The celebrity was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for two years, for sexually assaulting a woman in 2017.
The star of the TV series Squid Game, South Korean actor Oh Yeon-soo, was sentenced to eight months in prison for sexual harassment. This was reported by The Korea Herald.
Specifically, a 79-year-old man was accused of hugging the victim while walking in 2017 and kissing her on the cheek. The woman filed a lawsuit against the artist in December 2021, after the older actor rose to stardom for his role in the Netflix series.
Prosecutors filed charges against him in November 2022.
“The contents of the victim’s diary and the contents of his consultations after the incident are consistent with what happened, and his testimony cannot be given if he did not actually experience it,” said the Suwon court in Gyeonggi province. .
In addition to the eight-month suspended prison sentence, Oh Yeon-soo was also required to undergo 40 hours of sexual assault treatment.
The actor has denied all accusations and said he plans to appeal.
It was previously reported that actor Oh Yeon Soo is facing a year in prison for sexually harassing a woman in 2017.
