One of the central supporting cast in Solo Leveling is Baek Yoon-Ho. He is a Korean S-rank hunter and the leader of the White Tiger Guild. In the anime series, Yoon-Ho is voiced by Hiroki Touchi in Japanese, while the well-known Christopher Sabat voices his English counterpart.
While he hasn’t made any significant appearance in the anime so far, he is quite a crucial character in the plot. Being an S-ranked hunter, he is immensely powerful. Slight glimpses of his power could be seen at the start of the anime series, however, his entire abilities still need to be revealed. Let’s take a deeper look at Baek Yoon-Ho’s character and abilities.
Who is Baek Yoon-Ho in Solo Leveling?
Baek is a well-built young man with spiky orange hair. His eyes are ember-colored with prominent canine teeth and neatly groomed sideburns. In the Solo Leveling Webtoon, he could be seen wearing a black tux. Furthermore, he wore a blacked-out armour with yellow shoulder guards during the Jeju Island Raid. When he uses his powers, there is a significant change in his appearance. His eyes glow with a hint of yellow while his hairs turn white, and his pupils become slits.
Personality-wise, he is an ambitious man who genuinely cares about his guild members. His diligence was expressed when he left his original guild to create his own. He got into a fight with Dong-Soo when he tried to choke an employee. Yoon-Ho also demanded an explanation from Jin-Woo when only three members returned from the Red Gate Incident. He is quite perceptive and sharp as well. He was the first person to realise that Jinwoo had no limit to his strength.
Baek Yoon-Ho: Korean S-Ranked Hunter
He is one of the top hunters in Korea. Baek Yoon-Ho is a S-Rank Hunter. However, it is stated that he is relatively weak for his rank. He was effortlessly defeated by some of the Japanese S-Rank Hunters.
- Enhanced Strength: Yoon-Ho could be seen fighting toe-to-toe with Dong-Wook. He didn’t transform fully and generate small bursts of wind pressure with his strikes. Additionally, his transformation gives him a strength buff. This enhancement is rather strong as he was able to overpower Dong-Wook in a 1-on-1 battle easily.
- Enhanced Speed: Demonstration of his quick pace was seen when Yoon-Ho was able to react in time to Kumamoto’s attacks.
- Enhanced Durability: Yoon-Ho was deeply wounded while fighting the Ant King. However, he was able to keep his senses due to enhanced durability.
- Transformation: Yoon-Ho can transform into a tiger-like humanoid monster. He develops white fur over his body; his hair turns pure white with sharp claws and prominent fangs. This form enhances his strength and speed prominently. He can also control which body part he wants to transform. This was demonstrated when he only transformed his hands and hair during his sparring match against Kumamoto.
- Eyes of the Beast: Yoon-Ho can precisely estimate the power levels of his opponents, may it be a monster or another hunter. As a bonus, this skill also enhances his reflexes.
