Solo Leveling, which began as a serialized web novel written by the pseudonymous Korean author Chugong in 2016 and later adapted into a webtoon comic illustrated by the late Korean artist Dubu in 2018, is set in a fantasy universe where super-powered humans known as “Hunters” work as mercenaries (à la Hunter x HunterTo protect the human race, you must defeat supernatural beings.

The series centers on one hunter in particular, Sung Jin-Woo, an infamously weak hunter who, in a turn not unlike Izuku Midoriya’s first meeting with All Might in My Hero Academia, is granted a magical power known as “The System” that allows him to grow in strength without limit. Seizing on the opportunity afforded by this new power, Sung Jin-Woo eventually becomes the world’s greatest hunter and inadvertently finds himself in the middle of a war between two powerful faction vying for the fate of humanity.

In the trailer, we see Sun Jin-woo in the moments just before he gets his powers — meaning that this teaser is probably a preview of the show’s first episode.
