is a crucial tool for the navigation of the perilous underground realm.

What makes Sung Jin-Woo unique among every Solo Leveling character is his abilities as both Ruler and Monarch. He possesses some of the strongest powers, like Astralization. This is the pinnacle of his power as the Shadow Monarch which helps him battle massive monsters like Antares.
Have you ever thought of erasing one’s whole presence from the very fabric of existence? This ability is no joke and guess what our beloved character possesses this. No doubt, he has become the strongest now.
The other ability “Acausality” is also possessed by him, which gives him complete immunity to the idea of time. In simple language, Sung Jin Woo remains unaffected by the entity and hence can transcend time.

In simple words, the protagonist who started being “the weakest” hunter has now become the monarch of the world and it is he, who will decide what will occur in the infinite universe.
