While Season 2 may not have matched the success of the original, the latest headlines around one of its most iconic stars have left viewers in disbelief especially among his Indian fanbase.
O Yeong-su, the veteran South Korean actor who played the memorable Player 001 in Squid Game, has been found guilty in a sexual harassment case. The 80-year-old actor, known for his calm presence and emotional performance, was sentenced to one year in prison. He’s also been ordered to attend a 40-hour se*xual violence treatment program.
According to Korean media, the incident dates back to a few years ago when a junior artist accused O Yeon-su of inappropriate physical contact. The victim claimed her career was derailed due to the trauma she faced and sought justice through legal action. Despite O Yeong’s strong career spanning nearly five decades in theatre and film, this verdict marks a dark turn in his legacy.
What once was admiration for his talent has now turned into disappointment for many fans worldwide. While Squid Game catapulted O Yeong-su into international fame, this legal outcome now overshadows that success. The case serves as yet another reminder that fame cannot shield anyone from the consequences of their actions.
