Squid Game star O Yeong-Su acquitted of sexual misconduct charges
O Yeong-Su, the 81-year-old actor known for his role in Squid Game, has been acquitted of sexual misconduct charges by a South Korean court. Initially charged in 2022 for allegedly assaulting a woman, he was found guilty in 2024 and received an eight-month suspended sentence, which he planned to appeal. The court overturned the conviction, noting his completion of sexual violence classes and questioning the reliability of the victim’s memory due to the time elapsed since the incident.
