Supreme Court Acquits Squid Game Actor Oh Young-soo in Sexual Assault CasePreviousNext

South Korean actor Oh Young-soo, known for his role in Netflix's Squid Game, was acquitted by the Supreme Court in a sexual assault case dating back to 2017. The court dismissed the prosecution's appeal, upholding a previous appellate court decision that overturned his initial conviction and suspended sentence. Oh Young-soo had denied the allegations, which involved claims of unwanted physical contact by a female theatre group member. The ruling concludes a legal process lasting over three years.
