Squid Game Actor Accused of Touching a Woman’s Body Inappropriately In 2017
According to reports, the actor was indicted by authorities without detention, the day before on charges of indecent assault.
The seventy-eight-year-old is been accused of inappropriately touching a woman’s body in mid-2017.
The unnamed victim filed a complaint in December 2021 and the related documents with the opinion of the indictment were forwarded to higher authorities in February 2022.
The police were said to have closed the case in April without charging anyone before the prosecutors’ office reopened it at the accused’s request.
Denying the allegations during the investigation, O Yeong-su said in a statement to Korean broadcaster JTBC, “I just held her hand to guide the way around the lake.
I apologized because [the person] said she wouldn’t make a fuss about it but it doesn’t mean that I admit the charges.”
The case has now been transferred to trial. If you would recall, O Yeong-su portrayed the oldest contestant (001) in Netflix’s South Korean survival drama television series, Squid Game.
