Oh Yeong-Su has been arrested.
The 78-year-old actor - best known for playing Player 001 on Netflix's Squid Game - was indicted on sexual misconduct charges on Thursday (November 24) in Suwon, South Korea. He was later released without detention.
Prosecutors revealed that Yeong-Su was indicted after he allegedly inappropriately touched a woman's body back in 2017, Variety reports.
The alleged victim filed a complaint against Yeong-su in December of last year, but authorities closed the case in April. The case was recently reopened at the victim's request, the Yonhap news agency reports.
Yeong-su released a statement denying the allegations.
“I just held her hand to guide the way around the lake. I apologized because [the person] said she wouldn’t make a fuss about it but it doesn’t mean that I admit the charges," Yeong-su shared in his statement with Korean broadcaster JTBC.
Earlier this year, Yeong-su won a Golden Globe for his role in Squid Game.
