A-1 Pictures has given fans a sneak peek into what awaits them in Solo Leveling Episode 8 through the anime’s website. Set to air on Sunday, March 3, 2024, the episode, titled “This is Frustrating,” promises an exciting continuation of the series. Viewers can catch the premiere on TOKYO MX and other television networks, with Crunchyroll streaming the episode shortly after.
In the previous episode, Sung Jin-Woo finds himself inadvertently pushing his limits during training, leading to a surprising reward—a special dungeon key.

Following a hard-fought battle, Jin-Woo emerges victorious, earning the coveted formula for the Elixir of Life as a fitting reward for his efforts.
Solo Leveling episode 8 preview hints at Sung Jin-Woo going on a raid to level up
In the previous episode, Sung Jin-Woo secured the formula for the Elixir of Life but faced a new challenge—obtaining the rare materials required for its creation, located within the perilous Demon castle. Knowing the dangers that lie ahead, Jin-Woo hesitated to embark on this treacherous journey, considering it a potentially suicidal endeavor.
As teased in the synopsis for the upcoming episode, Sung Jin-Woo receives an unexpected summons from the Hunter’s Guild to partake in a D-Class raid mission. Eager to level up and earn some much-needed funds, Jin-Woo decides to accept the invitation. During the mission, he encounters Kang Tae-shik, an enigmatic employee of the Hunter’s Guild whose true intentions remain shrouded in mystery.
Sung Jin-Woo will reunite with Lee Joohee
From the outset of the anime, Lee Joohee’s feelings for Sung Jin-Woo were unmistakable. However, her traumatic experience during the double dungeon incident led her to flee, leaving Jin-Woo behind. Since then, she has been grappling with her trauma and avoiding Jin-Woo out of fear.
In the preview for Solo Leveling episode 8, it appears that Sung Jin-Woo will cross paths with Lee Joohee once again. It’s plausible that Joohee has been summoned to join the D-Class dungeon raid, leading to a potential reunion with Jin-Woo. If so, this encounter may also bring together other characters who were involved in the double dungeon incident, adding further depth to the storyline.
Yoon-Ho Baek and Jong-In Choi might meet each other in Solo Leveling episode 8
As hinted in the preview images, an intriguing encounter may occur between Yoon-Ho Baek, Guild Master of the White Tiger Guild, and Jong-In Choi, Guild Master of the Hunters Guild, in the forthcoming episode of Solo Leveling.
Given that the Hunters Guild boasts the distinction of housing two S-Class Hunters in South Korea, speculation arises whether Guild Master Jong-In Choi seeks to bolster their ranks by recruiting Yoon-Ho Baek. However, this remains conjecture until the episode airs, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the outcome.
