Veteran South Korean actor O Yeong-su, recognized for his role in the hit Netflix series “The Squid Game”, was found guilty of sexual harassment.

For its part, the identity of the victim remains anonymous.

In 2022, O Yeong-su made history by becoming the first South Korean to win a Golden Globe for best supporting actor in a series.

The above thanks to his masterful interpretation of an old man in the famous dystopian series.

However, this achievement is now overshadowed by the sentence handed down by the Suwon District Court.

The district sentenced him to eight months in prison suspended for two years.

In addition to the sentence, O Yeong-su must also participate in an anti-sexual violence program, completing 40 hours of training.

The court based its decision on the consistency of the victim’s memories and statements.

Considering that these might not have been expressed without her having lived them.

“The Squid Game,” a series that captivated millions of viewers with its disturbing premise, has been praised on Netflix.

Despite this, the news of O Yeong-su’s conviction casts shadows on the cast.
