'Scarecrow' sees a shift in the investigation's direction with the emergence of a new suspect.

On the 11th, ahead of the seventh episode broadcast, the production team of the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Scarecrow' (script by Lee Ji-hyun, directed by Park Jun-woo) released scenes of the interrogations of Kang Tae-ju (played by Park Hae-soo), Im Seok-man (played by Baek Seung-hwan), Cha Si-young (played by Lee Hee-jun), and Lee Ki-beom (played by Song Geon-hee). Attention is focused on whether viewers will get closer to the truth of the increasingly labyrinthine Kang Sung serial murder case.

In the previous broadcast, Kang Tae-ju suspected both brothers, Lee Ki-beom and Lee Ki-hwan (played by Jung Moon-sung), based on the circumstance that Park Ae-sook's (played by Hwang Eun-hoo) handbag was found at a bookstore. However, it was revealed that Lee Ki-beom, who had been identified as a prime suspect, had made a false confession under duress involving confinement, assault, and threats, delivering a shock. In response, Kang Tae-ju sought out Im Seok-man, who witnessed the illegal arrest by detectives, and asked for his testimony. Just as hope and expectation arose that Lee Ki-beom might be cleared of the charges, Kang Tae-ju fell into confusion upon realizing that Im Seok-man's account, from the eyewitness testimony of Kang Soon-young (played by Seo Ji-hye) to the results of the radioactive isotope test, was consistent.

The photos released today foreshadow the divergent fates of Lee Ki-beom and Im Seok-man, who were neighborhood friends. First, the atmosphere in the police station interrogation room between Kang Tae-ju and Im Seok-man is anything but normal. Kang Tae-ju's gaze shines sharply as if piercing through the other, while Im Seok-man's expression reveals a sense of grievance and frustration. With Im Seok-man emerging as the second suspect following Lee Ki-beom, curiosity is heightened regarding how the 'truth game' between Kang Tae-ju, who suspects him, and Im Seok-man, who denies the crime, will unfold.

Another photo captures Lee Ki-beom in a prison uniform with handcuffs. After being escorted by correctional officers and stepping out of a transport vehicle, he arrives at the Prosecution Service interrogation room where Cha Si-young is waiting. The stark contrast between Cha Si-young, who appears visibly uneasy and anxious, and Lee Ki-beom, whose face is now bleak with nothing left but malice and ruthlessness, draws attention. Earlier, in a pre-release video for the seventh episode, Cha Si-young was shown engaging in a psychological battle with Kang Tae-ju after learning of the existence of another prime suspect she did not know about. This suggests that Cha Si-young summoned Lee Ki-beom to obtain information about that suspect.

The production team of 'Scarecrow' stated, "Starting with the seventh episode airing today, the story will return to a turning point and continue to deliver shocks and plot twists." They added, "As another suspect emerges, the investigation will enter a new phase, and unexpected truths will be revealed, making it impossible to let down one's guard."

The ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Scarecrow' will air its seventh episode today at 10 p.m. on ENA and can also be viewed on KT GiGi TV and TVING. Meanwhile, at 8:15 p.m. on the evening before the seventh episode broadcast, 'Scarecrow Living Room Live' will be held via the ENA DRAMA official YouTube channel. Director Park Jun-woo, along with Park Hae-soo, Lee Hee-jun, and Kwak Seon-young, will attend to provide real-time commentary on the rebroadcast of the sixth episode and hold a Q&A session with viewers.
