Figure skating national team member Cha Jun-hwan completely transformed into the webtoon protagonist Sung Jin-woo, captivating the ice rink.

His agency, Fantagio, announced that Cha Jun-hwan successfully completed his first performance for the ice show "Solo Leveling on ICE" held at the Mokdong Indoor Ice Rink of Mokdong Stadium in Seoul on the 7th.

"Solo Leveling on ICE" is a musical-style ice show based on the popular webtoon and web novel of the same name, depicting the process of the protagonist, who was once humanity's weakest weapon, awakening and growing into the strongest hunter.

Playing the protagonist Sung Jin-woo in this performance, Cha Jun-hwan drew cheers from the audience by showcasing an overwhelming skating performance. In particular, rather than stopping at a simple figure skating performance, he directly handled lines, acting, and musical numbers, three-dimensionally completing the character's strong growth narrative.

Cha Jun-hwan's challenge did not stop at the performance on stage. He also directly participated in co-choreography and direction for this performance, showing off his versatile side. Based on a deep understanding of the original work, he expressed each character's emotional line through choreography, with favorable reviews continuing to elevate the quality of the production.

Having once again proven his capability as an all-rounder by perfectly executing figure skating, acting, singing, and directing in his first musical-style ice show challenge, expectations are rising for Cha Jun-hwan's future stages.

Meanwhile, the ice show "Solo Leveling on ICE" featuring Cha Jun-hwan will meet audiences at the Mokdong Ice Link until the 17th.
