Yoo Su-bin is the main antagonist of the Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders episode “Pretty Like Me”. Yoo is a tragically disfigured serial killer of beautiful white women in the interest of taking revenge on the former partner who demeaned her, Lee Geon-woo.
He is portrayed by Jennie Baek.
Biography[]
Yoo and Lee met through Yoo’s work as a real estate agent, where she helped Lee find an office space. Yoo had a brief relationship with Lee, in spite of him shuffling from woman to woman even at the same time and getting engaged to many of them, including Yoo. As Lee objectified and abused women, preferring white women in particular, he made Yoo change her appearance through cosmetic surgery. Lee abandoned Yoo for Lauren Barrett, an American singer who became a K-pop icon and who was more compliant with Lee’s demands, including cosmetic operations. Yoo’s esteem was wounded badly enough she didn’t stop paying for her own facial reconstruction, but her face was losing beauty from the damage the operations were doing. Finally snapping from the pressure, she stopped all public and online activity in her life to spend her time planning her revenge against Lee. She used his now vacant office space to set up a base of operations for a series of killings she wanted to frame him for. Hoping to kill Lauren to destroy Lee’s life, she was building up her confidence by targeting other international, young, beautiful white women who were in Seoul, kidnapping and paralyzing them before she butchered their faces with a scalpel and cut their throats to murder them. The women were wrapped in garbage bags and left in alleyways to dehumanize them.
Yoo killed Barbara Walker, Jessica Townsend, and Elsa Byquist in such fashions, the International Response Team taking the case since Agent Matthew Simmons was visiting Seoul. The plan nearly works, as Lee is arrested on suspicion due to the investigator working with the agents remembering Lee from when he attacked a sex worker, wanting to get back at him for evading justice. The team eventually figured out Lee was too pompous to kill women due to the risk of being caught and being confident in his abuse even more, so they knew one of his jilted exes was responsible. The profile leads to Yoo, and the agents find out about how she was Lee’s past partner before Lauren and the destruction of her face from the surgeries. By then, Yoo has already broken into Lauren’s apartment, paralyzing her while muttering in Korean to take her time. Seeing a photo of Lee and Lauren together, she screams and throws the picture against the wall to smash the frame. Just as she’s about to disfigure Lauren, the agents arrive to stop her. Yoo repeatedly shouts “I make then pretty like me”, and Agent Simmons tries to appeal to her in Korean, saying Lee’s not worth her desire for revenge. Yoo doesn’t listen, but she instead surprises the agents by stabbing her own neck with her scalpel, killing herself almost instantly from bleeding to death. She, in a sense, is vindicated anyway, as the agents arrange for Lee’s extradition to Dubai, where he attacked another sex worker, to face a trial.
Trivia[]
- Yoo is inspired by multiple real-life murderers:
- Kazuko Fukuda, a.k.a. "The Woman of Seven Faces", a fugitive murderer of a beloved colleague she was jealous of at the bar where she worked, who had multiple cosmetic operations to change her appearance while she was on the run. She was arrested with only six days for a case to be against her for murder.
- Joji Obara. Like Lee, Obara is a South Korean misogynist responsible for drugging and raping hundreds of women, preferring Western women for sexual “superiority”. Obara killed two women by overdoses, one being found underneath an abandoned bathtub in a field after Obara’s arrest, but Lee was never guilty of murder in spite of his misogyny.
- Kevin James Loebl, the stalker and assassin of singer Christina Grimmie during a meet and greet, which in part involved changing his appearance before murdering her. Loebl committed auicide shortly after in a confrontation.
