BY K-Soul · June 16, 2026

South Korean figure skating star Cha Jun Hwan is expanding his role in 'Solo Leveling on Ice' beyond performing on the ice, taking part in the show's choreography development.

Live Arena announced on June 15 that Cha Jun Hwan will participate in the joint skate choreography process for 'Solo Leveling on Ice.'

In addition to his performance role, Cha Jun Hwan will contribute to the creation of the skating routines. He will work alongside former national figure skater and choreographer Kim Hae Jin to enhance the production's overall quality and storytelling.

According to the production team, Cha's involvement extends beyond that of a performer.

"Cha Jun Hwan will take part in the creative choreography process. We plan to bring the original work's dynamic action sequences and growth narrative to life in a more immersive and multidimensional way," the team said.

The production also unveiled its main poster and promotional video. The poster features Cha portraying the protagonist Sung Jin Woo, capturing the character's awakening from darkness. The accompanying video showcases powerful and dynamic skating performances inspired by the series.


'Solo Leveling on Ice' is an ice show based on the hit web novel and webtoon 'Solo Leveling.' Following its successful premiere last year, the production is returning for a new run. The show combines the original story with musical theater elements and figure skating performances.

The producers emphasized that the project is more than a straightforward adaptation.

"Rather than simply recreating the original work, we aim to offer audiences a new way to experience the Solo Leveling universe through the scale and spectacle of an ice show," they said.

They added, "With Cha Jun Hwan's participation in choreography, along with upgraded direction, stage technology, and performances, we are preparing an even more immersive production. We hope audiences look forward to it."

'Solo Leveling on Ice' will be staged for 12 performances from August 7 to August 17 at the Mokdong Ice Rink in Seoul.
