Shū Kunimitsu (邦光 洙, Kunimitsu Shū, born 23 October 1981), also known as Yoo Soo-young and professionally as Shoo, is a Japanese-born Korean actress and singer.

Shoo debuted as a member of the South Korean girl group S.E.S. in 1997 and continued until 2002 when the group disbanded. She contributed songs as a solo artist after the group's disbandment, before she went on hiatus from her music career to pursue an acting career in 2006. She returned to the music industry, releasing her single album Devote One's Love in 2010. Afterwards, she went back on hiatus for four years to take care of family before transitioning back to acting in 2014. Shoo has appeared in many variety shows, like Oh! My Baby with her family. In 2016, Shoo took part in a special 20th anniversary comeback with her S.E.S group members and the trio released a special album alongside a special concert. In December 2018, Shoo ran into legal issues and went on a hiatus. Upon returning in October 2020, she released her first Japanese digital album I Found Love. Shoo made an official comeback in 2022 with a documentary about her life. She is now an ambassador of Korean Gambling Prevention Treatment Agency.
