The "final boss" of Squid Game faces a prison sentence, determined not to plead guilty, is there a twist and turn?

One of the most attention-grabbing characters in the "Squid Game" series is player 001, who is also the "final boss" in the first season. At the peak of glory, the actor who plays this role suddenly gets into trouble.

On April 3, the final trial on the accusatio.n of Oh Young so - player 001 "Squid Game 1", indecent took place at the Suwon District Court (South Korea). Prosecutors recommended a 1-year prison sentence for the actor.

In court, the prosecution made many arguments that the 81-year-old star had harassed a young, weak member of the troupe. To this day, the victi.m still lives in fear both at work and in daily life. The victi.m also expressed her frustration and hurt when she did not receive an apology, even unable to forgive Oh Young so's actions.

The plaintiff's legal representative emphasized the misconduct of the "Squid Game" star and affirmed that the punishment was necessary to rehabilitate and prevent similar crimes. However, Oh Young Soo's lawyer denied all allegations and argued, "The only evidence supporting the prosecution's case is the victi.m's testimon.y, but her testimon.y lacks specificity, consistency and logical coherence."

Regarding the apology message, which was seen as important evidence in the guilty verdict of the first trial, the defense explained: "At that time, Mr. Oh was attracting global attention with the movie Squid Game and he was suddenly asked to apologize. He was caught off guard and only gave an official answer to avoid causing trouble for the production team."

For his part, the 81-year-old star shared: "I'm embarrassed to have to go to court at this ag.e. If my words or actions are wrong, I will accept the consequences. However, in retrospect, I don't believe I have committed any behavior that could be considered a frau.d. If I do any careless actions that hurt someone during my short acquaintance, I regret it very much. More than 80 years of my life collapsed in the blink of an eye and I felt empty. I just want to go back to my place."

In November 2022, the news that actor Oh Young so was prosecuted for "indecently" a woman 50 years younger became the focus of Korean media. The incident occurred in 2017. The victi.m filed a lawsuit against the veteran star in 2021 but was returned by the police. After that, she continued to file an additional lawsuit and was approved by the Suwon district prosecutor (South Korea), starting to investigate.

In 2023, Oh Young so said in an interview with JTBC (South Korea): "It's just her thoughts alone. We walked around the lake, and I held her hand to sho.w her the right direction. I apologize to her because she said she wouldn't make a fuss. But that doesn't mean I admit the allegations."

However, prosecutors said they had found evidence of harassment. At the court hearing in March of the same year, the victi.m confirmed that Oh Young Soo forcibly hugged her while the two were walking together. The woman said that she was also unexpectedly kissed on the right cheek by the actor when she was entering the password to open the door of the house.

In response, the "Squid Game" star emphasized that he held the woman's hand to sho.w the direction. At the 2024 trial, prosecutors said: "Actor Oh Young so showed desire when drinking with the plaintiff in 2017.

When she asked Oh Young so to apologize, the defendant texted her saying that he considered her a gir.l, so he had a controversial behavior. From this move, we realized that the defendant wanted to manipulate the victi.m and tried to deny the mistake. Because the defendant did not sho.w remorse, we hope the judge will give a very strict punishment."

At the first-instance trial, Oh Young so was recommended a sentence of 8 months in prison but was given a suspended sentence with a probation period of 2 years for harassment. In addition, the actor also had to complete a 40-hour treatment program related to his behavior.
