Golden Globe Award-winning actor Oh Yong-soo, 78, is being prosecuted for ‘inappropriately touching a woman’s body’ in 2017
South Korean actor Yong-soo, one of the stars of the “Squid Game” series, is being prosecuted for sexual assault in 2017, prosecutors told AFP today.
The 78-year-old actor in January became the first South Korean to be honored with a Golden Globe for his role as a vulnerable old man in the hit Netflix dystopian thriller.
According to media reports, South Korean prosecutors formally charged him yesterday, Thursday, with inappropriately touching a woman’s body in 2017. The actor was released.
The information “is not inaccurate,” an official at the Suwon prosecutor’s office in the southern suburbs of Seoul told AFP, without elaborating.
According to South Korean media, the country’s Ministry of Culture subsequently decided to discontinue an advertising campaign featuring Oh Yong-soo.
