Sohn0924

Sohn0924 (known as Hu Dark in the Korean community, dubbed Hu Bug by the Korean community, Sohn for short) was a famous South Korean level creator and exploiter in Geometry Dash, who is well-known for creating one of the most famous level trends in Geometry Dash history called the Hell Series. The Hell Series was known for its extreme gameplay requiring memory and several difficult timings.

The player Stormfly has hosted and verified redesign collaborations for many of Sohn's levels, such as The Hell Zone, The Hell World, The Hell Dignity, The Hell Origin, The Hell Field, The Hell Inferno, and The Hell Trinity - all of the mentioned being Extreme Demons. Although, The Hell Trinity is the only one of them that remains unrated.

History

Sohn0924 started as a level creator rather than a player back in early Geometry Dash (around Update 1.2) with many hard levels created, such as Hpolargeist, The Climax, and The Ability. He requested RobTop to rate them, but only The Climax was rated, and he began to go inactive for a while.

Later, Sohn started recreating again, using a new account in Update 1.4, with a level called The Hell Zone, created on January 8, 2014. The Hell Zone was a difficult level, which included a lot of difficult timings. The first time Sohn asked RobTop to rate it on TouchArcade, he expressed concern that it would be far too difficult for players, namely the first jump of the level. After only nerfing that first jump, Sohn again asked RobTop to rate it. Later and somehow, it was enough for RobTop to rate the level, and soon many players started to try it out.

On January 10, just two days after The Hell Zone was uploaded, Sohn released The Hell World, and it was quickly rated. Unlike with The Hell Zone, it is presumed that the infamous player saRy "verified" The Hell World for him (via the level description). Many of his other Hell series levels got rated as well, but one day he was accused of hacking the levels to verify it (by a player named Reflection) because they were said to be impossible and many players doubting that he actually verified them legitimately. Eventually, the evidence came in a photo with Sohn using the 1.2 editor instead of the newest editor back then. Sohn was officially exposed on April 26 and quickly banned from the GW Forums. It was revealed he abused exploits that existed in 1.2 to bypass his levels, such as the ability to verify levels in Practice Mode.

Afterward, LunarSimg made a post on the forums on Sohn's behalf. In the post, Sohn admitted to using a 1.2 glitch that could invert the gravity of the character at the beginning of the level so that the player could reach a secret way; he also apologized in the said post to all the GW members. It was later translated by Reple and eventually put into public English by SEA. This is roughly what his post reads:

Most of his levels, including the Hell series, skyrocketed in dislikes and eventually got unrated after his confession, and he retired from the Geometry Dash community. No one heard anything about him until August 2019.

In August 2019, he returned to the game and released a layout called Deviation, originally titled The Hell Truth. In the comments section of Stormfly's video of the level, he commented "nice to see you all again".

• He had come back and created a part in Misanthrope.
• He was a member of TouchArcade, a forum where users could connect with RobTop and ask him to rate levels before the community became "saturated".
• The special effect of stacking gravity portals to make the player drop down, found in Sohn0924's levels, was actually invented by him. He dubbed them "sinkers".
