Is the Solo Leveling Anime Set in Japan?
Nope, Solo Leveling is set in South Korea. The bustling streets of Seoul and other cities become the battlegrounds against monsters. So, no scenic views of Tokyo or Kyoto here; it's all about the Korean landscape and its unique blend of urban and monstrous chaos.

Nah, Solo Leveling actually takes place in South Korea, not Japan. It's all about this dude, Sung Jinwoo, who's kinda like the weakest of the weak in terms of hunters but then gets this insane power-up. The story unfolds in South Korea, showcasing its cities and the monstrous dungeons that pop up. No sushi or samurai here, but plenty of kimchi-flavored action!
It's South Korea for the win! All those gates and monsters are trying to take over Korea, not Japan. Sung Jinwoo's stomping ground isn't anywhere near Japan. Just a small correction for ya!
