My ideas for increasing Yoo Jinho's popularity:
If the developers of Solo Leveling: Arise need ideas for a meaningful character profile, I have a great suggestion for them: I propose developing the hunter that the Solo Leveling community greatly appreciates for his role in the story, but who is underutilized in their game. I'm talking, of course, about our dear Yoo Jinho.
Although he's one of the major characters in the main story and one of the first characters in the game, he hasn't really been able to shine, and he's not given much prominence.
The last time he was featured was during the mini-event celebrating his birthday on July 15th, two or three years ago. He really only has one or two skins, including his base skin. And he's only rank D, while there are a huge number of high-rank hunters, and his class is quite ordinary. So, aside from those who like and appreciate his role in the story, there aren't many people who want to play him for very long.
So here's my idea: use the same cheat as for Cha Haein, but create a form of alternate universe with a different class. And a class that fits the character well.
In Solo Leveling Ragnarok, we learn that Jinwoo founded a video game company called Ahjin Software, so I had a simple but practical reasoning: if he created it, he must love video games, and if he loves video games, he must be good, especially since Koreans have a strong reputation in gaming. He must have already played shooting games several times because it's a recurring genre, so he must have shooting skills.
Therefore, a class that would suit him perfectly is that of a marksman, like his cousin Soohyun. With such a class, his skills, and the sophisticated firearms his wealth provides, he would be much stronger than the classic Rag D. He can support Jinwoo from a distance and maintain his support role, which he has always created, and also provide potions.
Furthermore, since the marksman class is rare, it would be much more interesting to play. By retaining his light attribute, Jinho maintains his synergy with Jinwoo. He could make a great family duo with Soohyun, who is also the third member of the Ahjin guild and his cousin. Or, by equipping Jinwoo with a firearm, the three of them could form a super sniper team and guild (we'll forget about Esile for now).
This new form will boost his popularity enough to convince many players (including myself and Jinho fans) to buy different skins for the character: casual outfits, battle outfits, party outfits, birthday outfits, Christmas outfits, beach outfits, traditional Korean outfits, etc. Not to mention the potential matching outfits with the Ahjin members, in addition to the possibility of playing on the character's cute and youthful appearance in illustrations and promotions. And unlike the majority of other male characters who are sexy and mature but emphasized, his delicate physique will bring freshness to the catalogue.
