Squid Game Star O Yeong-su Is Acquitted of Sexual-Misconduct Charges on Appeal

The actress initially reported the assault in 2021, but the police closed the case that same year, before the release of Squid Game on Netflix. She requested they reopen it, and charges were filed against O in 2022. Following a recent acquittal, she released a statement through the feminist group Womenlink, saying that a legal outcome can’t change what happened or lessen her pain. She also stated she will continue to speak out against sexual violence within the entertainment industry. O expressed his thanks to the court for its decision, according to the BBC. Prosecutors have the option to appeal the verdict, but haven’t announced if they will.
