Seoul, Nov 25 (EFE).- Veteran actor O Yeong-su, known globally for his role in the “Squid Game” series, has been indicted by the South Korean prosecutor’s office for allegedly touching a woman inappropriately, Yonhap agency reported Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The district prosecutor’s office of Suwon, to the south of Seoul, indicted O, 78, on Thursday after a complaint by a woman claiming the actor touched her inappropriately in mid-2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The alleged victim filed the case in December last year with the police, who ended up closing it in April without filing any charges against O.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the prosecutor’s office decided to reopen the case and investigate the actor, who has denied the allegations during the proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O began his acting career in the 1960s, mainly in theater, where he has worked in hundreds of plays of classical Korean and Western theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He later joined the National Theater Company of Korea before taking up occasional roles in film or television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around the end of 2021, he became globally known by playing Oh Il-nam, the oldest contestant in the macabre competition of the Netflix series “Squid Game.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His work in the series earned him a Golden Globe for the best actor in a supporting role. EFE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
