Judge Park Sang Han of the Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Court will hold the second trial of O Yeong Su’s sexual misconduct charges and conduct a private victim-witness examination.
The court made this decision in the first trial last February to protect the victim’s privacy.
O Yeong Su was accused of making inappropriate physical contact with victim A in 2017. A filed a complaint with the police in December 2021. The prosecution handed O Yeong Su over to trial without detention in November last year, believing he was guilty.
However, O Yeong Su denies the charges, saying, “It’s true that we held hands, but there was no sexual assault.”
O Yeong Su, who is widely known as “Kkanbu Grandpa” in Netflix’s drama “Squid Game”, became the first Korean actor to win “Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film” at the Golden Globe Awards in January last year.
