Biography[]
Lee is the only child of prestigious plastic surgeon Sun Lee, who invested in pharmaceuticals for a comfortable life and retirement for himself and his family. Lee is a sociopath with an objectification complex towards women and girls, preferring to dominate and abuse them for his own power as he wants. When he was fifteen, he slashed a sex worker, resulting in his arrest by Inspector Kim Joon-ho. His father made the charges go away, but Kim held a grudge and always wanted Lee in prison, knowing he could grow into a dangerous offender. Lee went to Eton College and the University of Cambridge for economics degrees, but in spite of his curricular prowess, the universities kicked him out for hardcore porn and snuff film possession. In 2014, he cut a sex worker in Dubai with a razor, but he got out of custody and fled the country to return to Seoul and evade prosecution. As Lee became more publicly known as unruly, making public scenes, and engaging in multiple relationships with women, several simultaneously, he was plastered all gossip and tabloid media in South Korea. As Lee was abusive and demanded the women he dated and became engaged with meet his standards, hemp would force his partners to have reconstructive operations so their features would resemble white women, his preferred type of woman aesthetically. He became engaged to Yoo Su-bin after she sold him an office space as his realtor, but as he was unsatisfied with her, he replaced her with American K-pop singer Lauren Barrett. Shortly after, his office was decommissioned, and Yoo was humiliated enough she retreated to it when she went off the grid.
Lee is questioned in the murders of three international Western white women in Seoul, where he’s preparing for dinner with Lauren. Lee is uncooperative and smug, refusing to go with the Seoul police and FBI agents at first, but Lauren is shocked when she hears he’s a suspect in murder. She tries to ask him about it, but he stops her with a snap of his finger, albeit acquiescing to joining the police for interrogation. Lee is unphased from the interrogation and states his innocence, but Inspector Kim gets emotional and demands he answer to the crimes. While he’s briefly detained, Lauren is questioned to show her what kind of man Lee is, which she begins to understand when she starts facing his abusive, he is of her as she talks about how he degrades and demands from her. Lee himself is fine with saying he wants women he commits to to look as he says, barely flinching from the photos of the women he’s suspected of killing. Agent Jack Garrett, knowing Lee’s dominance of women involves relishing in their pain, knows Lee didn’t kill them since he didn’t relish seeing the crime scene photos. Kim doesn’t care and arrests Lee for murder, Lee asking him in Korean if they’ve met before, to imply he remembers their history. The agents realize the profile fits a woman, finding out Yoo is the killer from going through Lee’s relationships. She’s stoped from killing Lauren, ultimately committing suicide to evade arrest and give up on her revenge for Lee destroying her life. However, the agents do Inspector Kim, and in turn Yoo, a solid by getting in contact with the United Arab Emirates, who are working with South Korea to extradite Lee to be prosecuted for his assault charge, to which Kim expresses his gratitude. Lee is presumably convicted and penalized consequentially, be it with imprisonment or otherwise.
Trivia[]
