Squid Game star Oh Young-soo was convicted Friday of sexual misconduct after hugging, kissing and holding an actors hand against her will in 2017. He was given an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, according to multiple media outlets .

A district court judge in Seongnam, South Korea , also ordered the 79-year-old to complete 40 hours of sexual violence education during his probationary period. Oh was reportedly first charged in late 2022, a little more than a year after Squid Game premiered.

The series dominated household TVs in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and became a bona fide hit for Netflix . Oh, whose role was integral to the plot, went on to win South Koreas first-ever Golden Globe for playing the seemingly kind contestant Oh Il-nam.

The accusations against Oh were first leveled in 2021, but police dropped the case earlier this year, citing a lack of evidence. Prosecutors reopened it after the woman appealed, and indicted Oh for allegedly touching her and kissing her cheek during a 2017 stroll. The two were co-stars in a play and touring the country at the time.

The content of the victims journal, and the content of her counseling after the incident is consistent with what happened, and her testimonies could not have been given unless she actually experienced it, the Suwon District Court reportedly said in Fridays verdict.
