Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 17 "This Is What We're Trained to Do" is a prime example of why Sung Jin-woo is cursed. No matter which dungeon he goes into, it practically assures that something will go horribly, horribly wrong. I suppose this is why he's as overpowered as he is
