Public ministries requested a one -year prison sentence for “Squid Game” Oh Young-Soo actor in his appeal process, following his sentence to sexually harass a woman in 2017. The requested phrase corresponds to the sentence of his first trial, in which he was given a penalty of 8 months suspended for two years.
The final hearing took place on April 3 at Division 6 of the District Court of Suwon, with the Judges Kwak Hyung-Seop, Kim Eun-Jung and Kang Hee-Kyung. Public ministries have supported, “The defendant did not receive forgiveness from the victim and continues to say he lied. He deserves a heavy sentence.”
They also said, “Oh Young-See, with over 50 years at the theater, has abused his seniority to harass an impotent junior. The victim remains traumatized and unable to live or work normally.”
In response, Oh’s defense has questioned the credibility of the testimony, saying, “His statements are lacking in consistency and challenge logic, common experience and independent accounts”. They also claimed that his apologies were eliminated from the context, “It was written quickly after asking him one during the peak of the popularity of” Squid Game “, aimed at protecting the cast and show staff, not an admission of guilt.”
Dress in formal clothing, oh he turned to the court himself, saying, “I am ashamed to be on trial at this age. If I was wrong and my actions are equivalent to a crime, I will accept it. But I still don’t think I have sexually harassed.”
The accusations derive from two accidents in 2017, when Oh would have embraced the woman during a walk and then kissed her on the cheek near her house as she went on the tour for a show. He was indicted in November 2022 and sentenced in March 2023.
The final verdict in the appeal test should be announced on June 3 **. **
