[All] Is the Scarecrow culprit Lee Jung-soo? Lee Yong-woo's identity, the real culprit, Un-hee

Is the real Scarecrow culprit Lee Jung-soo? From Lee Yong-woo's identity and blood type twist to the theory of Im Seok-man being framed and the theory that Un-hee is the mastermind, we have summarized the latest clues and the deduction of the real culprit for the ENA drama Scarecrow all in one place.

 

It seems the most common question among viewers of the ENA drama *Scarecrow* these days is, "Who on earth is the real culprit?" Originally, it seemed almost certain that Lee Ki-beom was the culprit, but the atmosphere completely turned upside down in episode 6. With the emergence of coercive interrogation, false confessions, and even clues regarding blood type errors, Im Seok-man, Lee Jeong-su, and even Un-hee are now under suspicion.

 

This episode is especially chilling because it feels like it focuses more on "why the real culprit was missed" rather than simply finding the criminal. Based on the clues revealed so far, I will go through the scarecrow culprit deductions one by one.

 

1. Why the Scarecrow Culprit Is Likely Not Lee Ki-beom

In the beginning, almost all the clues pointed to Lee Ki-beom. The victim's movements, the handkerchief, the bookstore, and even the connections to past cases all revolved around him.

 

However, the atmosphere completely changed in episode 6. This is because it was revealed that Lee Ki-beom's confession was actually a false statement obtained under assault and threats.

 

The important thing here is the drama title, 'Scarecrow'.

A scarecrow is not a real person, but a fake being set up to deceive someone. Therefore, the most common interpretation currently is the theory that "Lee Ki-beom was not the real culprit, but a scarecrow set up by someone."

In other words, the real culprit was quietly hiding in the background and set up the situation to make Lee Ki-beom suspicious.

2. Why is Lee Yong-woo's identity so suspicious?

The character who has skyrocketed the most since episode 6 is Lee Yong-woo.

At first, he seemed like just a character from the present, but there are continuous hints that he has a relationship with Kang Tae-joo dating back to the past.

especially With the line, “You treated me comfortably back then,” it was practically confirmed that they weren’t just strangers.

And the fact that Lee Yong-woo showed an attitude as if he knew Lee Ki-beom very well is also a key point.

Usually, in these kinds of crime dramas, the truly scary character isn't someone who is overtly suspicious from the start, but rather someone who blends in so normally. Lee Yong-woo gives off exactly that vibe right now.

So, the strongest theory currently emerging is:

The current Lee Yong-woo = The past Lee Jeong-su

That is the theory.

3. Why the theory that Lee Jung-soo is the culprit is gaining traction

Actually, what the community considers the most likely candidate right now is This is the theory that Lee Jeong-su is the real culprit.

There are quite a few reasons.

The first is the blood type bait.

In the drama, the investigation proceeded based on the assumption that the culprit was Type B, and there were actual cases inspired by serial murders where investigations went awry due to a misidentification of blood type.

However, Lee Jeong-su is blood type O.

Kang Tae-joo also excludes Lee Jung-soo from the investigation because he is Type O, but this scene actually made viewers start to suspect him even more.

"Isn't he someone who was excluded too easily?"

The second is the factory worker setting.

In the drama, forensic science results revealed that the culprit was someone who worked in an environment frequently exposed to titanium, chlorine, sodium, etc.

 

Lee Jeong-su is actually a factory worker, and there was even a scene where he frequently wiped away sweat.

 

The third point is that he is a person close to Lee Ki-beom.

If Lee Jung-soo was a close friend of Ki-bum, the handkerchief clue and the movements within the bookstore could also be explained. He could have intentionally made Lee Ki-bum suspicious.

 

So now, there are even theories emerging that "Lee Jung-soo might be the real culprit Lee Yong-woo's past name."

4. Is Im Seok-man the real culprit, or another scapegoat?

 

Honestly, the one who appeared the most obviously like the culprit in episode 6 was Im Seok-man.

factory worker
limping
Victim possessing a bag
eyewitness accounts match

The clues piled up to the point where it was almost a "He is the culprit" situation.

But that is actually why it is so suspicious.

Scarecrow is a drama that constantly emphasizes "flawed investigation," and many people believe that it seems unlikely the character being so blatantly framed is the real culprit.

In particular, questions continue to be raised regarding whether Lim Seok-man is actually capable of committing the crime due to the condition of his leg.

There was also talk that the condition of his hands was too smooth for a hammering worker.

So currently, there are quite a few reactions saying that “Im Seok-man is just another scarecrow.”

5. The surprisingly scary theory that Un-hee is the mastermind

And lately, what's subtly getting a reaction is right away This is the theory that Un-hee is the culprit.

At first, everyone thought it was a joke, but the logic is actually quite solid.

Un-hee is a photojournalist.

What is important here is the chemicals used in the photo printing process.

From the forensic investigation in the drama:
chlorine
Titanium dioxide
an environment where you sweat a lot

This condition is unexpected It means it overlaps with the photography work environment as well.
