Actor Oh Yeong-su has been charged with sexual misconduct.
The 78-year-old, best known for his role as Oh Il-nam in Netflix’s Squid Game, was indicted earlier this week by South Korean prosecutors after a woman claimed he touched her inappropriately in mid-2017.
Yeong-su’s alleged victim filed a complaint to police in December 2021, but they closed the case in April without filing charges against the actor, according to the Yonhap news agency.
However, prosecutors in Suwon reportedly reopened the case and investigated the allegations, which Yeong-su has consistently denied. The actor was then released without detention AFP reported on Friday.
