Award-winning \u201cSquid Game\u201d actor Oh Young-soo will stand trial on charges of indecent assault after a woman accused him of inappropriately touching her in 2017, a South Korean court said.<\/p>\n
The district court in Seongnam city said Thursday that prosecutors indicted the 78-year-old\u00a0Emmy nominee\u00a0last week over the allegations and that his trial will begin in February.<\/p>\n
Kim Myeong-un, an official at Seongnam\u2019s district prosecutors\u2019 office, said it could not confirm specific details about Oh\u2019s case, which was first reported by local media last week.<\/p>\n
According to the reports, the unidentified woman originally filed a complaint against Oh in December 2021, accusing him of making unwanted physical contact during a meeting in 2017.<\/p>\n
Oh did not answer multiple calls by the Associated Press seeking comments.<\/p>\n
South Korean cable channel JTBC said Oh denied wrongdoing when reached by a reporter, saying that he had only held the woman\u2019s hands to \u201cshow her the way\u201d as they walked around a lake.<\/p>\n
According to JTBC, Oh said he had offered the woman an apology, not because he acknowledged the accusations against him but because the woman allegedly told him she \u201cwouldn\u2019t raise an issue\u201d about the incident if he did.<\/p>\n
Oh became the first South Korean actor to win a Golden Globe in January after he was named the top supporting actor for his role in\u00a0\u201cSquid Game,\u201d a brutal Netflix drama\u00a0about a desperate group of adults competing in deadly children\u2019s games for a chance to escape severe debt.<\/p>\n
Oh was also nominated for an Emmy for his performance as Oh Il-nam, a mysterious elderly contestant who joined the games after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.<\/p>\n
