O Yeong-su, an actor renowned for his role in the hit drama ‘Squid Game’, has been facing charges of sexual assault in a trial at a local district court in South Korea. The charges were brought against him by a former member of a theater troupe, who claimed that O had sexually assaulted her in 2017. O’s lawyer has vehemently denied the charges, claiming that the actor had only held the victim’s hand, and that any other allegations are false.
The victim’s lawyer has argued that O had taken advantage of his position to sexually harass her, and that the victim has suffered additional pain due to O denying the charges. The lawyer has also stated that the victim has been significantly impacted by the accusations, and that her emotional and psychological state has been damaged. O’s lawyer has countered this by arguing that the victim’s claims are untrue, and that O had merely been comforting the victim.
The judge presiding over the trial has yet to make a ruling on the case. However, regardless of the verdict, the allegations have already caused significant damage to O Yeong-su’s career and reputation. It remains to be seen what the outcome of the trial will be, and how the case will be resolved.
The highly anticipated trial of O is set to take place on April 14th and will be closed-door. O, known for his critically acclaimed performance in the box office hit ‘Squid Game’, has been nominated for numerous awards and accolades, including the prestigious Golden Globe award which he won in 2022. He has since become a household name and a beloved figure in the entertainment industry. As the trial approaches, all eyes are on O and the outcome of the proceedings.
