The highly anticipated continuation of Solo Leveling has faced an unexpected delay following a car accident involving its creator, Daul. As reported by KakaoPage, Daul was hit by a vehicle while walking. While the injuries are not deemed critical or life-threatening, they necessitate an extended hospitalization and recovery period.
