Seoul — South Korea's "Squid Game" actor Oh Young-soo has been found guilty of sexual misconduct, a local court said Friday, after he was charged with assaulting a woman in 2017. In 2022, the 79-year-old became the first South Korean to win a Golden Globe Award for best supporting actor in a series for his performance as a seemingly vulnerable old man in the mega-hit Netflix dystopian thriller.
The actor was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for two years, the Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Court told AFP. He was also ordered to complete 40 hours of classes on sexual violence, the court added.
The victim's own records of the assault and her claims are "consistent ... and appear to be statements that cannot be made without actually experiencing them," judge Jeong Yeon-ju said, according to the court.
