Seoul Woman Arrested for Allegedly Drowning Her Husband for $650K Insurance Payout
This woman seemed to have gotten away with the crime until someone dropped a tip to police about her:
A woman who allegedly killed her husband for insurance compensation in 2019 was arrested in the north of Seoul with her accomplice, the police said Saturday.
The police arrested the 31-year-old murder suspect, Lee Eun-hae, and the 30-year-old accomplice, Cho Hyun-soo, at a residential building in Goyang, just northwest of Seoul, at around noon, according to the Incheon Metropolitan Police.
As they arrived at a police station in Goyang, Lee and Cho declined to comment to reporters.
Investigators were able to locate the two as Lee’s father told police their address, saying his daughter is willing to turn herself in. The two did not resist during the process, the police added.

You can read more at the link, but she is alleged to have tried to poison her husband earlier in 2019 as well before successfully drowning him.
She looks computer-generated in that photo. Cold and dead.

Looks like the prosecutors released her drivers license or ID photo.
A lot of Koreans have their official photos(photos for passport, drivers license, etc.) photoshopped to improve the appearance.
And the photoshopping is usually included in the fee that the photo studio charges for taking and printing out the photos.
She certainly looks Uncanny Valley.
Which brings up the age-old question…
…what happened in the distant past to make people uncomfortable with something that looks almost human but isn’t?
CH, you should look up “Selkie” and “Changeling” (not the movies)… there were numerous things medieval folks believed that we “enlightened” and “sophisticated” 21st Century types disbelieve.
There may even be something about the undead about those eyes.
