Lee Joohee
Lee Joohee is a supporting character in Solo Leveling and one of the first Hunters introduced in the series. As a skilled C-Rank Healer, she is responsible for treating injured Hunters during dangerous dungeon raids. Her compassionate personality, emotional resilience, and unwavering concern for her teammates make her one of the most beloved early characters in the story.
Joohee frequently participates in raids alongside Sung Jinwoo before his transformation into the Shadow Monarch. While many Hunters dismiss Jinwoo because of his weak E-Rank status, Lee Joohee consistently treats him with kindness and respect. She often worries about his safety and encourages him to stay alive, creating one of the earliest meaningful relationships in the series.
Her primary strength lies in healing magic. Lee Joohee can restore wounds, provide magical recovery, and support injured allies throughout dungeon expeditions. Although she lacks powerful offensive abilities, her healing skills are vital to the survival of every raid party she joins. Her calm decision-making and dedication under pressure demonstrate why support-type Hunters are indispensable.
The Double Dungeon Incident becomes the defining moment of her character. Witnessing the brutal deaths of fellow Hunters leaves her deeply traumatized and emotionally exhausted. Unlike many action-oriented characters, Joohee’s response reflects the psychological toll of constantly facing death. Eventually, she decides to step away from active Hunter work, choosing her mental well-being over continuing a dangerous career.
Despite appearing less frequently in later chapters, Lee Joohee remains an important figure in Solo Leveling’s early narrative. She symbolizes compassion in a world filled with violence and serves as a reminder that even talented Hunters have emotional limits. Her support for Sung Jinwoo during his weakest days also makes her an unforgettable part of his journey.
Fans continue to appreciate Lee Joohee for her gentle personality, dependable healing abilities, and realistic portrayal of fear and trauma. Although she is not among the strongest Hunters, her humanity and selflessness make her one of the most memorable supporting characters in Solo Leveling.
