Move over,Winx Club. Anime men might have the most dramatic transformations in the entire entertainment industry. In a short span of time, they go from being ordinary, scrawny men to buff and intimidating. It isn’t realistic by any means.
Recently, the anime community has noticed Sung Jinwoo fromSolo Levelinghas undergone this transformation. While the point of the series is that he went from being the weakest hunter to the strongest, his glow-up was instantaneous after his “reawakening” in the Double Dungeon.
His transformation has raised eyebrows but his hard work inSolo Levelingexplains it all. Sung Jinwoo didn’t just need a serum to become miraculously strong. He throws himself into combat and endless dungeons to earn his skills and eventually the muscular body.
Anime fans have joked that the inspiration behind his drastic transformation came from Saitama, the protagonist ofOne Punch Man, who went through a more noticeable change. At least Sung Jinwoo didn’t lose his hair during all his hard work.
The weak-to-strong trope in anime needs to take notes from Saitama’s workout routine
Everyone knows the iconic Saitama workout routine that made him go from an ordinary, unemployed man to having limitless strength. He carries it all in one punch, hence the name of the anime. However, he didn’t achieve this by pure luck alone.
As his famous quote goes, Saitama’s regiment includes: 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run. He did this every single day until he transformed intoan invincible hero who could defeat anythingwith just one punch. It did cost his hair but it was worth it to the hero.

Some fans had different thoughts on how Jinwoo achieved this.
He went to Zaddy mode
Aura farming.
hes just like that idkpic.twitter.com/NRpshzD52s
One user on X had a completely different question, asking how Jinwoo got magically taller in the process.
The main question I wanna know is how he grow taller 6ft 😂
It’s best not to question anime logic when even the ages of their characters don’t make sense and neither does the physics of certain body parts. Sung Jinwoo is just that guy andhe’s also very easy on the eyes for some fans.
The power of a great glow-up also represents Jinwoo’s growth
Just like Saitama’s bald head is an indication of his dedication, Jinwoo going from a timid boy to having one of the best auras in the anime community is admittedly an amazing glow-up. It shows that he grew up and didn’t want to stay weak forever.
Jinwoo’s glow-up has garnered a lot of respect and admiration for the protagonist.Solo Levelinghas also made leaps in bringing more manhwa-to-anime adaptations.
The protagonist’s transformation is also so inspiring, even his English voice actor,Aleks Le, worked out to get his physique.
“He’s not like Saitama level”: ‘Solo Leveling’ Escaped the Most Boring Anime Trend Because of How Cool Sung Jinwoo Is
While we do know realistically that the System changed Jinwoo, it’s also hilarious to think Saitama must’ve trained every anime character who had a drastic transformation. It keeps the anime community alive and united.
