Actors Sung Joon and Kim Si Ah may be joining the cast of Netflix's highly anticipated "Solo Leveling" adaptation.
According to a September 3 report from News1, both Kim Si Ah and Sung Joon are set to appear in the upcoming series. When reached for comment, representatives from Kim Si Ah's agency VARO Entertainment and Sung Joon's agency moahn Entertainment both provided identical statements, saying "Nothing has been confirmed."
The original "Solo Leveling" story started as a web novel and later expanded into a successful webtoon and animated series.

The production has already confirmed Byeon Woo Seok as the lead character Sung Jin Woo. Additionally, Han So Hee and Kang You Seok are reportedly in discussions for the roles of Cha Hae In and Yoo Jin Ho. Several other notable actors including Kang Mina, Rain, Lee Sung Min, and Lee Hong Nae are also said to be considering joining the project.
